Tnetennba Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 It’s an odd structure on the option/buyout but whatever, lower AAV makes me like it all the more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxnfins Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 4th year is probably a burn year, uncle Jerry just didn’t want to shell out $15M all at once. Probably $5m over 3y or $1M over 15y, the new Bobby Bonilla! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFutureIsNear Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) Very interesting...so basically it’s 4 years 54 mil, but the Sox built in a “parachute clause” to be able to cut ties and payout the last $15M over time if things go bad.

It’s not in Sox vocabulary so they haven’t thought of that. In all seriousness, since it’s still treated as a 4 year contract, I think the AAV is still the same.

southsider2k5 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 2 hours ago, YourWhatHurts said: I remember people here were crapping on some Score show host or whatever who said that the Sox never planned on spending big money or giving out long-term deals or signing top-tier FAs this offseason. Some people took shots at him saying he had no sources while slurping up the food guys. Well, who was really right? By my estimation, "no source" Score is correct and the food frauds are still frauds. Aged like a fine wine. Thanks for getting this deal done. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
