greg775 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 (edited) This is a no brainer. See how Abreu hits this season (and how he fields). If he heats up and has an Abreu-like season, you try to sign him. His last contract was huge, so he obviously doesn't need the money. Next year will be his age 36 season. Sox need to see how he progresses in his age 35 season. Again, if he turns back into Jose, you sign him for 3 years, 45 million and call it a day. If somebody wants to pay more than that, well, regrettably let him walk. Now if Jose hits between .200 and .220 and dips to 15 home runs or some such total and he wants to keep playing, see if he'll take 3 years 21 million total. If he's insulted and your talent evaluators (I can't believe I'm trusting Sox scouts here) think he's toast, let the Blue Jays have him for 54 million over 3 years. I hate to say it, but you have to let this year play out with Jose. He's at 'that age' where most fans want you gone and most baseball statmeisters say you are of extremely low value. Since I love Jose I say keep him. If he stinks all season, obviously I'm a realist and I'd be OK with letting him sign with somebody else. All depends on the kind of year he has.

What have you been watching? See, some people can do two things at once. Lance Lynn can weigh more than say, Lucas Giolito, and still be an effective pitcher. You could have served our country and still have the personality of an asshole. It's the same thing! Expand I served with plenty of assholes. Which is why I didn't re-enlist. And I'm sure thankful to Super-Marine for single handedly providing freedom to every single American everywhere.
