If Vladdy has a repeat of his 2023 season, I don't think he's getting a contract like this at 27. Wish him luck though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OT but I was thinking this morning … the max contract the Sox have ever dished out is 10 percent of what Soto and Ohtani got. That’s just hilarious.

SoCalChiSox Posted December 14 Share Posted December 14 On the one hand that's pretty good money for a 1B/DH. On the other hand, in this market, he could probably get more if he has another good season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boopa1219 Posted December 14 Share Posted December 14 The taxes in Canada are going to tank that contract. That’s probably why they can’t sign any big time players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted December 14 Share Posted December 14 Wow, I didn’t pay any attention to his stats after about the first half, and wow did his numbers go nuts in the second half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnetennba Posted December 15 Share Posted December 15 11 hours ago, Bob Sacamano said: Larger shape 1B should def take that. Despite his build, he's been very durable. His 156 games played in 2023 was the lowest in a full season since his rookie year, in which he didn't until late April. $340M is a lot to reject, but we don't know the years or AAV. Shouldn't be too hard to match or best those numbers on the open market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joejoesox Posted December 15 Share Posted December 15 stupid question, but is that contract being listed as USD? or CAD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But all we have is a supposed dollar number and no other terms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted December 16 Share Posted December 16 Half would be taxed in the US in whatever state he's playing in. His Canada taxes would be 100% credited on his US return. You work in the US and the US takes their money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
