G&T Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 QUOTE (Marty34 @ May 21, 2009 -> 02:05 PM) $22M for Peavy in '13?? That would be insanity, not to menthat DeLuca said that was the START of sweeteners. It's probably trips to see family and stuff like that.

Steve9347 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ May 21, 2009 -> 01:06 PM) Remember....there's a $4 million buyout there as it currently stands.....so it would only be guaranteeing an additional $18 million (still not a bad salary for a true ace in todays game) I love it when you analyze. I'm back in. DO it b****es. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when you are all b****ing in 2013 that we can't put anything around Peavy... remember this. The Kids Can play II Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molto Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 To guarantee $22 million four years from now is pretty stupid for any pitcher, let alone one coming from the NL. If they end up agreeing to it, I just hope Peavy wants it more so he knows he'll be in Chicago for an extra year, rather than strictly for the extra cash.

Steve9347 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I guess by 2013 we'd be fine anyway, because we'd have Yankee-type cash from back-to-back-to-back World Series titles... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WCSox Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 21, 2009 -> 11:04 AM) $22 million would cripple this franchise Not really. It would mean that the Sox wouldn't be able to re-sign Buehrle, but this isn't the $100 million that the Rockies gave Hampton or anything. I'm not sure if I would do this, but it's financially-doable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Personally I think the Sox probably knew that the option had to be picked up. And they are just trying it without the option first, so that they then could "tempt" him with the option. Even though from the beginning they were fine with the option. It just makes no sense to go this far without being fully committed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, like I said, the Pads could always throw in a little cash to make the average salary the same and they get a better PTBNL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they end up agreeing to it, I just hope Peavy wants it more so he knows he'll be in Chicago for an extra year, rather than strictly for the extra cash. He'll be making 17 million guaranteed no matter what in 3 years anyway. It's a lot of money, but if you want a true ace, that's the price you have to pay now a days.

bighurt4life Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I had to take a student on a two day intervention out in the woods, I get back into town 20 minutes ago and we might have Jake Peavy????!!!?!?!?!

G&T Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 21, 2009 -> 02:04 PM) Classic BearSox. 2013 is f***ing 4 years away. Anything can happen with a pitcher. $22 million would cripple this franchise... even if he plays well. That's f***ing Manny money. If the Sox picked this up, I'd be livid. If KW went into this without thinking he'd have to pick up the option then he wasn't thinking things through. There are certain players the organization is willing to make a leap for, and Peavy is one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
