That's a lot better than what was rumored earlier ($85 million over 5 years). I'd gladly take him at $14 million a year.

Kyyle23 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Nov 14, 2014 -> 10:52 AM) Per mlbtr... 9:36am: Heyman reports that the two sides are very serious about getting a deal done, suggesting that it could end up being for a whopping 13 years. The two sides are said to be on the same page regarding money, Heyman writes, but two non-monetary issues still need to be worked out: a no-trade clause and a potential opt-out clause midway through the deal. One source characterized the negotiations as being on the 10-yard line. 8:40am: ESPN’s Buster Olney hears that one possibility that has been discussed is a 12-year, $325MM contract (ESPN Insider required and recommended). Olney also wonders how the frightening, season-ending injury to Stanton has affected his perspective and influenced his willingness to accept a deal like this. As Olney notes, Stanton acknowledged after the injury that had the fastball which struck his face hit him just millimeters in a different direction, his injury could have been career-threatening. MERCY!!! It reminded me of Kirby Pucketts career ending fastball to the face. Scary stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary stuff The thing is, the glaucoma in Puckett didn't develop until months after the injury. He played in the Spring of '96 (and well) but developed a spot in his right eye towards the end. It turned into glaucoma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turned down $12.75M option with #Phillies. @jonheymancbs first with $$$. Jeff Passan @JeffPassan 9m9 minutes ago This says a lot: A.J. Burnett essentially paid $4.25M not to be a Phillie.

Vazquez looks like he will be a hell raiser on the base paths, maybe a little switch hitting version Jose Altuve. I'd take em both on the Sox farm.
