Bay rejects Red Sox deal

https://sports.espn.go.com/boston/mlb/news/story?id=4670780

What time do talks start?

Scott Boras fucking things up again.....I dont think he is worth 15 Mill per year.....I am sure some dumb ass will raise the price tag up for the Red Sox....The Red Sox are in a bind....They have to either sign Bay or Holliday.

I think that Free Agency starts 12 friday night....Not positive though

Yea...it officially starts right...NOW

And give Bay $10 million a season...he's a good player...not great.

About time someone didn't give the Red Sox a 'hometown' discount.

Sox would have a 200 M payroll also if they paid their stars what they are worth.

Pedroia is a league MVP, he's worth 10 mil on the open market

Okajima is a serious lefty 8th inning type relief pitcher, he worth significantly more than hes being paid

Ellsbury isn't even making a million, he's another guy who is good enough to secure a 5 year 30m type contract (at least).

Papelbon is an elite closer, he should also be making 10m per.

Jon Lester is a 15 to 20M per year pitcher, look what he's  making.

You pay these players what they would get on the open market and Boston's payroll would be touching 200m

For whatever reason, these guys keep playing for peanuts.

Why pay players more than they have to? When extension time comes, that's when you dish out the big bucks. But why pay a player like Pedroia more money than you have to when there is really nothing he can do about it? His time will come when he gets the big bucks. Same with Ellsbury...Same with Lester.

Yes...their payroll will be up there in the high $100 million ranks, but that's WHEN they get those big bucks. And Ellsbury is quite a few years away from that. It's all about how long you've been around. Bruney got paid $1.25 million this season. That's slightly more than Joba, Hughes and Robertson combined. Hinske is getting $1.5 million while Melky (the starting centerfielder) is getting $1.4 million. Because he's been around longer and is still under team control with arbitration and whatnot.

this quote is just pure ignorance

ellsbury and lester havent even hit free agency yet bone head, the red sox extend their young players for a reason.....they dont want them to hit free agency so they give them a good amount of money before that happens to assure them a great pay day a couple years earlier then it would happen and the young players arent gunna turn money like that down in an uncertain market....

I say Bay deserved $10-12 million a season...but $15 is just stupid.

the other bone head said he isnt even worth 10 million a year......thats just plain stupid

Well to be quite honest thee is no celebrity/sports person who is worth 10 million.But that is the way society is these days.

I agree...nobody really deserves that much money unless they're curing cancer or something. But in this world that we live in...he's worth about $10-12 million.

He's losing value by each post you make.
