I would be surprised if it goes that high. My guess would be somewhere around $25 million.

You and everyone else in the world. My brother is convinced he gets closer to 30 mil a year. That's what prompted me to offer an over/under bet of 27.5.

its insane. but, I guess if you're paying what you're paying those other guys, Lester's going to command this...

If this kid is right again it looks like Lester's getting less than 25MM a year.

Does most of Boston sports radio consider Sandoval to be a Papi replacement in a couple years?

How does a 14-year-old break big moves like this? It really makes me feel like I've wasted my life.

I don't know what WEEI is saying but The Sports Hub is pretty realistic about it.

Same was as anyone else: acquire connections, work the phones.

CHUD, does this feel a lot like Crawford, A-Gone SIGN ALL THE FREE AGENTS did?

At least the contracts aren't nearly as bad.

Well, I get how it happens, it's just... there's no way I would have had that kind of initiative at that age.

[@SkitchP]

haha. Apparently the Hanley deal is 4/88 with a 5th year vesting for 22 more. So thats 5/110. That seems a bit high.

[Norah]

yep :/

[@SkitchP]

yep :/

On the plus side, you're a shoo-in for the world series in 2 years. The hard part is going to be convincing the Dodgers to take Hanleys contract. Toronto could fall for it maybe?

I'd have to see what the details of the vesting option are. 4/88 isn't bad for Hanley, I expected him to do better than that.

I'm not crazy about what they did today, but I don't hate it. They still need to get at least TWO front end starters though, and Lester kind of needs to be one of them.

[Coach]

Overpaying happens. Like the moves - gives them more options via trades. Sign Lester.

Hey considering what Stanton got paid it's a bargain, and the whole facial reconstruction thing doesn't apply
