My brother just bet me $40 that Lester's AAV will be above $27.5MM.
And not 20 minutes later this is tweeted:
I would be surprised if it goes that high. My guess would be somewhere around $25 million.cutuphalfdead wrote:My brother just bet me $40 that Lester's AAV will be above $27.5MM.
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.philpritchard wrote:I would be surprised if it goes that high.

its insane. but, I guess if you're paying what you're paying those other guys, Lester's going to command this...cutuphalfdead wrote:You and everyone else in the world.

If this kid is right again it looks like Lester's getting less than 25MM a year.EJ wrote:its insane. but, I guess if you're paying what you're paying those other guys, Lester's going to command this...cutuphalfdead wrote:You and everyone else in the world.

How does a 14-year-old break big moves like this?

I don't know what WEEI is saying but The Sports Hub is pretty realistic about it.EJ wrote:Does most of Boston sports radio consider Sandoval to be a Papi replacement in a couple years?

At least the contracts aren't nearly as bad.@SkitchP wrote:CHUD, does this feel a lot like Crawford, A-Gone SIGN ALL THE FREE AGENTS did?
Well, I get how it happens, it's just... there's no way I would have had that kind of initiative at that age.cutuphalfdead wrote:Same was as anyone else: acquire connections, work the phones.philpritchard wrote:How does a 14-year-old break big moves like this?

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.@SkitchP wrote: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.
