Title: J D Martinez
Post by: JimR on February 07, 2018, 07:11:04 am
Pitching a fit today about Boston’s “inflexibility.” Orchestrated temper tantrum to follow up Boras’ blast yesterday, no doubt.

Who else is in the market?  The inflexible Red Sox offer is 5 years at $125M.  Bleacher Report says Boras wants $200M.  So do I.

Perhaps JD doesn't understand that getting a team to bid against itself is difficult.

Boras certainly wouldn't tell him that.

I haven't followed this closely, but someone wants to give JD 125 over 5, and he is upset about that? 

Didn't Springer just get 12 per year, and he is twice as valuable as JD.

Yeah, I'm real upset the Astros let JD go, not.  That is a very nice contract offer.  The Red Sox should say,  offer is off the table.

Fuck Boras. He tells his guys not to sign, they obey like robots, then he blames the owners.

BTW, Chris Sale is "only" making 12.5 mil this upcoming season.   He's a freaking bargain.  http://www.spotrac.com/mlb/boston-red-sox/payroll/

Whatever happened to the old "secret bidder" gambit?

In JD's comments today he implied that another team was offering him 5 years.  They're a secret.

Not really comparable when they are under club control
