David Price signs $217 million deal with the Red Sox

[packerd_00]

the only people confused are the ones that do not see the cash coming into "the business". the money from NESN (in this case) and the $10 beer has gotten so out of control this is a joke. i played professional baseball and have friends in the majors and i don't even care about the game anymore.

Whats your name.

[d2bets]

He will not even be the highest paid player this off season

You think Greinke tops $217 mil?

[d2bets]

They won't boo him cuz they are racist, they will boo him out of town if he sucks and shows poor character. It's a crazy contract but this is what these guys are worth. Greinke will make more than Price I think when he gets signed again.

I would bet that Greinke is not getting more than $217 mil. Greinke probably get like 5/160.

Not him

overpaid bums

Baseball a disaster

How much did Heyward's agent pay for that article? LOL no way. I guess maybe someone will be crazy enough to give him near 200 mil. I personally think he's overrated. But I would still bet that he doesn't top $217 mil.

How do you give any athlete who's 30 years old a 7 year deal for 217 mil?? How the hell do you do it??

I've always been athletic my whole life. Your prime is 28-30. You feel things start to slow down approaching your 33rd birthday. And when I mean slow down... you aren't worth sh#$ at 33+

I don't get these long deals... especially with anyone in their 30's.

Pitching is different from most athletic positions. Besides quaterback, it's one of the most cerebral positions in sports. A lot of guys get even better in their mid 30s as they learn how to master pitches and command pitches in the strike zone. They might lose some velocity, but the knowledge they gain makes them even better than before when they had great velocity. Price has one of the best change ups in baseball and already shows great command. As long as he avoids injury, could get better with age. He's certsinky in the same room with the other top lefties in the game, Kershaw and Bumgarder. I doubt anyone would bat an eye if either of those guys got this contract with the sox.

HUGH overpay

Wowzers if true.

Boston is going to make people serious money next year. And Pirates . They are the two teams I see them starting off hot off the gates .

Exactly. Joke's on us, not them. We the fans have allowed this to happen.

The last time I went to an MLB game (wanted to take my son for the experience), I spent enough to take the entire family on vacation. Used to cost my dad and I $5 each to sit in the bleachers at Tiger Stadium.

Never again.

No different than any other sport. These guys are paid slightly more, but a family of 6 or so is dishing out 500 bucks these days to go to a sporting event. If you want good seats, and want to buy food and drinks, call it 700-800 bucks for the fam.

[Jeff_Black]

horrible deal he's going to give up a lot of homers in that park and obviously he struggles in the post season. Glad the Dodgers didn't sign him and hi straight as an arrow fastball

Huh? Price had one of the better performances/ERA at Fenway

[Jeep_Life 42]

Too much money for a guy who had one good year...that's typical Boston baseball for ya!

Whats your name.

I played locally in New England in the summer, my name is not important. In college at Seton Hall with Jason Grilli and Matt Morris to name a couple for you so can look them up if you need MLB references. Most people here are full of shit, I am not.

217 mil for Kirk Rueter

enjoy

[JayDr3am]

toward this middle part of the season he has showed hes worth the money spent...

[jjgold]

it is a disgrace

how do these guys make so much money for not even having great previous numbers?

this is part of the reason they can pay these contracts. people are idiots to shell out this kind of money to see these games and all they do is overspend for concessions and stare at their dumbass phone during the whole game. stay home and watch it on your overpriced cable or satellite system.

Every time Im invited to college football games I pass, much more enjoyable to me to watch in HD with multiple angles, instant replay, and DVR. I actually hate watching it live, I used to always stare at the big screen after plays waiting for instant replay lol.

i guess some people have money to burn and instead of gambling they want to go and see this stuff live. eventually, they will figure out they have been taken and someone else will buy the tickets. poor people go to the beach since it's free. richer people support these athletes. everyone needs to get out once in a while. no matter where they are all they do anyway is stare at those stupid phones all day anyway.
