Bogaerts' deal is the longest contract ever signed at age 30 or older.

linkdude said:Shortstop Xander Bogaerts and the San Diego Padres are in agreement on an 11-year, $280 million contract, a source familiar with the deal tells ESPN. A monster contract and the Padres, after missing Trea Turner and Aaron Judge, get the longtime Red Sox shortstop.

According to a major league source, the Red Sox were “really far” from the Padres offer - and their offers were short of $200M. Just a huge gap in where the Padres went.

Eso si, Que es said:
Not many shortstops still available and there are several teams still looking. Is Carlos getting paid or getting played?

The years are huge, but with inflation that dollar amount is gonna have less and less value as time goes on. Think of how expensive things were in 2012, and compare that to now. That's year 1 vs year 11. I know, it's still a lot of money, but in athlete terms, it doesn't go as far.
I guess if his goal was length, then he got what he wanted. If that's the case then good for him.

Spaeder is right again.How is the fact that I called the “Judge Balls” in June 21st not a national story? Why are no major networks talking about the hands-on research conducted by @Bbl_Astrophyscs? Ask yourself those questions, then realize that baseball media is owned by MLB — I am not; we are not. https://t.co/MLKeOIwXPc

The RedSox are what could have happened to us.
Won a title in 17 = won a title in 18
Springer left = Mookie traded before he left
Correa left = Bogaerts left
JV TJ = Sale Injuries
Keuchel decline & left = Price decline & trade
But we found ways to add better pieces and develop from within.
I wonder if Philly who has Boston's old GM now will be in a similar situation before too long.Farmer1906 said:

I guess I should have tried to hit .200 and strikeout 150 times a year. Prolly could have made $20 million a year at this point

It's never really clear to me on those distances. Is it where it landed or a projected distance if the flight wasn't obstructed? If it's the latter, then no way that ball was only 450.
I feel like John Smoltz said on the broadcast that is like someone hitting a ball 500 feet down the line. There has to be some sort of formula out there that accounts for the velocity a ball leaves the bat at, how rapidly it decelerate, and how many feet per second it travels as it loses velocity. You would have to factor in the angle of its trajectory and how high up it was when it hit. Not sure anyone other than a surveyor or someone who works at Minute Maid could figure that part out

So, Correa to Boston, SF, ATL, or LAD? I'm thinking Boston now that X is out.
Besides owning the Yankees in the postseason he really didn't do much and certainly cost us 2 games in the 2019 WS.Harry Dunne said:
I know this is petty and I should be more thankful for his huge part in the two championships and just leave it at that, but chasing money this late in his career when he's got so much already instead of staying here and really cementing the dynasty rubs me the wrong way.
I just want him to ufck off to New York already and let's move on.
Go ahead and flame my ungrateful ass. I deserve it.
I think the same reasons can be made why I think Correa will get signed by the dodgers. Cant let the Padres still all the spotlight...Mathguy64 said:
I wonder how much of that 11 year deal was the Padres getting stiffed by Turner and others and they decided they couldn't take the PR hit of being stiff again and they went on tilt mode. A 6 or 7 year deal for a 30 year old SS is sketchy. 11 is malpractice.
This is madness.Prosperdick said:Besides owning the Yankees in the postseason he really didn't do much and certainly cost us 2 games in the 2019 WS.Harry Dunne said:

Yes he was nails in the regular season but was hurt for two years and you would think the $60 million he was getting paid would be worth it to him to be in the dugout mentoring younger pitchers or just show up to show his support, but nope.
I hope he flames out and the NY press eats both Mr. Upton and his hot wife alive.
