Rumors starting that David Price might need Tommy John

No Price, No Papi, Pedroia and Porcello come back to earth...


East is wide open

theyre still "ok" based on projections but its definitely a blow

can you link us to at least one rumor?

quote:

---

for all the talk about how badly price was overpaid, he still gave the red sox surplus value

For one year. It was a terrible contract.

I would contend he offered closer to fair market value than surplus. With lower contracts this offseason, there have been suggestions of the cost of a win being more like $7 million instead of $8 million.

that very well may be the case. and if it is, id still argue thats not "terrible" or "horrible" or a humongous overpay

He is seeing Andrews today for a second opinion. He done.

---

for his salary, you pretty much need the level of production that he gave the red sox

Like I said, for one year it is a good contract. We all knew he was overpaid and got too many years. When will teams learn that it isn't a good idea to sign a guy close to 30 for long term deals. What will his contract look like this year if he needs tommy john surgery?

At the highest level, there is always some value in their contract. Like I said, he was paid around fair market value last year.

Trout and Kershaw will never command $70 or $50 million AAV, respectively, even if that is what they are worth. War/$ should not be perfectly linear even though additional wins are because the market does not operate on that theoretical of a level.
