In response to "Here's the issue with trading Papelbon: he can't be signed to an extension. He's hell-set on hitting free agency." by TFox

He's 2 years from free agency, yes?

that won't make much issue for most teams, 2 years of control is fantastic.

I guess my point is, the Sox are fine with 1-yr Paps extensions in the ballpark of $10M. - TFox Oct 12, 12:15 9
- If you find a guy making $500k on the farm to slot in Bard's spot now and someone wants to trade quality players for Papelbon, you take that deal in a - Will Hunting Oct 12, 12:17 8
  - But see, we don't need money to "go toward" anything. We don't need to clear money for Bay. We'll just pay him. - TFox Oct 12, 12:19 7
    - You ask John Henry if, even with your revenue stream, 9mil is real money and he'll agree. - Will Hunting Oct 12, 12:21 6
      - I think you're mistaken in the market for Bay. - musubi Oct 12, 12:27 4
        
        I think the Giants are going to have a lot of money to play with and Bay will get his. - Will Hunting Oct 12, 12:30
        
        If that's true, and I think it is, then we have Bay locked up, IMO. If we can get Bay done for JD Drew money... easy. -- nm - TFox Oct 12, 12:28 2
        
        (I personally think Bay is going to get a 'Drew plus approx $5M' deal.) -- nm - TFox Oct 12, 12:29 1
        
        If I'm not mistaken, that's 17-20mil a year then. - Will Hunting Oct 12, 12:31
      - Smoltz and Penny were making 10, plus what Bay is making now is totally more than Bay's new deal. - TFox Oct 12, 12:25
