Would it not be better for the Red Sox to try and get this guy around $12.5M for 4 years, with as many club options added to the contract as they can? This would help them spread out the average cost per year of adding him should he become a huge star. I know Boras is a hardball agent, but apparently he has a good relationship with Epstein.
I mean, thinking about it, this money could have been spent on 2 year deals for Schmidt and Zito, adding 2 pitchers to their rotation, instead of 1.
