Os Sign O'Day for 4 Years - It's official

[Ruzious]

Is this the Frobby-jinx? Price signing announced almost immediately after you posted this.

217 mil over 7 years with the Red Sawx.

Gulp.

It's a good deal for them. Thirty One Million a year.

$1M per start. Assuming health.

Opt out after 3, so assuming health, it basically becomes a 10/310 deal?

I'm not sold he can do better in three years.

I don't think you can automatically assume he opts out.

If it's a straight 31M a year, I think he beats 4/124 easily. If the salary progresses, that's a different story.

Pitchers man, pitchers.

He has already been losing some velocity. What if at 32 his velocity looks like CC's?

If that happens, he can just sit back and collect his 124M. If he doesn't regress too much, someone will pay.

I agree he might opt out, was just saying he isn't a lock. Someone like Stanton or hypothetically Heyward would be a lock if they don't get seriously injured.

If he has three years that are up to his past standards, I agree he'll beat 4/$124 mm. And the team that signs him will then probably regret doing so.

Finally some great news, get it done DD.

[WEAVERMAN]

Could Brach, Givens, O'Day, Britton be the next shut down bullpen, a la the Royals? With starting pitching now so expensive, it might be the way to go. Sign another #3 and we're all set.

Yes they can be. That's why signing DOD is so important.

[WEAVERMAN]

I think if the offer is close to the Gnats he could stay here.

Who would want to play for WAS when you can play for the Orioles, right?

[jjnono]

"Competitive offer" the term of our offseason 2015-2016

I hope we don't see the phrase often, as it pretty much means "also ran." BTW, that offer (for O'Day) is probably based on perceived value, not market value, and winds up either a year short or $8MM shy of the actual deal. I won't be heartbroken if he leaves, but I would love to have him back...

[WEAVERMAN]

DC is where the news all is.

DOD's heart is with us, his wife can do what she wants.
