Price to the Red Sox, 7 years $217 million.  Now the free agent market should start moving.

That's the 7th largest contract in history, and largest for a pitcher.

I wonder if he will opt out?  I wonder how back loaded it is.

The answer is none.

Price’s $31M AAV might not be record for long. Greinke’s deal also could come soon. #Dodgers vs. #SFGiants, 5- or 6-year deal expected.

It sounds like it's just a straight $31 million a year.

Shocking that he went to highest bidder!

And glad not to Cardinals.

Shows that Cards have big bucks to spend this off-season, right?

Or that they're the new bridesmaids.   Of course, this gives them money for Heyward.

I wonder how close they were?  If the Red Sox outbid every body by $30 million like was rumored before this that is a $26 AAV.

Zack Greinke now expected to sign with #Dodgers or #Giants by the end of the week on a 5- or 6-year deal. The #Dodgers still the favorites

That will leave it wide open for us to get Bartolo Colon and John Lackey!

The #RedSox needed a decision by today by David Price so they didn't lose out on Greinke as well. Greinke was their back-up plan.

So assume Greinke goes back to the Dodgers that would leave the Giants with needing 2 pitchers.  I wonder what their preference is?  Cueto, Samardzija, Lackey, Leake?   Are the Cardinals going to sign a FA pitcher will they enter the trade market?  What the heck are the Cubs going to do?

David Price's annual salaries: 30, 30, 30, 31, 32, 32. 32. No deferred money in deal. Opt out after 3 yrs #redsox
