David Price to the Red Sox

7 years 217 Million with a opt out option after 3 years.

$31M per year? Speaking as a Red Sox fan it isn't my money but that is just plain ridiculous. NO player is worth that kind of money. Especially one that only plays once every five games. That sucker better be damn good his first year in Boston because he will be looking at the biggest pressure cooker he has ever seen from a fan base if he stinks.

Agreed. Too much money. That's not a knock on Price, either.

Biggest contract ever for a pitcher and only 2nd to Miggy's in salary per year.

And for someone who's never won a playoff game right?

As a starter yes. But he has won a couple games in the postseason coming out of the bullpen.
