Great deal.

8 million? Wow, I'd have been cool with the Brewers giving him twice that.

Peavy,

I really hope you wouldn't want the Brewers to sign Schilling to a one year, 16 million dollar deal.

[AmyintheSouth]

There's also $6 million in incentives: $2 million in weight-based incentives that was apparently Schilling's ideas, $3 million in innings pitched incentives, and $1 million for receiving any votes in Cy Young balloting.

 

That's a win-win deal.

I would!

Brewers dodge bullet--thanks Mr. Red Socks.

[PlayerHader]

That'd have been a deal I'd have been VERY happy getting Schilling for.

[GAME05]

dodged a bullet? that would have been an awesome deal if he would have done that with the Brewers (granted, it would have taken much more). $8M isn't a terrible amount at all, and the incentives just mean we'd only pay a lot if he was at least a decent pitcher for us.

 

I think the Sox got a real bargain to get Schilling back.

[GAME05]

...heck, the Pettite situation isn't alltogether different, and it's a no-incentive $16M offer he has on the table for him, so that's in part why I see the Sox got a good deal on this one.

Yeah -- I wouldn't have had a problem with that at all either --

[Thurston Fluff]

$16 million for a 41 year old with some medical concerns is the past is a lot to pay in an area that the team is pretty deep at. If the same senario was there for an outfielder I'd be on board. $8 million with incentives would have been easier to swallow but I don't think we get the same discount as the Sox may have got.

[fondybrewfan]

So if all incentives are met that would be a $20 million dollar deal. Obviously if he meets all the criteria he would have been well worth the 20 million

Not any more. He turned it down today.

Actually I think it is a $14 million deal if he reaches all the incentives. It's a heck of a nice contract for the Sox.

I'd do it without hesitation.

I'm normally on the cheapskate side of things, but I just don't see much risk at all with any one year deal, pretty much regardless of the dollar amount involved.

Yep, especially when it comes to pitchers
