I'm disappointed that the Sox are losing him as this leaves a big hole that will be hard to fill. However, $13 million per for 4 years is ridiculous. He just isn't a $13 million player.

It's amazing really that he got this contract. Just 2 years ago, half way through his 4 year, $ 28 million dollar deal with the Sox there was serious grumbling that he was overpaid. Of course, he's had 2 great seasons since then and his market value has obviously increased, but not $13 million.
