And, arguably, one of the most foolish.

For a second there, thought you were going to argue that he’s being paid too much. Well done.

Great move, always nice to see boston continue to get older with silly moves like this.

It’s not a silly move. The Sox are getting far more value out of Wakefield than they are paying him. Since ’02, here’s the breakdown of value vs contract.
Value Contract
$8.6 $3.2
$11.0 $4.0
$5.9 $4.4
$9.3 $4.7
$6.4 $4.0
$11.0 $4.0
$8.9 $4.0
$8.5 $4.0
He’s been worth just under $70M and paid only $32M.

I hope they keep him around until he’s 60!! Now lets extend big sloppy’s contract next!
