I think the Giants will have a hole to fill

WCTYSON · Nov 19, 2014

Giants are reported to have offered at 5/90, which he turned down. He is wanting a 7 year deal. I would pass at that level.

Sevens years that's seven more years of getting fatter

Thought the Sox stopped doing these big contracts

I am sort of curious to see the photo of Panda and Papi standing in the on-deck circle together, and the snarky captions the NY papers would have.

Let him go! His regular season stats aren't impressive. He has so much good will built up here Giants fans always give him a break, I dunno that Boston will.

I understand Panda wants the longer contract, but I just don't get why he'd want to leave the Giants.
He's beloved in San Francisco, will get tens of millions of dollars regardless and is an icon in that city, especially with his World Series heroics.
He says he loves it in SF, and has enough money for 10 lifetimes, so why leave?

I'm guessing the sox have offered something like 5 years 85 and now its up to the giants to beat it. Anything close, and I'd also guess, he stays in SF.
The giants won't give him 7 years and I really doubt the sox will either. \

Sounds like the sox made their offer and he is giving the giants the chance to keep him, sounds pretty fair.

Sox have signed juan francisco as a backup option.

AnthonyCorona · Nov 19, 2014

Giants already offered him 5 years 90, same as Pence. The local shows seemed convinced he's staying since Boston's offer wasn't thrown out by Panda's agent and he's leaving town unsigned.

Giants are out on Panda.
90% Redsox
10% jays
The Jays don't give out contracts longer than 5yrs. So, unless they go nuts on $/yr he will be in Boston.

AnthonyCorona · Nov 19, 2014

I think he stays put

Great points. Maybe he does not want to leave but just wants to leverage his position in the market, then go back to SF.

I have to agree with aarne. As a Jays fan it's frustrating that they have a self-imposed 5-year cap on contracts, but I suppose it makes sense. They're reportedly going to present their offer to Panda within 24 hours.

Please no....don't do it, Ben.

D-Lite · Nov 20, 2014

I hope to all hell he signs with Boston.
- I don't have to hear about friggin Panda from all the Giants fans -
- I get to hear all the Sox fans whine about an ever-expanding and quickly degrading fatty
