The one thing I don't understand is that the Sox must have known Gonzalez would want a Teixeira type deal, maybe they were hoping for a deal but they had to know it would eventually get to that price range. And he deserves it. He's put up the numbers the past 4 years or so in a ballpark that is terrible to hitters and a lineup with no protection.
They look even worse when you figure they were sticking on offering less years and money than Werth ended up getting.
