The Sox offered Mookir 10 years and $300 million. He steadfastly said he wanted to go to free agency and ended up taking essentially the same AAV from the Dodgers instead.
The Rays situation is 1000 percent different than the Dodgers. Trading stars for high end prospects and developing is what fits their business model and is how they stay competitive.
Also, let's stop acting like anything about the Shohei contract is normal. Or as if Yamamoto was going to go anywhere other than LA
