This was being discussed in the Bogaerts thread, but thought it would be good for a new poll question.
We were discussing the possibility that the Red Sox could have signed Bogaerts to a new contract extension before he hit free agency. Obviously, the San Diego offer was overwhelming, but could the Sox have signed Bogaerts to a comparatively moderate extension before Bogaerts hit free agency? @moondog80 threw out these terms:

Bogaerts first year in San Diego has been a disappointment, but at 3.7 bWAR so far this year he would be the second highest performing player on the Sox, behind only Bello, and has, at least by bWAR standards, out performed both Devers and Story, two guys the Sox have signed to big extensions. So the question is, how would you feel right now if Bogaerts was on the books for an additional 6 years and $160 million?How would you feel right now if they had done that and they were looking at 6 more years at 160 million?
