A Realistic View at 2018: Part I

[SCM33]

Team statement: 'We are aware of the incident involving Steven. This is certainly a matter that the Red Sox take very seriously. It is my understanding that both local police and MLB are looking into this and for that reason, the club won’t have any further comment at this time.

 

Not good enough.

 

why would they cut him? Didn’t you hear? The redsox were looking for pitching at the winter meetings, not hitting according to Stanton’s agent. Why would they release an asset? Haha

[SCM33]

so. now that my Giancarlo dreams are crushed. Harper next offseason?

 

I wholy expect the Yankees to be in on Harper, and I’m not kidding.

Can't rule it out by any means.

[moonslav59]

Or, Machado.

[Kimmi]

Theo delivered a parade to both Boston & Chicago.

Greatest. GM. of. all. time.

 

Yup. No contest.

[Kimmi]

I wholy expect the Yankees to be in on Harper, and I’m not kidding.

 

I don't doubt that one bit, though they might be more in on Machado.

[Larry Cook]

Yup. No contest.

 

And who In their right mind would ever have fired a great GM like Theo?

[Emp9]

Did anyone else hear that Wright got arrested for domestic abuse?

 

Domestic abuse with zero domestic violence. I’d like to know more. It sounds like he got arrested over a shouting match. I guess he could’ve threatened somebody? Ehh, I’d need to know more about it is all I’m saying.

At least that's Steven Wright's version, according to his attorney. Has anyone seen a police report on the incident?

 

I trust the system will strive to uncover the truth.

I like our OF. I want Machado next year instead. This infield is really bad in it current state.

[moonslav59]

As of now, I agree.

 

We'll have one more year of viewing Devers at 3B on defense, and we can decide if he should continue at 3B or be moved to 1B.

 

We could also sign Machado to play SS and trade Bogey (or move him to 2B, if Pedey is toast).

Well, I’m going by the lone article in my news feed about it. I haven’t seen anything else as of yet. There are certain laws that if the police are called, someone HAS to be arrested no matter what happened. It’s not that cut and dry is what I wanted to point out. If it turns out he’s guilty of ACTUAL abuse, then I’d be fine with letting him go.

The bulk of the reports that I have seen involved the family saying what did and did not happen and the police have stated that there was no physical violence.

Do you have a link to the police suggesting that "the police have started that there was no physical violence"?

 

The Tennessee assault law apparently does not require physical violence:

[moonslav59]

Preventing someone from calling 9-1-1 when they feel the need to do so, is pretty bad (assuming these facts are true).

No I don't have a link as I have other, more pressing things to do than make a huge issue out of this s***.

 

I read the same stuff in a few places. I am sure you can find it.

agreed. 100%. we have seen this movie before.....

[Slasher9]

. There are certain laws that if the police are called, someone HAS to be arrested no matter what happened.

 

this is a good point.

[moonslav59]

Would anybody (including Theo) trade....

 

Porcello ($42M/2), JBJ (est $6M arb then 2 more arbs), Holt (est $2M arb) and H Hembree (out of options)

 

for

 

Kyle Schwarber (4 years of control/3 of them arbs) and Ben Zobrist ($28M/2 and $14M on luxury tax)?

 

 

We'd save about $14M on the luxury tax- money we could spend on other needs, or we could pay some of Porcello's deal to get them to say yes.

That's not true at all.

It's wrong tho.

I would do this deal if we have six viable starting pitchers signed.

[moonslav59]

No thanks.

 

Is it Zobrist's age and .693 OPS last year?

 

Or, not wanting to lose JBJ and weaken the rotation?

This is fraudulent.

[moonslav59]

the latter

 

My thought was that with the $14M, we could sign a SP'er to take Porcello's place and maybe even improve there.

[moonslav59]

This is fraudulent.

 

Did I make another boo boo?

 

Or, is it just beyond absurd?

[mvp 78]

My thought was that with the $14M, we could sign a SP'er to take Porcello's place and maybe even improve there.

 

Who? Arrietta, Cobb and Darvish will cost more than that.

[Slasher9]

Or, not wanting to lose JBJ

 

personally, i was only willing to trade JBj for Giancarlo.
