Stanton or Votto

[Kimmi]

Boras will listen to every offer.

 

But JD's stated to desire to not DH might put the Sox lower on his list or it might mean the Sox need to pay more money to sign him. ..

 

The Sox likely will have to pay more, but IMO, they will do what is necessary. It's probably going to be a crazy contract either way, what's another few million? LOL

to overpay for JD after not getting Stanton on a reasonable contract (while also allowing him to go to the EE) is f***ed up. Fire DD. not joking.

Who says JD will be overpaid? You're already ripping him for a deal he hasn't made yet?

@PeteAbe

 

Boras defended JD Martinez as a RF, saying metrics are skewed by Betts and Heyward. But also said Martinez would adapt to a team that wanted him to DH.

Perhaps J.D, Martinez has told Scott Boras that he does not want to come to Boston because, among other reasons, the Red Sox outfield is filled with Mookie Betts, Jackie Bradley Jr. and Andrew Benintendi.

 

Boras may keep the Red Sox in the loop only to drive up the price for other suitors. For all we know Boras can accurately tell other teams that Martinez has an offer of X years and X dollars from other club.

 

Of course, this is mere speculation.

 

Well duh.
