What is Jeremy Jeffress's asking price? And is Scooter Gennett damaged goods?
-
I just have anecdotal information. I let my season tickets go, because they raised the prices and the secondary market sucks. I got notified that they have not released my tickets into the pool yet and that I can still buy them. Translation: No one has purchased them yet. The guy from Ace who would take a lot of my tickets each season, told me that they are cutting way back on their inventory of Red Sox tickets. Last season was a very bad year for that segment of their business and their outlook for 2020 is not good. They will usually ride out a bad season to keep the relationship going, but they are seeing a bad trend. The offer that he made to me was for all the best games at a substantial loss. I don't mind losing $500 -$1000 to keep the season plan going, but if I start out at with a loss on day 1, I would end up taking a bath as the season progresses.

I am betting that they are not going that well just based on the marketing that I am seeing.
-
That would be a different story.
-
I didn’t know that they were even in the conversation. I thought we were talking about 2012 off season.
-
And go Red Sox!

It would have been the end if they had dumped Strasburg and Harper
-
This is what I am saying. I will be very clear. 1. I think Price is still capable of a 2018 type season. 2. Dumping Betts and Price at this juncture would be the equivalent of the FO throwing in the towel on 2020. I didn’t say the players would fold. They will continue to try, but management will have decided not to go for it. 3. Arguing that it would not be conceding the season if they were to dump Betts and Price is either an attempt to troll or plain stupidity. 4. The FO will not dump Betts and Price. They might dump Price if they have legit worries about his health, but they will not dump Betts and Price before the season starts, because they agree with me on 1 thru 3.

This is just more silliness. Replacing last year’s David Price ? We are hoping that he will be 2018 David Price in 2020. Vargas and other garbage you mentioned don’t even have that capability. Puig for Betts? It couldn’t be any clearer. If we dump Betts and Price at this juncture, it signals a forfeit for 2020.

Those trades (of entirely unproductive or under productive players) were done before the end of 2012, and in the off-season, the Red Sox acquired Uehara, Victorino, Stephen Drew, Dempster and Napoli. Here it is already January. If we dump Betts (approaching his prime years) and Price (underproductive) at this juncture, there is no chance to bring in productive replacement parts, because there is nothing helpful left on the FA market. So, if we dump them from this point on, I will say "never" for 2020.
-
^ This is argumentative idiocy. Dumping Betts and Price effectively ends any possibility of the Red Sox competing for a World Championship. That is clear.
-
I agree. If they move them both, they would be punting on the season.
-
They would trade him to China before they would send him to the Yankees.
-
I don't know, but John Henry should be haunted by his own legacy if they make those trades.
-
Yep

Who is the greatest under-the-radar player in Sox history?
a700hitter replied to Northern Star's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Hard to argue with that one. -
Bloom has gone on record numerous times about the intent to keep Mookie long term. I am not against trading him, but that is not his mindset. I take him at his word.
-
Yes, with cardboard boards.
-
It's an exchange of dollar store garbage.
-
What more could there be on this?
-
Plawecki is an adequate replacement for Leon. I think he has more upside offensive potential than Leon. Hopefully, next up will be some bullpen additions, and a depth move for the rotation.
-
There's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
-
Bloom has been consistent in his statements about not moving Betts. We should take him at his word.

[h=1]I think these acquisitions will be complete flops for the Twins. Hill is targeting the second half of the season for a return. With his history, I would be surprised if he came back before September. I also expect that Bailey will spend more time on the DL than on the active roster. Twins Sign Rich Hill, Homer Bailey[/h]By Jeff Todd | December 31, 2019 at 11:07am CDT The Twins have pulled off a fascinating New Year’s Eve double-strike. The club announced that hurlers Rich Hill and Homer Bailey have each agreed to contracts, as Dan Hayes of The Athletic first reported (Twitter link). There’s a lot to process here, even before learning of the contractual details of this twin bill. More than anything, it’s a highly notable development for a Twins club that entered the offseason promising to add impact arms to their starting staff.

Why not Eric Thames after we Dump Price ?
a700hitter replied to Swiharts Ghost's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
He should retire. He stinks.
