    To an extent. If team's believed in his second half performance over his first, he would have gotten a 9 figure guarantee. If he truly is a 3.5 FIP player with 10+K's per 9 and a low BB rate, then he's a $20-$25 mil AAV guy.

    Eovaldi Sale Pivetta ??Houck?? ??Whitlock?? With the back two slots being currently slotted for two guys who spent most of their big league time in the pen in 2021, it makes one wonder which veteran starter the sox will bring in. I highly, highly, highly doubt the sox roll into ST without another veteran or two in the rotation

    The way the CBA is currently written (maybe it will change), if a team signs a QO offered player, they give up their second highest draft pick. That Fabian pick will be in play if the sox sign a QO offered guy. It isnt their second rounder that'll go

    This was a good deal for Eddy. It is hard for a pitcher to bet on themselves. All it takes is one poorly thrown pitch and it's over. He gets the long term guarantee that will make him rich beyond his wildest dreams while also giving him the flexibility to jump back on the market at 30 should he shake off the covid rust the next two years. He also goes to a park that is historically one of the stingiest for HRs. I think this will end up being a 2 year deal, ultimately

    This is a loss more for potential than anything else. Erod’s 19 was really good. 2020 was wrecked by covid and his first half of 21 was sucky due to his lost conditioning. This is a good signing for Detroit who has a young rotation that desperately needed a leader

    Stanton is not our issue. He and Judge are two guys to build around. Stanton, if anything, has become a rock of consistency these past two seasons. Yanks altered the off-season training programs of Stanton and Judge and it paid off. If only they did the same for every other injured Yankee…

    Hicks has spent 9 seasons in the bigs. He’s had a 123 game season and a 137 game season and zero other seasons over 100. He’s injury prone. There’s no way around it. When he’s on the field, he’s useful. Goal here is the ensure he makes the whole year and platooning him with Gallo helps that effort. He kills lefties. Gallo hits righties. Makes sense ultimately and keeps Hicks from blowing out another soft tissue

    I honestly think Bogey will get an extension offer and if he declines it, he will be dealt. Letting Bogey reach FA is f***ing stupid. Someone will force the sox to either pay more than they want to or they'll convince him to walk. You don't let the deal expire unless you know you can keep him

    I don't think we will find a taker for him, so he becomes our new 4th OFer. Maybe that'll keep him healthy. Hicks, when healthy, is useful, but he is never healthy. Typically high OBP and sub 20% K rate. Never been a good BABIP guy, which is weird. And he absolutely demolishes lefties. If the Yanks cannot find a good deal for Gallo, he becomes Gallo's platoon mate. We need a CFer who can play 140-150 games. Marte makes me nervous as he is older and has injury issues of his own. The rest of the market sucks.
  10. jacksonianmarch
    He can’t stay healthy on a team that can’t stay healthy. His production is irrelevant.
  11. jacksonianmarch
    Well, Cashman just came out and said we don't have a CFer. I am sure Hicks' camp loved that, but he is right. Yanks like trading with Pitt and Reynolds makes a lot of sense, although it will cost us a lot
  12. jacksonianmarch
    Yanks have the highest ticket prices and the absolute highest revenue. As far as salary to revenue, they’re dead last. So yes, they’re cheap. Yankees MO for 100 years has been to use their considerable resources to stack the deck per se. Since revenue sharing and Lux tax started, though, they’ve played the part of a large market team, yet haven’t played the role of THE large market team. It’s time they take up that mantle again
  13. jacksonianmarch
    They lost a lot of fans in 21. They need to show commitment to keep them back

    ERod's peripherals all point to 2021 being his best season, interestingly enough.
  15. jacksonianmarch
    ERod is one of the few players I expect to strongly consider the QO. I think he could get himself a nice 4-5 year deal on the open market, but not at the AAV he could demand if he was healthy. If he came back to Boston, posted a 190IP, 3.50ERA season, he will put himself in a great position to cross $20 mil AAV on the open market for a long, long time
  16. jacksonianmarch
    The new CBA will be hammered out by March 1. Pitchers and catchers will be a bit delayed, but should start the season on time. I do think FA is going to be tremendously delayed with most deals not getting done until ST aside from the very top of the FA pool for the richest of teams.
  17. jacksonianmarch
    A's pitchers VERY rarely produce after being dealt. I do not think Manaea is that good. Montas' highest IP prior to 21 was 96. He crossed 185 innings in 21. Big concern there. Bassitt is more of a control guy who benefits from being in Oakland in terms of low HR rate. I really like Castillo, but I think the Reds will ask for the moon for him as they should.

    Lots of chatter about Verlander to the Yanks. Makes all the sense in the world. Short term money. Would come in as a great 1-2 punch with Cole and the rotation is deep enough to survive without him if Father Time catches him. Everyone is predicting Seager to the Yanks. In other news, water is wet. I am absolutely intrigued by who gets moved. We have a large glut of arb players coming off injury plagued or down years and not enough spaces for them all. Cashman is a king of trading off big league talent in the offseason. Every pundit is picking the Yanks to go absolutely apeshit this deadline. I certainly hope so, but with Hal f***wad running things, my bet is he finds a way to make the team cheap where it matters the most.

    Also love the Donny Sands move. Kid gets drafted out of HS as a 3b yet the Yanks has the idea of moving him to catcher. Over the last 6 years they mold him into a tremendous defensive catcher and finally this last year, the bat matured. Kid makes contact, hits for power and took some walks this year to go along with extraordinary arm and catching skills. He may make Higgy obsolete or may be the pairing with Higgy after we move on from f***head behind the dish

    Britton is out for the season
  21. jacksonianmarch
    You gotta offer him one. If he stays, you get a prime ERod with a full off-season and maybe he continues his post ASB dominance. If he walks, you collect the pick
  22. jacksonianmarch
    I think JD is gone, TBTH.
  23. jacksonianmarch
    Teams have started to Rule V and stash guys on their active roster. Prior years, you'd only worry about guys who were ready, but now you need to protect talent over proximity
  24. jacksonianmarch
    There’s going to be a major overhaul of these players. Cashman makes his hay trading.
