    Ok.
  2. mvp 78
    I believe bonus payments DO get added to the CBT.
  3. mvp 78
    Don't ask stupid f***ing questions then.
  4. mvp 78
    Maybe I'm wrong, but we'll see. It probably depends on the timing of the calculation of the CBT at the end of the year and when JT can buy out.
  5. mvp 78
    You think it'll retroactively go towards 2023 even through the 2023 CBT has already been calculated?
  6. mvp 78
    It's a 2 year deal. JT can "buy out" the second year of the deal by not taking 6.7M from the SOX, but still getting the other 6.7. Yes, the wording isn't great.
  7. mvp 78
    10.85M (CBT) - 8.3M (salary) = 2.55M prorated buyout 2023 6.7M (buyout) - 2.55 (proration) = 4.15 CBT if JT buys out. If he opts in: 10.85M CBT hit ((8.3+13.4)/2).
  8. mvp 78
    Until they win again and some people get their hopes up for some reason. It's over! There's no Morgan Magic. There's no Rocktober.
  9. mvp 78
    The lux tax for next season would be 4.15M as he has already assumed a portion of the buy out during 2023 towards the CBT.
  10. mvp 78
    It's an opt out. He opts out and gets paid 6.7M. That's the contract. That's why.
  11. mvp 78
    It's a one game swing in the standings. Sox either go up by one or down by one.
  12. mvp 78
    I would say that the 217 BABIP is awfully low and the 4.91 BB/9 is still a little too high. He has had some good results, but we'll have to see how he pitches next year. His numbers in the first half in Greenville weren't all that great. The talent is there, but he has to put it all together.
  13. mvp 78
    ERA, really?
  14. mvp 78
    @redsoxpayroll In the offseason, Justin Turner signed a 1yr/$8.3MM contract for 2023 plus a $13.4MM player option for 2024. The option comes with a $6.7MM buyout. This means that once the option comes due in early November after the World Series, he'll have what seems to be an easy decision to make. If he declines the option and makes $6.7MM immediately, all he needs to do is find a 1yr/$6.7MM deal in free agency to beat the total option value for 2024. With 1.8 WAR and 123 wRC+, that would be a no-brainer for any team.
  15. mvp 78
    Ok, how was it "an" outlier if he performed even better two seasons prior?
  16. mvp 78
    No such thing as a two game swing, so I can see how your scenario is clearly fantasy. Thank you for clearing that up for me.
  17. mvp 78
    Wow.
  18. mvp 78
    Not by a team without a reliable rotation and horrible defense.
  19. mvp 78
    Depends.
  20. mvp 78
    Casas may get better. Duvall is a decent corner OF, but a horrible CF. Yoshida is a DH.
  21. mvp 78
    It would have been his first choice with more $$$. That's the point.
  22. mvp 78
    Red Sox have NO chance. 23 games to go and 5 behind is insurmountable for this team. They would need to go 18-5 or better to make it close. It's not going to happen.
  23. mvp 78
    Rich Hill 2023: 0.6 fWAR
  24. mvp 78
    C'mon, Nate's best year was 2021 when he had 5.7 fWAR. You can't say this year was THE outlier.
  25. mvp 78
    The problem definitely resides in the rotation first and foremost. The worst two guys in your bullpen aren't going to tank your season.
