    I don't know if moon is talking about INT'L money, I'm talking about MLB Draft money.
  2. mvp 78
    Why are you trying to overpay for Rojas?
  3. mvp 78
    Well as long as they are either going to extend him or trade him, I'm fine with it. They can't do what they did with Xander in 2022.
  4. mvp 78
    He's not even a top 60 prospect in the system. There's no reason to mention him.
  5. mvp 78
    It's not "bonus money" but you get a bigger pool of money based on how many picks you have and where they are in the draft.
  6. mvp 78
    He can only play 2B (barely), not SS. Field: Fringy hands and range. Not a natural fielder. Can make routine plays but tends to lack fluidity and makes things more difficult than they need to be. Has primarily played second and third base in his career, but in 2022 began to see some time in left field and first base in an attempt to find him a long-term defensive home. Potential below-average defender regardless of where he ends up.

    Lots of people on here were on board with COMPETING! Should have traded everything not nailed down last offseason.
  8. mvp 78
    Dawson and Carter OR Walker, Grissom, DeShields?
  9. mvp 78
    Yup. Bloom claimed "(Devers) is at the center of everything we are trying to do." Time will tell if that's the case.
  10. mvp 78
    It think it's more likely than not that he's going to SS and I agree that it's the wrong decision.
  11. mvp 78
    Agree. Devers glove just hasn't been consistent enough. Still worth whatever $$$ someone will through at him.
  12. mvp 78
    Not a future HOFer. Top 10 MVP vote finishes: 2X. Top 10 most WAR finishes: 0X.
  13. mvp 78
    C'mon now. Buchholz was injured napping with his baby. Mundane injuries are the name of the game. They take down the skinny guys all the time.

    Last year SP: BOS 8.6 fWAR TEX 5.8 fWAR FanGraphs projects: Heaney 2.5 DeGrom 5.5 Eovaldi 2.3 Perez 1.8 Gray 2.5 Total 14.6 Sale 2.9 Bello 1.5 (half year) Whitlock 1.9 Pivetta 1.4 Kluber 1.6 Paxton 1.3 Total 10.6 fWAR Clearly, TEX needed to spend to fix their rotation. We'll see if the money was spent well.
  15. mvp 78
    Grady Sizemore?
  16. mvp 78
    In terms of Sale's contract: 2025 Vesting Option ($5M deferred to 2040) vests with a Top 10 finish in 2024 Cy Young + healthy 2025 Option Escalator (2023, 2024 Cy Young) $2.5M for 1st $1.5M for 2nd or 3rd $1M for 4th or 5th $500,000 for 6th-10th His luxury tax salary for 2025 is currently listed as 29M.
  17. mvp 78
    Sale and Paxton are due for late career bounceback seasons!
  18. mvp 78
    With Pivetta's ARB projection, the Sox are at about 51M for their rotation, which probably includes Bello instead of Paxton anyway. The Rangers are at 100M. Is it twice as good as the Sox rotation?
  19. mvp 78
    And if they had signed JBJ to an Ozzie Albies deal after 2016, we still wouldn't have regretted it.
  20. mvp 78
    Agree. They need to start locking up Bello, Casas and anyone else that their scouting has determined will be a long time contributor. Waiting until arb raise time is a bad decision. It should be done after their first or second full MLB season. They still should extend Devers though.
  21. mvp 78
    The frustration most people feel is that the roster still doesn't feel filled. What is the solution at SS? What is the solution at RF? Will the SP hold up? Will they extend Devers? People generally had little confidence in Bloom to begin with so when the bottom predictably fell out at the end of the winter meetings, everyone was ready to pounce.
  22. mvp 78
    Timeline for future potential starters: Mata - ready now, but better suited for bullpen role IMO Walter - mid-2023 if healthy Murphy - mid-2023 if he can continue to get LHB out Drohan - 2024, swingman or relief profile Wikelman - 2025 Perales - 2025 Uberstine - 2025, swingman or relief profile ERC - 2026 Paez - 2026 Aside from Mata, the remaining impact arms don't show up until 2025/2026. The only way to get one sooner would be through trade.
  23. mvp 78
    Why reset? Didn't they already reset in 2020 and 2021?
  24. mvp 78
    Sure it might be good. It's also likely to see Heaney ineffective and/or injured. Perez should return to his mediocre past. Eovaldi will pitch about 130 innings. Gray was whatever last year and also struggles to pitch 150 innings. DeGrom could bring a CY? Would that be enough to get to the playoffs?
  25. mvp 78
    If they had extended Benintendi it would have probably been at pretty reasonable dollars. As long as the prospect doesn't completely bust, it's generally worth the risk. Beni would have been fine to extend. With JBJ, we had already seen a VERY volatile bat. Even though he had a great 2016, he was a rollercoaster afterwards (and it wasn't a much better picture before). The 850 OPS for JBJ occurred exactly NEVER. He never had a season where he OPS'd 840.
