When Robles shows up for work it's as a AAAA guy.
-
Sox aren't "paying" anything if you read the post above or look at Cots. There is just a difference between the Hosmer's luxury tax liability and his payroll liability.
-
If a team is a million miles away from the luxury tax cap and are only actually paying him the veteran's minimum, why would they care about the luxury tax calculation? I'm sure there are a few teams that would take on Hosmer.
-
Do we still retain the option for 2023?
-
If they aren't picking up Kiermaier, he'd look in CF in BOS if they are going to move Kiké to SS.
-
They project the Rays to have 42M in ARB payroll when they only had 51M in payroll in 2022. Wonder if they will end up nontendering/trading guys like Ji-Man Choi and Yarborough.
-
Yaz 2 and Logan Webb have about the same service time, but Webb is projected to have a smaller arb figure. If they both went to FA today, Webb's contract would dwarf Yaz 2's.
-
Do the Dodgers just try dealing Bellinger? He's a really weird case. Would someone take a risk on him at that arb figure?
-
Brewers may nontender Renfroe. That $11M is pretty high for him! Brewers may want to sell on his career high 2.5 fWAR season in 2022!!!
-
MLBTR is project the following ARB salaries for 2023: Devers 16.9 Dugie 6.9 Pivetta 5.9
-
Henry just called and the 4.5AAV is going to bust the luxury tax. El Cheapo won't let us do it this year, sorry.
-
All of Semien's seasons have had SLG between 372 and 435 except for 2019 and 2021 which were 522 and 538. Seem like outliers to me?
-
Yes, Albies should retire very well, but could have made much much more money if he waited.
-
Longoria signed for 6/17.5, but MLB team payrolls increased 50% from 2008 to 2022, so a similar contract would be 6/27. Y1: 2 Y2: 2 Y3: 3 Y4: 5 Y5: 7 Y6: 8
-
For Casas? No. His arb numbers will be awfully small at 1b. https://www.spotrac.com/spots/2022-mlb-arbitration-filings-1443/ He doesn't play a premium defensive position. ATL extensions: Acuna 8/100 Albies 7/35 Strider 6/75 Riley 10/212 Harris 8/72 Your extension $$$ is much smaller than anything the Braves put out there. I think it's something the Sox would want to sign after 2023, not prior to. Albies was signed after putting up 1.5 fWAR in half a season and it's now considered an insultingly bad contract.
-
Nimmo will probably be more than $10M. I think they'll spend less than $10M on DH if anything at all. I think they re-sign Hill and maybe sign one other starter. I don't see them getting an ace though.
-
It's luxury tax calculation vs payroll tax calculation. I believe his cost against the luxury tax is higher the last 3 years of his deal than his actual salary which decreases to $13M. I think it means they likely just trade him at some point.
-
Sox tried exploiting the int'l rules during Ben's tenure and got dinged for it.
-
I'd pay him that today.
-
2018: 2.9 (which was a career high at the time at age 27!) 2020: 0.2 Yes, he had two monster seasons in 19 and 21. Surprise surprise, his SLG is 100 points less this year than last.
-
The rules on international signings and luxury tax are much more strict than what they were back then. It was easier to buy a better farm system then than it is nowadays.
-
Round the clock coverage of Manny Ramirez on that channel.
-
They played right into Keith Law's trap.
-
I agree. What was the "lowball" offer that everyone is whining about?
-
That mission statement in itself is a contradiction, or at least such a tight rope to walk that is near impossible to do year in and year out.
