  1. With Betts, it had nothing to do with salary cap space since there was no way they would re-sign him. For Bogey, you're just saying that it's better to allocate his salary dollars to other players. That's a fine option if that's what you want. I specifically want Bogaerts and Devers here through 2027.
  2. Because it's only for one year. It's like trading one year of a 4 fWAR guy for 4 years of a 1 fWAR guy.
  3. Do we know what their price range is?
  4. Are they more likely to extend Xander during 2022 than they were with Correa in 2021?
  5. It was pretty obvious which season I referenced to SINCE I SAID RICHARDS WAS ON THE PAYROLL.
  6. How? Sox in 2021 paid 16M directly to Price. They used the other half to pay Richards and Perez. There is no other amount remaining.
  7. They are worried about losing a stud SS, but are happy to grab a one year rental?
  8. It's cheaper, but Baez is a big downgrade from Bogey. You're paying the same amount, but getting less of a return.
  9. It's the offseason. Last year was 2021. 2020 was two seasons ago.
  10. But it's either pay top dollar, or pay 20M plus give up a valuable piece to obtain Xander for only one season. Sounds like FA may be the better bet in this situation.
  11. Over the past 9 years, Marte has played in 80% of all regular season games. That comes out to about 130 games.
  12. Marte played 61 games in a 60 game season last year. That's how healthy he is.
  13. What second 16M? First half paid to Price. Second half paid to Perez and Richards. If Price was here, they still could have brought in Renfroe and Kiké.
  14. Yes, but also his trade value may be relatively low since there are a lot of FA SS that are available right now.
  15. Matz is projected to have a higher fWAR. Just sign a FA if you need a 3rd or 4th starter.
  16. I'd say they should go with Xander as SS for 2022. If they fall out of it and can't extend him, you can probably still move him at the deadline for a pitcher comparable to Urquidy. Bloom would probably move him for prospects though.
  17. The things I do like about him: low bb% throws mostly down in the zone decent movement on his FB What I really, really, really don't like about him: he just can't stay on the field limited ceiling of a third starter, but most likely a 4th starter
  18. There should be. I guess all babies are named Liam these days. Anyways, here's Wonderwall.
  19. Would last year's team have been better if they had Price instead of Richards and Perez?
  20. Did the Dodgers win a WS before they signed Betts? Are the Nats a better team now that they don't have to pay Scherzer? Will the Astros be a better team if Correa signs elsewhere? Of the top 5 payrolls, 4 at least made the WC game this year. Is that correlation?
  21. It's the offseason. The only thing to talk about is what Bloom is going to do.
  22. The cornerstone of this franchise right now is Xander and Raffy. Bloom needs to work all offseason to keep them together for 6 more years.
  23. Because they are trying to get more money out of Vegas.
  24. @SoxProspects Victor Santos pitched 1.2 shutout innings in yesterday's Leones del Escogido 3-2 win. The 21-year-old righty is 2-0 with a 2.84 ERA and nine strikeouts over 6.1 IP so far.
