    My only guess is that they saw the opportunity cost of not being able to negotiate an extension in Sept/Oct was greater than the returns they were being offered. Maybe they really thought he'd sign an extension before FA hit? IDK. They did extend Cron prior to FA.

    If the Sox truly believed that they both could be effective long term starters, they both would be put into the rotation. I think one of the stays in the pen just because their peak value is not in the rotation.
  3. mvp 78
    I'm guessing the Garrett Richards and Martin Perez money?
  4. mvp 78
    Why did the Rockies hold onto Jon Gray at the deadline, but not give him a QO after? What a waste.
  5. mvp 78
    Dodgers could get two picks, but will likely sign a QO guy. Maybe Taylor?
  6. mvp 78
    No decision on Syndergaard yet?
  7. mvp 78
    It wouldn't be a one for one trade. It could be something like Castillo and Moustakas (plus eating some salary) for Casas.
  8. mvp 78
    I've seen the play was probably to replace ERod with Matz if ERod didn't sign. He should be much cheaper than the QO.
  9. mvp 78
    Yes, I misworded.
  10. mvp 78
    I could see them trading anyone but Mayer right now and I could talk myself into liking it.

    @SoxProspects Pedro Castellanos went 3-for-4 with two doubles (4) in yesterday's 4-1 Cardenales de Lara loss. The 23-year-old slugger has been on a roll since the start of the Venezuelan Winter League slashing .288/.315/.558 with four home runs over 54 PA. This is a guy who showed lots of BP power, but never really found it in game. 15 HR in 321 games from 2016-2019. He had a career high 13 this year at Portland. The only problem is that he also had a career low in doubles. He's 6'3" and not athletic. Future 1B/DH who was pushed to the OF in 2021 because the doesn't have an organizational path forward at 1B. Current 49th ranked prospect who peaked at #16 prior to 2018 season.

    I don't see Verdugo as a cornerstone. He's much more of a complimentary player. He showed a big spark in 2020, but 2021 was underwhelming IMO.
  13. mvp 78
    ERod's new contract is back loaded so that it's less likely he'll opt out.
  14. mvp 78
    Stroman pitched pretty well in front of the Mets fans this year.
  15. mvp 78
    Thoughts go out to Lugo's family and Theo today.
  16. mvp 78
    A lot of things I've read point towards his comfort level with Miggy and that the two of them are really close.
  17. mvp 78
    Maybe they just want to pay one guy a little more than ERod? I'd rather Stroman instead of ERod even if I'm paying more.
  18. mvp 78
    Yes, my original assertion that it was pick 57 was wrong. It's the pick after Competitive Balance Round B, so pick 70.
  19. mvp 78
    It's not that I "know" my stuff. I just pulled up the CBA and the MLB rule book to see what it said. A lot of the stuff I've seen written in articles is fairly vague and doesn't get into the nuts and bolts about why things are happening. This is because sports journalists are lazy.

    You're going to have to show your work here.

    Per the CBA: With exception of draft selections forfeited by the Club pursuant to Major League Rule 3©(4), all of a Club's draft selections will be counted in determining the Club's second highest selection... What is the exception??? Rule 3©(4): If a Club fails to sign a player selected before the conclusion of the tenth round...
  22. mvp 78
    Here's a link to the CBA: https://d39ba378-ae47-4003-86d3-147e4fa6e51b.filesusr.com/ugd/b0a4c2_95883690627349e0a5203f61b93715b5.pdf
  23. mvp 78
    You are wrong.
  24. mvp 78
    From the CBA: "if a club's second highest selection is a selection exempt from forfeiture, the Club shall forfeit its next highest available selection." No matter what, pick 41 is exempt.

    The Draft-pick compensation is also based on the financial status of the free agent's former team Under the 2017-21 CBA, six clubs will be awarded picks in Round A based on a formula that considers winning percentage and revenue. Those six teams will pick in Round A in 2017, 2019 and 2021. The remaining teams -- estimated to be between six and eight -- will pick in Round B in those years. The groups of teams, which will not change for the duration of the 2017-21 CBA, will switch picking in Round A and B in alternating years based on their initial assignment of round in 2017.
