    Well, nobody leaked that they offered $300/10 to him until now. Nobody has leaked about the coaching hire. Seems like this is the new normal. Rather than running to Henry's paper, they are just handling their business in house.

    Limits? They've year in and year out been towards the top of payroll spending?

    According to fangraphs, he's already been worth about $300M in the previous 6 years. It's not far fetched to think he can replicate that for the next 6. Then you just have to decide what he'll be worth for the remaining 4-6 years. His glove will always play. He takes care of himself. Even if you factor that his production shrinks to a 1/3 over the final half of the contract (age 34 - 40), he'd be worth about $100M for 6 years. That's basically $400M for 12 years in fangraphs value. You're earning a lot of value on the contract in the first half. You can't expect to hose the player for the last half. He's already been hosed enough. Through 2020, he'll only be paid $60M for his whole career. According to fangraphs, he should be worth almost $350M through 2020. Why does he have to eat that loss of approx $250M in excess value he's provided to the Sox? Why is it that only the owners can get ahead? Mookie is the face of the franchise. He's a future HOF. You pay him and build around him.

    Maybe Bloom has scouted the Sox farm and doesn't like what he sees? Maybe he thinks certain players can pass through waivers? Who knows. If they are playing a modified Rays ball right now, I have to give him a season or two before I freak out about it. At the end of the day, trading Lakins for a PTBNL has little to no impact on the club.

    Until it prices out the fans, the price of contracts will keep going up. There has not been a market correction since.

    None of these contracts could break Henry's bank account. Won't someone think of the billionaires?!?!?!?
  7. mvp 78
    Would he be the highest paid player? Nope. Would his contract seem to be market value for the type of player he is? Yup. Mookie is the face of the franchise. A young, athletic, personable top 5 player in the game is what you need to build around. Letting him go is a bad decision IMO.

    The Rays have always done a good job not getting hosed on their prospects. I'm going to trust Bloom on this one. It's not like we have a stocked farm system and losing prospects 30 and beyond would hurt much.

    Also, 10 poll options are clearly too many.
  10. mvp 78
    That Manny contract was ridiculous! They could never win with that on the books!

    So Weber is basically Reyes, but with MLB experience then? I believe Poyner cleared waivers.
  12. mvp 78
    Maybe Reyes has a distracting nervous tick that nobody would like?
  13. mvp 78
    Hornballs.
  14. mvp 78
    How do you guys keep track of this nonsense?
  15. mvp 78
    And Cody Ross was the one on the s***** team?
  16. mvp 78
    Oh s***. They're different people?
  17. mvp 78
    2.5M is well worth it to have Mitch.
  18. mvp 78
    One of us. One of us. One of us.

    Weber can actually pitch in the majors. Scouts have stated that Reyes stuff is like purely based on location and that he'd get whacked around in MLB. His BB% has double since getting out of A ball. 2019 was a step back for all of his numbers. I'm not sure he could provide anything for BOS over the next few years. Also, it's clear that Bloom values Webber. Not sure why it upsets everyone.
  20. mvp 78
    LOL at the greed line.
  21. mvp 78
    Joe Rogan.
  22. mvp 78
    He had that one WS HR.
  23. mvp 78
    12/420
  24. mvp 78
    Reyes is a nobody.

    Free-agent 1B Mitch Moreland signs one-year, $3M deal with #RedSox, source tells The Athletic. Salary of $2.5M in 2020 with $3M club option or $500,000K buyout for ‘21.
