You guys just don't know how to read my true feelings over the internet. I clearly believe that the Sox have never won a World Series when signing high priced FA's!
Hell no! That's not sarcasm! When have the Sox ever signed a big money guy long term and won a World Series?!? It's just not happened! They are definitely nothing like that Evil Empire down in the Bronx! All the FA's we have signed were cheap and manageable! The contracts we won multiple World Series never put us in a position where we had to slash payroll!
Speier inferred on twitter that while the Sox aren't shopping Betts, they are listening to any offers that come in.
Maybe they end up dumping betts instead of Price if they can't move Price for what they want?
If they are really that concerned with payroll, they should move Betts and Price and reset.
Scoops has the goods:
@ChrisCotillo
Red Sox traded Sandy Leon to the Guardians, who then non-tendered Kevin Plawecki. Sox then scooped up Plawecki, who will be cheaper than Leon in 2020.
Chess, not checkers.
Done just as much as Carlos Hi Ho Silva and I kick myself everytime I remember that guy and his stupid nickname given to him by a former poster that we all know but can't name.
