The Phantom Pennant?

Why would that affect the trade at all?

Why not non tender if you want to DFA? Makes no sense.

Why would the price fall as we get closer to Spring Training? There'd be less arms available at that point and pitchers always get injured.

If you don't understand that saying "the Red Sox have not created a buyer's market" is completely ignorant as to how markets work, then I'm glad I'm not your real estate agent. You're like the house in my neighborhood that hasn't sold for over a year since they are asking for top dollar even though house that needs a complete remodel on the inside. The biggest problem with Price is his age, injury history and salary (just like in the house example). The Sox will only trade Price if the return makes sense. If the Angels (or whoever) only want to pay a certain amount for Price, the Sox will have to decide if it's worth it. The Sox can't just say "well, we have Price but we don't REALLY want to trade him to you" because it wouldn't increase the value of Price in a trade. If they say they want to trade him it has no affect whatsoever on Price's value in the market. Just like how the owners of the house that isn't selling would have no impact on a sale if they said "we're a really motivated seller and we really want to move." The market is the market. If there are other houses/pitchers on the market, a buy may just find another deal they find more preferable. If there is scarcity (as with Price), the value of Price is higher than if there are a lot of comparable pitchers that are available (and it doesn't seem that there are). The Red Sox have not and can not create a buyer's or seller's market. The only way there'd be a buyer's market for Price is if there was a surplus of arms available. There isn't. The fact that the Sox want to shed payroll has no impact on them being able to move Price or as to what the return for a deal would be.

I agree for the most part.

They arrest a s*** ton of people at Foxboro on game day. Toby Keith's is the biggest reason for DUI's in the state.

Happy Holidays to all the Yankees and Mariners fans.

"But they know that the Red Sox want to trade him so they will just decide to lowball the Red Sox even though they really want Price because they know the Red Sox want to shed salary!"

This sentence is gobbledygook.

FYI, Hill claimed it was just a fanny pack and then he went on to say that he loves cops, but they just overstepped their bounds in this instance.

Price's value is depressed due to his age, injury history and salary. Boston dumping salary is barely a blip on that map.

Now do the last 4 years (which is Price's entire time in BOS).

Sox will probably have to eat some salary, but I'd rather it be like $15M rather than $30M. Until a move is made, it's tough for us to really know what the market is.

Lots of rich white people think that they can do whatever they want. The rest of us normal people would have just brought the damn bag back.

I really have no clue about the site and if there’s value. I just know that people have been referencing it this offseason for some reason. As with everything, I don’t take it too seriously.

Sure thing Annabelle.

Sugary rocket question: So it's projected that the Sox will have to pay about 40% of Price's salary to offload him. Per the SIMULATOR, to trade Price for AAAA scrub, you'd have to pay 60M which is well over 60% of his remaining contract. Does the trade simulator just expect him to be a negative WAR player going foward if that's the case? Or is the -60M remaining value just throwing s*** at the wall? Would it make more sense if his remaining value was -35M instead because that's what it would take to apparently move him for no future value?

Says the Kepler for Price and Casas guy.

BOS gets Kepler MIN gets Betts, Casas, ERod, Price, Beni and Dalbec Works according to the Trade Simulator!

You just melted the trade simulator with that Price/Casas for Kepler trade.

Move Seager to RF.

How does that work on the trade simulator tho??????????????????????

I have this exact ornament on my tree!
