  1. 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!
  2. The Red Sox are known for winning multiple World Series titles without ever committing to long term high dollar contracts!
  3. Why not? It's not like we haven't had bridge years before.
  4. What was Brett Myer’s suspension?
  5. 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.
  6. I just can't believe he really thought that and gets paid to think that.
  7. Holy s***. I'm dying about that "Chess, not checkers" line. OMG>......................................
  8. 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.
  9. Chris Cotillo has ALL THE SCOOPS. Scoops Cotillo! Nose to the grindstone that guy.
  10. 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.
  11. Sam Travis DFA'd.
  12. "That's just buzzarding." - Bellhorn
  13. If you're trading Sale, you don't eat any of the contract.
  14. Anger rising...
  15. Thank you for trolling the Sox fans who already hate Bloom after 2 months...
  16. Not a great plan.
  17. 12up.com? You could have just posted the tweet. Got a drug test (3rd time this off season) this morning and gave a partial sample (not enough pee). Now I got CDT sitting NEXT to me on the couch watching Sunday Countdown... I don’t even wanna watch football anymore! Get out of my house...
  18. Not officially. Just Pearce, Kinsler, CC, McCann, Freese, Olt, Saunders. If Shaw is due for a comeback, why not Duda!
  19. They are concerned about it. I believe it's just not the end of the world if they don't get under this year. You could also say "if the Red Sox were concerned about the CBT penalties the Sox should not have signed Jose Peraza and Martin Pérez this offseason."
  20. If they don't get under this year, it just means they definitely won't re-sign Betts next year and will get under then.
  21. It doesn't affect bargaining at all. If someone is on the trading block, there's obviously some reason the team wants to move him (salary, performance, budget, player in waiting, etc.). The Sox's goal to get under a payroll tax has nothing to do with them not being able to move Price. There just isn't a great market for an older pitcher with injury history and a huge contract. If Price had less years remaining, he'd be gone by now. Teams are just worried about Price sucking up payroll and not even being on the field.
