    Arb projections: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2018/10/mlb-arbitration-salaries-2019.html Red Sox (13) Mookie Betts (4.070) – $18.7MM Xander Bogaerts (5.042) – $11.9MM Jackie Bradley Jr. (4.150) – $7.9MM Eduardo Rodriguez (3.130) – $4.8MM Brock Holt (5.052) – $3.4MM Tyler Thornburg (5.057) – $2.3MM Sandy Leon (4.149) – $2.3MM Matt Barnes (3.110) – $1.5MM Brandon Workman (4.051) – $1.4MM Steven Wright (4.087) – $1.4MM Heath Hembree (3.106) – $1.2MM Carson Smith (4.028) – $1.1MM Blake Swihart (2.164) – $1.1MM 8M/yr for JBJ seems market value to me. Barnes' amount seems low, but what do I know?

    The last three five-game World Series matchups have resulted in an average rating of 8.5, and this year arrived at basically the same result. There is probably a lot MLB can do to better promote the game of baseball, but fans ultimately tune in for compelling narratives and close games from start to finish. This season lacked both, and the ratings suffered.
  4. mvp 78
    The numbers have, on average, been in decline for three decades. On the other, the ratings appear to have stabilized over the past decade or so, with the obvious exceptions of 2016 and 2017 — seasons which featured (a) two clubs attempting to break long droughts and then ( seven of the most exciting games in World Series history, respectively. If there is any disappointment over this year’s ratings, it’s probably due to the high expectations created by the previous two years. For the most part, the World Series has followed general viewing trends. As more options for consumers have emerged, it has become more difficult for any kind of programming to attract a large audience. There have been exceptions: the 1991 World Series between Atlanta and Minnesota, a dramatic post-9/11 Yankees-D-backs event, and the Cubs curse-breaking spectacle. But the relationship between the TV’s No. 1 show and the World Series has been strong, producing an r-squared of .83 during this time period.

    And again and again and again...

    He's learning to pitch with diminished stuff. He'll be good for the next 4 years if his arm doesn't fall off.
  8. mvp 78
    Anyone who signs Charlie Morton may live to regret it. I think he's a ticking time bomb as he fell apart at year end. I also wouldn't be a fan of Familia pitching for the Sox. I'd rather they give the role to Barnes and sign some cheaper bullpen arms to fill out the roster if they need to.

    I don't want to be a Devil Rays fan.

    I like Devers' list better. Similar Batters through 21 Harlond Clift (954.9) Ron Santo (952.6) * Juan Gonzalez (947.5) Ken Keltner (940.6) Cal Ripken Jr. (940.5) * Willie Mays (940.0) * Jose Canseco (937.5) Larry Parrish (936.5) Bill Dahlen (933.1) Dick Kokos (928.8)
  11. mvp 78
    Devers is 6 years younger. I'd keep him unless it was a one for one deal. Then I'd have to think about it. The Marlins price tag is just too high.
  12. mvp 78
    Similar Batters through 27 Miguel Montero (952.8) Sammy White (948.6) Terry Kennedy (944.5) A.J. Pierzynski (944.0) Jonathan Lucroy (941.3) Victor Martinez (938.8) Rich Gedman (937.8) Earl Battey (936.4) Tony Pena (934.4) Mike Lieberthal (929.5) Pass...

    Vlad Dracul. Don't let him anywhere near the mic.
  14. mvp 78
    Offensive catcher numbers can tank very quickly. Pass.
  15. mvp 78
    This sounds like a Thunder post to me.
  16. mvp 78
    Get f***ed Joe Buck.
  17. mvp 78
    Moreland was a good deal just based on his defense.
  18. mvp 78
    Betts is perfect for RF now. He can transition back to 2b in his mid 30's.
  19. mvp 78
    Chavis is weird as he has a reverse split against LHP. He's a RHB that has generally had better success against RHP. That doesn't play well in a platoon. I think he's a guy that needs to really add to his defensive versatility.
  20. mvp 78
    Eo is gonna get paid. Pearce could be cheap.
  21. mvp 78
    Would be nice if people found the full quotes first too. “Any time it got to September, playoffs—I hold all the cards now, and that feels so good,” he said. “That feels so good. I can’t tell you how good it feels to hold that trump card. You guys have had it for a long time, you’ve played that card extremely well, but you don’t have it anymore.”
  22. mvp 78
    His injury history extends prior to the roid stuff.
  23. mvp 78
    @ByChrisMason No surprise here: The Red Sox have exercised Chris Sale’s 2019 option.
  24. mvp 78
    Chavis seems very injury prone. Maybe he'll be trade bait. I can't see Travis making the roster next year.
  25. mvp 78
    We'll hear: wait til next year. "We're going to sign Goldschmidt, Arenado and JD Martinez!"
