More of a DFA option than a depth option at this point.

Can we stick to the baseball talk and leave the political nonsense out of here? Otherwise, I will drive to our overlord's house and wrest control of this site from his capitalist hands to install a complete socialist Talksox site where everyone shares post totals and we can all enjoy our misery equally.

They don’t want less tho. They want much more. That’s why I want JD instead.
-
Not true at all. A simple check at former mvps list a few players that were paid less than Pedroia at contract signing time (Rollins among others). Let’s just make s*** up tho!

He was the 2nd highest paid 2b when the ink dried.

It wasn’t under market when he it was signed.

"I'm sick of the negativity," Stanton admitted. "Anything positive I've done, there's still negativity. I'm doing this … but the owner’s doing that. I'm doing this, but the team's doing that." https://www.thescore.com/news/1352579 Any worry that he won't be able to deal with the Boston market?

I think HanRam is gone sooner or later. It's about time Stanton learned to play 1B. It would only help him in FA when he opts out in a few years. I think he doesn't want the DH stink on him.

Giancarlo Stanton put on a show for the ages Monday night in San Diego, sending a record 61 baseballs over the fence at Petco Park to win the 2016 MLB Home Run Derby. The Miami Marlins outfielder bashed 24 homers in a quarterfinal rout of Robinson Cano, 17 in the semis to knock off Mark Trumbo (who more than held his own and was the only player to hit a ball off the left field video board) and another 20 in the finals to eliminate defending champ Todd Frazier. Stanton also had the eight longest home runs of the evening and 20 of the longest 21. It was an awe-inspiring performance to say the least, and even Boston Red Sox slugger David Ortiz, a former Derby champ himself, couldn’t believe what he was watching. “What you saw right there,” Ortiz said while being interview by ESPN’s broadcast team during the competition, “that ain’t human.” The retiring Red Sox star also coined a new nickname for Stanton: “the Human Avatar.”

I'd prefer if they just handed Stanton a 1B mitt.

If they trade Beni for Stanton, Stanton easily fits into LF. If they trade JBJ for Stanton, does Beni get moved to CF? Beni to RF and Mookie to CF?

@GlobeChadFinn Jeter is going to trade Stanton to the Yankees, isn't he? http://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/redsox/2017/11/15/whiffs-real-possibility-red-sox-chase-free-agent-sluggers/uwuIbxQzq3sIKo31jPnW5H/story.html … via @BostonGlobe If this happens, Thunder should be permanently banned from making gamethreads due to his Jeter fandom.

The gyroball was too good to pass up.
-
There's nothing he could have done about it!!! It's Sale's fault for not being able to throw 300 innings.

@NBC10_Joe A source tells me that the #RedSox are still very much in play for Giancarlo Stanton. In fact the only reason that he was not hot on Boston right away is because of the cold weather. His top choice is the Dodgers, then the Giants after that if they can put together a contender. Someone let him know that average gametime temps are colder in SF than BOS!
-
Why would you average it out? It's not like the Sox can give JD Martinez a contract from 2006. Average player salary was 65% higher in 2015 than in 2005.

Everyone makes everything sound easier than it actually is.

http://www.fangraphs.com/statsd.aspx?playerid=3882&position=OF&type=&gds=2017-09-04&gde=2017-10-01&season= They blew that call for sure.

http://boston.locals.baseballprospectus.com/2017/11/15/the-stanton-conundrum/ Any player can be dealt. We’ve seen it before with huge contracts trading hands in deals that, before their consummation, would have been thought impossible to pull off. So even though this seems daunting, it could absolutely happen. And Stanton is an amazing player who would look fantastic in the middle of the Red Sox batting order. So the Red Sox should explore things with the Marlins. And they will. But in the end, wouldn’t it be easier to skip all the above and give J.D. Martinez $175 million, check off that box, and move on with your offseason?
-
He made $15M+ in his last 3 seasons.

Why wasn't he ready on Sept. 1 though?

What Japanese kid?

When Price met with Andrews and Neal ElAttrache on Thursday, they both expressed shock at the relatively strong state of the elbow. "[Andrews and ElAttrache] expected it to be a lot worse than what it was," Price said. "That was both of them. They said it multiple times; we expected this to be a lot worse than what it really is.” Price said that the two experts' explanation for the improvement was simply that his elbow is special. “They were like, ‘Your elbow is extremely unique. It’s found a way to kind of heal itself,'" Price said. "It’s pretty neat, bionic elbow,” Perhaps it is that bionic elbow that allowed Price to lead baseball in innings pitched last year. It is such a great elbow. Bigly elbow.
