    @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://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.
  11. mvp 78
    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.

    Martinez doesn't have blue eyes. He'll be fine.
  15. mvp 78
    I think so too. The numbers Boras throws out there are just starting points. He doesn't think that is what his client will eventually get paid.
  16. mvp 78
    But he'll be ready to be the 4th OF in April?
  17. mvp 78
    Why didn't they use him when rosters expanded in September?!?!?!?!? I'll never understand that.
  18. mvp 78
    Allergic to the sun?

    "I don't want to trade all our young players away, but if the trade makes sense, we'll do it." That sounds like a guy seething with desperation!
  20. mvp 78
    Due to unfair labor practices that vastly underpaid employees.
  21. mvp 78
    I think they were looking at Owens to see if he'd throw well in the fall/winter. He's been s*****. They should cut bait. Even if he could locate (which he can't) he's probably no better than a 4th starter.
  22. mvp 78
    Obviously, if this offseason is a success, it has to be thanks to Vlad Dracul, not to Desperate Dave!

    I know some people want Papi to be a coach, I think "ambassador for new free agents to come to Boston" would be Papi's best role in this org.
  24. mvp 78
    Or it means, I'm only going to a team I want to play for because I'm fine hanging out in nice sunny South Beach for the remainder of my contract if I have to.

    A baseball source said yesterday that he’s been told Stanton will not accept a trade to either the Red Sox or the Cardinals, another team linked early and often in trade rumors. http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/red_sox/2017/11/jennings_dont_bet_on_red_sox_trading_for_giancarlo_stanton
