Tax difference between SP and Spotrac is only 6M and it seems to be in player benefits/MiLB pay. My guess it that the same assumptions carry over to TOR payroll tax. What would push them over would be a considerable extension to Crochet that begins this season. The Devers extension began in the following season. If they extend one of Campbell or Anthony, I think that still leaves them behind TOR in the absence of other moves. If they extend both of them, it would likely push them over. They are edging closer to the 2nd CBT and we don't know if they have an appetite to go over that. THEY SHOULD since they have a lot of payroll coming off the books next offseason (50M+).

I think they all use different assumptions about player benefits though. If you used the SoxProspects assumptions on player benefits for TOR, their number probably goes up too.

I could see him still getting 3/51 in a few years. Would he opt out after this year? Maybe if he has a big year in '25 and believe the lack of a QO will give him a really good deal.

SP projected 36M. -
They are 15-20M lower than TOR according to Spotrac. I'd check Cots, but it doesn't want to load for me.

I need to see it in ST before I can predict postseason stuff. I can up my regular season total to 88 wins though.

A Realistic View of the 2025 Red Sox: Part I
mvp 78 replied to moonslav59's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Crochet said yesterday that he's leaning towards just pitching this whole season and seeing how it goes. Sox are going to have to really knock him over with an offer. -
All along I've held onto "3 years, 3B only" for Bregman. I'm going to have to hold my nose on him at 2B.
-
If they don't win a WC birth this season, it's a clear failure now.
-
Are the Sox adding more guys we don't know about?
-
7th in CBT according to Spotrac.
-
We already know he'll have a really gad stretch at some point. Pulling him off position midseason will only create unnecessary drama IMO. Just pull the bandaid now.
-
I'm not a huge Bregman guy, but I'm not shocked by the sticker price. It's fine. There are opt outs and it's short term.
-
I'd rather they give a player insane AAV's over a short deal than go long on an older player.
-
It's a terrible plan, but at least it's a short term one. I'd still rather they move Devers off 3B, install Bregman there and add Campbell at 2B. If Story goes down, you can call up Mayer.
-
They are over the first CBT. https://soxprospects.com/payroll.htm
-
3 years is great. We’ll see about the opt outs. If he leaves after this year… well… bye…
-
Dobbins came out of nowhere last season and has more to prove. We'll see what he can do this year now that there is more spotlight on him and he's only a call away from the show.

JH that bobs his head around while looking at his watch a la Winter Weekend. SK that jingles keys in his right arm rather than bobbles his head. Trevor Story where each part of the body jiggles separately. Casas that slowly goes in and out of downward dog like a drinking bird toy. Cora that is just constantly shrugging his shoulders up and down. Bloom bobblehead that has a Breslow nametag on it. Chapman that bobbles two sharpshooters like Yosemite Sam.

Let's see how the Sox can mess this one up!

Seems like it. As long as it's only one! The second one is the tougher one to come back from. -
Don't start that trend. We'd have 75% less posts here!

Criswell and Fitts are better 7 and 8 depth options than we've had in a LOOOOONG time.
