    The problem is that the housing supply is closer to unlimited than MLB free agency. If you are trying to buy a house in only one neighborhood and one neighborhood only, you could be SOL over and over again if the bidding is competitive and you never go above your budget. That's where the Sox are at in FA IMO.

    I'm not "almost everyone."
  3. mvp 78
    How many years is this for? Is this postseason stats only?

    Why would anyone prefer the money later? Are they dumb? It also doesn't make sense to just hand wave all the reporting on the issue that you don't like as "Bregman's camp." C'mon man...

    Why would Bregman take the Cubs's offer if it wasn't much better? Bregman came back to the Sox to get them to up their offer and the Sox clearly didn't get close enough OR deal with the no trade clause issue. Honestly, I don't know what this argument is even about anymore. Some in the Sox FO wanted Bregman back badly and he's not here. I'm sure they are not happy about it today. They didn't get it done and there currently isn't a public plan on 2b/3b.

    Probably better than Jimi and Jeff since they are dead.
  7. mvp 78
    Yes, he was rushed. No, it shouldn't have destroyed his confidence or meaningfully harmed his career in anyway.
  8. mvp 78
    It should be at least an adequate fielder. I don't think he can be an absolute dog out there. He needs to be a dawg.

    Does Hamilton have a history of injuries?
  10. mvp 78
    Option 2 just doesn't make sense as a roster. Option 1, Romy can platoon with Mayer at 2b. Masa can get majority of DH AB's. If Casas mashes at AAA, he can be called up and make a future Masa decision.

    The payroll expenses for LAD will be 250Mish. You wouldn't accrue an MLB player's salary based on CBT if they are paid with different terms.
  12. mvp 78
    Yes, if making money is #1 then the cash spend is the most important number, thank you!!!

    The Angels agreed to restructure the contract so that he could retire ONE YEAR early. Moon was suggesting a player retire 3 years early and the team continue to pay them.

    I'd trade Abreu for Paredes because Isaac is better offensively and plays a position the Sox need to fill.

    I didn't say the luxury tax number doesn't matter. I said it's a number derived from the CBA. Teams are supposedly trying to make money (job #1) and that would come from the cash number. That's all. Some teams care about the luxury tax number. 1/3d maybe?

    The Garden in Nashville?
  17. mvp 78
    Should have just Deversed him.

    Things seem to be heading in the right direction, but they have sidetracked themselves a few times IMO (Devers). Let's see where they wind up at the end of the year.

    That's what my friends said. They also said it was unbelievably bright. That there was like an insane spotlight on the crowd the whole time or whatever.
  21. mvp 78
    That's not how GAAP accounting works. Sorry. The deferrals are based on net present value of the contract, I believe. They push the $$$ to get the net present value lowered enough to fudge the CBT number because it's fake. In '24, the Sox didn't have payroll expense of 9M for Bello, but cash payments of 1M. The luxury tax calc is purely a function of calculating the tax itself. It has nothing to do with how the company would record the salaries on their books.

    Jose Ramirez punching Tim Anderson is the most recent KO that I know of.
  23. mvp 78
    He has enough voices in his head. Not sure he needs his agent's too.

    If they retire, they don't get paid. They'd still have to show up to ST, mess around and get put on IL. Most guys don't want that. (see Stephen Strasburg)
