His actual 2020 salary was $2.475 million. Maybe you're looking at the pro-rated number. He had a 0.6 fWAR this year, roughly equivalent to 1.6 over a full season. Not sure you can call him a difference-maker.

sss

I agree on all points.
-
In those 4 title seasons for the Sox, their accumulated postseason record: 44-14
-
Agreed!
-
Boone is Cashman's boy, though.
-
There are only so many slices in the money pie, even when you're the Yankees.
-
We made pretty big deadline moves in 2004, 2007, 2013 and 2018.
-
I'm just saying that those deadline moves can be key to address weaknesses that have arisen or increase depth.
-
Snake is laboring but no damage yet. Needs to be a little more efficient.
-
I didn't blame Grady that much at the time, but I got very angry when I found out later that Theo had gone over the numbers with him before the game and basically instructed him to get Pedro out of there at 105 pitches no matter what, and Grady chose to defy him.
-
Buck and Smoltz kind of put the hex on Graterol last night. "This kid is amazing...makes throwing 100 look easy...hasn't allowed an inherited runner to score this postseason..."
-
And you had the starting pitchers also pitching out of the bullpen, which worked great but was also further cause for concern. I absolve Cora 100%, personally.
-
Yeah, I suspect he was "pitching through pain" on various occasions in 2018 and 2019.
-
Cashman has made a lot of very good moves and has made the Yankees a contender year-in and year-out. But a lot of Yankee fans want him gone because of the lack of postseason success. And the Yankees do some weird things. This year they sign Cole to a 324 million deal, indicating they are all-in for 2020. But then they fail to make a single move at the trade deadline to bolster their pitching in spite of the losses of Paxton and Kahnle etc.
-
I agree.
-
And yet he had a stretch last year where he had something like 40 K's without a walk, giving us short-lived hope again.
-
Let's not forget that Sale has actually had durability concerns his whole career. His physique and his delivery were always worrisome, and his numbers have always suggested he wears down by September, both before and after joining the Red Sox. And he has not been 100% right since about August 2018.
-
1. Of course I agree Sale should get a shot at his old role. 2. I don't have the answer about Eovaldi. It's a medical question. All I know is that he looked great at the end of the season, healthy and pitching at a high level. Can you do that if you're injured? No.
-
Hard to say. He signed him in 2018 to a one-year deal, and traded him to us at the deadline.
-
And he was pitching beautifully this postseason until the 6th inning last night. He seems to be a frequent victim of the 'one bad inning at the wrong time' syndrome in the postseason.
-
$365 million - stop shortchanging him.
-
But Kershaw is always great in the regular season.
-
All of us here can read the numbers on Baseball-Reference just fine. But none of us know what the actual condition of Sale's and Eovaldi's arms are.
-
Kershaw is actually a better case to study if we're really going to get into this debate.
