Did you count Price's 26 innings in the 2018 postseason? Did you account for the fact they shut him down early in 2019 because the team was out of it and there was no sense putting him at risk in meaningless games? He really only had that one injury-plagued season in 2017. In 2014-2016 he pitched mega-innings. Calling him "injury prone" is definitely overstating it.

I must say it would be kind of cool to be able to throw high-90's heat, and hit the ball 450 feet.
-
Even if you prefer the Morton and Happ deals, they're obviously in the same ballpark with the one for Price. Happ's deal included a vesting option which could have made it 3 years. And Price has better career numbers than those two. 16 * 3 for Price would be a little questionable, but certainly not outlandish.
-
I think if JA Happ could get $17M * 2 and Charlie Morton could get $15M * 2, Price could probably get $16M * 3.
-
So which starters are you thinking of, exactly?
-
On TBS they said Dalbec can also pitch, and has a high-90's heater.
-
Meanwhile Sox fans are more concerned about Chavis and/or Dalbec being the next Will Middlebrooks...
-
Even better than that-the Dodgers kicked in money!
-
Yes to the question. I guess it could happen in a 3 team trade involving a young Hall of Famer like Betts. A question for Red Sox fans is why didn't we just take Maeda? The Dodgers would have been in the same position except for not getting Graterol or giving up Downs. I assume Bloom wasn't that high on Maeda.
-
Here's the thing. Even if DD hadn't done that reckless spending and our payroll was in much better position, it doesn't change the fact that it's a monumental and arguably irrational risk to sign anyone for 12 years and $400 million.
-
Yes, the very same. He was a great pick, in hindsight. Actually not sure why the Dodgers let him go...
-
You guys are cancelled.
-
The Twins seem to have done well by getting Maeda.
-
I don't really disagree. Mookie is a huge loss. And if he stays healthy, that deal will only hurt the Dodgers in its latter years. If I was a Dodger fan I would be thrilled about the deal. At the same time I understand the Red Sox balking at the risk.
-
The rotation still needs more attention IMO, although its close. I'd give Eovaldi one more shot as a starter before converting him to the pen.
-
Nathan was a reliever. Liriano & Bonser were prospects.
-
I don't think that slightly peculiar trade negates my point... moon thinks we could land a top starting pitcher with years of control in return for Vazquez plus Eovaldi or something equivalent. I just can't see another team doing that. Top starting pitchers with years of control are precious commodities. We know the Rays were interested in Vaz, and it was rumored they might be willing to give up a pitching prospect (or two?). That one made sense.
-
Screaming quite loudly, yes indeed.
-
When was Garland's contract expiring? That's the other key factor I should have included.
-
I challenge you to find an example of a team trading a top starter for something other than salary relief or prospects.
-
^^^ An objective Yankee fan.
-
You don't normally see an established MLB pitcher traded for a better established MLB pitcher. Usually you have to give up prospects.
-
Many don't know what they're talking about, of course. All that matters is the total value.
-
13 to be exact!
-
If JH isn't concerned about play money, why would we trade Mookie and Price?
