Position, yes. Pitchers are riskier. And we needed a pitcher. So it's not really apples to apples.
-
That is debatable, of course. Any player can cease to be productive in a heartbeat. It's also a real possibility that the Red Sox believed Mookie would get more than the $365 million. The pandemic may have shaved 10% or so.
-
The current state of the team can be blamed on DD, Henry, and Ben. Ben left the team with very little pitching, that was his main contribution.
-
It all comes down to the definition of "afford", of course. Having enough money available to buy something doesn't mean you can afford it.
-
But you have strongly argued that a 12 years, $365 commitment is simply insane. So why isn't it enough of a reason?
-
Jeez, the guy's name is not that difficult LOL
-
But he did want that GM in 2015...
-
It's not just the 30 million a year. It's the risk that the player will get injured or decline but still be paid the 30 million for years, which would cripple a small market team.
-
All I have really been saying is that the primary reason Mookie was traded is that they didn't want to give him the contract he wanted. To me that's all the reason they needed. Do you strongly disagree with that?
-
Maybe because Dombrowski had 3 division winners and one team that went 108-54 and won it all, and Bloom has done nothing yet. Not everyone is into the deep analysis of all the whys and wherefores like you and I are...some folks truly focus on results.
-
They changed the rules for one year and for a pretty good reason IMO. Just be glad the re-set counts.
-
It's anyone's guess how Price will do the next 2 years.
-
I don't really understand how a small market team could afford a $365 million contract.
-
Mazza's FIP seems to suggest some hope.
-
Still a threat for sure.
-
I think it's a little paranoid to be concerned that because we hired Bloom we're going to operate like the Rays now.
-
AFAIK Price is not paid by anyone for 2020. So if he had stayed, the situation would be the same.
-
From the sounds of it, the preferred narrative he's referring to is that JDM is only in a temporary slump.
-
That doesn't reflect the COVID-19 adjustments and the fact he opted out of the season.
-
It's too early yet to know if he's in a short term slump or long term decline.
-
I think it's 156 million? 2016 31 2017 31 2018 31 2019 31 2020 0 2021 16 2022 16

I'm confident Bloom will be able to follow in the footsteps of his old boss Friedman.
-
No one should be maligning Seager's contract.
-
Yankees still have an 87.5% chance of making the playoffs.
