  1. Yeah, Kennedy being disappointed that Mookie signed an extension with the Dodgers doesn't really fly. It was the Red Sox decision to not only trade him, but trade him to the team that was probably in the best position to extend him.
  2. It is an interesting question how Mookie's numbers will be impacted by leaving Fenway. His career road OPS is .858, which is solid, but well short of elite. Trout's career road OPS is 1.000 - somewhat improbably, his home OPS is also 1.000 at this point in time.
  3. I think I should have phrased this question differently. Hypothetically, if Price had not been traded, and he opted out of the season, I wonder what would have been the general reaction of Red Sox media and fans.
  4. I agree that's a strong possibility. Very unusual circumstances.
  5. I see Starlin Castro escaped from baseball purgatory (the Marlins).
  6. Take that, Cole!
  7. This Nationals lineup is not quite the same one that won the World Series!
  8. Like who? I assume one you're thinking of is JD, but if he doesn't opt out, he'll be here in 2021 and 2022. We only have 3 proven premier hitters in JD, Raffy and Bogey.
  9. Anyone think it was kind of wimpy for Price to opt out of this season?
  10. I can't see them trading Devers on top of losing Betts. That would not go down well with the Faithful.
  11. The only question, and one we'll never know the answer to, is if the Sox could have signed him with an offer like the Dodgers gave him.
  12. For those who are into details, Betts's contract includes: 65 million signing bonus 115 million deferred money No opt-out clause No no-trade clause
  13. All salaries are pro-rated at 60/162, I believe.
  14. I had a feeling this was gonna happen...
  15. 350 would feel like a bit of a discount. 400 not so much.
  16. Yeah, the only bright spot for Sox fans is that it frees up a stack of money to spend on pitching over the next few years.
  17. It might be a smart time for them to do it. With the COVID-19 cloud hanging, they might actual get a lower price than he could get later. And I do know how absurd that sounds when we're talking that much money...
  18. Trading him to the Dodgers was always going to bring in the possibility of him signing an extension. No team was better set up to do it.
  19. One of the best lineups, too. We were given a good chance to repeat.
  20. And 2019 wasn't a cliff, just a year where everything went wrong.
  21. If Bloom turns out to be a really good one, as I'm hopeful he will (and I know you are too), John Henry and the franchise will be golden again.
  22. Beni's not a sure bet, but not exactly a long shot.
