  1. Just to clarify, I wasn't doubting that he said it. I think it was kind of a dumb/******** thing to say.
  2. Personally I like the Dodgers' confidence. Or maybe what they're thinking is 'Well, if the pandemic destroys the world, this contract won't much matter anyway."
  3. The pandemic probably did play a part. But the Red Sox should have known the Dodgers would make a serious play for Mookie. -Friedman had created some payroll room. -The Dodgers are set up to be contenders for a while and have a good organization. -It's a good place to play. -The Dodgers had to give up some talent for Mookie so it makes sense they weren't just looking to have him for one season.
  4. That works for me too.
  5. Which raises the question of how much more at risk MLB players are than the general population right now. Are David and his family in lockdown?
  6. Well, it's probably a good thing they're trying to add something for the fans.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. I agree that's a strong possibility. Very unusual circumstances.
  11. I see Starlin Castro escaped from baseball purgatory (the Marlins).
  12. Take that, Cole!
  13. This Nationals lineup is not quite the same one that won the World Series!
  14. 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.
  15. Anyone think it was kind of wimpy for Price to opt out of this season?
  16. I can't see them trading Devers on top of losing Betts. That would not go down well with the Faithful.
  17. 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.
  18. 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
  19. All salaries are pro-rated at 60/162, I believe.
  20. I had a feeling this was gonna happen...
  21. 350 would feel like a bit of a discount. 400 not so much.
