    His last post cracked me up: If Heymans right I'll never be negative again till we lose a game.
  2. Bellhorn04
    I read today he's a free agent after this year, so that's out the window.

    San Diego is sort of 'on the hook' with the tax number - but that's the only way they can unload half of Myers's contract. So they get a benefit from it as well. The Red Sox get a break on the tax number, but only by taking on half of Myers's contract. So I think it's a fair trade-off.
  4. Bellhorn04
    The AAV/tax quirks are the only reason this potential trade for Myers has any appeal to the Red Sox. It's just a slight variation on the standard salary dump concept.

    It does seem strange that some of these things aren't addressed earlier than they are. With both Paxton and Severino. It's happened with Red Sox pitchers too of course.

    If Manfred hammers the Sox because it's a 'second offense', he sets a clear precedent for the same thing to happen to the Yankees. And there's no way he can put a lid on this. Because the media love this story and there are obviously players and ex-players out there who are willing to talk about it.

    I think Slasher knows that. But cp176 is definitely causing problems with his off the charts sarcasm LOL

    So what do you think of the fact that MLB informed the Red Sox that bench coach Roenicke was free and clear and they could go ahead and name him manager?
  9. Bellhorn04
    So your belief is that if any Red Sox player used the replay room to try to decode signals, Manfred will crush the Red Sox for it and be completely oblivious to the possibility that another team did the same thing unless someone actually squeals on said other team?
  10. Bellhorn04
    I totally agree with your second paragraph. As for the Sox, though, by now Manfred must have the uncomfortable feeling that use of the replay room for decoding signals was epidemic. So if he comes down hard on them, what will he do when it emerges, as it very likely will, that they were only doing normal procedure and that it's him who really f***ed up with his lack of foresight? He will look like an all-time bozo.

    There are no percentage or pro-rating calculations. The way it's done is actually pretty simple. The AAV is transferred to the team acquiring the contract. The actual salary being paid by the trading team is then subtracted. For the team who traded the player, the amount of salary they are paying is added to their tax number. So nobody gets off the hook. You can see this on Cot's with how Price shows on the Red Sox and Dodgers numbers for 2020.
  12. Bellhorn04
    No, I think it's just a straight deduction.
  13. Bellhorn04
    And then there's Beltran. One of the Astros was quoted as saying that when Beltran joined the Stros in 2017 he told them the team was 'behind the times' on sign-stealing. This was after playing for the Yankees in 2014 to 2016. And then of course Beltran was hired by the Yankees as an adviser for the 2019 season. The stories that man could tell.

    By Steve Adams | February 20, 2020 at 1:03pm CDT In yet another bit of troubling injury news for Yankees fans, manager Aaron Boone revealed Thursday that right-hander Luis Severino is experiencing forearm soreness that dates all the way back to his final ALCS appearance in 2019 (Twitter links via MLB.com’s Bryan Hoch). Severino also has a loose body in his elbow, per Boone. He’ll be shut down for at least the next few days and will be examined by team physician Dr. Chris Ahmad tomorrow. Asked if Severino would be ready for Opening Day, Boone could only reply, “We’ll see.”

    Stanek was used as the Rays opener a lot, till they traded him off.
  16. Bellhorn04
    I suspect one of the reasons the Red Sox investigation is taking so long is that Manfred now knows this won't be the last one.
  17. Bellhorn04
    If Manfred comes down hard on the Sox for doing what Kinsler described, he will be setting a disastrous precedent. Because you can almost bet every team was doing that much.
  18. Bellhorn04
    It's not unreasonable for Betts to ask for that much. By the same token, it's not unreasonable for the Red Sox to not want to pay that much.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Oh yeah, sure, blame the buzzarding on me.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Also, the Red Sox checked with MLB to find out if Roenicke would be implicated in report and learned he wouldn't be, before naming him manager.
  21. Bellhorn04
    The Betts Buzzards.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Kinsler also says players who were reviewing at their at-bats on video would also be looking at signs and trying to decode them - making it sound as if this was just normal procedure that everyone was doing. So maybe Manfred is going to have to decide if it's cheating when everyone is doing it.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Ian Kinsler says the 2018 Red Sox just had 'a very good system of relaying from second base to home plate.'
  24. Bellhorn04
    That's the stuff, don't lose your sense of humor.

    We need Claymation.
