  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Oh yeah, sure, blame the buzzarding on me.
  4. 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.
  5. The Betts Buzzards.
  6. 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.
  7. Ian Kinsler says the 2018 Red Sox just had 'a very good system of relaying from second base to home plate.'
  8. That's the stuff, don't lose your sense of humor.
  9. We need Claymation.
  10. Yeah, the FanGraphs value doesn't say "one win is worth x", it says "one win has cost x".
  11. Then what you're looking for is something more like the Trade Simulator.
  12. Mookiewood.
  13. Mick also said you can't always get what you want, so he really covered the whole deal.
  14. I don't think that's the theory. I think it's just a calculation.
  15. Those $ values do have some meaning, because they're based on the real average cost of a win on the free agent market. They do get inflated by all the free agent busts, of course.
  16. That philosopher didn't envision a dream costing $420 million, I don't think.
  17. Guess that confirms the rumors about him being isolated.
  18. Atlanta has been mentioned.
  19. The only question is whether there's some place he really wants to play. With some players that doesn't seem to matter at all, of course. I can't believe the #1 destinations for Harper & Machado were Philly and San Diego (yes I know SD is a nice place to live).
  20. On that thread he is.
  21. And why would JBJ's skills noticeably decline at his age?
  22. Teams don't typically win bidding wars by going $1 higher, of course. If the reports are accurate, the Yankees secured Cole by offering a 9th year at $36 million, whereas the Dodgers and Angels each called it quits at 8 years at the same rate.
  23. What's the big deal? You use whatever you can to market these days, inside the law of course.
  24. That's not my point though. My point is that moon said JBJ's defense wasn't worth $10 million EVEN IN HIS PRIME.
