    Seems like a reasonable deal. Will Mookie sign an extension will soon be a new story, of course.
  2. Bellhorn04
    Excellent.
  3. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, in fact, I think it's past suspicious to obvious.
  4. Bellhorn04
    And the Yanks killed it with RISP in 2019. Guilty!
  5. Bellhorn04
    With the new manager as a dark horse candidate.
  6. Bellhorn04
    I honestly don't think it was a big deal. Because at some point it was going to become obvious anyway. You can't hide the fact you're not spending and that there are rumors about trading Betts, Price et cetera.
  7. Bellhorn04
    That's because you're a bit Magoo-ish.
  8. Bellhorn04
    I already said that.
  9. Bellhorn04
    It is if you know that you know nothing.
  10. Bellhorn04
    That's philosophy, though.
  11. Bellhorn04
    I agree. Whether he intends it or not, Harmony tends to come across that way.

    This is a forum with a low level of moderation. And the one mod who is here on a semi-regular basis is doing it strictly on a volunteer basis.

    If and when the trade is consummated, there will be at least 5 threads started at once.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Is there any other job in the world where you can be guaranteed $420 million no matter how you perform or whether you can perform at all?
  15. Bellhorn04
    Holy smoke, is this guy patient.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, I certainly wasn't looking at it as real news when I saw it LOL
  17. Bellhorn04
    Kimmi you are so pragmatic!

    The optimist's take is that he's a freak like Willie Mays, who was still excellent when he was 40.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Yes, I think Bloom has been given the dual assignment of getting under the cap and fielding a competitive team. It's a lot to ask, but he just might be up to it.
  20. Bellhorn04
    I'd say no question. Not even Gary Sanchez can be as much of a stunned bunny as he looked on a lot of pitches last year.
  21. Bellhorn04
    He's never said anything that wasn't good about playing in Boston. The guy is just a cool customer, I think. He says his mother impressed on him the importance of not letting emotions play heavily in decisions.
  22. Bellhorn04
    The thing is, the money Mookie is looking for is stratospheric. The biggest contract the Red Sox have ever given out is Price's 217 million. Mookie is looking for nearly double that. We've gotten used to these insane numbers to the point we're kind of desensitized to them now, I think.
  23. Bellhorn04
    50% tax on payroll over the limit, up to 20 million over. 62% tax on payroll 20-40 million over the limit. 95% tax on payroll more than 40 million over the limit.
  24. Bellhorn04
    That's not really the case. Prior to 2018, the team always hovered around the tax threshold. 2018 was the first year they blew way past it. And the new (2017-2021) rules brought in the accelerating tax rates and re-set structure.
  25. Bellhorn04
    The drop of 10 spots only applies if you exceed the first threshold by more than 40 million. So we were hit with that penalty for 2018, but not for 2019. And as it stands we wouldn't be hit with it for 2020. And the loss of International Pool money only applies if you sign a free agent who rejected a QO.
