  1. Hill's last contract was 3/48. You have a solid point there. If Hill could get that much Price should be worth about 3/60.
  2. Simulator is overruled.
  3. MLBTR suggests the Sox would get stuck paying 35-40% of his salary.
  4. I see no need to trade Mookie. Trade Price & JBJ.
  5. Only if one thinks it should all be done in one transaction.
  6. John Henry obviously thinks the tax will continue to exist in the next CBA, and I'd say he's in a pretty good position to know about that.
  7. The only thing the Sox have to include in a trade for Price is money.
  8. That's assuming paying Price's full salary, which no one has suggested.
  9. It's the Jays. Even if David pitched 6 good innings, we'd still have a shot against the Jays pen. We have much bigger things to be concerned about.
  10. The MLBTR piece puts an optimistic spin on a trade for Price. It says there about 7 teams interested in Ryu and suggests that the Sox will have multiple potential partners for Price, and that the Sox could expect teams to be willing to pay $20 mill * 3 of his contract.
  11. I just don't know why you're going apeshit about a possible trade of Price to the Jays. It's not like trading with the Yanks or the Rays.
  12. What are you blathering about?
  13. He was talking about Teheran & Keuchel methinks.
  14. The lux tax is not going to disappear altogether, no chance. Players realize that having a lux tax is much better than having a hard cap. Maybe the rates are reduced a bit and the thresholds pushed up a bit.
  15. At this point I feel like anything could happen. Maybe if they're underwhelmed by the offers they're getting they scrap the reset for this year.
  16. I expect Manfred's threat was simply a negotiating tactic.
  17. But it will get resolved.
  18. Bum and Miley are signed.
  19. It's kind of like the Mafia. They have always been very resourceful and adaptive in devising ways to separate people from their money.
  20. If the umps are cooperating, it's pretty much a done deal now.
  21. The question is how baseball revenues continue to rise when attendance and viewership are apparently dropping. That's why I raised the 'partnerships' thing as a possible explanation.
  22. Where is all the new dough flowing from? Probably from the new 'partnerships' like Nike and DraftKings, isn't it?
  23. Yes, a big miss on my part.
  24. As far as obvious concrete examples go, you can't do any better than the '16 Cubs and the '17 Astros. Both teams somewhat notoriously tanked for a few years, scoring high draft picks that were integral to building championship teams.
  25. It's one of those things that's just obvious. When we talk about the farm, what we're really talking about is being successful at scouting, drafting and developing players.
