Not to mention producing Betts, JBJ, Benintendi, Devers, Barnes etc.

You only lose pool money if you exceed the tax threshold AND sign a free agent who has rejected a QO. http://m.mlb.com/glossary/transactions/international-amateur-free-agency-bonus-pool-money

You really think most fans don't care if there are any exciting prospects in the system or not? You must think the average fan is basically an ignoramus, I guess.
-
Or not.
-
I think most fans care about the farm. Even if they don't follow it closely they recognize how important it is. It's always been important.
-
Not true and not true.
-
There's no draft penalty unless you go over by $40 million or more.
-
I don't think any of us expected that by Christmas they would have done virtually nothing.
-
I do have a suspicion they may have floated the reset goal to see how fans reacted with ticket sales and are now reconsidering.
-
Yeah the writer is no budgie.
-
Hmm...that's a pretty good line.
-
Well, Bloom has his work cut out there, you have to admit. We're going to be subtracting talent, clearly, from an 84-win team whose pitching rotation features health question marks in Sale and Eovaldi.
-
I do agree that not fielding a competitive team will have an adverse affect. That's what makes it interesting to see exactly what they do.
-
$100 million over a 3 year period, just to clarify.
-
It would be very punitive this year though, because it would be the third year over the threshold. Plus they would lose revenue sharing money.
-
Not by much though. FanGraphs had his total value for 2017-2019 at about 18 mill. Plus that huge 3-run jack in the WS.
-
It's usually the way it works when teams win championships, though. A lot of stuff goes your way. It doesn't happen two years in a row. So we have no back to back WS winners any more.
-
Don't be disgusted until something actually happens.
-
The Padres have also signed Hosmer and Machado the last two years, clearly showing they are not averse to making an expensive splash here and there. And they need pitching. I've certainly seen more unlikely scenarios than the Padres being interested in Price...
-
And the Yankees were lucky in 2009 because A-Rod had a great postseason for the only time in his career. The discredit game is pretty easy.
-
It's not just the spending. It's the barren farm system. The Red Sox obviously need someone to rebuild the farm, and no one in their right mind would think DD is that guy.
-
I'm quite sure it was a combination of things. The personality conflict stuff actually makes a nice cover, if the real reason was just a cold-blooded assessment that DD wasn't the right guy going forward.
-
It's not an established fact by any stretch. And Henry also approved Cherington's signings, but that doesn't mean they had nothing to do with his departure.
-
If the Red Sox FO is full of crap, where exactly are Gammons and Russo getting their facts on why Henry really fired DD?
-
Actions speak louder than words. Hiring Chaim Bloom says money and strategy were very much on Henry's mind.
