Congrats.
-
I joined the NYYFans board just because it gives me one more place to go when I'm bored LOL. I post infrequently there and only on general baseball stuff. It's definitely tight-ass. A place like that makes you appreciate a place like this, where you can really let it all hang out.

It's pretty doubtful that another team will pay Price's full salary. I just hope one will pay 2/3 of it.
-
What's the deal on Happ's vesting option?
-
Based on the latest blurb on MLBTR, the Astros are defending their actions on the basis that the camera they were using was already there, not something specially installed for this purpose. Sounds like they are also intimating that other teams have been doing the same type of thing.
-
Fair enough.
-
Run it through the simulator!

Cole?
-
You are feasting on Price.

As moon says, let's keep this thread to baseball talk.
-
The fact is that to obtain a pitcher of Cole's caliber on the free agent market, that was what you had to do. Reportedly the Angels and Dodgers were willing to go 8 years at the same rate and drew the line there. The Yanks went to 9 to win the auction. We're lucky in a sense that the Angels and Dodgers were there to push the Yanks to this level. If I was a Yankee fan I'd be very happy to have Cole, while also very aware that at some point this will be an albatross. It's just the way it works.
-
The bottom line on Perez is that the deep analytics show he pitched better than his ERA last year, and $6 mill is a reasonable price. It's exactly the type of signing Bloom should have been expected to make.
-
Yankee fans have certainly seen that over the last decade. Seriously, Jax, what kind of tripe is that.
-
As reported by numerous sources on Sept 27/19: "This year we need to be under the CBT and that was something we've known for more than a year now," Henry said. "If you don't reset there are penalties so we've known for some time now we needed to reset as other clubs have done."
-
He had an fWAR of 1.9 last year and has a projected fWAR of 1.6 for this year. Not as bad as you're trying to make out.
-
Price for Myers works well as a salary dump.
-
Mine would be pretty similar. 1) Pedro 2) Schilling 3) VTek & Lowe 4) Dodger dump T5) Chris Sale/Beckett & Lowell Amazing that none of them fall in the period 1970-1996.
-
Moving Price, of course, also clears him off the books for 2021 and 2022.

Calling All Budgies - the Red Sox 2020 payroll thread

DGale bid us farewell and seems to have meant it, regrettably. -
Bloom is clearly looking to trade Price.
-
I'm just giving you a bit of a hard time about Porcello. I have a feeling he'll have a better season than Perez. But I can see what Bloom is up to and I do think he's a sharp guy.

The indicators seem to be that Mookie will not be traded this offseason. -
60% to be exact. The savings is $4 million.

Are you objecting to my table comparing the numbers from the two sites? -
The recent flurry of lucrative signings would appear to suggest that baseball is more flush with cash than ever, and that owners are not trying to suppress salaries. Does this mean all the rumblings of labor unrest and possible work stoppage we were hearing will be quieted?
