The question is whether the Red Sox have the "luxury" (ha-ha) of waiting that long, assuming they are committed to getting below the $208.
-
Maybe so. But there's no getting around what happened with Sonny Gray. Cashman didn't just trade him, he told the press virtually the moment the season was over that he was going to trade him because it 'won't work here'.
-
He also delivered in 2018, including the postseason. He helped get that ring.
-
That's what we focus on with all this forum jibber jabber, sure. But it doesn't mean what happened in the past is so quickly forgotten. If we just keep wiping the slate clean it makes it all kind of a futile endeavor.
-
Obviously different guys react to pressure differently. But the guys you mentioned are a bunch of no-names who had low expectations, so it's a little different from Sonny Gray or Gerrit Cole.
-
The problem is the trade simulator says we can only unload 37.5% of it. (36/96)
-
And $60 million seems like too much to swallow.
-
The pressure of playing for the Yankees comes from within. You saw what happened with Sonny Gray.
-
You'll have to speak for yourself there.
-
Put it this way, if Bloom liked the offers he was getting for Price he probably would have taken one by now, so he could move on to the next business.
-
Well, I agree with Jax that the payday for Bum was surprisingly low.
-
I tend to agree. The question is, if the offers for Price are unacceptable what do they do?
-
You can say that about pretty much every pitcher.
-
Yeah, I'm sure Bloom would rather be Ben Cherington right now.
-
It's not really that bad of a mess from a strictly financial aspect. The worst contract on the books is Price's which we all know the negative value of. Bloom could clean things up in a jiffy if it was a less demanding fanbase he was dealing with.
-
Please, I beg you, don't post Price's trade value again. This is about the dozenth time you've done it.
-
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.
