    Here's the analysis Alex Speier did showing how the Red Sox could save $100 million over the next 3 years by re-setting. That number includes $38.5 million in reduced payroll for 2020. The $243.5 number represents the 2019 payroll number for tax purposes. If the Red Sox don't reset*(assumes $212 million luxury tax threshold in 2022).

    I'd say teams that have a good shot at the playoffs the next couple of years and some payroll room would be more interested in Price.
  3. Bellhorn04
    Fun facts: 1) This is more than double (admittedly not much more than double) the $161 million contract the Yankees gave Sabathia before the 2009 season. 2) It's almost as much as the combined $345 million contracts the Yankees gave Teixeira and Sabathia before the 2009 season.

    You're wrong, so it's a moot point. Archer's deal was 6/25.5 2014-2019, plus a 9 million team option for 2020. AAV of 9 million for 2020.
  5. Bellhorn04
    9 mill + Groome is not cheap, though.
  6. Bellhorn04
    Archer's salary/AAV is 9 million. Might as well sign Porcello and hang onto Groome, no?
  7. Bellhorn04
    Bloom has his hands full replacing Price and Porcello alright, especially with the likes of Kevin Gausman commanding 10 mill.

    We have no idea what the offers were last year. Maybe another team offer 3 * 17...who knows. The Sox seem focused on trading Price. If they succeed I assume they're keeping Eovaldi.
  9. Bellhorn04
    I think a team would pay him $18 * 3. That's 60% which is what the current buzz seems to be.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Did we not agree that other teams were in on Eovaldi too? And I think it's pretty obvious the way Eovaldi pitched in the 2018 postseason had a lot to do with his perceived value.
  11. Bellhorn04
    That's a given.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Is this the new version of the Yankees Season Thread?
  13. Bellhorn04
    Nobody knows what his plans are. We know one thing, his decision to wait it out until free agency is probably going to put at least $100 million more in his pocket.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Wrong.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Price for 3 years at 18 per looks pretty reasonably priced right about now.
  16. Bellhorn04
    If that really is the plan I'm fine with it.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Especially when it's actually 5 years and the present value is only $128 mill.
  18. Bellhorn04
    LOL well played.
  19. Bellhorn04
    I just read the article. Speier didn't say close to $100 mill in penalties. He said close to $100 million in payroll plus tax plus forfeited revenue sharing. But about half of it is payroll.
  20. Bellhorn04
    I just posted about this on the Betts or Martinez? thread.
  21. Bellhorn04
    After the Cole signing and the other salary escalation, Mookie is probably looking at about 375 million now.
  22. Bellhorn04
    And they're going to be very well positioned to do it. They're better, Astros are worse, Red Sox are cutting payroll...
  23. Bellhorn04
    So going into this year the highest contract for a pitcher was 217 million. Now it's 324 million. That's a 49.3% leap.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Ay, there's the rub.
  25. Bellhorn04
    In theory that's possible, but in reality I think you're more likely to end up in the position we're in right now, scrambling to cut payroll to get under the line in the third year. To me it would make more sense to hover around the first tax threshold each year like we used to before 2018.
