Yeah, I think it might be more useful to presume that the other party doesn't really like giving you back twice as much as you're giving them. If you trade Devers you're more likely to get back a package of prospects that MIGHT turn into double the value, and MIGHT turn into dust.

You know there are quite a few Astros fans going 'Why the hell didn't we re-sign Morton?' today.
-
Is Greinke a postseason chocker?
-
Lucchino was not all bad as far as some of the baseball moves. He did hire Theo, after all. And he was instrumental in the 2012 trade with the Dodgers, per this article. https://www.espn.com/boston/mlb/story/_/id/8323305/boston-red-sox-los-angeles-dodgers-blockbuster-trade-anatomy
-
Yep. Too fat for the outfield now.
-
Mookie Betts was a 5th rounder.
-
They actually announced it?
-
I suspect they have, yes. But why wouldn't we factor Devers into the equation? It was the same year.
-
They all deserve a lot of credit for the rings.
-
What other possible explanation could there be for these paragons of durability to miss time like that?
-
On the search to replace DD, one thing I did not realize was that Friedman's contract with the Dodgers runs out this year and he hasn't signed a new one yet. Maybe Henry throws some crazy money at him? There's no luxury tax on that, John!
-
Mookie Betts would have been one of those little guys.
-
Peter Abraham seems pretty sure JD will opt out. https://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/redsox/2019/10/06/martinez-decision-staying-dictates-red-sox-path-offseason/VkeESsgwmu5rVfTBgDzltM/story.html

I've knocked Cherington for a bunch of things myself. The last place finishes were no fun. But on the flip side, he won one title and he put a lot of pieces in place for the next title.
-
That was the year he signed Rafael Devers (August/13). That takes a bit of the sting out of the 2013 draft, doesn't it?
-
A trade for Betts has to bring back a legit pitching prospect or two.
-
He needs some kids of star pitchers now.
-
While Ben's been doing this, the MLB team has been in semi-tank mode: 2016 89-73 (Ben hired in Sept/16) 2017 76-86 2018 73-89 2019 67-95 We'll see if and when it all pays off.

ALDS: Minnesota Twins vs New York Yankees
Bellhorn04 replied to jacksonianmarch's topic in Other Baseball
Maybe it's a bullpen game. -
Yeah I guess so. But needless to say there's been a huge amount of buzz about him being traded.
-
LOL yeah, Mookie's as good as gone now. Whether Mookie was on it or not on it would draw attention. If he was on it people would say 'does this mean they're keeping him for sure?' or 'if they're thinking about trading him why would they put him on it?' Just dumb s***.
-
I believe you're thinking of the 'Verducci Effect', an analysis by Tom Verducci, but that was only in reference to young pitchers just starting out in the big leagues.
-
Yuck.
-
I don't disagree. But the relationship between the Boston media and the Red Sox has always been kind of a nasty one, with a lot of dirt-digging, going back to the days of Ted Williams.
-
If DD got fired based on the 2019 results alone, that would be wrong and would make no sense. For me, trying to figure out exactly why he did get fired is just something to talk about here, something to pass the time. Seriously. There's nothing any of us can do about any of this stuff. I was a big fan of Epstein and Francona. They're gone. I'm a fan of Cora. He'll be gone someday too.
