    Are you sure he wouldn't be just fine if it wasn't for the injury on the Machado play? That was where it all seemed to fall apart for him.
  2. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, I know. Just trying to make us feel better about Shaw in a miserable, Schadenfreude-ish way.
  3. Bellhorn04
    And Pedey is a Rhodes Scholar?
  4. Bellhorn04
    We wouldn't want Shaw here this year. He's hitting .163 and is on the IL.

    #4, and possibly most important, it's something to jibber-jabber about between games.
  6. Bellhorn04
    There's the MLBPA's concerns, and there's also MLB's concerns with the luxury tax.
  7. Bellhorn04
    If my memory serves correctly, though, the Sox did recoup a million or something like that.
  8. Bellhorn04
    What's getting a little buried in all this is that if Pedroia can't play any more, I wouldn't be surprised if he does try to work out something with the team where he stays on in another capacity.

    A-Rod's contract with the Yanks ran through 2017. In 2016 they released him. They then hired him to a new contract for 2017 as a 'special advisor'. But I don't think this had any effect on A-Rod's payroll cost for tax purposes. I think the speculation was that the release and the advisor contract were just preventative measures to keep him from trying to play for the Yanks in 2017 LOL.

    In 2012 the Red Sox settled with Bobby Jenks on a contract termination. I think they may have saved $1 million or something like that? But I think the reason none of us can remember a notable example of this happening is that it hasn't happened.

    What's the difference between that Ellsbury scenario and your Pedroia scenario?
  12. Bellhorn04
    Good job going to all 3 games.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Max, as fans our spirits tend to rise and fall with wins and losses.

    Nobody signs a consultant to a 20-30 year contract. Anything out of the ordinary would be looked at skeptically in this situation. Keep in mind that the team and Pedroia would have to agree to this sort of deal BEFORE he retires. Which is a problem.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Hit Dawg Devers
  16. Bellhorn04
    Agree 100%.

    Copied from the end of last night's game thread: It's a funny old game, Jacks.

    The other Song of the Day for this game thread would be: Jimi Hendrix - If 6 Was 9

    When Pedroia signed the contract extension, in July 2013, he was neither clearly on the downswing nor with any obvious potential medical issues.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Boston Pops then.
  21. Bellhorn04
    The Red Sox have had some very good luck against Verlander over the years, beating him in games where he pitched well.
  22. Bellhorn04
    If Pedey retires and the Sox hire him as a consultant or in some other capacity, how much would they pay him? That's the whole crux of the issue. If they pay him market rate for that position, there wouldn't be any issues. But if they pay him $10 million a year for 2 years, then it becomes an obvious attempt to circumvent the luxury tax.
  23. Bellhorn04
    To me that makes no sense whatsoever. Dempster retired when he could still play, because of his marital issues. Pedroia is not retiring after devastating injury and difficult rehab because he wants to play. For all we know Pedroia might be willing to retire and give up the money. You're just assuming he wouldn't do that.
  24. Bellhorn04
    No, he really doesn't need to do that to be seen as a team player. A lot of people would think he was an idiot (like Ryan Dempster) if he did that. And as notin says, this team has more than enough money to work with as is.

    Sports fans are the best.
