    That's true. But all we can go on is the rumors that Leon is the one on the block.
  2. Bellhorn04
    Sure he is.
  3. Bellhorn04
    I think this extension for Sale casts doubt on the whole reset premise. Especially when you consider that JDM might NOT opt out. Do the math for 2020 if he doesn't opt out.
  4. Bellhorn04
    Yes, maybe a 10 year deal, heavily front-loaded, with an opt out.
  5. Bellhorn04
    I'm the same. I hope JD is with us for the full 5 years. Unlike some, I was even happy that Price didn't opt out!
  6. Bellhorn04
    So you're saying you're not going to render your final opinion on the deal until the end of the year 2022. Life's too short for that sort of thinking IMHO.

    Prior to signing an extension, Nolan Arenado agreed to a $26 mill salary in his final arb year. He had initially asked for $30 mill and the Rockies offered $24 mill. Based on that data, Mookie appears to be in line for at least $28 million methinks.

    As it turns out, we weren't the only ones with some uncertainty about the tax effects. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/03/red-sox-extend-chris-sale.html

    Brian Bannister is also a key figure in the organization's pitching management.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Only by the troll, of course.

    I think the Red Sox will be a contender in 2020, thus Betts will be part of the team. I don't think Henry signed long term deals with Sale and Eovaldi in order to punt in 2020. I think he's of the mindset of being all in every chance you get. That's why he's a great owner.

    Thanks.

    It definitely does. They had a choice of how to structure the contract.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Maybe teams now have the option of treating it as 2 separate contracts or one?
  15. Bellhorn04
    Now I read that Alex Bregman's new extension does not affect his tax number for 2019. It's treated like 2 separate contracts. I'm as baffled as anyone.
  16. Bellhorn04
    When they waited with Porcello (just as they had in the past with Beckett), it changed the tax calculations. The Sox were kind of notorious for doing this. I think in the new CBA they probably plugged this little loophole so that whether you wait or not the tax effects are the same.
  17. Bellhorn04
    An extension is an extension. Sale now has a 6-year contract.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Link for 'new rules' please!

    So why does Trout's AAV for 2019 show as 35.5 mill? He was in the second-last year of a deal that had a 24 mill AAV.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Pablo's 5 mill is not part of tax payroll, it was already included. My guess: Bogaerts and Porcello are gone. They try to retain JDM if he opts out. Tax re-set is a non-issue.
  21. Bellhorn04
    My guess is it's the other way around - it doesn't matter if you wait to announce it, it affects the current year AAV. That would explain why no one is waiting to announce them - there's nothing to gain.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Take a look at the 2019 AAV's for Severino and Hicks on Cot's. It's pretty clear there.
  23. Bellhorn04
    I disagree. Take a look at the 2019 AAV's for the players who have signed extensions.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Affirmative.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Sale was due to make $15 million for 2019, so for luxury tax purposes this makes it 6 years $160 million, for an AAV of 26.7 million.
