Everyone's window is getting smaller now, I think. We used to talk about the 6 years of cheap control. Well, Mookie is expected to make about 19 million this year and I would expect it'll be 25 million or so in his final arb year. That's not exactly cheap in my books. (Not suggesting he doesn't deserve it, obviously.)

Who is the greatest under-the-radar player in Sox history?

There was a pretty bleak 5 years or so in between. -

I loved Pudge, but I was disappointed in him when he went to the other Sox. I know the front office screwed up, but he could have worked things out and stayed. -
So you're leaving out Chris Freakin' Sale and JD Freakin' Martinez because they don't fit into this category? You've had a thousand posts about Sale and how much you loved the trade. Now you're not even including it in DD's best deals because it wasn't one of the low risk ones. Makes no sense.

This was an okay post until the wacko last line.
-
It's an odd deal, but I don't think it's the disaster for the Mets it was first made out to be.
-
It's pretty hard to top that one!
-
When it comes to pitchers, there's risk with all of them. OTOH there's risk in not having enough pitching. So what are ya gonna do? That's what Mr. Dombrowski is paid to figure out - with Mr. Henry approving the expenditure.
-
Of course there's risk. Plenty of it. I would offer 2 counterpoints: 1) Eovaldi actually pitched pretty well in his abbreviated regular season. 2) If he gets 4 years and 60 million, that's a lot of dough. But it's only about 50% of what Yu Darvish got, 40% of what Lester got, 30% of what Price got.

There's always the luck and randomness factor too. In 1975 the Sox had a 3-0 lead in Game 7 of the World Series. In 1978, they lost a playoff game to the eventual champs. -
I don't think anyone knows yet exactly how much the Mariners are kicking in for Cano, and that will be a big factor in the final evaluation of the deal.

I'll bet I'm the only one with a YAZ SIR THAT'S MY BABY button.
-
I'm sure what the fans think doesn't bother him. I do think he makes a public fool of himself at times, most recently with his outlandish projections of how much J D Martinez would be getting.
-
He was 'outrighted' to Pawtucket.
-
+ Austin Maddox. (You did use the word 'possible'.)
-
I'll go on record that there's no way he gets 6 years.
-
For me the obvious first question is why did he pitch so badly last year when he came back from the injury?
-
Bautista pitched 4.1 innings for the Mets last year with a 12.46 ERA. He had a 5.14 ERA and a 1.71 WHIP in AA/AAA last year. Not much to get excited about there.
-
I'll wait till the deal is completed and the experts weigh in on this one.
-
I don't think we would have won the 2018 World Series without the players he traded Minor Leaguers for.

You may have already this article, which proposes that with so many clients Boras is in violation of the 'Zero-Sum Conflict'. https://www.fangraphs.com/tht/the-truth-about-scott-boras/
-
Steve Pearce just did.
-
There's a public relations factor with Mookie along with the baseball factor. He's a guy who adds charisma to the team. That's worth money in itself.
-
Why couldn't JDM feel the same way as Kershaw? Kershaw stayed where he was comfortable. Maybe JDM really likes where he is and playing for Cora? I'm just throwing it out there. There's a spectrum of possibilities.
-
Boras doesn't always make the decisions for his clients.
