LoMo 3 Arrieta 4
-
LoMo's projected AAV is 12 million Arrieta's is 25 million (same as JDM) Total 37 million
-
90% is a bit of an overstatement when you look at the pitching staff Ben left behind. It was awful.
-
My mistake, I missed that you were just talking about Pomeranz.
-
Time is actually getting short. We are now at about the midpoint between Christmas Day and the start of spring training. And Christmas Day doesn't feel very long ago.
-
OTOH I find it hard to believe Dombrowski is just sitting at his desk surfing the internet all day.
-
Good point about DD contradicting himself by now expressing comfort with the 2018 Red Sox offense after saying "I didn't supply the players that would give us enough runs" following last season.
-
As far as public statements that were way out of line, the only one I remember is Varitek. And that was a while ago. Any others you can think of?
-
2 years AAV 7 mil.
-
It's possible that Boras misread the market this time. MLBTR predicted a contract of 6/$150 for JDM and that seems quite fair. Boras came out and publicly declared he was looking for 7/$210. That is a huge gap and I think we're seeing that his number was completely unrealistic. Has he created a situation where his client feels embarrassed by how low the actual offers are? I don't know but I think it's possible.
-
J.D. Martinez wants more than $125 million, that's what he wants. If the Red Sox outbid themselves and jumped their offer I'm sure his feelings toward them would get warmer and fuzzier.
-
I will be bold enough to predict that Martinez is not getting any $180 million. As you have said, MLBTR is pretty good with their predictions, and I think their prediction of 6/$150 is as high as anyone is going to go.
-
You shouldn't have to wonder any more.
-
DD could at least sign Buchholz to a minor league contract or something, for Christ's sake.
-
It's not inconceivable that Boras could have conflicting interests with his clients.
-
There has to be something a little devious going on. Not even Boras himself expected to have Martinez, Hosmer, Moustakas and Arrieta still unsigned on January 19. He'll have something to say about it all at some point, I expect.
-
Exactly.
-
Still virtually nothing happening with free agents. Getting curiouser and curiouser.
-
Me either.
-
He ended with a 314/350/507 line for the PawSox last year - 15 HR, 22 2B and 14 SB in 87 games - very solid numbers, really.
-
It doesn't work like that with every single player of course.
-
We'll never see another like that one.
-
'Cavalcade' - excellent word. Although I don't really like seeing it in this context LOL
-
Which raises the question, what's the difference between a 'hold out' and an unemployed person?
-
Now, of course, Boras says the 5/$100 report is not accurate.
