Scherzer is a pipe dream.
-
Yankees, Dodgers, Giants, Tigers may all be in on Scherzer. The real question is how high the Sox will go on Shields, IMO.
-
Why on earth would the Reds want to hand over Cueto this offseason without a lot of goodies in return?
-
You really think he's going to only get $5 million more than Lester? I'll be shocked if that happens.
-
You'd need a lot of top prospects going the other way to land Hamels and Cueto.
-
I'm not at all convinced they'll pay what it takes to get Shields. A few teams will be in on him too. His price will exceed any valuation they place on him.
-
Lester must have gotten the whole family involved in this. That's why it's takin' so damn long.
-
Yes, but I think this is in Lester's hands only now.
-
I'm probably going to find about it by opening up the BDC forum and seeing 5-10 threads about it already going.
-
The Lester watch has turned into quite the eleventh-hour melodrama. It's reported the Red Sox had another meeting with his agents not long ago.
-
I'll drink to that idea but at this point I don't think Lester and Hamels is realistic.
-
It's only limited in the sense of what the best return we can get for him is.
-
And he has no problem lying with a straight face (Cespedes).
-
Didn't Farrell also say something about where Cespedes will be playing for us next year though? I will be shocked and enraged if they trade Betts. I don't think they'll do it, no way.
-
4/80 ain't happening. I expect he'll get at least 110 million.
-
Definitely not. But he's going to be crazy overpaid too. The losers on Lester will be immediately looking his way.
-
There are also a lot of rumors circling that the Yankees have emerged as one of the teams in on Lester.
-
And you might be able to get him for a hair under $200 million.
-
I'm going to play devil's advocate here and suggest that the market may stay absurdly high for a few more years. There are more teams now with money to throw around. It's at a point where even the richest teams can't find any easy route to upgrading their team. If Cherington can put together a playoff-caliber rotation without blowing the budget sky-high or raping the farm, it'll be his finest hour.
-
His trade value is limited as you said, but I think there are a number of teams interested in him. 100 RBI's still means something.
-
I'm not going to the dark side, seriously. About 90% of the time I'm still even-keeled about it all. Some things I do get emotional about. Losing a guy like Lester is one of them. But I'll get over it.
-
I'll say this - he shouldn't be written off. When he's healthy he can be a hell of a player. I think we're all just very cynical about his health issues ever going away.
-
I think it's pretty clear the Red Sox will deal Cespedes, and probably could have dealt him already to more than one team, but they're holding out for a better offer.
-
Lester decision reportedly coming tonight or tomorrow.
-
Based on some of the stuff I'm hearing, my gut feeling is that Lester is going to the Giants.
