Even with the $19 mill on Giolito, Breslow's other moves, especially trading Sale and Verdugo, pretty much offset that cost. And by today's standards Giolito's contract is dirt cheap.
-
To me this is all coming down to one simple question now: what the f*** is the budget they've given Breslow for 2024? I'm fixated on that point now. And I'm paranoid as hell, as I know is obvious from my posts. I've completely lost my trust in ownership and their "will", as mvp calls it. It's nothing about Breslow, from the looks of it he's making some intelligent moves.
-
OK, you hit it out of the park with this comp.
-
In that case I wouldn't be surprised if Henry skips it altogether. And if Breslow tries to explain that there's still lots of time and possibilities, they've been trying their asses off, and other teams aren't doing that much either.
-
And I have this weird feeling that nothing big is going to happen.
-
Nothing to fight about - yeah right!
-
I don't disagree with your point, but I would take it in a slightly different direction in that these rumors really raise the specter of serious payroll-cutting for the sake of payroll-cutting. Yoshida is not an "expiring contract" like the "fire sale candidates" of the last two years were. Trading him with 4 years left on his contract would be a whole different deal. I'm just so suspicious right now that I can't help wondering which moves are to improve the team and which are to improve the bottom line.

Replace Beeks with Zack Littell and Jake Diekman. Both put up good numbers with TB this year. We hardly gave Littell a look, of course. This isn't about development but MLB coaching and analytics, I guess. Same with Brasier, who got much better with LAD when they got him to try a cutter.
-
Be my guest.
-
But ever other metric you can think of destroys him, value-wise.
-
Poor Chaim. He was a bit of a Hapless Harry when it came to building the big team.
-
Wow, that is not a rosy projection on Story's value. Sure it's right? Seems a bit low, frankly.
-
You, sir, are incorrigible. -
I've already said too much about that signing LOL
-
Sam Kennedy?
-
Man, if they trade both Story and Yoshida it would be f'king hilarious.
-
We've become conditioned to expect to be disappointed. I'm hopeful something happens but I'll be far from shocked if it doesn't.
-
They are getting really good at this lowering the bar thing.
-
Is that "wondering" as in "something"?
-
Bloom was supposed to do that, wasn't he?
-
He hasn't traded any prospects of note yet, though.
-
If that comes off I'll feel much better. I have no doubt that Brez is exploring all the options. What I'm afraid of is that they're going to decide that the prices are too high in money and/or prospects.
-
Yes, "more ground to make up". We finished 23 games behind Baltimore, 21 behind the Rays, and 11 behind the Jays. The team we finished closest to is the one that looks to be getting better. We should have no problem duplicating those results.
-
I'm so desperate for encouraging news or rumors that I've been checking out the SOSH forum. They seem to think the Sox are a good bet to sign Imanaga.
-
Dipre can't help himself though.
