  1. It would be pitiful if that's the case.
  2. I think it'll be malpractice if they don't add that solid SP'er.
  3. They probably win 3 more games, according to WAR, but they also stay under the tax threshold.
  4. We have one guy-one-Pivetta, that we have a fair idea what to expect from him. The rest are all major question marks in some way.
  5. I think the issue with the innings for the guys you mentioned isn't health concerns, it's the fact they are inexperienced and unproven at the MLB level.
  6. And we're aware of that, but the Red Sox front office knew the only way Sox fans would accept a rebuild is if they were also trying to compete at the same time, so that's exactly what they promised to do. This offseason has been nothing short of bewildering. Where is that starting pitcher Bloom promised, the one with leadership, upside and innings? If he doesn't produce one, he looks like a ******** artist, an incompetent, or both. Red Sox fans don't forget when you say things like that.
  7. In my opinion, the biggest gripe Red Sox fans have about ownership right now isn't greed. It's incompetence. It's okay to make money when you're providing a good product.
  8. As we've discussed before, it seems to become a matter of ego more than anything. Plus the Players Association encourages players to get as much money as possible.
  9. I think those really long term deals look smart now but a time will come they won't look nearly as smart. It's a buy-now-pay-later mentality.
  10. What does your finish have to do with IFA additions? (I don't know the rules.)
  11. Letting players like Betts and Bogaerts go isn't so much because of the budget, it's because of the risk of getting stuck with albatross contracts.
  12. No, even the Raiders have to draw the line somewhere...
  13. Wendle is projected to make $7 million in his final year of arbitration this year.
  14. We'd all prefer Andrus at short and Story at second, but Chaim never listens to us. I wonder how much Andrus is looking for.
  15. But it has to be approved by the league, right?
  16. It's the truth. Devers has youth on his side, but in terms of actual productivity, Betts has virtually doubled him.
  17. Under what circumstances can an acquiring team be given a window like that?
  18. There is one indisputable good reason not to pay luxury tax every year, though - some of the penalties are losses of draft picks and international pool money, so it's not just costing money but prospects.
  19. They've allowed 13/14 year contracts to Stanton, Harper, Tatis Jr.
  20. All Mets Dollars have to be multiplied by 1.9 now.
  21. We didn't unload all of the $60 mill, of course. We were still on the hook for $16 mill of Price's salary. So the net increase in AAV would have been $44 mill. Talent-wise we'd have Betts instead of Verdugo.
  22. Put it this way: he's well aware there are a lot of Looney Tunes like us in Red Sox Nation.
  23. Personally, I don't have time to get everyone's opinion. Plus I think you get a pretty good range of opinions here.
  24. The Dodgers are cutting payroll this year, though. They let go of T Turner, J Turner, and Bellinger.
