Riley was several years away from free agency, but his deal could be used as a sort of baseline for Devers. If JH is willing to pay Devers what he wants, maybe $325 million or whatever, that will make it pretty damn hard to keep Bogey too. If they don't make a very serious effort it's going to yet another PR disaster. I think they've had enough of them lately.
-
Some guys do. They're in the minority, but they do exist.
-
If it's a big enough contract, $1 million will probably be outweighed by those other considerations. If reports are accurate, Theo closed the deal with Lester by bumping their offer a whopping $20 million higher than the Red Sox best offer. Again if reports are accurate, the Yankees closed the deal with Cole by adding a ninth year at $36 million. Two other teams were willing to go to 8 years at $36 million. Sometimes you really have to beat the crap out of the next best offer to make the player feel truly comfortable they're making the right decision!
-
And of course we have this cute little theory floating around that what Devers does will depend on what happens with Bogey, because they're so tight. The cynical among us, of course, will dismiss that with some humorous remark about the money being the decisive factor.
-
Why is it necessarily hypocrisy? Why isn't it just the mood swings of a season where the Sox went from leading the Wild Card to the front office throwing in the towel on the season in about a month?
-
That's one way to look at it. The AL East has kicked us all year, no question about that. The injuries were pretty brutal too. Especially Sale, Eovaldi (still not 100%), Wacha, Story, and Kike. And obviously those guys being injured exposed our lack of depth and other flaws.
-
It doesn't take long for things to go sour in this game, though.
-
It certainly looks that way now. But I think the article by Speier laid it out pretty well. Bloom decided he was only going to trade JD or Eovaldi if they were offered a big return, and it didn't happen.
-
We sucked before he was traded and we suck after he was traded.
-
As I've said, STORK never lets facts get in the way.
-
So you agree that Valdez is too old for his level?
-
I can't even understand half of what STORK says. Can you decipher what he said about the prospects we got from Houston?
-
Yes, tradition is pretty much out the window.
-
The shortstop market is so hard to predict. Last offseason Seager got $325 million while Correa got $105 million. Did that actually make sense? Of course not. It can be totally random who cashes in and who doesn't.
-
Cora and Bloom do seem to have something in common in that they have a penchant for being experimental in a risky way...
-
When was the last time moon said anything specifically about you? If you can find anything in the last week I'll admit I'm wrong.
-
Well, you're the one with a vendetta against another poster, one who has you on ignore and says nothing about you.
-
You really need to dial it back with the personal stuff.
-
For me the gimmickry really started when they added the second wild card.
-
He got Winckowski for Benintendi. That could pay off.
-
Probably not. Downs has some pop and he has speed and he will take some walks. But if he can't cut way down on his K's somehow, he's not an MLB player.
-
A possibility, yes. A prized prospect, no.

I have no problem blaming the bullpen 100% on Bloom. If you're going to go cheap, you better make some great pickups. He only made one, Schreiber. Diekman was a terrible choice. Et cetera. -
All true, but the Mets are trending a lot better.

With Houck out we're down to two good relievers, Whitlock and Schreiber. And the main objective with those two now is to keep them healthy for next year. The horror, the horror...
