Dave shouldn't get full credit for it. 2020 was a splendid tank job.
-
Yes, and assuming the other team will take him for 2022 as well.
-
You can't really go too far over and expect to be able to get back under. If you go over by $5 million, you'd have to be able to unload guys with total AAV's of at least $15 million at the deadline to recover the $5 million.
-
Not if they sign Odorizzi and Ozuna, though. We'd be over by $25-30 mill.
-
If this is all we're doing, I might have to jump in with the crowd saying things like "How lovely-trading Mookie freed up room for Garrett Richards, Adam Ottavino and Kike Hernandez!"
-
If that's the case, it's pretty close to a punt.
-
According to Cot's, the Yankees are paying $1 million of the $3 million deferred signing bonus. And the 2021 luxury tax number for the Red Sox is $7.15 million.

Another day in Snoreville.
-
Butchers might work though.
-
He signed with the Reds?
-
Kluber and Taillon are massive X factors. They might both work out, or one, or neither. So anything between 0 WAR and 7+ WAR.
-
They're not done. Stay tuned.
-
I'll take the under.
-
lol
-
Some guys obviously won't be signing until after spring training starts.
-
Sure, not saying it's a big deal to anybody, really. It's ridiculous sums any way you slice it up. But as a bean-counter, I do see the value of Betts's contract as less than the value of Gerrit Cole's.
-
Chaim Bloom's extraordinarily patient, meticulous and disciplined approach can do a number on our heads, I have to admit.
-
You're not a believer that the present value of money is a real thing, I guess.
-
I never thought it was a foregone conclusion. I thought it was a legitimate risk. We'll never know how it would have played out without a pandemic. Also, as you know, while technically it's the largest contract in history, with the deferrals the present value is lower than a few others.
-
And you know what fans are like. They're okay with trading prospects until/unless the prospects turn out to be stars with other teams. Then they're screaming bloody murder.
-
Coors Field - yikes. They need to move the fences out or something.
-
This was a nice salary dump acquisition by the Cards. They didn't give up any premier prospects. So I'm sure there are no moaning Cards fans. If they gave up a blue chipper it might be a different story.
-
What an unusual transaction. The Cards gave Arenado an opt-out after 2022, to go with the one he already had after 2021.
-
You're so thoughtful.
-
Pedroia's autobiography Born to Play is a good read. Came out way back in 2010.
