  1. This just in: Chaim says staying under the tax threshold is 'not a firm mandate'. I knew it!
  2. Yes, Mr. Hall Monitor. The idea is that if you show 'em enough money, they don't want to play elsewhere.
  3. There's definitely a budget, we just don't know how high it is.
  4. The pitching prospect we're getting is Frank German. Throws hard apparently, up to 98.
  5. Not wanting to pay Mookie $400 million had the biggest effect of all.
  6. Didn't see that coming.
  7. They have enough to retain anyone they want to, but not everyone they want to.
  8. That service time rule has been a sticking point for a long time now. Maybe they should address in the next CBA.
  9. Surely to God we'll sign a reliever with a few saves on his resume...
  10. We can want whatever we like. I want them to go over the threshold, personally. But yeah, it's their call...
  11. Yes, we're in a poor position. But I don't think moving Eovaldi or Richards to closer will do much to fix it.
  12. Realistically, all a Sox fan can ask for this year is a puncher's chance at a wild card spot. A couple more solid additions and we could be there.
  13. That's not the only reason we don't have enough starters. The Yankees are in much the same situation with Kluber and Taillon. They just have a lot more depth than we do.
  14. Why do you guys think we have the luxury of converting starters to closers? We don't have enough starters.
  15. If he's either going to be zero or 3+, then a projection of 1.6-1.8 makes sense. Maybe he gives you half a season pitching like a 3+. Porcello is much more likely to pitch a whole season. It's all guesswork, needless to say.
  16. The risk is that the Yankees count on Taillon to be their #2 starter and he pitches poorly or has health issues. It could cost them that way. Both the Yankees and Red Sox rotations are loaded with risky propositions.
  17. The second sentence was attempted humor.
  18. I think we might be talking about 2 different kinds of risk here.
  19. She's talking about the risks with Taillon's performance/health status after missing most of the last 2 seasons.
  20. At the end of 2022, JD, Eovaldi and Price's 16 mill all come off the books. The only long term contracts on the books after 2022 are Sale and Bogey, and Bogey has an opt-out.
  21. They're going over, I think. Bloom has been working on JH to loosen up and have fun.
  22. Our roster is kind of a squiggly shape.
  23. You're wrong about that, harm. Chris Sale and Mookie Betts have reduced AAV's because of deferred money. They do a present value calculation now.
