The puzzle is how we can be one of the teams still linked to Ozuna, if JH doesn't want to go over the $210 M.
-
Gotta be Dalbec. Bringing back Moreland for a platoon might be nice.
-
Sure, but nobody knew who Brock Holt was when we traded for him. And Kike Hernandez is hardly a non-entity, having played in 58 postseason games with the Dodgers over the last 6 years.
-
Maybe it means JH doesn't care that much about the tax this year.
-
So let me understand: you're trying to make a connection between willing to pay Enrique Hernandez $14 million, and not being willing to pay Mookie Betts $400 million?
-
Hopefully the new CBA comes up with a better system than this one, where spending a few extra mill on your team can be seen as a disaster.
-
Another way to look at it, though: Right now our tax payroll is about $186 mill, with $24 mill to spend before hitting $210 mill. If we spend $29 mill, we're $5 mill over, which would result in $1 mill tax. So the tax would represent a miniscule fraction of total cost. Obviously it would also put us into the Year 2 tax rates for 2022, if the CBA doesn't make any fundamental changes to the structure.
-
Maybe. Who knows? The current CBA expires at the end of 2021 so we don't know what the rules will be for 2022.
-
If we assume JH refuses to pay any tax this year...
-
I think the only meaningful criticism is that it seems like an overpay in annual salary. But Profar got 3 @ $7 mill. Certain profiles get paid better some years. Supply and demand stuff, I guess.
-
Looking forward to seeing how much the deferred money lowers the AAV. Which is a little sick, I know.

Hernandez actually played a lot the last few seasons.
-
But would you call it a thriving market, with 60% of free agents unsigned on Jan. 23?
-
Rosenthal says some of the money is deferred, which would lower the AAV a bit.

Who Should the Sox Have Play 2B in 2020?

Of course. But if you're playing the percentages, how many guys like that are there? Or, percentage-wise, how many actual contracts of 6 years or longer have paid dividends?

Interest Kings!

300 innings converts to 180 innings in 2021 values.

It's finally loosening up. No one has taken any crazy bargain deals yet, that's for sure. -

Recency Rocks. -
Bass just signed with Marlins. Very fishy.

Too many RIP's these days. RIP Hank.

There's still plenty of time and players out there, and money available. If they continue to do jack until Opening Day, not many Sox fans will be happy.
