I don't think the Red Sox should be taking on one year deals with pitchers unless they're super cheap ones.
-
We are prepared for anything and everything here.
-
If we sign Bauer, we might be closer to a contender than you think. Plus it would get the fans a little more interested. Plus it would be a multi-year signing, obviously. Not saying that's what's going to happen, but if the Sox do make a splash signing, that'd be the one. Pitching, baby. -
The last few offseasons have been slow. This one probably will be even more so. It's only December 2, though.
-
There have only been a handful of signings so far.
-
Players and agents are also well aware of the current economic realities and might be in a bigger hurry to sign this offseason, so some of the bargains might come earlier than expected.
-
I'm not sure it's a good idea to count on it. Every team needs pitching.
-
So pretty much like the "bargains" Chaim scooped up for 2020 then.
-
Because the rules changed pretty drastically.
-
Will any of them be pitchers though?
-
I'm pretty sure Bauer said he was now willing to sign a contract longer than a year.
-
E-Rod signs for 1 year and $8.3 million, avoiding arbitration.
-
A bit of Rays analytics mania involved there, perhaps.

Nobody ever predicts this stuff very accurately. Doesn't stop them from trying, though. It's like me and my weekly NFL picks vs. the spread. I fail almost every week and yet I go into the next week with renewed optimism.
-
What do you predict he signs for?
-
It's the ones who threaten to leave who never do.
-
RD is not the same level of player as Mookie, and his contract expectations should reflect that.
-
You are seriously f***ed in the head LOL
-
He's 24 - how many great seasons would you expect him to have by now?
-
It might take 12 years to know for sure.
-
For tax purposes, it's $15M. His AAV is $31M. The $16M we're paying is what counts for us for payroll tax. For the Dodgers it's $15M.
-
It was a very good return, but we can't ignore one little X factor. As it turned out, the Dodgers didn't merely acquire Betts for 1 year. They acquired him for 13 years, and precluded the Red Sox from ever seeing him in their uniform again.
-
Both points are debatable. He didn't trade Devers. As for the budget, we don't know how he'd handle that because it's been so long since he was in that position.
-
I mostly give DD a pass on trading prospects, because he only traded them for two things: 1) Pitching - which we needed desperately. 2) Deadline acquisitions.
