I think that the clear majority of players would say that they are pretty well compensated. How much of the pie should they be entitled to? I don't really even care but if I am the owner I would like to have a clear say as to how much I am going to pay the people working for me. Maybe owning a business like this is tougher than we think. Those players are very well paid employees. If the player's compensation for the work they do - they do not own the business- is adequate which I think it is, that is the way it goes. Maybe some day they can all own the business but for the time being they are very well paid pampered worker bees. I have no sympathy for either side. Basically i think that is ridiculous how important entertainment has become to us. f*** them all!!!

I've got to chime in here because I'm really bored I guess. I'm hoping that Bucholtz never again appears in a Sox uniform. He had his day and his opportunity. Move on and far away. Don't care how cheap or even how much of a low risk he might seem to be. Run away.

Like Devers much MVP? lol If wasn't for that Bill James projection I would be with you. Just kidding. We will need his 30 home runs.

Nuttin Notin Nuttin - As in nothing happening.

Just watched the video tribute to the 86 Celtics. That really was the best bb team that I ever saw play. The 80's in general saw some amazingly talented players with very special skill sets. They weren't all Celtics either! I have a new found respect for the Chief as well!

To date I have seen no reports at all about any specific offers made by any other team. I have heard the names of 3 teams that might have or have had interest but nothing from any source making me think that he has received any offer to rival what Boston has made. It is possible that I just am not paying attention.

You think harmony is starting to reach a little - I'm still trying to figure out why it seems to be such an engaging topic for harmony.
-
If Hanley Ramirez is healthy and proves it by hitting consistently for power over the course of this season, I would hope that people would not be too concerned about the vesting option. If he is hitting, he is what we need.
-
Oh I get what you are suggesting this time around. You think that there might be a bunch of mystery teams waiting to pounce in addition to really the only other two that even seem remotely like JD suitors. Hmm - I'll have to really think about that one.
-
Yup - Giants (likely not anymore) - Blue Jays (likely not) - Arizona possibly but only because that is where he wants to be unless we all of a sudden hear that Grienke has been moved.
-
And in a year that he was about to be a free agent. It is a devastating injury. Very sad - he was having a great year.
-
You actually might be right. Some bottom feeder organization may just get a chance to steal JD Martinez if the Red Sox move away from him. He is the one who stands to lose the most if the Red Sox decide they have waited long enough. Kind of looks like a very risky game that is being played not really for the Sox.
-
I wish that I could have said this. It is how I feel.
-
I'm with you all the way on this one. DD works in a field of which I am not familiar and he has to know something here that we don't. I just can't help but think that he absolutely believes that JD will sign with us. Unless he is just absolutely convinced that our current team as assembled will compete for a championship, which I really doubt he believes, I don't see any other explanation. Personally I was ready to move away from this plan yesterday.
-
I feel your pain and I agree with you.
-
By the way, you would be interested in the interview with Britton from the P Journal that I heard earlier. Swihart will be on the opening day roster unless he gets traded which is very doubtful. Third catcher + super sub in general. Corner infield and (gasp) maybe some outfield. You already know I'm sure that he says he is very healthy and ready to go. I think that they are very curious to see what he can do. Me too!
-
lol!!! That is what I am trying to say and I just couldn't spit it out.
-
Great post CP - I'm with you! Has it really come to this? In a rut and talking to myself.
-
I'm pretty sure that neither side is going to set a deadline but my belief is that JD Martinez faces by far the greater risk here. If the Red Sox decide to move away from him (which I hope they do), and head in a different direction, he likely will be screwed. The Red Spx will still be just fine if they go for a little less power and a pitching upgrade. Martinez stands a chance to lose a lot of money.
-
Wait - really Moon. There is no other team really looking at JD. You know that. Because of the stupidity surrounding his negotiation it is possible that he falls into someone else's lap at a cut rate price though. I'm going on record here as saying that I am absolutely ok with that.
-
Absolutely - not interested. Bringing in a known PED user and changing the name of Yawkey Way, would seem to be the height of hypocrisy. Not going to happen.
-
It's been about Boston and Arizona in reality all the time. Boston and Arizona repeat - I really wish that dd would go in a different direction. Let Martinez take less to stay and play where he wants to. Screw him - He is not worth the $ he seeks but none of them in reality are.
-
I agree with you. I do not think that they have any other offer of substance and at some point it just looks to be a little too much like just good old fashioned greed to me. I would be very tempted if I were the organization to move away from him.
-
Boston and Arizona - it is all a load of crap at this point. Hey - maybe JD is prepared to sit the season out if he isn't offered what he thinks that he is worth. Just kidding there.
-
lol - Since the extension of the playoff season (second mini-season maybe), I bet it is getting harder and harder to find guys that can pitch effectively from late March until November. Maybe the answer is we just don't let them pitch until the first of July then take our chances.
