Even if we decide not to go over the tax line, don't you think we will come close to it? Let's assume the spend to about $5-7M under the line. That's still a lot of money to spend, and the need areas are greatly reduced, no matter how pessimistic one might look at it. SP SP CF Depth MI (I don't think we need pen help, unless the plan is to use all our long men as SP'ers, again.)

I guess he's looking ahead.

Mookie Betts and David Price have been traded to Dodgers
moonslav59 replied to Jasonbay44's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
I get it, and it still hurts. It's hard to know what would have happened had he gone to free agency as a Red Sox player. The whole COVID thing might have messed things up, but I have to think the Dodgers would have offered a lot, and they would not have lost Verdugo, Wong and Downs to offer the world for him. How high would have been reasonable for the Sox to match or better the highest offer? If Betts meant what he said, you'd think we'd just have to match or come close for him to return. I tend to believe Mookie, but I do think players would want to give the impression they have always been "loyal" to the team they are on. If it would have cost $360/12 to get him, I'm not sure that would be a good thing for the team, in the long run. Personally, I'd have done it. -

DD's team sucks! LOL
-
I think it's like $3M a year.
-
Many of those who declined were expected to decline due to aging and recent trends. Many who got hurt had long histories of getting hurt. True, the Yanks had some bad luck, but even with average luck, they'd be near .500 or a little above.
-
Weird, right? The whole JBJ for Renfore thing was supposed to be about D.
-
I agree. I can see us spending very little on everyday players. Maybe look for a 1 year CF'er. C: Wong and McGuire 1B: Casas (Dalbec AAA) 2B: Urias & Reyes 3B: Devers SS: Story LF: Duran/ Refsnyder (Yoshida) CF: ______/ Rafaela RF: Verdugo (Abreo AAA) DH: Yoshida I hope this also means we spend more on starting pitching.
-
I liked de la Rosa more, at the time.
-
Is that counting what MIA pays towards Stanton's deal?
-
All the more satisfying.
-
Woo got smacked down. Drohan is really making his meteoric rise in the rankings look totally like smoke and mirrors. (His ERA is now 6.00 in AAA.) Woo had just 4 hits: 1-3 w BB Rafaela & Abreu 1-2 w BB Kavadas POR won 2-1 Gambrell went 6 (3H, 1ER, 3BB, 5K) 3.42 ERA Jordan 1-3 w HR and BB Yorke 3-4 w 2B GRE lost 8-4 Anthony 2-4 w 3B & 2B & BB Teel & Paulino 2-4

I hope you do. The Judge-Ohtani contracts will strangle you for a decade.
-
When it always seems to benefit the Yanks, I think conspiracy.
-
It would mean... Games 3B: 157 Chapman/ 5 Devers 1B: 142 Devers/ 20 Casas DH: 140 Casas/ 10 Devers/12 Yoshida

We are now over 75% through the 2023 season, and here are the comps to 2021 and 2022: OPS '21>'22>'23 C: .686> .694> .683 1B .761> .683> .821 2B .777> .724> .654 3B .909> .856> .839 SS .822> .815> .652 LF .695> .694> .824 CF .678> .671> .784 RF .803> .661> .765 DH .906>.763> .805 Pitching ERA- 94>104>96 WHIP 1.38>1.35>1.30

Players and teams are always going through ups and downs. That is what should be expected, and not for trends to keep crending in the same direction.
-
Urias has a longer history, but I agree: it's great having both. Oue 2B slot seems filled, nicely, for 2024.
-
Jansen's 29 saves and just 3 Blown Saves can be viewed as the major reason our record has flipped from 2022, and then some!!! 2023: 36 saves 10 blown saves 78% 2022: 39 saves 29 blown saves 57%
-
Devers is starting to make that extension look more worthwhile. His D has hurt the team, but being the Yankee killer, alone is almost worth that money. Updated team OPS leaders: .877 Devers (Can he get to .900?) .844 Turner (Can he pass JD, at .856, now?) .836 Casas (Can he keep his post ASB numbers up?) .828 Duran (Can he break yet another slump?) .817 Yoshida (Can he turn this around?) .815 Reyes (Has this all been a mirage?) .795 Duvall (Can he get back over .800?)
-
So, they knew he was paid off to fix the game for the Yanks?
-
I'm just tired of the relentless pessimism. I'm not sure I have ever heard a positive thing from you, unless it's after the game is over.
-
Maybe this is the real reason they met with Boone.

Man, we sweep the Yanks, but are still 3 games out. We gained on TOR and HOU, but we still have a lot of ground to make up. 70-55 HOU 69-55 SEA 69-55 TOR -0.5 66-58 BOS -3.0 (-2.5 TOR) (-3.5 HOU) Next 3 series: BOS: 4@HOU/ 3 vLAD/ 3 v HOU SEA: 3 vCWS/ 3 vKCR/ 3 v OAK HOU: 4 vBOS/ 3@DET/ 3@BOS TOR: 3@BAL/ 3 vCLE/ 3 vWSH In some ways, our destiny is in our own hands. HOU is struggling, thanks to SEA, so we need to keep the pedal floored.
