cots has $119M on the tax budget, which includes benefits. Last year's opening day was $84M, but it ended up over $97M. Spotrac has $114M.

Adding future trade capital.
-
Should that have been in green? Phillips Valdez and Weber did fine from the pen.
-
They'll trade him right before he declines.
-
True, but early on, they had some top picks and got David Price with one and Longoria for a 3rd pick overall.

Here's the list: 2003: Matt Murton & Abe Alvarez for Cliff Floyd 2005: Ellsbury Lowrie for OCab (made that trade the deal that just kept giving- see 2014) Hansen & Bowden for DLowe (Later, Hansen helped us get J Bay) Buchholz & Egan for Pedro 2006: Bard & K Johnson for Damon Clay & Bates for Mueller 2007: Hagadone for Gonzo (Part of trade that got us VMart) R Dent for Foulke 2008: B Price for Gagne 2010: Vitek & Ranaudo for Wagner (Later, Ranaudo was traded for Robbie Ross.) Workman & Brentz for J Bay (Later, Workman & Hembree got us Pivetta) 2011: Barnes & Owens for VMart JBJ & Swihart for Beltre (Later, Swi was traded for Marcus Wilson) 2012: B Johnson & P Light for Papelbon (Light was later traded for Abad.) Ben 2014: Kopech for Ellsbury (Later, helped us get Sale.)

That was the era whereby richer teams gamed the system to add comp picks. The Rays mastered it as low spending team, often trading for players who would have comp picks attached just for the picks. In 2011, they had 9 picks in the first round (top 60 picks) and 2 in the 2nd for 10 in the top 89 picks!- one was Blake Snell, but nobody else did great. In 2013, they got Stanek for losing BJ Upton. They really did not use all those draft picks very well.
-
Yes, I looked just for that reason: $63.8M value over 5 years - $31M salary $32.8 Value
-
I remember we got Vitek and Ranaudo with his comp picks.
-
It's turned into how many votes it takes to show who is better than first or second ballot entries.
-
Personally, I think there are too many- not too few.
-
Now, ... 32.8 Springs 0.0 Mazza 0.7 R Hernandez
-
So are Combs and Pennock. I think that was the point.
-
No matter what you do, someone will complain. Add 500 more players to the HOF, and people will complain about #501 and 502.
-
You can choose your own way to evaluate a GM give the task and circumstances he was given. Make way for Yoshida, Jansen, Martin, Kluber, Turner, McGuire and the extended Devers.

RHern had a pretty high BTV value: 13.8 RHern 0.1 Sogard for 0.2 Mazza 0.0 Springs
-
The O's finally made a move that looks to improve on a team that looked poised to take a step up in 2023. I'm no expert on O's winter moves, but it seems they still lost more talent since the deadline than gained.
-
I'm now surprised the A's would not take DHern, Barnes and $9M for Irvin.
-
He rested these guys way too much in ST'ings... no wait...
-
My lists were not meant to be viewed as order from best to worst, but I do think the Whitlock moves was a very good one, and maybe Bloom's best. I'm not sure we make the playoffs in '21 without him. 2021-2022 Red Sox (100+ IP): 152 IP in 2 seasons - 3rd on team 2.73 ERA (163 ERA+)- 1st 3.07 FIP- 2nd 1.06 WHIP- 1st 5.1 K/BB- 1st 3.0 fWAR- T3 bWAR 6.0 Nate 5.2 Pivetta 4.7 Whitlock 3.3 Wacha 3.2 Houck
-
Maybe my best and worst 12... Best Whitlock Rule 5 Schreiber MLFA Wacha signing Pivetta trade Kike signing Hill signing Renfroe signing Deadline trades: Schwarber, Iggy, Shaw, Robles, McGuire trade Strahm signing Refsnyder & Kelly MLFA Arroyo Waivers Ottavini & German trade Worst Renfroe for JBJ Bogey slap in face offer Paxton signing Barnes extension Diekman signing Richards signing Marwin signing Perez signings (I & II) Andriese signing Not getting under the tax line in '22 Not having at least a mini fire sale in summer '22 Spending most of the '23 budget on DH/LF/1B Hard to Grade/Blame but many will see as bad Betts for Dugo, Wong & Downs The Bogey walk Beni for Cordero, Wink and 3 others I probably forgot some doozies.
-
It's one thing to trade Betts, when we all knew he was great. it's another to trade a guy just about everyone thought should be DFA'd. Criticizing that trade is all hindsight. It's not to say a mistake was not made, but this one was understandable, to a greater extent than the Renfroe, beni and other trades.
-
Many feel Abreu was the better of the two in the Vaz return, but this kid can hit!
-
I'd put it closer to 50 IP more for Kluber.
