I don't think so. I think the new AAV for tax purposes would be $24M/2 or $12M a year.

LMAO. You just bashed me for paying attention to this type of thing. You crack me up. Also, you listed a group of names we might want to sign. notin listed two specific names we should sign. You can' see the difference? C'Mon man!

Cots: Paxton: 22:$6M, 23:$4M player option or 23-24 club options, to be exercised or declined simultaneously, at annual salaries of $13M plus performance bonuses earned in 2022 2022 performance bonuses: $250,000 each for 12, 14, 16, 18 starts annual performance bonuses for 2023-24, if options are exercised: $250,000 each for 20, 22, 24, 26 starts, less 2022 bonuses earned I'm a bit confused about the Paxton contract and options. It is my understanding he counted as $10M on the tax line, this year and earned $6M in 2022. That mean's he gets $4M, if the option is declined, right? If so, that means the choice is basically: $4M to go away or $26M/2 The net difference makes it essentially $24M/2.

I put "non tender" next to Brasier and Cordero. Chang and Almonte barely get paid more than the min, so they are not adding much to the total. We may end up replacing Brasier's $2.3M estimated arb number with someone like previous additions Andriese and Diekman. I'm fine with saying the starting point is about $130M. (That is also assuming no Paxton option.)
-
Yes, the rare good ones- agreed.

He was basically a placeholder for the kids. His time is up.
-
The extra year should bring down the AAV. $196/7 is probably very close to what he gets, but to me, even my suggested $160M/6 is probably too much, but acceptable. There has to be a top limit, and I think that exceeds it. (I might go $175-180M/7, so that offer is not absurd, to me- not like Saeger's, last winter.)
-
It's been repeated many times since then. I thought you were the one keeping track of who comes up with the best ideas, first, but I guess it's only the rare ones you stumble upon.
-
As in trading for a pitcher, right?
-
0.0 UZR/150 suggests his defense is questionable. Career +0.9 suggests he is not bad.
-
That's more than I would pay, so if he gets that, I guess he's elsewhere, next year.
-
True. The always seem to protect less than we think they will, and often protect one we didn't figure they would protect. Who is the last Sox player drafted in Rule 5? Last year, we protected Downs, Bello, Crawford and Wink. Many felt we might protect Ward and or Jimenez.
-
That's the guy I think we end up with.
-
When it comes to new spending, it seems that way.
-
The ones i put in red were just players I thought were close for consideration. I do not think Bonaci, Polito or Santos are protected. Abreu is maybe the closest one not on your list, IMO.
-
'cept he was first by weeks.
-
You missed a grand opportunity to talk about yourself in the 3rd person. You are slkipping. BTW, notin stole the Montero idea from you? Whodathunkdat?
-
Skilful editing on your part, maybe?
-
I keep hearing this same thing, every October.
-
I like that idea, and Houck or Whitlock could fill in, if he gets hurt or flails.
-
Where did I say you did say that? I'm saying nobody is disagreeing with your position that Houck is NOT a lockdown closer. I just added that nobody thinks Houck is a lockdown closer. Man, even when i agree with you, you go off.
-
Plus $15M for DJ to be the utility guy.
-
We know your position. I'm not sure anybody is disagreeing. I certainly am not. I don't hear anyone saying he is a "lock down closer."
-
I wouldn't be surprised, either way, especially when you factor in the team's reluctance to spend big on RP'ers. I just don't think it's a "sure bet" he is already slotted as our closer.
