I won't let you forget! (LOL)

The Bogey & Sale extensions began in 2020, but yes, no big FA signings.
-
It's been a rebuild 2-3 years. I won't use the "C" word for fear of setting off some sensitive posters. It's also hard to ignore big extensions, when considering the timing of big FA signings. Among the top 120 Total Contract Value Signings in MLB history, the Sox have 8. These 8 players were signed under Henry's watch: 19. Price '16-'22 43. AGon '12-'20 47. Sale '20-'24 51. Crawford '11-'17 76. Bogey '20-'25 86. Pedey '14-'21 86. JDM '18-'22 107. Pablito '15-'19 (Other big ones include Dice-K, Rusney, HRam, JD Drew, Beckett, paying Renteria about $40M for 1 year and the cost of Moncada.) Henry does have a history of stepping back from spending big and then wham, he jumps back in big time. It's interesting to note that out of these top 8 contracts, two began in 2020 (not that long ago), and 7 of them srated after or ran up to 2019 or beyond. I remember people thinking the winter before 2013 was too much bargain hunting and not enough big splash moves, and that worked out okay.

I’m driving the Devers forever bandwagon. Climb aboard!
-
The RBIs are affected by the OBPs of then people in front of you. MB bats first a lot.
-
If I had to bet, I'd bet on Devers bat, but it's real close. Ages 21-24: Devers: .279 102 337 in 2104 PAs (.279 34 112 per 162 w 45 2B+3B and 6 SB) .338 OBP/.513 SLG/ .850 OPS M Betts: .292 78 310 in 2309 PAs (.292 25 99 per 162 w 50 2B+3B & 26 SB) .351 OBP/.488 SLG/.839 OPS

I’m not getting it.
-
Yes, way better D. Baserunning, too
-
I'd give Devers 10+ years (close to $300M), but Mookie was worth more. I'd give Bogey 5-7 years, but no more than $25M per year, which I think would not be enough to keep him after this year.

Ignored?
-
I understand and agree. This post was about robo umps, but no biggie.
-
Mayer has 26 in the rookie league.
-
If a deal was made during the freeze, there is no rush to announce it quickly and risk exposure.
-
Will MLB ask for phone records to see who talked to who and when?
-
Was it seriously discussed? Is this considered one of the short notice rule changes owners bargained for, so maybe it can be added at any time without the union needed?
-
When is the earliest we might see Mayer with the big club?
-
They are afraid of being accused of secret deal-making over the freeze period.
-
That's the only anti-itch cream I see.
-
Minus the difference between JBJ and Renfroe, right? Also, possibly a minus a minus only adds to the $20M.
-
He may not go anywhere at that price. The guy gets hurt, a lot. I'm not seeing why he thinks he's worth Lindor or Seager money, both of whom I think were overpaid to begin with.
-
No, still a boatload of boatloads of riches.
-
I said it must be, not that I think those 2 prospects are worth $20M.
-
The trade was not about him as the centerpiece on the return, in fact, he's the last guy on the list- in terms of value. He was included to offset the financial cost to the other Phillies. The trade was about getting a young catcher, who is better than anyone in our current system, getting a RH'd hitting OF'er who may be better than Duran and a very nice pitching prospects- all while saving money that might allow us to sign a better FA. Segura also fills a stop-gap role at SS or 2B.
-
I'm figuring he can still play SS, of we put Kike in CF and he can play 2B, and we sign a SS to bridge to Mayer.
-
I've said all along, this must be about the prospects, and that Bloom must see something, the prospect rankers don't see. $12M in a lot of money. The $8M buyout for 2023 means JBJ will be here for 2023 as well.
