What winters were the biggest spending winters? 1) in terms of most overall money spent? 2) in terms of most yearly average salary signed?
-
Well, that's where we are not sure about what Kennedy meant. He may very well have been hinting at staying under the line again, and that would mean about $28M to spend, not the $40M we spent. last winter... $10M Richards $8M Ottavino $7M Kike (x 2) $6M Perez $3M Renfroe $3M Marwin $2M Andriese $1M Sawamura (x 2) (BTW, we could trade Renfroe and Vaz and add $14M to the $28M and get close to last winter's spending budget. We can find the next Renfroe for $3M. Or, we can DFA Plawecki and trade Renfroe and get to about a $38M spending budget.)

The last couple years, you couldn't stop gushing over Urshela. You give up, real quick, on your guys.

Berries signs 7 year extension with Blue Jays

I think he said all deals have been team friendly, so far. -
I'm going off your statement that Kennedy said the "same blueprint" as last winter. Last winter, we spent $40M.
-
He was a back-up. His PAs were not restricted by his age. Besides, not laying a lot means he has more innings left in him as a catcher.
-
I meant Montas or Gray.
-
I do think adding a SS, this winter, is highly unlikely.
-
Good point.
-
We may sign just 1-2 FAs and trade for 1-2 key players. I've always like Jon Gray. If we sign Matz and Gray, we'd keep Houck and Whitlock in the pen and not need to add much there. Sign Iggy for 2B/SS and maybe trade for Trivino. I could also see us trade for Montas and Trivino and sign Matz and Iggy. 4 key additions.
-
Baez would be a great Sox addition, but I seriously doubt we are looking at SSs.
-
I've never cared much about a lot of K's, as long as the guy gets hits or walks enough. I hate DPs more. I hate mediocre or poor D at SS.

Will the Sox give Eduardo Rodriguez a Qualifying Offer?

After I wrote this in June... LOL. -
That's kind of the point I was getting at. Signing Matz instead of ERod in a vacuum looks bad, but it's all about the total money spent.
-
I've been saying 3-4, but I was answering Old Red who swears no big deals, so I geared it to that perspective. (He probably thinks the R Iglesias deal is "big.") My point was about his "blueprint" comment. The blueprint was spending $40M, last winter. If we spend the same on just 3 players, someone has to be big. Even 3 at $13.3M/yr is probably bigger than Old Red envisions.
-
You know my answer: defense. Be pre-emptive on losing Bogey. When Mayer is ready, Baez can move to 2B.
-
It's hard to know their views on Wong, but that makes the most sense. It's highly doubtful we carry 4 catchers on the 40. Vaz ___/Plawecki Wong R Hernandez
-
MLBTR estimates $20M x 5 for Baez. To me, that's one of the best value deals out there. Trade Bogey or move him to 2B or 3B (Devers to 1B and trade Dalbec or casas for pitching).
-
Wouldn't Seager play SS, Torres 2B and LeMahieu 1B? (Voit in the wings) Why Olsen?

This is blatant plagiarism. -

It looks that way, unless there is something with the physical. -
If we have a $40M winter spending budget like last winter's "blueprint," and we spend $9M x 3 on Matz instead of $18.4M on ERod, what will matter most is not just how well Matz will do vs ERod, but what we spend the other $9M on- the amount saved by ERod not taking the QO. Are we a better team, if we sign $14M x 4 R Iglesias $9M x 3 Matz $9M x 3 Graveman $5M x 2 Y Gomes (-$2M nontender Plawecki) $3.5M x 2 Iggy
-
I think we trade or non-tender Plawecki. We may go with Wong or make a trade for a defense only catcher.
-
$60M/3 is pretty "secure," even when compared to $77M/5.
-
It's not a strong FA class for what we need: pitching.
