The one year part was so low risk, I'm surprised no GM took the deal.
-
Can we all agree, only the Jays have improved from last year in the AL East, so far?
-
Yates signs with Jays. MLBTR also reports... The Red Sox “were ready to move on” two-time AL Cy Young-winning righty Corey Kluber before he agreed to a one-year, $11MM deal with the archrival Yankees last week, but they might have wanted to structure his contract differently, Alex Speier of the Boston Globe reports. With the Red Sox unlikely to contend in 2021, Speier suggests their preference may have been to sign Kluber to a one-year pact with an option. Kluber is a Massachusetts resident, but with New York more likely to push for a World Series in 2021, he found the Yankees to be a more appealing pick than the Red Sox.

Just give us a tidbit, NOW! (lol)
-
He'll be the first player, ever, to get paid by 2 teams.
-
Thank you.
-
I'd be happy with 11, 26 (or 27), Kike & Pillar.

1. Bauer 2. Realmuto 4. Ozuna (if we trade Beni) 8. Gregorius 10. Tanaka 11. Odorizzi 14. J Turner 15. Semien 17. Simmons 18. Pederson 20. N Cruz 21. JBJ 22. Paxton 23. Walker 24. Richards 25. K Wong 26. Hand 27. Rosenthal 30. La Stella 19 of the top 30 still unsigned. Things may not be as bad as it seems.

Astros to Re-Sign Brantley -MLBTR
-
I will be surprised and upset, if we don't spend between $20-30M by the deadline, especially if we don't add a decent to good SP'er.
-
Agreed. They also had Chatham at 4.9 before dropping him to 2 point something and now 1.9. Here's my take on their "mistakes:" Over-valued: 18.4 Dalbec: I like Dalbec, but maybe 14 is more reasonable. 14 Duran: I'd say 10-11. 7.6 Yorke: maybe 3-4 6.0 Chavis: maybe 2-3 5.0 Lugo: maybe 2-3 4.3 Groome: maybe maybe 1.5-2.5 2.9 Brasier: maybe 1-2 Under-valued 8.9 D Hern: I'd put him near 11-12 2.3 Seabold: maybe 3-4.5 1.6 Bello: they moved him from 1.0. I'd put him over 2.5 1.2 Barnes: I know, just 1 year left, but still... (2.5+) Weird, how as a Sox fan, I see more over-valued than under.
-
Nothing said seems shocking or surprising to me. We knew we were not going all in, this winter. We knew that long ago.
-
I can't see the prices of pitchers like Odorizzi going lower, next winter, so why not make a move than makes us better in 2021, as well as 2022 and 2013. No long term risk. No $20M+ cost per year (maybe not even $14M x 3). Just do it, Bloom!
-
I'd trade two, if we had 'em.
-
One can argue Verdugo, Downs, Wong and whoever we get with the extra budget space may approach the value of Betts over the next 10 years, but if we don't spend the money every year, it will be much harder to say we made out okay on the deal. Either that, or Betts gets hurt or declines earlier than expected. Verdugo is looking like a very valuable piece. If you look at the BTV site for player value, based on years of team control, projected value and contract cost, the deal looks like this: -20.3 Betts -10.8 Price (+$30M we pay them) LA: +1.1 50.8 Verdugo 21.3 Downs 4.0 Wong -$30M to LA for Price BOS +26.1 (Note: I am not saying this is proof of anything.)
-
Interesting to note, the BTV site dropped the value of Chavis, again, from 7.5 to 6.0. (I think even 6.0 is too high. Houck is 6.0, Beni & Ward are 5.3.
-
I'm tired of waiting. I am certain we will spend, soon, but this is killing me!
-
I'm happy with the deal we made. Unlike many, I'm glad we dumped half of Price's contract. I think $300M/10 was an underbid, and we knew it. Since COVID, it doesn't look as bad, but had we kept him, I don't think giving him what the Dodgers ended up giving him was insanely high. "Risky," yes, but so are any deals for the best of the best at 8 years or more.
-
We should spend more than $23M from now to the deadline.
-
We have done some major extensions.
-
This winter and last or the two before this winter?
-
I was always for extending Betts. One main argument for trading him was that we got Verdugo, a couple nice prospects and we'd have money to spend. If we don't spend it, the loss seems greater.
-
We may fill one of these slots via trade, but this does look like the plan.
