Agreed, but never count the Rays out. Also, the Dodgers have a long and recent record of coming up short. Should be a good series.
-
Not sure they would have scored anyways, but yes, it seemed to deflate the Braves.
-
We gave $217/7 to Price 4 years ago. If we gave the same to Betts, we'd be in a sense adding $148M for his last 5 years.
-
Even if he's worth $10M/yr for his last 3 years, he's still worth $31M x 12. $180M/3 $150M/3 $60M/3 $30M/3 Total: $420M/12 Here's a more conservative view: $120M/2 $95M/2 $80M/2 $40M/2 $20M/2 $10M/2 Total $365M/12 It's hard to doubt the second valuation. It seems "light" to me.
-
I look at it this way: he's likely "worth" $50-60M a year for the next 4-6 years, $30M/yr for the next 2-4 years, and $20M/yr the last 2-4 years.
-
Just a minor omission... LOL.
-
Okay. You didn't say last best talent. Boggs had a very unique talent, and he greatly improved his D as he matured.
-
Clemens, Yaz, Teddy

Weel, Trout was never part of our organization, so to me, Betts was "a once in a lifetime talent" with the Sox, and we couldn't afford to keep him. Thanks Dave. We paid Price $31M x 7, Sale $26M x 5 and HRam/JD $22M/yr x 4 and 5 yrs, but $30.4M x 12 was too much for the best of the best.

Wanna know how much I care who wins, tonight? I'm going to bed.
-
I hate the Dodgers and almost always root for the underdog or upstart team, but I can't get myself to root for the Braves. I'd like to see Mookie do well, but I don't really care who wins. I want the Rays to win it all.
-
Time for Mookie to step it up.
-
I liked Stroman, but I wasn't expecting that price tag.
-
It is a business. ERod has made millions, already- not that it matters. Nobody will think any less of the Sox, if the non tender a player unable to play. If that's true, the whole NFL is heartless.
-
If they know he cannot play, there's nothing heartless about non tendering him.
-
This could be a rare case where that comes into play, if a health concern is heightened by then.
-
I'd rather have that than Pillar at $9M/2 or JBJ at $13M/2, but then again, he's an arb cost player, so it's understandable. I like his D.
-
I'd rank these signings and numbers, in terms of who I'd sign as the Sox GM like this: 1. Semien (not thrilled with this guys, but way cheaper than Bauer & Stroman) 2. Brantley (not thrilled with signing a corner OF'er over CF, but the money seems better than others, here) 3. Turner (move Devers to 1B and trade Dalbec?) 4. Stroman (too expensive, but likely a better deal than Bauer) 5, Bauer (close call) 6. Springer (close but a no-go for me) 7. LeMahieu (need a 2Bman but not at this cost) 8. Cruz (don't need a DH) 9. Realmuto (most catchers crash hard as they age)

The Sox are 4-0 in their last 4 World Series trips after losing their previous 4 WS all by 4-3 margins. The Sox went 16-3 in those 4 series, not losing a cumulative number of games to lose even one series! Another interesting fact about once you make the playoffs, it's a "crap shoot." Not so much for the Sox since 2004. We've made the playoffs 9 times and won it all in 4 of them! Of the 5 times we did not win it all, we only made the ALCS, once (and lost it 4-3). That 15 years stretch (2004-2018) was amazing. We made the playoffs 60% of the time and won it all 27% of the time- nearly one out of 3 years! We came close in 2003,losing the ALCS 4-3, so if you count 2003, we made the playoffs 10 out of 16 times (63%), the ALCS 6/16 (38%) and the WS 25% of the time. Let's hope Bloom sets us on the way for something similar to that!
-
All good points. That being said, I wish he was on our roster.
-
That, too!
-
Way to play- Rays!
-
That's how I see it. Whenever I don't really care about either team in a playoff series, I almost always root for the underdog or team that "deserves it" most. Lately,I've been rooting more for the local teams, here in Houston, but not these bunch of cheating SOB's!
-
The Rays in the World Series. Thanks, Bloom.

thegamehaus projects these FA contracts: $200M/7 Bauer $185M/6 Realmuto $150M/6 Springer $140M/6 Stroman $90M/4 LeMahieu $85M/5 Semien $45M/3 Brantley $25M/2 Turner $15M/1 N Cruz
