    That's how I see it. Without a reset, we'd have had a way smaller chance at signing him than we do now, no matter how small our chances are after trading him. Plus, it seems like a minority want to pay him more than $375M/10, so we'd be losing him anyways- for nothing.

    He took her on vacations, alone from ages 16-18. The girl was a consenting target, but it's still statutory rape, if sex happened. She even said she "can't deny" anything in the story that came out, except she said she was 16 not 15 when "it" started..

    It's assumed JBJ gets traded.
  4. moonslav59
    I gotta think he sees something that can easily be adjusted to make him a plus. His pay does not match his history.
  5. moonslav59
    I didn't really mean to imply we need to get a 122 ERA+, but it's more about quality than quantity, to me, except that we still need more "quantity" in replacing Porcello, so really, we need both- a 180 guy with a 105 to 110 ERA+. We can afford to take on some salary, so maybe someone is out there.
  6. moonslav59
    Exactly. You don't bring a 15-18 year old girl alone with you on multiple vacations without some sort of hanky-panky. Down here, in Sugar Land, word was they stayed in one room, and he paid off people to be quiet about what they witnessed, but I can't find that in writing. At best, he was "grooming" her for sex when she became legit. He's a scumbag and always has been. I'm not getting why he's being defended so strongly.

    Our catcher depth is really bad. I'm thinking we trade Chavis or Dalbec (I choose Chavis) with a one and done player like JBJ or Workman for an innings eater who may be a slight salary dump-type guy.

    When the underage girl is all gah gah over the "statutory rapist," is getting massive payments and is consenting, it's not likely she'd press charges. Context is needed in all cases like this.
  9. moonslav59
    My bad.
  10. moonslav59
    They never really replaced Porcello's fully. Price gave us 107 IP last year and has averaged about 120 per year over the last 3 years- still very significant, but not a ton. It's his level of performance in those 120 that will be harder to match (122 ERA+)

    I don't know, for sure, but it makes sense there would be. If not, Castillo could file a grievance.
  12. moonslav59
    To me, that's the only explanation. At the time, I felt they already had a deal in place. I love JBJ, but paying him $11M makes little sense. They probably could have non-tendered and then signed him for $12M/2.
  13. moonslav59
    I think he was deliberately making the point that it's absurd to call Clemens a child molesting scumbag. He's the exact opposite. He's a choir boy.
  14. moonslav59
    It's been like this for decades.
  15. moonslav59
    If it happens, it'll be 7 games. Too much money on the table. Hell, they may go 9 games.
  16. moonslav59
    Assuming there is even any deal to be had.
  17. moonslav59
    Good one.
  18. moonslav59
    They can find an all glove-no bat CF'er easily, but you may be right about keeping JBJ. I'm just thinking his salary lost would add a lot to what we could get for pitching. It's just one year, and we wouldn't get much for JBJ, so he will likely be staying, at least until the deadline.
  19. moonslav59
    If we get a pitcher, depending on his AVV, we might be able to call Castillo up in June or July at the prorated price.
  20. moonslav59
    But, a lot of Betts shirts being bought in LA. We'll see Devers shirts on the rise.
  21. moonslav59
    Agreed, just like Price helping us win that ring makes his signing tolerable. If the Dodgers win with Betts, I think we become the faves to sign him. ($380M/11)
  22. moonslav59
    Thanks DD.
  23. moonslav59
    I thought about Toronto as a dark horse, too..... I like our chances against the Mets, Nats and Jays, but the Dodgers can outbid us, if they want. If they win a ring, they may pass, but if not, it won't look good losing Betts and 3 young players and nothing else really big on the market.
  24. moonslav59
    We really need a starter. Duffy has really fallen off a cliff, but maybe he can bounce back. The two years could be a boost or a curse,
  25. moonslav59
    Assuming Betts does not sign an extension. Who will be the serious bidders? Probably not the Cubs or Giants. I'm not sure the Yankees will go large and long, but it would be a knife in the back of all Sox fans. The Dodger, yes. The Braves and Padres? Hmm... St. Louis? Colorado? The Angels? Houston? Texas? Toronto? I'm not seeing anyone but the Dodgers than make a stronger case than Boston to sign Betts. It appears he loved it here. To me, it's all about Henry's view on the long term budget and large and long contracts and Blooms position on such types of deals. How hard, if at all, will he push Henry for the money to make a mega offer. It would certainly shake Red Sox Nation to sign him and have Verdugo, Downs and Wong plus the Price savings to boot.
