$43M to spend, instead of $30M could be the difference maker. Or not.
-
I have faith in Bloom, too, but $13M is $13M.
-
$13M could net us 2 one year deals for decent RP & CF'er.
-
I've suggested this before, but now with just one year left at $12M, Pedey should retire, and then we re-sign him at $3M a year x 5 years as a consultant or coach.
-
Seems like it should be part of any signing process.
-
I think they can before a signing- like after 2018.

Billy Beane & the Sox? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-10-10/beane-s-play-for-red-sox-could-signal-the-end-of-moneyball-era?utm_source=facebook&utm_campaign=socialflow-organic&utm_content=business&cmpid=socialflow-facebook-business&utm_medium=social&fbclid=IwAR0esGuChb0gs7uaW5_Uw2Rler3lqoFHepoH7xIENt8hNsVQrzGuq8_YiG0&fbclid=IwAR0hlg1XMWWgm0GSpuyDgQh5JuDmSQNacD7P2VsIIDVI8Qh-kKs8wKX5QwI

If he stays on the 60 Day IL all year, he does not count as a member on the 40 man roster. His contract will always count on the luxury tax budget, unless he retires and forgoes his salary.
-
Well said. I will add that he looked very healthy and pitching at a very high level at the end of 2018 as well.
-
Yes, I get that, but the drop was more than just that.
-
Looking at the BTV numbers, I think they have these Sox players over-rated: 12.1 Duran 7.5 Chavis 5.5 Beni 5.2 Brasier 4.9 Chatham Boy, Devers' value sure went down! Here's who I think are under rated: 35.9 Devers 12.9 DHern 4.5 Ward 2.6 Houck 0.0 Perez & Munoz -18.2 Sale
-
I get your point, but usually when you talk about "sunken cost" or "underwater contracts" the player in question sucks or is grossly overpaid. One could maybe argue being overpaid by about $5M a year is "grossly overpaid," but most probably don't think of it that way. As for Eovaldi's on the field value, here's how BTV values Sox players before adjusting for salary: 86 Sale 79 Verdugo 60 Bogaerts 50 Devers 35 Dalbec 32 Vaz 22 Eovaldi 21 D Hern 19 Beni 17 ERod 17 JD 9 Brasier & Chavis 8 Taylor 7 Arroyo 6 Perez 5 Barnes & Pivetta 3 Covey & Arauz 2 Valdez & Peraza 1 Plawecki & Munoz Our worst? -5 Walden 2 Springs & Triggs -1 Brewer

Here is my attempt at the 2021 40-man roster: Add 5 Free Agents Pitchers _FA_, Eovaldi, _FA_, Perez, Pivetta, Houck, Seabold, Mata, Groome/ 60 day IL: E-Rod & Chris Sale _FA_, Barnes, _FA_, DHern, Taylor, Brasier, Weber, Valdez, Brewer Dylan Covey, Chris Mazza, Domingo Tapia, Marcus Walden Christian Vazquez, Kevin Plawecki, Deivy Grullón, Wong. Bobby Dalbec, Michael Chavis Christian Arroyo, Yairo Muñoz, Jonathan Arauz/ 60 day IL: Pedroia Xander Bogaerts, C.J. Chatham Rafael Devers, Potts Andrew Benintendi, César Puello _FA_, Rosario Alex Verdugo, Marcus Wilson. J.D. Martinez

We need a CF'er not a LF'er. Do you mean $12M x 3 or $4M x 3 for JBJ?
-
Of course, it sucks when we suck, but I don't think being happy the Yanks lose is like a brat missing a scholarship. This is the Yankees we are talking about- not some brat.
-
Rosario plays CF.
-
Maybe. Somehow, I'm thinking if he was a Sox player, you'd not be saying this.
-
How are the Rays "evil?"
-
Durable? Yes. Good? Unknown. Costly? Not likely too much.
-
Too much "hope" involved in our 2021 chances.
-
No Dodger WS. I'm pulling for the Rays to beat the Braves. If it's Houston-LAD, I could care less.
-
He probably would accept, since trading him would surely be to an immediate contender, but who knows. (BTW, I am not in favor of trading Bogey.)
-
"Underwater"does have a more negative context to it just saying "negative." Let's assume BTV value is correct. They say Eovaldi is worth $11.9M x 2, and he's being paid $17M x 2. $5.1M/$17M is a 30% overpay. What do you think should be the minimum percent the term "underwater" should be used? 30% is pretty significant, but $5.1M for only 2 years does not seem all that massive. Certainly the CC, Price, Pablito & HRam deals were much worse.
-
Just like "My Packers!"
-
I had no really "happy" baseball memories before 2004, so this is better than nothing. 2018 was not that long ago, and I'm seeing an improving outlook, so I'm not hung up on the past.
