Price might make the 2016-2025 decade list, if anyone does one.
-
Not necessarily. We could resign Betts and maybe even JD. We'd have reset the tax. If we miss out on Betts and & JD, in theory, we could spend up to $39.99M over the lux line for 2021.
-
If we trade Betts, we might as well totally rebuild by trading anyone who has 1 year left or is not part of a longer term rebuild: JBJ JD (will opt out) Price Eovaldi Workman (FA after 2020) Maybe even FAs to be after 2021: ERod Barnes Hembree

The advantage of taking Herrera would be to fill an OF/DH slot, so we can trade JBJ and have a replacement- not just the tax savings. Belt fill the 1B opening, but the savings are not much. The Pollock/Maeda for Eovaldi/JBJ deals comes out almost dead even on the trade simulator (no money exchanging hands). Pollock is owed $51M/3. Eovaldi is owed $51M/3. JBJ will likely get $11.5M/1. Maeda is owed $12.5M/4. The total money is about even, but the tax cost savings is about $13M in 2020. I'd do this deal in a heartbeat, but it alone does not get us under the line. That's why trading Price & JBJ makes more sense. Price & JBJ for Pollock & Joe Kelly was accepted, but I doubt the Dodgers agree to it. We'd save $27M on the tax line, so we could afford to pay some of Price's deal, but how much would LA demand? The actual money would be: $96M/3 Price $11M/1 JBJ $51M/2 Pollock $23M/2 Kelly $107M to $74M in 2020 but $$96M to $74M in 2021. It's 2022 that would burn LA.

Other rather large salary vs lux tax cost players are: LAD: Pollock $51M/3 ($12M LUX) Maybe trade Price, cash & JBJ for Pollock. PHI: O Herrera $20M/2 ($6.1M) LAA Upton $72M/3 ($21.2M) SFG Belt $34.2M/2 ($14.6) not a big differential. The simulator accepted Eovaldi, JBJ and $3M for Pollock & Maeda.

Yes, especially those from a cheap shot.

I’m not a Pedey hater. I think he is giving it his all on getting ready for 2020. I just have little confidence he will succeed.
-
I seriously doubt we even discuss trading Sale,
-
He’s preparing to prepare to let us all know he is preparing to get ready to begin setting up a plan to prepare for rehab.
-
The more budget space we create the more options Bloom will have. There may be some good players out there making moderate salaries that we can afford. I’m looking more at 2021 and beyond than 2020, but I’m not totally giving up on this season, yet. Any team with Betts, Bogey, Devers , JD & Sale can surprise,
-
Many pitchers who have equal or worse injury histories than Eovaldi and Price have signed for significant money. These two pitchers are not valueless. The key is finding the GM who values them the most or is desperate enough to take a flyer on the risk-reward situation.
-
Eovaldi usually pitches significant innings every other year or so, it's not likely he sucks or is injured all 3 years. Or not.
-
I fully expect the return for JBJ and Price and/or Eovalid to be unappealing. I'm hopeful those trades get us under by enough for Bloom to work his magic on acquiring under the radar contributors.

Assuming Georgia holds on tonight, here's how I see the final rankings: 1. LSU (Clemson, if they pull an upset) 15-0 2. Clemson (LSU, if they lose) 14-1 3. Ohio St. 13-1 4. Georgia 12-2 5. Oregon 12-2 6. Oklahoma 12-2 7. Florida 11-2 8. Penn St. 11-2 9. Alabama 11-2 10. Notre Dame 11-2 11. Minnesota 11-2 12. Baylor 11-3 13. Iowa 10-3 14. Auburn 9-4 15. Navy 10-2/Utah 11-3
-
If we trade JBJ, trading either Price or Sale and paying part of their contract will get us under the line. "Who works best?" To me, that probably & mostly depends on who does worse over the next few years.
-
I trust Sale way more than Price, but my guess is GMs do too, so it would be easier trading him than Price.
-
If we trade Betts, we are giving upon 2020. How is trading JBJ and Price or Eovaldi any worse? The JD choice is about 2021 not 2020. My point about $8M savings on Price or Eovaldi was just that it is the minimum we need someone to pay. I'm pretty sure a team will pay more than that- enough for us to pick up a cheap P and CF'er. If not, we go in-house and look to 2021 and beyond.
-
If we deal JBJ, we're about $7-8M from the line. You can't envision someone paying Price or Eovaldi over $8M (while we pay the rest)?
-
It's the year of the optometrist. Everybody sees 2020.

Just because it makes sense doesn't mean it is as it appears. It could have been an unforeseen loop hole. If this is true, all the more reason to reset this year.
-
We came up a bit short on Lester, but made an attempt.
-
I remember you saying this earlier, and it does seem like a good comp. Aaron's power came from his wrists and apparent quick twitch swing. Betts is a better fielder and runner, so even if his power does not end up matching Hank, he may still end up with a higher career WAR.
-
I disagree, but it's a tough call.
-
Assuming equal pay, who would you rather have in the next 3 years: Price or Rourk?
