Yes, they were obviously looking to cut salary, but you have to wonder about Kluber's health when you see a low return like that.
-
How about this? 65, 65, 95 vs 75, 75, 75
-
I'm thinking maybe expectations for bold moves were too high. If we are looking to reset, I'm not sure about rushing into deals is a sound strategy. I'm pretty certain Bloom has a numbers of deals in the works- probably some already accepted by the other team, but he is waiting on other shoes to fall first.
-
He could have lived in Western Mass or NH/Maine/Vermont.
-
Would you rather have two 75 win seasons followed by a 95 win season or one 65 win season followed by an 85 and then 95 win season?
-
This trade was denied, despite exact equal values (0.00) for each of the 3 teams: Sox get: Myers, Pollock, Margot & Campusano © SDP get: Eovaldi, JBJ and Gale (from LAD) LAD get: Price & Dalbec
-
I loved Burks. I can understand why Clemens was not extended, and I'm glad he wasn't here when he got busted for PEDs. Plus, they guy is a creep. (He got away with some hanky-panky with an underage girl.) Boggs in a Yankee uniform was indeed a sad site to see. All that history really highlights how great it has been since Henry took over and changed the whole Sox image.
-
Makes you wonder, if we hadn't been in such a budget mess, right now, we could have gotten Bumgarner & Kluber for close to what Price is making.
-
Notice I did not post this on the realistic thread. (Note: the last Dodger dump involved 8 players plus cash changing teams.) One that is maybe doable: Betts & Price (+$3M) for AJ Pollock, Maeda & Downs
-
Trade: Price ($32M x 3/ $31M on Lux Tax) Eovaldi ($17M x 3/ $17M LT) Betts (~$28M last arb) JBJ (~$11M last arb) Chavis (pre-arb) Walden (pre-arb) +$1M a year x 3 yrs for Pederson (~$9M last arb) Maybe flip him to another team later AJ Pollock ($17M x 3/ $12M Lux tax) K Maeda ($3.1M x 4/ $3.1M LT) Joe Kelly ($8.3M x 2/ $8.3M LT) Josiah Gray (Pitching prospect) Total Money: Sox get: $37.4M in 2020 but $33M Lux Tax (counting the $1M we send per year) drops $9M in 2021 (Pederson) and another $8.3M in 2022 (Kelly) LAD gets $87M in 2020 and $86M on Lux Tax drops $39M in 2021 (Betts & JBJ)

To me, yes. It could be exciting to watch Devers, Bogey, Vaz and a bunch of rising stars, but only if I thought we were heading for something special 2-3 years down the road.
-
Ryu, Keuchel, Gio Gonzalez, Miley and maybe Teheran, Nova, Bailey and Aaron Sanchez
-
I was thinking more about them waiting to see if another deal can happen with another team, of if they miss out on a FA SP'er they are currently pursuing.
-
It's all about how much the other team will have to pay after any balancing of the finances is completed.
-
I don't see much logic in this piece, except that 2 pitchers are off the board. (2 teams are no longer looking, though.)
-
It might be about another team "waiting."
-
It could happen today. It might be held up until a deal with another team falls through. It might never happen. They may not have even spoken.
-
This is why he still has value. If he starts off 2020 at 7-2 with a 3.24 ERA, his value will be much greater in July.
-
So, it basically hints at Price being worth $12M x 3 years ($96M- $36M= $60M value).
-
I'll never be "mad at Henry." If he cuts payroll to $150M, I would not get upset. I thought I was going to die never seeing a Sox championship.
-
LOL. I'm pretty sure this trade will never happen. I was just showing harmony a view.
-
I have a niece and a nephew who live there. One is just 2 subway stops from her apartment to her job.
-
Maybe not the actual banner, but there was a lot of recent discussion about the sell-off of 2012 and the 2013 ring year.

String bean or not, Price was a horse when we signed him. Before we signed him, he had these numbers: 469 IP in his previous 2 seasons- most in MLB 208+ IP in 4 of his previous 5 seasons (with 187 in the fifth) 27+ starts in 5 straight seasons (31+ in 4 of 5) Previous 4 season totals: 63-30 2.90 (133 ERA+) 2.90 FIP 8.9 K/9 (4.98 K/BB) 1.087 WHIP He then led the AL in IP in his first year with the Sox at age 30 (230 IP) 2014-2016 IP Leaders 699 Price 677 Scherzer 675 Cueto 673 Kluber 662 Bumgarner 637 Samardzija 627 Lester

I don't blame you, but as a Sox fan with an eye on budget costs, I'm glad the Yanks signed Cole for mega bucks. I'm thinking the long term negative effects will out weight the short term gains you likely will see.
