If you mean we asked if he was willing to pay us to play here, then maybe.
-
To me, the best Sox trades since 1970 have been: 1) Pedro 2) Dodger dump 3) VTek & Lowe 4) Schilling 5) Beckett & Lowell 6) Chris Sale
-
I doo, too. Also, I'd rather have Porcello than Perez, but this is about the budget.
-
Price has to go, probably with JBJ for us to reset.
-
Yes and maybe he'll be 70% as good.
-
It wasn't either or. This guy costs half of what Porcello cost.

Calling All Budgies - the Red Sox 2020 payroll thread

Trading JBJ at the deadline saves about $4M. Trading him this winter saves about $11M. -
But, the point was that at the start of the season you Yankee fans were saying you had no weaknesses. Jacko was praising Happ and Paxton up and down. It turned out you did have a huge hole and you likely will have one next July. The pressure will be on to trade prospects to fill the gaps - just like we traded Beeks and Buttrey to fill holes.

Famous last words.

MLBTR on Price Trade https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/12/david-price-trade-rumors-red-sox-padres-wil-myerss.html

I was assuming the Angels kick in money to make the actual money a push ($14M over 3 years), but the lux tax money a big savings of about $8M a year for 3 years. I also said, I don't know about the prospects. I'm assuming they are good, but if not, I wouldn't consider the deal. I'm just throwing ideas out there, and I have little faith in Price and Eovaldi, so to me, it's all about creating budget space for Bloom to do his magic.
-
That is why we WILL reset. Even if we don't end up signing Betts, the math is still the same for others we add for 2021 and beyond. They've all but confirmed the reset is happening. They are dancing around with the words in hopes of not losing season ticket holders and NESN subscribers. BTW, it may take just one year to get over the cliff. More likely 2, but 1 is possible if we go $39.9 M over the line in 2021.

How about Price, Eovaldi, Chavis & Walden for Pujols, Upton and 3 prospects (Marsh OF, Adams OF, Jones 2B)? The money? BOS gets Pujols owed $59M/2 ($24M/yr on Lux) Upton owed $72M/3 ($21.2 on Lux) $131M for 3+2 yrs ($45.2 lux) LAA gets Price owed $66M/3 ($31M lux) Eovaldi owed $51M/3 ($17M on lux) $117M for 3+3 ($48M on lux) I think we'd have to ask for some money back to make this deal worth it... maybe a lot. (Note: I don't know much about the prospects we get back, but the trade simulator gave them decent values.)
-
Porcello to sign with Mets.
-
Big Dick to sign with Mets. Phew!
-
How competitive are we with Price & Eovaldi on the IL? Some FAs I liked just signed, today. Maybe something needs to be done, soon, before we run out of many good options.
-
That's 6 times better. It's like having 36 guys in the top 10! Simply astounding!
-
That was not his point. Bloom has shown he's good at finding talent without spending much. We have less money to spend, now. He's the right man for the job. It doesn't mean he'll cut payroll to $85M.
-
Wow, 6 guys in the top 10. You guys are so great, I might switch my loyalties.
-
Your point?
-
I was speaking of the Yankees farm over the last few years, and yes, it was helped by those deals for prospects. Okay, most of the trade guys are graduated or gone, now, but their not as highly ranked as a farm anymore either. You guys have continued to do well with IFAs, but your pool money will be lower going forward. To expect your farm to stay very good as you draft low and get diminished pool money is a hope not based on the odds.
-
Plus, once the Yankee top prospects graduate, the replacements may not be as good, since they will be drafting lower and have less international money to spend going forward. Part of the reason their farm got so good was through trading vets for prospects. That ain't happening in this window.
-
It was $25.5M/4, so about $6.1, but 2020 is a $9M option year, so it would cost us $9M on the lux tax line ($11M option for 2021).
-
Oh, I agree, and I had him as a big negative value before the Cole signing. My point is that maybe he is now -$55M not -$60M or -$30M nut -$33M net value.
-
At today's prices $218M/7 looks like too little, but for a DH- too high.
