Trading Dalbec with a vet for a young cost-controlled player who plays a position we actually need someone to play is as good as building the farm. IMO, Dalbec has more value to another team than ours. We have a 3Bman. We could trade Dalbec for another prospect that pitches, plays 2B or CF (assuming we trade JBJ).
-
No matter what you say in the intro, of course people are going to examine the names, and your example was lop-sided. Yes, a 3-team trade may be the best way for us to get what we want for Betts, since we may not want prospects- a 3rd team would want.

The rankings are out. 1. Ohio St. 2. LSU 3. Clemson 4. Georgia 5. Utah (I had OK here.) 6. Oklahoma 7. Baylor 8. Wisconsin (I don't get this at all.) 9. Florida 10. Penn St. 11. Auburn 12. Alabama (I had them 9th) 13. Oregon 14. Michigan (Too high.) 15. Notre Dame 16. Iowa 17. Memphis If Utah and Oklahoma win, and Georgia loses to LSU, I think OKL should be #4. If Baylor wins, it might come down to who looked better in their wins. (Oregon should not go, if they win.)
-
With our roster depth looking weak- both the 26 and 40 man, keeping a non-ML ready player in that extra 26th slot might be worth a gamble.

I just noticed I called you an " a hole guy" Sorry!

I thought you were a hole guy.

Yes, so 30% not 20%.

Looking at the Dodgers: Pollock is owed $51M/3 counting the buyout for 2023. He has negative trade value and would greatly offset the cost of Price ($96M/3). Looking at Price, for a cost of $45M/3 is not so bad. He might even get that as a FA this winter, assuming he was one. Joc Pederson might get about $10M in his last arb year. While that's way less than Betts, it does knock the cost of Betts to $18M not $28M. All-in all, the money part of the deal works for the Dodgers, IMO. The sticking point might be the prospect we want added to the deal (or maybe add Chris Taylor- assuming we dump JBJ & Kenta Maeda). From the Sox point of view, we see these budget savings: 2020: $35M ($60M Price+ Betts- $25M Pollock + Pederson) 2021: $14M ($32M Price- $18M Pollock) 2022: $19M ($32M Price- $13M Pollock) Total savings: $68M The Lux tax hit is even better: 2020: $35M ($31M Price+$28M Betts- $12M Pollock+$10M Pederson) 2021: $19M ($31M Price- $12M Pollock) 2022: $19M ($31M Price- $12M Pollock) $73M total Lux Tax savings

Dalbec has a higher trade value than Chavis on the trade simulator site. I agree with that assessment. I also think we lose some of his value by forcing him to play 1B. We lose his plus D at 3B, and his bat will be harder to meet 1B expectations than 3B expectations.
-
They reset, so their tax would e just 20% for 2020.
-
I think they figure in min salaries for all remaining slots.

Parking in a handicapped spot calls for an immediate assembly of a firing squad.

That was before losing Leon & others right? $3.5 Leon 1.0 Osich 0.7 Marco All are still listed on Cot's. Now, those players are replace by $600K min wage player ($1.8M total) and the difference might be about $3.5M for the 3. That leaves us about $10.5M over, which trading JBJ would even out. We could subtract another $1M by DFA'ing or trading Hembree.
-
We actually made payments to the Dodgers until CC's contract ran out. $3.9M x 3 years plus $1.25M x 2 for Beckett $857K x 5 for AGon $857K x 5 for Crawford All total, it came to about $15M, and one could assume it was all really geared towards paying for CC's contract, since the others were not really "salary dump" players. That would knock about $3M/yr off CC's $20.9M a year deal. $18M x 5 for Crawford vs $32M x 3 for Price is close to even.
-
We could kick in $2-3M a year and still save bigly.

Death penalty, here.

Dealing JBJ will not be enough, if we want to sign some decent players. I think we trade JBJ and one from: Price Eovaldi Betts JD We could afford to add Dalbec or Chavis, since they are close to be redundant. We could trade 2, if we want to really go rebuild mode. More likely, we will wait to the deadline or trade one this winter and maybe more at the deadline.
-
Again, my comments are based on us making no moves. With 6 open roster slots, that's impossible. If we don't add a 1Bman, Dalbec could play as much in Boston as AAA, so it's not about him getting ABs. If we add a 1Bman, then yes, I'd prefer Dalbec start in AAA.
-
Not all. We could take back AJ Pollock and/or Pederson (not a salary dump player but is paid well). If it's the Padres, we could take back Myers and Margot plus a prospect. We could kick in some money, if needed, but the more we chip in the less the positive budget affect would be.
-
Price is a bigger albatross than Crawford- money wise, even accounting for inflation. Beckett was a quasi-salary dump. AGon was not a dump, but he declined shorty afterwards.
-
Well, trading Betts is certainly more "exciting" than trading AGon. Price is close to equal with Crawford+ Beckett. Punto tips the balance for excitement. Maybe we can include Lin.
-
Not in Texas.
-
We now have 6 open roster spots, so it appears Bloom has quite a few moves in mind, all of which seem like better options than Marco, to him.
-
It might have to be less than $1M... maybe a trade.
