    Red Sox place Brian Johnson on outright waivers. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/11/red-sox-place-brian-johnson-on-outright-waivers.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook

    Just playing around, and I found this trade to be about even: To LAD: Betts, Price, Eovaldi, JBJ & Walden To BOS: Jansen, Pederson & Pollock (They actually say the Sox are owed $2M.)

    Okay, then add a prospect we get for JD to the Astros. Bump up some of the cash we give to the Rangers.
  4. moonslav59
    There's no way we do what I showed, but if we are looking to be somewhat competitive in 2020 and better positioned for 2021 and beyond, the idea has some merit.

    I'm not saying I want to do this, but here's the scenario of a mega fire sale this winter. Trade: JBJ, Walden, Johnson & Eovaldi & $7M a year for Ryan Pressley & Marisnik. We save about $10M on luxury tax budget. JD Martinez for a prospect. (Save $22M) David Price & $5M a year for Rougned Odor (Save $18M) Mookie Betts for Prospects (Save $28M) Total savings: about $75M. That leaves about $70M to spend and reset. Sign (MLBTR predicted contract values): $18M x 3 Jake Odorizzi $15M x 3 Marcel Ozuna $9M x 2 Tanner Rourk $9M x 2 Julio Teheran $9M x 2 Will Harris $4M x 2 Josh Lindblom $5M x 1 Pedro Strop Look to re-sign Betts in 2021 and go back over the luxury line. The 2020 Sox: SP1 Sale SP2 Erod SP3 Odorizzi SP4 Rourk SP5 Teheran SP6 Lindblom RP1 W Harris RP2 Workman RP3 Pressley RP4 Barnes RP5 Strop RP6 Taylor RP7 D Hernanzez/Osich/Hembree/Brasier 1. Benintendi LF 2. Bogaerts SS 3. Devers 3B 4. Ozuna CF 5. Dalbec 1B 6. Chavis DH 7. Vazquez C 8. Marisnik RF 9. Marco/Lin/Chatham 2B Betts replaces Marisnik in 2021.

    He was "money." So was Josh Beckett, and he ain't gettin' into the HOF.
  7. moonslav59
    Slow time of year, when all we have to talk about is Jacoby Ellsbury!
  8. moonslav59
    LOL! Many of us Sox fans knew it was not going to "hurt the Sox" by losing him.
  9. moonslav59
    Not every "true ace" makes the HOF.
  10. moonslav59
    This front office has cut back before. Yes, they tried to stay competitive every year, but they clearly did not try to be HIGHLY competitive, every year. We certainly could see 2020 being one of those years, but we have the ability to wait and see until July. That is the likely path.
  11. moonslav59
    No, we don't "need to reset," but it makes sense to not go over 3 years in a row. Going over by a little bit and paying 50% on the little we go over by is not going to matter much, but if we choose to want to go significantly over for 2021, then resetting the tax, now, is reasonable. I'm thinking we try to stay under for 2020, but if we look like we have a chance to win in July, we may decide to spend and go for it. If we look flat, we will likely decide to stay under and maybe have a mild sell-off.
  12. moonslav59
    Good role player and most teams have done less, so far.
  13. moonslav59
    Osich
  14. moonslav59
    Why? A minor league deal is all he's worth, and even that might be too much with the circus he will being to town with him. Just say "NO!"
  15. moonslav59
    They added 4 rule 5 guys to the roster: Dalbec, Chatham, Wilson and Aybar.
  16. moonslav59
    How about the marihoochie joint?
  17. moonslav59
    I think we reset, this year- maybe next instead, and then we stay below the max line going forward.
  18. moonslav59
    We keep hearing things like, "If we trade JD, nobody will want to play for the Sox anymore." Why does anyone ever want to play for the Skankees?
  19. moonslav59
    Who knows. If they wanted JD to opt out, would they have said it? I do think they were probably happy he didn't opt out, but it's hard to know.
  20. moonslav59
    I'm not laughing.
  21. moonslav59
    The money saved would allow us to sign some lower budget guys, or maybe Bloom "does his thing" and finds some gems in the rough. BTW, Price and Eovaldi may not "pitch for the Sox" even if we don't trade them.
  22. moonslav59
    A minor league deal is all I'd even think about, but like Buch, let's just stay "moved on."
  23. moonslav59
    Eovaldi is from Texas- maybe him for Odor? Price for Myers, and we keep Betts and have some money left over for some Bloom bargain signings.
  24. moonslav59
    I think we may have to pitch in something like $5M a year, or maybe we take Jesse Chavez ($4M/1 left). If we end up trading Betts, too (not to Texas), maybe we trade Price & JBJ to TX for Odor and Choo ($21M/1 left but $18.5 on the tax budget).
  25. moonslav59
    Maybe they are haggling over an amount of money that follows Price. Maybe he's playing Odor vs Myers. Maybe there's someone else interested. Maybe all this is not even being discussed. (I'd take Odor over Myers due to more money saved.)
