    They won't get him for cheap.

    How does Pederson help the rebuild?
  3. moonslav59
    Pollock offsets a lot of Price's deal. He counts as $48M over the next 4 years ($12M x 4). He essentially cuts Price's deal in half. Add the $3M x 3 years we pay, and the Price/Pollock aspect only costs LA $39M or $13M x 3- about what he's worth. Pollock would be an expensive bench piece on the Dodgers, if he was not part of the deal. Seager and Maeda for Betts may be a stretch, but I don't think the deal is that wild.

    So, he'd play 2B for us? The trade simulator accepted this: Betts, Price (+$9M), Chavis, Walden & Duran for Seager, Pollock & Maeda We should be making 3 for 5 trades, though, not LA.

    I'd rather not trade Betts for a guy with 1 year of team control (Pederson). I like Maeda and his 4 years of team control at $3.1M, but I'd prefer Maeda and Downs. I still like this better, and LA wants a pitcher, too: Betts & Price for Pollock, Maeda & Downs

    We are not getting Lux. We wouldn't get him just for Betts alone. Adding Price cancels out the value of Betts.
  7. moonslav59
    We might be able to do this for just May, but we'd probably have to take back Pollock or add a bunch of cash.
  8. moonslav59
    Cool. Will look into it.

    Bastards!

    I've been slow jogging for a few months with my dogs in the early morning- sometimes before or as the sun is coming up. I wear shorts, unless it's under 40 or so but throw on a hoodie. My legs rarely feel cold. If I wear sweat pants, I sweat like a pig, no matter how cold it is. I hate letting the hood down in the cold, once I've started sweating.

    I don't see the budget priority as having much leverage. We have numerous players we can deal and teams that may be interested. If we deal Price and JBJ, it will be because the team wants them. Yes, knowing we have to shed salary adds some leverage, but I doubt it's all that much. If we wait until July, it will be because we are making one final run at it with the idea that we may have a fire sale, if we are out of it in July. Maybe teams can take advantage of the desperate nature of that sale, but we will likely be selling way more players than needed to get under the tax line, so no single deal will be holding us to the fire.

    Not many deals are made in March or April, and only a few in May. My guess is Price and JBJ are moved this winter. It's not so much about the return as it is about making budget space for Bloom to work his magic. We might get a useful piece or decent prospect or two, but I'm not counting on anything special.
  13. moonslav59
    That would be the ultimate worst case scenario.
  14. moonslav59
    I agree. I didn't mean my statement about Price's value possibly rising greatly with a good start to 2020 as a call to wait on trading him. To me, he should be the number 1 trade priority with JBJ close behind.
  15. moonslav59
    Jeff Gray was another sad story. DMac is a good choice.
  16. moonslav59
    Thanks for refreshing my memory. Sad.
  17. moonslav59
    Yes, and there is no guarantee he will start off strong. It would be nice to get back more for him, though, assuming he starts well. If we traded JBJ, now, and traded Price in June, we'd be under the tax line.

    Esasky did have a great year, but it was sort of out of no where. I think he developed vertigo and was out of baseball shortly afterwards. Quintana was unsung. He started to improve, and then he got shot or something back in Venezuela. I think he tried a comeback but didn't make it.
  19. moonslav59
    BD was on my list.
  20. moonslav59
    While true, he had some great years before and after 2013.
  21. moonslav59
    I was going to mention him but felt he was not "under the radar."

    She'll be travelling Mon-Thur and may not have to be in the NYC office most Fridays. They offered to pay the difference in flight cost to Houston, if she wants to come home for a 3 day weekend. She won't have a car. (Not sure about her boy friend.) She'll have an expense account Mon-Thur, so I'm not sure the high cost of living there will be a big burden.
  23. moonslav59
    Well, she'll be making close to the same my wife and I made combined in her first year,

    Nietzche was a doer.

    Bloom is no Nietzsche.
