    He may have been worth close to $6-8M on defense only, in his prime, but he's not worth $10M on defense, now. I think people short-change his offensive value. I'll be happy watching JBJ in CF, this year, especially, if the other choice was Beni, and since we are resetting, his $11M does not bother me. The only way his contract bothers me, is if it is preventing us from getting a fine pitcher. JBJ is still my favorite player with Devers on the rise.

    ...and that's the reason they use the average salary not seasonal. It's a reason I'd prefer offering Betts $416M/13 over $360M/10 The AVV is $32.0 vs $36.0

    Betts can ask and demand all he wants, but the price will be set by the highest bid from a GM. Once we know what that is, then we can haggle about the Sox not one upping that bid, or not. The Sox are pretty good at valuing their own talent and offering a fair contract and not going much higher. I still think we have a better chance by trading him, but that assumes we want to pay what it will take. I'm not sure we do or should, but to me, we should offer a big contract (maybe $400M/13) and then let the chips fall where they may.

    1B, corner OF, DH. Weird acquisition, unless Bloom thinks the world of Quantrill. Maybe we trade JBJ or Beni. Maybe we trade Chavis.
  5. moonslav59
    Agreed. We're lucky they might give us just Quantrill and $20-30M.
  6. moonslav59
    YES! The Betts trade was the first step of many needed to get us there. I think we can win again before Sale and Bogey's deal run out. I'm not sure 2021 is realistic, but I'm trying to stay optimistic.
  7. moonslav59
    Hey, you're signing to the choir on Sale. I loved Sale from about 3-4 years before the trade. That being said, Kimmi is right, we "Might" have won without him. (We might not have.)
  8. moonslav59
    Nope. Not even when he was prime.
  9. moonslav59
    In theory, if these values are close to correct, we could give nothing and get Meyers (-47) plus 47 to balance it out. Mix and match: Campusano & Morejon or Campusano, Quantrill & Baez or Naylor, Morejon, Quantrill & Baez I doubt SD comes close to any of this, but they don't pay any cash. More likely is Myers + $30M and Quantrill which comes out about a Baez short, but it is what it is.
  10. moonslav59
    Oh, I get it. The other great thing about adding an ace, is it makes your current #1 the #2, your #2 becomes your #3, your 4 the 5 and your 5 adds to the pen.
  11. moonslav59
    Agreed. I think Bloom is alone among GMs in thinking JBJ is worth $11M
  12. moonslav59
    Maybe the loss in revenue will be enough evidence to convince Sox management to offer Betts the best offer next winter. With a reset under our belt, half of Price's contract off the books and maybe another $20+ M coming off the books after 2020 (JBJ, Pillar, Workman and options for Perez & Moreland), we are much better positioned to make such an offer, if we are so inclined to do so, than had we not made this deal. The following winter sees us losing Pedey, Barnes and Hembree (hopefully not ERod). I'm all for making a play for Betts, but the fact is, we'll be able to spend on something very useful for years to come.
  13. moonslav59
    Bllom could have just non tendered JBJ and saved $11M. I don't think he views JBJ as a salary dump. He won't be traded, unless Bloom thinks we get more back.
  14. moonslav59
    If they are willing to pay $20-35M towards Myers's contract, taking JBJ and his $11M and then just giving $10-15M does the same for their budget. Taking Eovaldi would not, since he is owed $51M/3.
  15. moonslav59
    Agreed, and with the "crap shoot" aspect to the playoffs, maybe some overkill is needed to ensure getting the ring.
  16. moonslav59
    Everyone knows how I feel about Sale, but we very well may have won without him.
  17. moonslav59
    That was for Betts. If it's about Chavis or Dalbec, then Quantrill, Myers and $40% of his contract might be enough.
  18. moonslav59
    Unless they take some offsetting salary- like JBJ or Eovaldi.
  19. moonslav59
    Yes, the deal would be more about Quantrill and adding a good pitcher.
  20. moonslav59
    I remember that stretch very well. He looked awesome. He looked maybe a little better in the playoffs, but it might have been because it mattered more. I'm glad he regained his stuff. There was a big debate about him not even making the playoff roster based on how crappy he did after May 29th. 54 IP 51 H 28 BB 57 K
  21. moonslav59
    He had one great stretch early in 2018: From game 2 to his 25th game (Apr 1 to May 29): 0.35 ERA .327 OPS against 25.2 IP 10 H 27 K 6 BB (1 out of 6 IR scored)
  22. moonslav59
    In theory, JBJ might lessen the amount of cash SD has to pay and would give them a good OF'er. Chavis and JBJ for Myers, Naylor and Quantrill plus $15M or Chavis for Myers, Quantril and $30M. The first choice saves them more money, but loses a nice young player in Naylor. They might insist on no money or less than $10M going to BOS.
  23. moonslav59
    I'd still want 50% of Myers's contract paid.
  24. moonslav59
    I guess that makes sense.

    If it wasn't for Kelly...
