    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?
  2. 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.
  3. moonslav59
    I'm not laughing.

    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.
  5. moonslav59
    A minor league deal is all I'd even think about, but like Buch, let's just stay "moved on."
  6. 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.
  7. 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).
  8. 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.)
  9. moonslav59
    I think Price might get $40M/3, if he was a FA this winter.
  10. moonslav59
    I'm thinking only the Dodgers could afford that package, unless we throw serious money in with the deal, which kind of defeats the purpose.
  11. moonslav59
    I'd do either deal in a heartbeat.
  12. moonslav59
    Now, that would be an indisputable "cliff!"
  13. moonslav59
    Really? ERod's run support: 7.05 Porky's run support: 7.04 (Point well taken with Sale at 3.90 runs per game.) Porcello got plenty of run support, and the team actually saved his ass many times. They went 18-14 in his starts- not bad, when you consider he let up 5 or more runs in 12 starts. In half his games, he let up 4 or more runs (or 3 in 5 or less innings). The Sox scored 7.04 runs in his starts, including... 11 games with 9 or more runs 18 games with 5 or more runs scored Only 6 games with 3 or less runs scored
  14. moonslav59
    If we do dump price and/or Eovaldi, then yes, the equation has changed and signing an innings eater makes more sense. I guess my mindset is geared more towards only looking at acquiring younger players that look to help the Sox beyond 2020. If we need to sign a bridge player here and there to "carry us over," so we won't be terrible while we retool, then fine.
  15. moonslav59
    Are you mocking me?
  16. moonslav59
    Was that "facility" the same place Kraft went to?
  17. moonslav59
    They may trade JBJ and have current offers, so maybe you are reading too much into this.
  18. moonslav59
    We also get to replace these innings pitched and PAs: 174 Porcello 5.52 54 Cashner 6.20 31 J Smith 5.81 20 Shawaryn 9.74 19 Thornburg 7.71 15 Chacin 7.36 8 Kelley 8.61 6 Wright 8.53 PAs 335 Moreland .835 295 Holt .771 174 Nunez .548 99 Pearce .503 Maybe JBJ & Leon
  19. moonslav59
    To me, we need to spend our very limited budget on several players, and signing Porcello to $8M a year would take up all of our spending budget and leave nothing for the pen, 1B, C and a replacement for JBJ- not that $8M will fill all those slots.
  20. moonslav59
    Something like this should be part of the next deal.
  21. moonslav59
    Or, they know he will not be selected, and they took the risk of losing him. I'm sure he's not someone they have big plans for, but I still think he may end up being a decent ML platoon player someday. He does very well vs RHPs, and that's the bigger part of any platoon. Splits vs RHPs 2019 AAA: .898 (21 HRs in 287 ABs) 2018 AAA .793 (5 Hrs in 70 ABs) AA .968 (13 HRs in 205 ABs) That's an OPS over .900 with 39 HRs in 562 ABs. He may very well get a look at some point.
  22. moonslav59
    You misunderstand my position. I think he will get $9-11M/1 or $17-20M/2, but I do not want us to be the ones paying that much. I thought what we had to pay Price was "too high" but necessary. I do not think signing Porcello is necessary or pragmatic.
  23. moonslav59
    Is 3B different in the minors? It's not complicated to keep Dalbec at 3B, if he is the real deal and is viewed as a much better defender. I'm not saying I'm for the move, and I'd like Dalbec to show he can hit ML pitching before I move Devers anywhere.
  24. moonslav59
    I doubt we could get both of these guys with Peerson...maybe one is asking too much.

    MLBTR... The Red Sox reached out to free-agent utilityman Brock Holt about a new deal after the season, but there haven’t been discussions since they hired Chaim Bloom as their chief baseball officer Oct. 28, Holt told Barstool Sports’ Section 10 podcast (hat tip to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com). Although other teams have contacted Holt, he revealed there’s “nothing serious” brewing between him and any clubs. MLBTR predicts a two-year, $8MM contract for the versatile Holt, who’s coming off back-to-back solid seasons at the plate. The 31-year-old batted .297/.369/.402 in 295 PA in 2019, which is looking more and more like his last season as a member of the Red Sox.
