    Unless they take some offsetting salary- like JBJ or Eovaldi.
  2. moonslav59
    Yes, the deal would be more about Quantrill and adding a good pitcher.
  3. 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
  4. 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)

    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.
  6. moonslav59
    I'd still want 50% of Myers's contract paid.
  7. moonslav59
    I guess that makes sense.
  8. moonslav59
    If it wasn't for Kelly...

    We lost about 1/6th of our PAs from 2018, even though many were not all that great in 2018, it's enough to say 2019 was not the same team. We lost about a tenth of our IP from 2018, but a much higher percent of high leverage/ late and close IP'd. That's enough to say it wasn't the same team in 2019.
  10. moonslav59
    He was great and bad for stretches all 2018 and even other years. Kimbrel helped get us to the playoffs. Nunez, Kinsler and others helped, too.
  11. moonslav59
    I'm thinking maybe we trade Chavis or Dalbec for Myers and Quantril plus cash. The trade simulator says theyd have to give about $44M to make it even. I doubt they do that, but I'd take less. Maybe add JBJ for Naylor and that lessens the money bigtime.
  12. moonslav59
    Myers is owed $68.5M/3 and his luxury tax number is $41.4M/3. If SD pays the difference ($27.5M) Myers will cost us zero on the lux tax line. If they pay more, we get a net gain on the tax line.
  13. moonslav59
    Yes, and Chavis & Dalbec are RH'd.
  14. moonslav59
    Here are the values set by the Trade Values site of some SD players of possible interest: -47.4 Myers -owed $68.5M/3 but Lux is $13.8M x 3 +8.0 Baez (RHP)- pre arb +8.6 Quantrill (SP)- pre arb +12.8 Naylor (OF/1B)- pre arb +13.7 Morejon (LHP prospect) +16.0 Yates (Closer)- $7.1M x 1 year, then FA +32.1 Campusano (C prospect)
  15. moonslav59
    If we get Myers, I wonder why we signed Moreland. We have Chavis and Dalbec to help at 1B, too. Getting Quantrill would be nice, but even half of Myer's deal is a burden beyond 2020. I'll wait to see the full deal before giving my opinion. I wonder if Bloom sees something in Myers he thinks he can correct and see improvement.
  16. moonslav59
    Funny how you downplayed Kimbrel's role in the 2018 ring season due to his playoff woes, yet Kelly did great in the playoffs, and he's AAAA replaceable. Can you stick to one criteria?
  17. moonslav59
    I seriously doubt anything said by Henry meant we got less in trade. Everyone knew we were not going for a 2020 ring, when we didn't bid on anyone special and replaced Porcello with Perez.
  18. moonslav59
    Yes, it's been near total gloom and doom from you and others. Total. Bloom has yet to produce- NO s***! He should be fired for not winning us ring by now.
  19. moonslav59
    Plus Kelly & Pom. That's only 20% of the team.
  20. moonslav59
    It was not the same team- by a lot.
  21. moonslav59
    We made a big step in the right direction. Of course those trying to sell tickets will spin and spin. Henry will continue to spend to win. We will get back on top, at some point.
  22. moonslav59
    I guess it was, but I really think the reset was a mandate- not a priority. If it was a true option, the reset in 2021 and having Betts for 2020 would have really left us much worse off looking at 2021 and beyond than we do right now looking at 2020 and beyond. One can argue trying to win in 2020 would have been worth a worse extended future outlook, but I don't get the sense that some feel we're not much better off looking at 2021 and beyond than we would have been without the big trade. Try trading Price, alone, after 2020. He'd be a year older and worse. Try finding a Verdugo, Downs and Wong in our system or through the draft.
  23. moonslav59
    You can't expect a GM to win rings with a spending budget of $60-80M. He did a great job with what he was given. To say he was "hardly successful is a gross understatement. One could argue he did better than anyone in MLB within the context of the budgets and situations handed to him. Sure, he still needs to prove himself, here. Dan D. had the same reputation coming to us from Montreal, and he never won a ring, but he did set Theo up nicely. I'm having a hard time understanding all the gloom and doom on Henry on Bloom. I get the sadness of losing Betts, and maybe some here never had to endure decades of frustration following the Sox of old, but I'm damn proud of this team and the owners and managers. We've hit a bump in the road. We all knew it was coming, or should have, and now it's time to look forward to a swift rebuild and return to the top. The quicker the better, for us fans, but we need to be more thoughtful about the long term, so maybe this doesn't happen so often.
  24. moonslav59
    We had to do something, and my guess is none of them would have made 2020 look any better, unless we just punted to 2021 making that much worse than we look now.
  25. moonslav59
    I'm not sure why you feel it's devastating to lose Betts, now, but it won't be next winter. I get the part about the trade being our choice and him walking being more his choice, but I have to think we are way better off looking at 2021 and beyond due to this trade. The reset alone, in 2020 instead of 2021 greatly improves the chances we are better in 2021. The added $16M from trading Price should greatly help us in 2021 and 2022. Verdugo is no slouch. The kid has a lot of upside potential and is pretty good even if he just gives what he did in 2019 over the rest of his time here. Downs is a top 2 prospect. Wong is top 12 or 15. Sure, there's a chance none of this helps, bu to me our extended future looks much brighter due to the trade. We'd be looking at a reset in 2021, no Betts, no money to spend to replace him, the last 2 years of an aging Price's contract of $32M a year, and a much weaker farm than we have now.
