They reset, so their tax would e just 20% for 2020.
-
I think they figure in min salaries for all remaining slots.
-
Parking in a handicapped spot calls for an immediate assembly of a firing squad.

That was before losing Leon & others right? $3.5 Leon 1.0 Osich 0.7 Marco All are still listed on Cot's. Now, those players are replace by $600K min wage player ($1.8M total) and the difference might be about $3.5M for the 3. That leaves us about $10.5M over, which trading JBJ would even out. We could subtract another $1M by DFA'ing or trading Hembree.
-
We actually made payments to the Dodgers until CC's contract ran out. $3.9M x 3 years plus $1.25M x 2 for Beckett $857K x 5 for AGon $857K x 5 for Crawford All total, it came to about $15M, and one could assume it was all really geared towards paying for CC's contract, since the others were not really "salary dump" players. That would knock about $3M/yr off CC's $20.9M a year deal. $18M x 5 for Crawford vs $32M x 3 for Price is close to even.
-
We could kick in $2-3M a year and still save bigly.
-
Death penalty, here.
-
Dealing JBJ will not be enough, if we want to sign some decent players. I think we trade JBJ and one from: Price Eovaldi Betts JD We could afford to add Dalbec or Chavis, since they are close to be redundant. We could trade 2, if we want to really go rebuild mode. More likely, we will wait to the deadline or trade one this winter and maybe more at the deadline.
-
Again, my comments are based on us making no moves. With 6 open roster slots, that's impossible. If we don't add a 1Bman, Dalbec could play as much in Boston as AAA, so it's not about him getting ABs. If we add a 1Bman, then yes, I'd prefer Dalbec start in AAA.
-
Not all. We could take back AJ Pollock and/or Pederson (not a salary dump player but is paid well). If it's the Padres, we could take back Myers and Margot plus a prospect. We could kick in some money, if needed, but the more we chip in the less the positive budget affect would be.
-
Price is a bigger albatross than Crawford- money wise, even accounting for inflation. Beckett was a quasi-salary dump. AGon was not a dump, but he declined shorty afterwards.
-
Well, trading Betts is certainly more "exciting" than trading AGon. Price is close to equal with Crawford+ Beckett. Punto tips the balance for excitement. Maybe we can include Lin.
-
Not in Texas.
-
We now have 6 open roster spots, so it appears Bloom has quite a few moves in mind, all of which seem like better options than Marco, to him.
-
It might have to be less than $1M... maybe a trade.
-
I think, without any moves, Dalbec starts at 1B and Chavis at 2B. Just my opinion.
-
Many of those players were great "clubhouse guys." (The list neglected including Dempster.) Contract costs: $13.25M x 2 Dempster (He retired after 1 year.) $13M x 3 Victorino (He declined sharply after 1 year.) $9.5M x 1 Stephen Drew (The following year re-signing was a circus.) $5M x 2 Jonny Gomes (Second year, he was traded.) $5M + incentives Mike Napoli (Re-signing didn't work out as well.) $3.1M x 2 David Ross Not counting Uehara, the total was $49M. (Uehara was an arb player in 2013- $4.25M.)
-
The chances went up when Marco was non tendered, but I think we'll sign or trade for a utility infielder, and Dalbec will make the roster. Chavis will. If it's between Lin and Chatham, Lin is out of options.
-
I know deals will be made. My list was meant to show where we are right now. (I doubt Chatham makes the 26 man roster until September.)
-
I think JBJ's offense has been undervalued by Sox fans. The league average CF OPS has been .721 and .746 the last 2 years. JBJ is right around those numbers. 16 teams have a CF OPS of below .728 from 2018-2019. Of the 37 CF'er with 700 or more PAs since 2018, JBJ's .728 OPS ranks 24th. That's not great, but it's not as bad as many seem to think it has been. He also runs the bases very well along with his great D.
-
Yes, and it's not like Price will be useless with LA, either. Sure, his salary is way too high, but he could bounce back, too or just give 100-150 quality IP each of the next 3 years. That has some value. Myers gives us OF depth and a warm body at 1B. He's not my idea of part of a rebuild, but he does have upside. The salary relief, especially on the lux budget, is what the trade would be all about.
-
So too would trading Price & Betts.
-
Exactly, and the AVV means nothing to SD, but the actual salary owed does. We could even chip in a couple mil per year, if needed.
-
It's not the "only way." We could maybe trade price for Wil Myers straight up. We save some money and fill the 1B/OF opening we have. With the money saved (assuming we also dump JBJ) we can sign a more reliable SP'er.
-
The reasons are obvious. From LA's POV: They could send some salary back to BOS to partially offset the Price cost (Joc Pederson and/or AJ Pollock plus a prospect). From BOS's POV: If including Betts helps us create a large budget space for 2020 and beyond, that clearly adds further value- maybe more than an iffy but talented prospect would bring back by trading Betts alone for Pederson and a prospect.
