We could pitch in more money, especially in years 2021 and 2022, after Gordon's contract drops off. They do get Chavis, too, and he will cost very little and has 4+ years of team control. All Eovaldi has to do to change his negative trade value if pitch well for a month or two to start 2020.
-
Okay, yes. Most pitchers can pitch with higher velocity in shorter outings.
-
He was talking about Sale.
-
MLBTR's rankings are based on total money projected not $/yr. If Porcello is projected at $11M/1, it's not hard to imagine he's worth more than $18M/2.

How's this? Eovaldi (+$6M) & Chavis to Seattle for Dee Gordon (It's not about acquiring Gordon; it's about saving big money. Gordon has one year left at $13.5M with a $1M buyout for '21. His luxury tax hit is just $10M. Eovaldi is owed $17M for 3 more years. We pay $2M a year, making it $15M. We save $5M on the tax budget in 2020 then $15M for 2021 and 2022.) Gordon plays 2B in 2020 and then we free up more money to keep Betts or sign other free agents. Price (+$6M) & Velazquez to San Diego for Wil Myers (Again, this is not about acquiring Myers; it's about saving even bigger money. Myers is owed $22.5M x 3 years, but his luxury tax hit is just $13.8M x 3. Price is owed $32M x 3, but we'd pay $2M a year x 3, making it $30M for SD. His luxury tax cost is $31M-$2M=29. We'd save over $15M on the tax budget. Myers would play 1B or maybe some corner OF.) Tax budget savings: 2020: $20M 2021: $35M 2022: $35M If we trade JBJ, we'd have plenty of money to sign some FA pitchers this winter and next.

I thought you once said, "Once you lose your velocity, you never get it back." Maybe that just applies to current Sox pitchers. Pom has been great for short stretches before. Porcello was great for one long stretch. I'm thinking Porcello has a better outlook than Pom, but I've been wrong before.
-
Has been not "is."
-
If Pomeranz gets $34M/4, I think Porcello will make much more than many here think he will get.
-
I hardly ever suggest 3 team deals- 18 players, yes.
-
Here are some interesting numbers from the Trade Values website: 120.8 Moncada 30.7 Kopech 8.8 Logan Allen 8.2 M Margot 8.1 Buttrey 7.7 M Dubon 6.0 Basabe 5.2 Shaun Anderson 4.0 Basabe 2.8 Quiroz 1.9 A Espinoza 0.5 G Bautista 0.5 Beeks 24.5 Casas 18.8 Dalbec 17.7 Chavis 14.0 Duran 13.7 Mata 10.6 D Hernandez 6.6 Jimenez 5.3 Song 4.6 Lugo 4.4 Ward 4.3 Groome 3.6 Decker 3.3 Houck & Cannon 2.9 Flores 2.5 Gonzalez 2.3 Diaz & Howlett 2.2 Lopez 2.1 Northcut 1.7 Chatham & Wilson 1.0 Netzer, Ockimey & Reyes

LOL. I will say, in my defense, many of my trade suggestions are shot down by Sox fans as offering too much.
-
I like the money saved, and we need a 1Bman. Myers might rebound.
-
I've never been a big Johnson fan, but even I thought he had trade value. Just shows how biased we can be.
-
I like the Price for Myers type idea
-
I like the idea of dumping Price and or Eovaldi better
-
Maybe CCs numbers were better
-
It would be close: Ellsbury, Tex, ARod2, CC 2, plus some big money guys they trades for and who flopped
-
Someone will take BJ.
-
I'm fine with Blyleven being in, but it's for longevity- mostly. I'm not big on the value of Ks over other types of outs, but Bert was dominant for a short time and also very good for a long time. Giving 2 decades to your team certainly has value as does 8-10 years of total dominance- like Pedro. The problems arise when everyone has their own criteria or bias, and then they point to someone in HOF who has worse numbers than your guy.
-
What if Blyleven was 5th in Ks and also 5th in BBs? Would he still belong?
-
The thumbs up or down feature is hard to value. Does a Sox fan give a thumbs up because it's good for them, or is thumbs up for thinking both sides do well.
-
There's like a thousand different criteria for getting in.
-
There are players in the HOF that don't deserve it. If we use Baines as the comp the Hall would be tripled in numbers.
-
I saw your Brian Johnson for Bird deal proposal. Sounds possible.
-
Just a note, I was just trying to come up with an even trade that allowed us to dump Price and get a decent defensive CFer.
