    No, we don't "need to reset," but it makes sense to not go over 3 years in a row. Going over by a little bit and paying 50% on the little we go over by is not going to matter much, but if we choose to want to go significantly over for 2021, then resetting the tax, now, is reasonable. I'm thinking we try to stay under for 2020, but if we look like we have a chance to win in July, we may decide to spend and go for it. If we look flat, we will likely decide to stay under and maybe have a mild sell-off.

    Good role player and most teams have done less, so far.

    Osich
  4. moonslav59
    Why? A minor league deal is all he's worth, and even that might be too much with the circus he will being to town with him. Just say "NO!"
  5. moonslav59
    They added 4 rule 5 guys to the roster: Dalbec, Chatham, Wilson and Aybar.
  6. moonslav59
    How about the marihoochie joint?
  7. moonslav59
    I think we reset, this year- maybe next instead, and then we stay below the max line going forward.

    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?
  9. 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.

    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.
  12. moonslav59
    A minor league deal is all I'd even think about, but like Buch, let's just stay "moved on."
  13. 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.
  14. 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).
  15. 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.)
  16. moonslav59
    I think Price might get $40M/3, if he was a FA this winter.
  17. 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.
  18. moonslav59
    I'd do either deal in a heartbeat.
  19. moonslav59
    Now, that would be an indisputable "cliff!"
  20. 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
  21. 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.
  22. moonslav59
    Are you mocking me?
  23. moonslav59
    Was that "facility" the same place Kraft went to?
  24. moonslav59
    They may trade JBJ and have current offers, so maybe you are reading too much into this.
  25. 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
