If Pedey starts the season on the DL, I'm not so sure that gives Swihart life. Chavis taking Pedey's place doesn't make sense either. I think I'd want Lin on the roster, but it's not clear cut.
-
I think they care more than I do. We'd have Kimbrel or Robertson, if they didn't. I care about keeping Betts & Sale and possibly 1 more from Bogey, JD and JBJ.
-
His contract is guaranteed, right? (Although he does not get half of it.) My guess is, we keep him like we did Chavis.

Steven Wright facing 80 game suspension

UNREAL! This guy could have been a major pen arm this year. OH WELL! -
Even $40M/3 would keep us from keeping one of the big 5. I'd still say no. Too much money. Too risky for a declining closer. Plus, I think that number would be insulting to CK- kinda like the Lester offer.
-
It would be funny, if it was for less than $17.9M. Even so, it solves the 2020-2021 issue, but when you count the tax on the contract, it would be an absurd number. I still think, no.

BDC's blog is defunct.

I'd certainly rather have Betts, Sale, Bogey, JD and JBJ over Kimbrel, if it came down to an either-or situation. Trying to set things up, so we can keep as many of those big 5 as possible will lessen the severity of the "cliff" while also keeping a solid core to begin rebuilding around after a year or tow without being highly competitive. If we can keep Betts & Sale along with Beni, Devers & ERod, we'd have a nice core to add to once we reset the tax and look to spend again afterwards.
-
Too late. CK misjudged the market. He will still likely do better than $17.9M/1, but not by dollars per year.
-
That's the main reason CK is a no go.

I seriously doubt there are any takers out there, but in theory, if we could trade Nunez ($5M), Hembree ($1.3M) and Swihart ($900K) for a better RP'er than Hembree, while not costing the combined $7.2M, I'd be all for it. We might regret trading Nunez, if Pedey's recovery never materializes, and our IF depth is tested with just Holt, Lin & Chavis/Dalbec. We could add or sub in Thornburg ($1.75M) as well. If we really trust Chavis or Dalbec, we could consider Moreland ($6.5M), but again, who would be the "taker?" In theory, trading all of these guys would really hurt or bench, but with the $15.5M saved plus the $4M we have now, we could add one (CK?) or two decent FAs (Tony Sipp & ???) at discount rates. Not going to happen, but... Kimbrel for Hembree Centeno for Swihart Lin for Nunez Chavis for Moreland Velazquez for Thornburg
-
$5-6M freed up by trading Nunez plus the $4-5M we have under the max line would not be enough to sign CK and avoid mega taxes and the draft penalty. I doubt DD is even thinking about CK or any way to bring him back, even if he has the okay to go over the max line. It's just not cost-effective.
-
Knowing he'd say no. Also, it's for 1 year not the 4-5+ he was seeking.
-
I get that, but it's never just a "sore shoulder" with Sox players. Sheesh. Plus, Sale is feeling fine now, and he's throwing. Sev is not.
-
So, you think he starts the day after his suspension is lifted (or does not miss a start due to health issues)?
-
I doubt the Sox would sign CK, even if he a had a great 2nd half of 2018.
-
Hembree is not great, but out pen is a question mark. I'd hold all our pen pieces in hopes that 6-7 work out. I would like to get rid of at least one out-of-options player (Swihart, Hembree, Johnson), if we can get a nice return.
-
Nunez played hurt all year. He may be habbled again this year, but he's better than he played in 2018. If we could trade him and free up $3-5M, I'd do it. I like Lin and am optimistic on Pedey. Plus, we have Chavis and Dalbec for corner IF depth.
-
OK. Just a "sore shoulder" for Sev, but Sale is all but burnt toast.
-
So the heart and other health issues are all okay? I guess this article is all BS, then... CC Sabathia After symptoms made clear that he was having trouble with his heart, Sabathia had surgery to clear his arteries, and had to have a stent put in. Luckily, they caught the heart problem in time, and he’s been cleared to pitch. The procedure set back his workout routine though. Sabathia has yet to throw his first bullpen session, and Aaron Boone doesn’t expect him to throw one for a few more weeks. They plan to move him along slowly during spring training.
-
Looks pretty crappy to me.
-
Plus, Sanchez had shoulder surgery in November, Montgmery still has a long rehab in front of him, and now Hicks has a stiff back. Here's a headline I just read... Yankees shut Luis Severino down with rotator cuff tendinitis https://www.pinstripealley.com/2019/3/5/18251894/yankees-injury-luis-severino-spring-training-shoulder
-
Why wouldn't he be on a throwing program by himself or with a personal trainer? Plus, they won't need their 5th starter until the 6th day of the season.
-
I thought it was his health issues, but I could be wrong.
