Ellsbury on the DL is a plus for the Yanks.
-
Word is the Yanks are looking at Gio.
-
So, Severino & CC start out on the DL. Didi is out for months and may never be the same. They knight in shiny armor, Paxton, never plays a full season. Yet, we are the ones who need to fear injuries.
-
True enough!
-
One could argue it was perfect storms that we traded Espinoza and Kopech before they needed TJ surgery.

MLBTRs...Top Free Agents of next Winter https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/03/2019-20-mlb-free-agent-power-rankings.html 1. Bogey 2. Sale 3. G Cole 4. Rendon 5. Goldschmidt 6. Wheeler 7. JD Martinez 8. Gregorius 9. Verlander 10. Bumgarner We have the top 2 and 3 of the top 7. Too bad there are no more comp picks given away!
-
He gives us quality innings and lots of innings. He will be missed. If we reset, we won't be replacing Porcello's $20M with someone esle at $20M. We will be replacing him with DHernandez, BJohnson or HVelazquez.
-
...and Jacko was all in our face about Sale's health!
-
Yes, I know it might be more than a year or two, but if we reset the tax, and Henry is willing to allow us to go back to near the $40M over line, I can't see why we shouldn't be able to retool after 1-2 years. We'll still have a base of Devers, Beni & ERod, plus one or two of the vest we decide to keep (Betts & Sale?).
-
...and rumors that contract prices will start falling might be wrong.

What would a Betts extension be?

Segura seems to have peaked early (2-3 years ago) while Bogey seems to be improving. Or not. -
Of course, I'd rather have the team you mention, but I think resetting and being worse for one year will payoff much more later. I am 100% serious. I think a rebuild year or two is needed.
-
Porcello has been our horse. Bogey was a huge reason we won last year. JBJ, too. Pearce and Moreland combined will likely out perform Chavis and Dalbec's rookie years. I love DHernandez, but I'm not counting on him, as a rookie, to come close to what Porcello has given us. Chatham has a lot to prove. We also lose Holt with Nunez with nobody but Lin in sight. Pedey will be 1-2 years older then.
-
I said "highly competitive". You don't think losing Porcello, Bogey, JBJ, Moreland/Pearce makes much of a difference? You are dreaming, sir.

moonslav59 replied to jacksonianmarch's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
A lot depends on how well he does the next two years and what the salary trend is doing. -
Some recent summer deals don't seem like we had to give up too much... 2018 Jalen Beeks for Eovaldi Santiago Espinal for Steve Pearce 2017 GBautista, JCallhan & SNogosek for Addison Reed SAnderson & GSantos for Eduardo Nunez I'm not sure we'll have to trade Chavis, Dalbec or any or out top prospects to get what we need this summer. With Pearce and Moreland's contracts expiring after this year, and JD's opt out coming up, we may need both Chavis and Dalbec, at least until we learn more about Casas and Chatham.
-
I'm wondering why it took so long for this "workout" to occur. Was he still rehabbing his injury? Are they just trying to minimize the chances of an early aggravation of the injury?
-
We lose Porcello, Xander, Pearce and Moreland and a year later, JBJ. This team would not be highly competitive. It wouldn't be a "cliff", but it wouldn't be a ring contender either. I think we reset after this year, but maybe after 2020. No Bogey, no JBJ, no Porcello, no Pearce & Moreland and no JD or Sale. Keeping JD and Sale puts us over the limit and prevents a reset. Keeping both while letting everyone else but Betts go does not win us another ring. I'd rather reset for one year, then spend large and turn the rebuild into a 1 year turnover. We keep Betts, Beni, Devers, ERod and maybe Eovaldi & Sale, so when we bounce back, we still have a strong core of vets.

One winter while at ND, it never got above zero for like 19 days in a row! It was windy, too. While walking to class, I had to go through buildings to warm up. One time, in Maine, my ear froze as solid as a rock. The doc said it might turn black and fall off. It didn't.

b, m & p.
-
Betts- not even close.
-
If you had to choose just one... $220M/7 Sale $220/9 Bogey
-
Yes, that's how New England is every day of the summer. LOL! Come on, Boston is milder than the South and mid west in summer, and that's one reason why baseball is followed more fully in the north. Now that many southern cities have inside stadiums, we may see a trend reversal, but football will be hard to supplant in many areas.

$24M x 9. I'd say a tough no, but it's not an easy call on what DD & Henry might do. -
Yes, but the northeast is better than the south, midwest and central climes.
