I was joking around. I also like the idea of signing JD. I'm not sure what it would take to trade for Stanton, so it's hard to compare which plan is best.
-
The fun may begin as early as Tuesday.
-
ERA+? I wasn't aware both also pitched. Did you mean OPS+?
-
Apparently, HRam will be cleared to play 1B next year. Signing JD or trading for Stanton allows them to DH FT, if needed, and to also fill the 4th OF'er opening.
-
MLBTR... Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reported Saturday that Boston is “definitely in play” for Stanton, but sources tell Jon Heyman of FanRag that the Red Sox don’t look like the front-runners for him at the moment. Rather, the Sox are more focused on other players, including free agent outfielder J.D. Martinez, per Heyman.

It will be hard for DD to know for sure what others are offering, and Jeter & Co. may master creating a bidding war that is nonexistent, but I really do not think the return will be as great as you project, even without taking on Prado's sunken cost. Plus, Prado probably can't even play 2B next year.
-
Pretty damn valuable!
-
Yeah, no major overhaul, but go after Trout.
-
He certainly out performed many other big free agent signees, but the signing was still had an overall negative impact.

Assuming JD Martinez signs for $150M/6, look at this comp (luxury tax dollars): Stanton Age 28 $25M Age 29 $25M Age 30 $25M Age 31 $25M JD $25M Age 32 $25M JD $25M Age 33 $25M JD $25M Age 34 $25M JD $25M Age 35 $25M JD $25M Age 36 $25M JD $25M Age 37 $25M (Note: JD starts next season at age 30 and turns 31 in August. Stanton does not turn 29 until next November.) I'll take the extra year at age 37 in exchange for the 3 years at ages 28-30.
-
Agreed. JBJ has always been one of my favorite Sox players.
-
We could trade for Stanton AND keep JBJ. Word is HRam can play 1B next year. Stanton can DH and be the 4th OF'er, when needed (12-20 games with no OF injuries). HRam can DH those 12-20 games, thereby giving him some rest. Use Travis or Swihart at 1B when HRam DHs or sign someone like Duda for a 1 year cheap deal.
-
We should ask ourselves why so many quality organizations always ask for JBJ.
-
I always expected VTek to end up with a significant role. He was such a student of the game.
-
I really do not think he will come close to that return, even without Prado and the Marlins paying $10M a year on GS's deal.
-
Not really for a 28 year stud.
-
, Year one, yes, once you reset, but the tax on Stanton's $25M luxury cost will be less over the length of the deal. My point was that if the Yanks can get Stanton and reset, I think they'll kick the tires.
-
A little bit deceiving. He was at 2.8 year 4, so the 4.0 average WAR for the first 4 years was front-loaded. 3 out of 8 years with a WAR over 2.9 is probably not what the Yankee FO hoped for. (He had 4 straight years over 3.5 before signing with the Yanks and only 2 out of 8 seasons over 3.4 with the Yanks.) I wouldn't call the signing a bust, but I am glad the Sox didn't win that bidding war.
-
Yes to Plan A JD Martinez and Plan B Santana. No to Kinsler or W Flores. Okay with Tyler Chatwood.
-
Nobody is giving them top talent AND paying for the whole contract. They are not getting Beni or Devers, even if they pay part of the deal.
-
Committing to 5 years for 1Bman of Hosmer's quality is asking for worse than HRam & Pablo. 1B should be a position of greater power and offense than Hosmer brings to the table.
-
ERod or Groome and take away Castillo, and Miami says yes.
-
That's almost as funny as my proposal!
-
Actually, he was against us using internal solutions at 2B while Pedey is out. However, he failed to say what he was for.
-
I thought the next thing he was going to say was he was against us breathing.
