    Salaries coming off the books, next winter (AAV): $31.7M Bregman, if he opts out. $21.1M Buehler $19.3M Giolito, if team option not given $10.8M Chapman $5M Hendriks, if team option not given $2.3M Wilson $2.1M Refsnyder So, anywhere from $35M to $90M.

    To each his own. I didn't think saying 3-67 added anything further. I was going on the assumption that posters on here had watched the games and knew the sample size would be around 3 for 67. In fact, I'd have thought it might have been 70+ PAs, so saying 67 made it look better than I expected. 🤪

    That catch he almost made in LF showed me that maybe he could maybe be a plus defender in the OF, if we need or want him there. (Yes, a one play sample size! LOL)
  4. moonslav59
    Yes, sorry. I thought of that right after I clicked enter, but figured it was still useful info.
  5. moonslav59
    Maybe 2-3 pre-arb years and 3-4 arb years, so I'm thinking one or two FA years plus the 2 options available, so 2-4, maybe?

    According to soxprospects.com, here are the ETAs on their next highest ranked prospects: 2025 (late) Dobbins (8th) 2026: Perales (4th), Sandlin (11th), JH Garcia (12th). Romero (13th) & Early (14th) 2027: Bleis (6th) & Tolle (10th) 2028: Arias (5th), Cespedes (7th), Jo Garcia (15th) As of now, none of these prospects listed look to make the money KC just signed for.

    It’s perhaps not an accident that the club waited until after Opening Day to get this deal done. It was reported last March that players who sign pre-debut extensions, like Chourio, aren’t eligible for the prospect promotion incentive. To discourage service time manipulation, the current collective bargaining agreement put measures in place to encourage teams to carry top prospects on Opening Day rosters. One of those measures is that top prospects who are called up early enough to earn a full service year can earn their clubs an extra draft pick via awards voting. -Darragh McDonald

    I guess since I copied and pasted from a previous post, it turns weird.
  9. moonslav59
    No problem. It does seem to hurt a little when so many ex-Sox players keep doing well.
  10. moonslav59
    It's hard to imagine KC not being worth $19 or $21 that far ahead, but if he's not, it's a nice "insurance" to have. He'll be 30 and 31 those option years.
  11. moonslav59
    It's when we bat against a lefty, things get abnormal. LOL
  12. moonslav59
    If we could get Anthony and Mayer to sign similar deals, I'd be happy. With mayer's health issues, maybe not 8 years.

    MLBTR... Campbell gets a $2MM signing bonus and a $1MM salary this year. He will then make $2MM, $3MM, $4MM, $6MM, $9MM, $13MM and $16MM in the next seven seasons. There’s a $4MM buyout on the first option. There are also escalators based on awards voting and All-Star selections. The Sox are buying out two of Campbell’s free agent seasons with the options allowing them to extend their window by two more years after that.

    Not sure what that has to do with years of control of our current players, or that Sale has a 5.40 ERA, either.
  15. moonslav59
    OPS is plain and simple, too.
  16. moonslav59
    It sure looks that way, so far, but it makes the KC extension look better, when compared.
  17. moonslav59
    So, correct me if I'm wrong, but here are the years of control of our current players - counting 2025: 8-10 Campbell 9 Devers 7 Rafaela 6-7 Crochet 5-6 Bello 5+ Anthony, Mayer, Weissert, Narvaez, Fitts, Priester, Murphy & others 5 Abreu, DHam, Slaten, Criswell, Bernardino, Grissom, 4 Duran, Casas, Crawford, Wong, Romy, Wink, Kelly 3-4 Story 3 Houck, Yoshida 2 Sandoval, Whitlock, Newcomb 1-3 Bregman 1-2 Giolito 1 Buehler, Chapman, Hendriks, Refsnyder, Wilson
  18. moonslav59
    Rafaela got $50M/8 with no extensions. They are/were about the same ages.
  19. moonslav59
    Kinda takes the sting away from the 1-4 start. Yes, Anthony and Mayer NEXT!
  20. moonslav59
    Good question. If it begins, now, then the two option years would be '33 & '34.
  21. moonslav59
    I think the view of the Sox front office has improved by leaps and bounds, this winter!
  22. moonslav59
    Nice! Campbell is guaranteed $60MM. The options are valued at $19MM and $21MM
  23. moonslav59
    It's not uncommon for a 5 game sample size to have a few players with really bad numbers, but this is god-awful. These numbers would be really bad, if they were batting averages, but they are OPS: .000 DHam (7 PAs) .133 Rafaela (15) .170 Casas (18) .174 Devers (23) .180 Wong (17) Then, there is Story at .321 and Bregman at .488. Only 3 guys have 16+ PAs and are doing okay or better: 2.114 Abreu (16) 1.188 Campbell (20) .776 Duran (23) Others are at .833 Narvaez in 4 PA, 1.333 Refsnyder (3, but just don't call it a "platoon") and 1.350 Romy (5 PAs.) Sad numbers, indeed for 7 of 13 batters.. On the pitching side, we still have 7 pitchers with 0 ERS allowed: Whitlock (4 IP) Weissert (3) Kelly (2) Wilson (1.2) Bernardino (1.1) Chapman and Criswell with 1 IP. (14 IP total) 3.60 Crochet (5 IP) 4.50 Fitts (6) 6.35 Houck (5.2), 8.31 Buehler (4.1) 9.00 Newcomb (4.0) 18.00 Slaten (2)

    You can also make the point that Mayer was not chosen by several other GMs, but Bloom did not pass on him. He did still have other choices, even beyond Lawlar. I think some posters were pointing to Lawlar's earlier call-up as evidence that Bloom kinda-maybe shoulda taken him.

    And, with Bogey's apparent decline, we aren't hearing about the loss of Bogey much, at all. The same happened with the Beni trade. (The JBJ trade still sucked, but at least DHam is giving us something back.) Had we signed Bogey, would JH have spent this much on this offseason? Bloom made some major mistakes, no doubt, but here are some of his draftees and IFA signings: Campbell (comp pick for Bogey) Anthony Mayer Guerrero, Jh & Jo Garcia, Arias, Romero, Early, Cespedes, Bleis, Paez, and others Teel, Montgomery & Meidroth (Crochet trade) Yorke (traded for Priester) E R-C (traded for Narvaez) Traded or Rule 5 drafted for these prospects: Whitlock, Wink, Fitts, Sandlin, Wong & others
