    Agreed. If we can get Arenado at $5-7M x 3, they should get a prospect. At $9-10M, nada. At more, we get something else.
  2. moonslav59
    Tell that to the I Love Venezuela Foundation.
  3. moonslav59
    He's almost played as many games with them, as the Sox. LOL

    Here is a list of system graduated prospects still on the 40 by date: '17 Devers (top rank was #1) '21 Houck (2) Whitlock (4) '22 Duran (3) Bello (3) Winckowski (9) Wong (11) Crawford (17) '23 Casas (1) Murphy (9) Kelly (23) Bernardino (NR) '24 Rafaela (3) Abreu (7) Slaten (12) DHam (19) Sogard (31) 17 Total, but some started in other systems. (Whitlock never pitched in our minors before MLB.)

    Good stuff sk.

    It would be nice to see plus-plus leftside D in 2025. It's the cost that bothers me.
  7. moonslav59
    So, July 13th.
  8. moonslav59
    His buddy, Contreras, comes with him!
  9. moonslav59
    Funny.
  10. moonslav59
    We could get/could have gotten a better FA for less than he is owed. The concept is relatable. I still think, if STL pays down zero, they need to give a prospect- not expect one. He has negative trade value. I would not expect to get anything for Yoshida, and would give some money for nothing back. I'd give Yoshida, Mullins and Sogard for nothing at all.
  11. moonslav59
    Who would ever choose to live near HOU? 🙃
  12. moonslav59
    I don't get it. You say he's worth $48M/3 but would give Mullins and Sogard for him at $60M+/3.
  13. moonslav59
    We better get a pick for Pivetta. Is it still a rule, that if he goes unsigned after opening day, we don't get a pick?
  14. moonslav59
    I do think he'd love to play in Boston. He does have a say in where he goes, but I'm not for taking on even half his deal.
  15. moonslav59
    They would be dumping salary. Do the math. Contreras, Arenado + Helsley is more money that Story+ Yoshida. Maybe it's not saving enough for them, and they give up a nice catcher and 1 year of a really good closer, but they ain't winning, this year w Helsley.
  16. moonslav59
    Do you see him having an OPS+ over 99 for the next 3 years combined? I'm thinking $30M/3 tops. I'd offer $7-8M x 3.
  17. moonslav59
    To STL: Yoshida, Story, Wong, Guerrero, Fitts or Sandlin & Cespedes or Bleis To BOS: Contreras, Helsley, Arenado No cash either direction. Story is owed $77.5M/3 ($23.3 CBT x 3), Yoshida is owed $18.6M x 3 ($18M CBT x 3) Contreras is owed $18M x 3 ($17.5 CBT) Arenado is owed $64M/3 ($25M x 2, $15M x 1 CBT) & Helsley $8.2M x 1
  18. moonslav59
    LOL! Ooops.
  19. moonslav59
    You, yourself, said he underwater, as is Yoshida. You'd be okay signing Arenado to $75M/3, if he was a FA?
  20. moonslav59
    Any aging player can have a resurgence, but I just don't see one for Arenado. Last 3 OPS: .891>.774>.719 He turns 35 in a couple months. As much as I'd love to see our 3B defense improve, at what price would this come to? Our offense would almost certainly take a hit, and we are already shaking our heads at no O'Neal replacement, Our budget would almost certainly take some hit, and we can't even afford to pay Grichuk or Lareano $4-5M/1, as it is. Either STL has to pay a big chunk of his deal, or they have to take Yoshida and some cash. I guess they could add Helsley or Murphy and change the whole dynamic, but I doubt that happens.
  21. moonslav59
    Gasp... or Yoshida plays LF, Duran CF and Abreu-Rafaela RF. Gulp- Gasp-Gulp!
  22. moonslav59
    It's actually Cespedes and Fitts minus Mullins and Sogard from your deal, and surely dumping most of Yoshida's deal is worth something more. Why do you think we need to give anything for a negative value player? They should give us a prospect to take his full contract.
  23. moonslav59
    Nobody is changing their choice to come to see the Sox on Arenado.
  24. moonslav59
    I've explained this. If they are prepared to pay 1/2 his salary, which is about $32M, or $37M, if you don't count deferments, then taking Yoshida plus $8M a year is leaving $30M of his contract for STL to pay for rather than hand us $30M. Maybe, they end up trading Yoshida, later and save part of the $30M still owed to him. Maybe he earns $10M a year, for them. We open up a roster slot at DH and get a decent 3Bman. We pay $60M for Arenado and $24M for Yoshida (not $54M) Note: explaining it doesn't mean STL does it, and I'm not even sure I want this deal.
  25. moonslav59
    Sounds about right, but do you still think giving Mullins and Sogard for the full contract is a good idea? Why should we spend very limited dollars on him? If they could give us Helsley, too, that would change in a big way, and save them more money. Yoshida +$8M x 3, Cespedes & Fitts for Helsley & Arenado? (Maybe add a Castro or Penrod type.)
