Some of the bigger names left might just take one year pillow deals. I'm looking at you, Kris Bryant, Trevor Story and Anthony Rizzo. I do think someone will go all in on Correa and Freeman, but they might be the only two to get a deal they like in that short timeframe...
-
1. Stop expanding the post-season. 2. DH every Sunday with 28 man rosters. But yes, no one wants to play/watch the WS in the snow...
-
That’s all conjecture…
-
It’s simply just an equivalent salary…
-
1. Puffery? 2. They are essentially saying he is a fringe major leaguer. 3. Puffery?
-
I can see a mandate of “cut payroll” or “reset the tax limit”. But I doubt Price was singled out. Think if Bloom had dealt Eovaldi, he’d still be told to unload Price?
-
The minors are loaded with guys who throw 99mph nowhere near the strike zone…
-
At the time, he was not very amenable…
-
A lot of teams routinely struggle to sell tickets after June. Maybe these losses are somewhat important to them…
-
Yes, keeping Betts during a season in which Ryan Weber was the #3 starter would have been a ridiculous waste…
-
And if the Yankees and Sox (and a few others?) had some ownership-imposed spending freeze/limits until the new CBA was worked out, what do you think the remaining free agent class might look like by that time?
-
I think the Dodgers just brought back Chris Taylor. The Mets did go on a spending spree for a while…
-
He probably didn’t, especially since he didn’t know what penalties of any the new CBA would bring. It’s probably not a coincidence that most of the highest spending teams were relatively silent before the lockout…
-
The cheaper rotation is probably because he Sox don’t want to overcommit before knowing the spending rules. And if that is the case, the lockout has probably helped the Sox…
-
Right. The comment about people getting excited over “three for one” deal was meant strictly as complimentary. I don’t watch minor league games either, but all that was done was point out to the advantages of getting the prospects. Renfroe himself wasn’t all that useful in a trade and was only going to get pricier and probably worse. It’s a deal where the Sox probably did help themselves out short and long term…
-
So you not only don’t care about the prospects, you look down on people who do…
-
Agreed. The notion that “prospects mean nothing” ignores their usefulness beyond just being minor leaguers. How do you think we got Sale?
-
And what did you think of Lowe and Varitek when we got them? Not like these were elite or ranked prospects…
-
Yep. I complained the exact same way when we traded away Slocumb…
-
Seven inning double headers are the work of Satan…
-
His UTP…
-
I don’t think very many players want 10 games in a week…
-
What is this? Travel ball?
-
162 games with doubleheaders every Sunday!!
-
My opinion of Arroyo might be better if he could maybe play baseball without maiming himself…
