But at that point, coming back to the system becomes their choice. None of them have made themselves such attractive options that they will be fending off offers, but some might be able to secure other opportunities, possibly overseas...

They also re-signed both Osich and Hernandez...

162 Game Suspension for Robinson Cano for PED Violation
notin replied to a700hitter's topic in Other Baseball
$240 million vs. maybe not getting into Cooperstown? I’d say that huge reward was worth the minimal risk. The league should void contracts of players who test positive. Let 38yo Robinson Cano try to get another 4 year $96 mill contract so he actually has something at risk... -
I think the Sox have already unloaded most if not all of their non-tenders...

Carl Crawford, too...

Sometimes in their articles, they telll you they do include such factors. They had an article at the end of last season about why Betts had such a high value despite the one year of control, and one of the reasons was his Q factor...

I think the trades are largely fair for the most part. But that doesn't mean one or both sides are interested. Just because I need a car and do the math and conclude I can afford a Cadillac doesn't mean I have to go out and buy one. If I decide I do not like that car, it doesn't mean my financial calculations were wrong...

Teams do NOT have to keep Rule 5 picks on their roster all year. They do have other options for holding on to them If a team selected Groome, they could try to work out a trade or cash settlement with the Red Sox, for example. Or they could trade him to another team, who would assume Groome's Rule 5 status and have the same options of keeping him, trading for him, or working out a cash deal. These types of deals happen all the time...

OK. Would you trade Chatham for AA RHP Alex Faedo of the Tigers? Faedo has a surplus value of $5.4 million, is 24 years old, and in 2019 had a 3.90 ERA in AA. Detroit has a slew of better pitching prospects and young pitchers and really needs help around their lineup. The bulk of their SS play last year was handled by Niko Goodrum, who can really play just about anywhere and is listed as a non-tender candidate on MLBTR (although likely a low probability one), and the Tigers don't even have a good SS prospect above A-ball, according to Roster Resource. I would make this deal yesterday. Detroit might as well...

While true, it still means you need another team to go along with such a deal...

I don't see it coming down to "Mazza vs Bazardo" when the Sox have so many other easily replaceable players on the 40-man roster. Mazza is really just the best of the Replaceables...

162 Game Suspension for Robinson Cano for PED Violation

Cano's career easily put him on track for Cooperstown. This second suspension has derailed that, and probably completely.... -
The Sox might trade Barnes, but no one in Red Sox Nation considers him a closer. His salary will certainly limit his appeal for one season, but they can probably still do better than a 27yo AAAA one-dimensional outfielder. I expect them to get an MLB player less control or a lower level prospect they think can blossom. It's also possible Barnes gets dealt for another non-tender candidate who better fits the Sox needs, like Johan Camargo or Jose Urena....
-
So... they traded him at the first opportunity? Wasn't that exactly my point?
-
I'd do it. It makes the Betts trade look even better. So then the question becomes - would Tampa do it? Their willingness is more important than mine...
-
So would you trade Downs, Hernandez, and Wong for Snell and Kiermaier? Snell is owed roughly $41 million over the next 3 seasons and Kiermaier is owed nearly $26 million over the next 2. Tampa would probably prefer not to trade Snell within the division, but how many other team will be willing to take on nearly $67 million in guaranteed contracts?
-
Yeah probably based on his defense. Although he has been a decent minor league hitter..
-
Yes. But is that possible?
-
And that probably doesn't help him when he is in a battle for position with Munoz, Arroyo, and Arauz already.
-
Since I proposed that deal on BTV, they have changed Snell’s value. A package of Snell and Kiermaier has a surplus value of $42.7 million. A package of Downs, Wong and Darwinzon Hernandez has a surplus value of $42.2 million. That deal looks a lot more realistic to me...

I’m pretty sure he’s been available in a trade every day since Day 2 in Seattle...

The 25 and under crowd might be given some level of preference over the 30+ year old AAAA crowd...
