If the Red Sox did that? Since the 2019 season, the Red Sox have added Perez (twice), Pivetta, Richards, Gossett, Mazza, Godley, Seabold, Whitlock and now German. Sure they are not all star pitchers, but let's not pretend they have been inactive on that front. Getting Sale and ERod back should be a huge boost to the rotation. We'd all like it to be better, but that does not mean it is not already improved. And some of those Jays' pitchers you mention are already off the team, correct? Taijuan Walker, for example...

No. They paid a low price for a high risk pitcher. Taillon was not a salary dump; he was an injury dump. The Pirates have a handful of players who make more or will after their arb hearings, so moving Taillon and his two seasons of control was not something demanding immediate financial attention. But the other players, including pitchers Chad Kuhl and Steve Brault, are more likely to last until July. Cherington is a good evaluator of prospect talent. If he settled for this package of third tier Yankee prospects, it was because no one would give him anything better. And Cashman himself did not offer better because he is aware of the risk of a two-time TJ pitcher...

The Orioles signed Freddy Galvis and DFA'd Shaw. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2021/01/orioles-sign-freddy-galvis.html They also traded Jose Iglesias to Anaheim..

And just as quickly, they end...

Sox are reportedly talking to Mitch Moreland. Notin approves...
-
Semien to Toronto. Hitting will not be an issue for that team...
-
I think Renfroe has another arb year for 2023, at least he does per Soxprospects.com...

I’d be willing to bet the following reliever let an inherited runner (or three) score...
-
It's a difference of one hit every 50 at bats. They're close enough...
-
I could see that happening. But I still want them to go over and sign Odorizzi if it does...
-
Sale's velocity has been 93-95 mph most of his career. The two years he averaged below that range were 2012 and 2016, and he combined for 10 fWAR in those two seasons. So if you want to argue he is a 5 fWAR pitcher and not a 6 fWAR pitcher, I don't think it is going to crush us...
-
mvp specifically said he wanted a left-handed hitting CF. So in order for the Sox to sign Pillar, he has some work to do first...

Does JBJ want Boston?
-
There should be no escalating penalties. Either you're over or you're not.
-
If I had to guess, probably due to multiple teams interested. Kike is a good player, and if Downs takes over 2B next year, Kike can move into a supersub role or take over another position full time. I think his versatility was a big factor...

Working for All Bases Covered Sports Representation?

Not sure. Also not sure why Cleveland, a team that just acquired two middle infielders (Rosario, Gimenez) and still has no left fielder, decided to spend $5mill they claim they never have on another middle infielder. Half of what they effectively cut Brad Hand for making just went to a player to fill a position they had already filled!!
-
Make the tax rate equal to the amount a team is over. If you're $5mill over, you pay 5% of the overage (or $250K). If you're $45mill over, you pay 45% (or $20,250,000)...

You could do a Pederson/Renfroe platoon in Fenway RF. Per Ron Roenicke, Verdugo actually prefers CF. But that leaves Benintendi as a full time LF. I'd actually almost prefer Pederson as a full time RF or CF and Beni platoon with Renfroe at this point...
-
I would have preferred C Hernandez to E Hernandez. But hey, Kike did make my list so I am ok with it.
-
Or at least be more creative. Mayve for the penalties the GM has to: First year over, spend the night locked in an empty corn bin. Second year, you are forced to watch all the "Twilight" movies in a row with your eyes propped open like Alex in "Clockwork Orange" Third year, pickle brine bath!! For 3 hours!! Fourth year, you have to shave an angry black bear. And then fifth and final year, you have to get Bud Selig's name tattooed on your forehead. I think these need to be in the new CBA, and anyone who goes through them needs to have it live-streamed. Except the second year offenders. No "Twilight" live-streaming please...

F the threshold!!

I beat MLBTR by 34 minutes. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2021/01/twins-brewers-have-talked-with-marcus-semien.html Both of these teams are probably planning on utilizing him as a SS, which apparently was something Semien wanted, for those trying to compare him to Kike...
-
Realmuto back to Philly. The Wilson Ramos Sweepstakes begin!!
-
Some chatter from around MLB that somehow is not on MLBTR yet: Marcus Semien appears to be close to making a decision. The Brewers and Twins are two of his choices. Go figure. JBJ is talking to the Mets. JT Realmuto and the Phillies are trying to get something finished. My guess? The Phillies are being kinda cheap here. But hey. they have never made a deal like this in the Sam Fuld Era...
