So far today, we've seen Sean Doolittle (a most ironic name for this post) sign. So maybe it's 2/3 - 2/14?
-
Bloom and 29 other GMs

And the biggest name on the market still without an employer. Heck, 16 of the top 50 (per MLBTR) are still without new contracts...
-
You know, I was talking about that just the other day to Bobby Bonilla. I think we both know that the impact on the AAV and luxury tax of the Dodgers is a bigger deal than it will be on Betts' life and financial situation....
-
He has a lot more time at 2B than OF. And his metrics at 2B are better than Strange-Gordon's are in the OF...
-
He's going to take up shaving birds and collecting deodorants from around the world...
-
While it would surprise me if the plan all along was to use Hernandez in CF, it certainly does have a lot of merit...
-
You need to drink more...
-
Since 2001, Kauffman Stadium with 17. Both Miller Park and Chase Field have had 13. Miller Park and Chase Field are both more known as home run friendly parks for balls leaving the yard....

And the Coors factor is a commonly cited reason why he has not been able to walk into Cooperstown. Although it did not hamper Larry Walker all that much...

They were close. https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trades/trade-40839/

Those .200 point OPS splits are why I do not mind the Sox staying away from the heavily paid Rockie sluggers like Arendao and Blackmon, whose .987/.747 splits are slightly worse and who does not bring gold Glove caliber defense along with him...
-
How many OF-2B types does this team need? Especially ones who suck in the OF?
-
THe deferrals do not affect the actual value of the deal. They just play games with the AAV for tax purposes. It may take a little longer than the contract states, but at some point Dodgers' ownership is going to pay him $365 million dollars...

But those “sure things” get expensive fast. And the only way to keep the ones you have is to make sure you have a few semi-capable minimum wage players on hand. And the more “sure things” you take on, the tougher it gets to keep your own. No one wanted to see Betts go, except possibly Betts. And for all the talk about his extension with LA being a foregone conclusion from Day One, it still took the largest contract in MLB history to keep him there. And that’s what it took to keep him someplace where he was already HAPPY!! But because the Dodgers had Seager and Bellinger and Buehler and Gonsolin and found some scrap heap gems in Muncy and Taylor, and they had a stream of minor league arms, they had a lot better positioned to afford Betts. At least for now. We’ll see if it enables them to hold on to Bellinger...

There’s also that Schilling guy, who certainly has the track record to be in Cooperstown...
-
An easy list to find disagreements with. Mike Yastrzemski over Jake Arrieta? Max Fried over Corey Kluber? And those two were spotted on first glance. Also, Randy Johnson and Trevor Hoffman were essentially prospects when each was traded. The same can be said for that skinny kid Tommy LaSorda didn’t like. You know, Ramon’s brother...
-
That was the whole point - that they woud only deal Devers (or Vazquez, apparently) if they were getting back "too much". ..
-
I assume waist size was one of those numbers...
-
Very likely. But we don't know any of this until it actually becomes official, which it never might. and hey, maybe they get him for a 2 year low AAV deal...
-
So no Ronald Acuna and Ozzie Albies?
-
But see all of the might wind up as average players. It's an overpay by some standards, but I would take my chances with Devers. Now if maybe Ian Anderson found his way into that deal...
-
Really the only benefit for the 2021 Red Sox is they get an open 40 man roster space a couple weeks earlier...
-
I think I'd be hesitant. Sure, they could get a boatload of young talent, but even some of the highest rated prospects might not work out like Devers has. Would you deal him for Wander Franco? That's basically an overpay, but is it a good idea?
-
Even Devers?
