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...
-
Colome and Joc Pederson. And maybe Mitch Moreland. I'm modifying my plan...
-
Yes. That is when they ripen and practically fall off the tree at their peak juiciness...
-
Also true. Missed him because he is not listed as a CF. I am a rare one who likes Pederson and would not bother platooning him. He gets 5-10 PA vs LHP every year. He's not going to learn to hit them without getting more. I'd be OK with bringing on Pederson for RF/CF. Wonder what his demands are. I'm calling Bloom...
-
Yes. Don't you? The only way it isn't is if Renfroe just takes over RF and Verdugo moves to CF, leaving Benntendi on his own in LF. Exactly, which is what I would try to avoid...
-
I think we know who is platooning with Renfroe. As for a LHH CF, the options are: via Free agency: Bradley Brian Goodwin Billy Hamilton (S) Jarrod Dyson Jon Jay Danny Santana (S) Dee Strange-Gordon via trade: Ender Inciarte Adam Hasely Roman Quinn (S) Not sure what other LHH CFs can be had via trade. I will say I do like the LHH off the bench thing more so because I would prefer a Plan B in case Dalbec goes all Chavis on this team after he gets exposed. Mitch Moreland should suffice. Becuase right now, if Dalbec flummoxes, who plays 1b? Chavis and/or Ockimey?
-
Ozuna is not a horrible defensive OF. He actually had seasons where he put up good defensive metrics in CF...
-
Hopefully the Sox can get another arm (or two - hey, MiLB deals are a good thing) and a RF/CF and they might actually have a decent team. If they get Colome and Ozuna, I would think this team could get a WC. And if things break right, who knows?
-
And if that happens, hopefuly it keeps the Sox in some sort of contention. Richards has a team option already, so that one has been taken care of. (And he is not a guy you go long term with anyway.) ERod is really the only long term candidate from the option year guys...
-
Yeah, those NESN expenses were killing the Sox on the luxury tax...

Sox sign Garrett Richards, pending physical
notin replied to illinoisredsox's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Is it? If he is earmarked for the bull;pen, leave him out there and let him pitch as needed. I just don't like the idea making him a reliever until needed as a starter. If he is a relief pitcher, put him in the bullpen. If he is a starter, but him in either rotation - Boston or Worcester - to start the season until he is needed in Boston. and if he goes to Worcester, that is a good thing because it means the Sox have 5 healthy starters for the start of the season. Service time need not be an issue with older rookies. This is not a guy who is going to be commanding $30-35 mill when he hits the open market... -
By beating us up while wearing another uniform?
-
While possible, as long as those players are out there, no one wants Benintendi. Although Benintendi seems like an odd fallback for a team that misses out on JBJ...
-
The Sox are positioned right now that could make some sort of "make or break" move to improve the 2021 season and try for post-season contention. And if they are out of it at the deadline, they have enough short term deals that can still do a mini fire sale and get some prospects/young major leaguers and be poised for 2022. Right now, they have the following players in their final year aka deadline trade bait: Rodriguez, Barnes, Ottavino, and Richards And then they have the additional year for Benintendi, Andriese, Eovaldi and Plawecki. Even in the biggest deadline fire sales, how many deals an one team make? If they only move the one year players, that's four trades at one deadline, which is an awful lot for any team to make in that time frame anyway.

Sox sign Garrett Richards, pending physical
notin replied to illinoisredsox's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Either way. At that point, you're getting to the downside of his career. His age 25 season is likely to be just as good. That is all assuming he even has a full 6 year career, which is well above league average... -
And certainly a better chance than even a "good prospect" turning into what Beni used to be. The Sox explored dealing Benintendi, but it turned out to be nothing more than due diligence. The league was not interested. and now it's Benintendi's job to make them all look silly for it...
-
Why could you possibly find that puzzling? (Hint: It has to do with pinstripes.) If the Sox had been the team to acquire Taillon, he would be making long medically-based posts about how much of a risk it was...
-
Margot is a good one. Forgot about him. but OF depth is not a strongsuit of the Sox farm. We have Jarren Duran, who struggled in AA but does seem to impress in these MiLB-equivalent short seasons like the AFL and the one in Puerto Rico. And beyond him, the next two best OF prospects are two guys who play the the same position (CF). And then we have Nick Decker, who seems like he has been in A ball forever. But I guess he is still only 21. After that, probably nothing more than a bunch of longshots..
