We've seen it before. Henry does not like paying luxury taxes and the goal was to reset. They did it in 2012. They did it in 2017. And they did it again after 2020. It's typically followed by a spending spree. So far. we have seen no such spending spree. But despite the glacially paced offseason, we have still only seen two contracts break the previously held deal by James McCann for largest deal this offseason. -
Because they did not get signing bonuses...
-
I am not sure I can name any. Sugano did not sign with another team. He bailed on Kim prematurely. Odorizzi and Semien have yet to sign anywhere. And anyone else we have no idea if or if not there was anything above cursory interest and/or due diligence. So far, Kluber looks like the real first target that he "lost out" on...
-
At least we know they won't say "Select all squares with a strike in them"...
-
How many players besides Kluber was Bloom really in on that went on to sign with other MLB teams?
-
Of course the interesting angle in all of this is Trevor Bauer loses suitors with every big contract, and might even see his price come down over the next month. He’s going to sign somewhere and the Sox are going to sign someone...
-
Pitchers and catchers report in a month. Shouldn’t be an issue for the Sox, as they have no pitchers...
-
Tazawa never pitched in NPB and was never posted. Straight up free agent...
-
So just implement robot fans...
-
I’m guessing you don’t realize Friedman never did that...
-
And DEFCON3 is the step for “increased readiness”. I get that when I have too much coffee ...
-
Do people really want a robotic version of Angel Hernandez or Joe West? Programmed completely with bad eye sight, unsolicited temper flare ups and random ejection of players for no reason?
-
Or the Yankees offered more money...
-
Well we do still have Sale and ERod. Hopefully Bloom moves on to Odorizzi and gets some PR/improvements done quickly...
-
My guess - Kluber is the top choice, with Odorizzi being Plan B. I have my doubts they sign both and are more likely to get neither than the two of them. So hopefully they can land one...
-
Agreed. Do you want to call Chaim or shall I?
-
He missed out on Stanek..
-
Hopefully only an MiLB deal...
-
Gonzalez has been fairly mediocre outside of one year when he listened to a steady stream of banging garbage cans...
-
Is he still active?
-
I suspected they knew Ellsbury was leaving so they got their replacement when he was available rather than waiting..
-
The ones worn by Bauer and/or Springer?
-
True. Chalk me up as one who gets overly critical of many FA signings. But sometimes I will admit the failure is on the part of the player and not on the notion of bringing him to Boston. Carl Crawford was a massive flop, but I did understand why they signed him. Or at least I had my own completely unsupported theory as to why the move made sense...
-
While true, there is still no denying the Rays Connection...
-
Colome and Peacock? Maybe Yusmeiro Petit? He seems to be underrated and undervalued every season...
