    Actually the Sox kicked in $12 mill, which was less than 5% of what those players were owed...

    Said no actual drug test report ever...
  3. notin
    Fairly certain the pending Boston investigation played some part in Cora’s dismissal...

    So “where there’s smoke” logic only applies to Ortiz and steroid usage?
  5. notin
    And the Yankees were reprimanded for misuse of the clubhouse phone in 2017. This stuff is ubiquitous...

    He did let the Tigers and A’s know. He just didn’t go public...

    Is mvp78 still available to manage this team?
  8. notin
    3 down. 27 to go...

    That depends. At what point was Crane aware what was going on? Or Henry?
  10. notin
    None of that has anything to do with Manfred...

    So does that mean that before this off-season, these 4 sportswriters thought there was potential value in dealing Price? That Price would be a straight up salary dump became obvious in 2016. Ditto Eovaldi. The only Sox players I expected anything of value from who were potential trade bait were Betts and some from Bradley. I also think Sale at some point could have serious value on that contract assuming he can prove he isn’t hurt...

    So... Betts, Bradley, Workman, Hembree, Barnes, Price and Eovaldi? Have to wait a bit to sell of Perez...

    There's more than one Cora with coaching experience...
  14. notin
    Exactly. He might have been aware of this for years, but he also might have just learned about it in the last 2 months. There is too much presumption of guilt here...
  15. notin
    Exactly how has he tried to bury the story? As far as any of us know, this story isn't that old. Fiers only started talking 2 months ago...

    I would think the juiced baseballs are a bigger story and blackmark on his regime.

    We have no idea when Manfred knew and when he started his investigation, or that he tried to bury the story. And even if your version is the truth, how does that differ from any other MLB scandal, starting with the Black Sox, through the Pittsburgh Drug Trials and right up to PED's?

    I think it will be Matt Quatraro. Bloom will hire someone he knows. And Quatraro is a former catcher, which does translate into better managing skills in many cases...

    Wrong. Teams might know you're underselling, say, Betts, and make a non-competitive offer. But that just makes it easier for another team to come in with a better offer. And if that one is still low, someone else (or the oginial team) comes back with an even better one. As long as there are mutliple interestd bidders, it will work out. With some of the mega contracts like Price, it does get tougher, but it still can be done. The Mariners did pretty well unloading Robinson Cano. It's not like they were fighting to keep that contract. And they did so with very likely just one team that was interested...

    How are you villifying Manfred here? That's like deciding your neighborhood has too many fires, so you get rid of the fire department...
  21. notin
    Why would Manfred want it to go away? This could be his signature campaign - he could go down in MLB history as the man who cleaned up illegal sign stealing. It's much better than his previous trademark - the man who gave us juiced baseballs...
  22. notin
    Is it too soon to start the “Fire Ron Roenicke” thread? Or should we wait until he is actually hired?
  23. notin
    Isn’t that tantamount to blackballing?
  24. notin
    If Beltran does get fired, he will have done so without ever managing an MLB game. How long is that list?
  25. notin
    Getting fired is NOT an MLB punishment. This is about the Mets distancing themselves from this scandal...
