Anything reactionary is stupid, but they certainly could make a reactionary payroll cut that hurt the team, like trading Bogaerts...
-
Never understood the Porcello hate.

If the Mets are trading for a short term, win now asset like Correa, why would they deal Syndergaard?
-
The only 3 pitchers guaranteed a spot in this rotation are Sale, Eovaldi, and Rodriguez. Is Perez even going to start? Or be the guy to come in in the third inning behind Darwinzon Hernandez? I would be very surprised at this point if the Sox didn’t start using the opener strategy. Or maybe Perez is just going to the bullpen. Last year, his cut fastball was more effective than Mariano Rivera’s (for striking batters out) through August, but then he stopped locating it. (Source: Fangraphs. Google it, Jacko.) Candidate for reduced workload?

Do you have an online source somewhere? This seems a little big to have been kept out of the media beyond just one offhand Gammons comment on the radio...

He might even be Pedroia's replacement...

Source?

San Diego was paying Myers $5mill per year. Now in the last 3 years, he is due $22.5mill each year. He is also their fifth outfielder and highest paid outfielder. They will not balk on any deal...

And says absolutely nothing new...

I’d be surprised if that was the deal...

Red Sox select SS Jonathan Arauz in Rule V draft
notin replied to jacksonianmarch's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
But is he ever near the strike zone? Also worth pointing out, he’s 28 years old... -
It’s like he has a devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other, but since both are wearing Mariners’ caps and Ichiro jerseys, they often agree with each other about what he’s saying...
-
And I was equally disappointed when you did..,
-
Seriously? Do I have to state the obvious? They can have a payroll in the $220 mill range this year and still be below the $208 threshold for aggregate AAV towards the luxury tax. These are NOT mutually exclusive statements. In fact, those backloaded contracts are their more likely acquisitions as teams try to get out of paying the real money...
-
Harmony claims to be objective, but he does like choosing his ranges to make Boston players look bad and Seattle players look good. If someone learned everything they knew about baseball solely from his posts, they’d think Seattle had at least 4 titles this millennia and Boston was clearly the team that hasn’t played in the postseason for the last 18 years...

The Red Sox aren’t tanking and not going to be a small market team. They’re still going to spend money this year. They might only spend $220mill instead of $240mil, but it turns out, that’s still a lot of money...
-
The Sox paying is still going to be around, if not over, $200 million. That’s not a small market payroll...
-
Price for Upton? Then trade Benintendi?
-
False alarm. No breathe on the mirror...
-
i doubt they brought Bloom in so that they could cut money and be mediocre for 5 years. The plan was to be competitive with less money. Since Bloom built a playoff team with the lowest payroll in MLB, he was an obvious candidate for that plan...
-
Wacha, Lindblom, and Roark are off the market. Roark got 2/$24mill. But Lindblom and Wacha got base salaries around $3mill with incentives...

Calling All Budgies - the Red Sox 2020 payroll thread
notin replied to Bellhorn04's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Resetting is one thing. Resetting and staying competetive is another. I don’t care if the Sox reset and save some cash. But if it means watching Mike Shawaryn pitch 30 games, all of them behind Hector Velasquez, while Gorkys Hernandez is trolling CF full time, I am going to hope some good movies come out this summer... -
There is something to that. If you were a GM, would you prefer getting Price via trade and taking $96mill for three years? Or signing Homer Bailey for 1 year at $10mill and hoping it doesn’t backfire?
-
MLBTR gave reasons why the Sox will try to get under the limit, and in essence, going over for another year will end up costing the team about $100 million in various ways. Even to John Henry, $100 million is a lot of money...
