Sure it does. Check out Machado’s trade value...
-
Do you really thing calling Song “the top of a meager list” is really an endorsement? I’ve been telling you - the right to pay Mookie $30 mill for one year isn’t worth what you and others think it is, especially in a trade where you have to give up players...
-
No. How many minor league teams have an MLB team close enough to be considered an entertainment alternative? And how often are the two teams affiliated to take advantage of fandom? The only team that might be able to take advantage is the Red Sox. And even then, only if the AA and AAA are closed...
-
They can “save money” and still spend $200mill. Just because the team wants to get payroll under $208mill doesn’t mean we’re suddenly the Pittsburgh Pirates...
-
Yes but not by design...
-
I never got that impression, but I’m sure if they could do that and make money, JH would be happy. Here’s one thing about Boston market: we don’t do rebuilds...
-
So .... what notin has been saying...

It really has to depend on what the Sox get. It’s one thing to deal Fred Lynn away from some aging players on the way down. But the Sox did do OK in trading Nomar and Manny despite actually taking much worse players back. I am against trading Betts in a stupid trade. But not against it overall. But I think more and more, keeping Betts looks likely. If the Orioles can’t find a taker for Villar, maybe teams are against any short term veteran trade? Did the Orioles want too much? Do too many GMs think a versatile 4 fWAR power/speed combo at middle infield is NOT really a big deal? That whole situation is weird...
-
Predicting a big deal. And one you (and a lot of others) won’t like...
-
I think some team (the Red Sox, maybe?) might be smart to sign a former top prospect starter who just never put it all together and convert them to a high leverage relief pitcher. Two really good candidates this year are Shelby Miller and Mike Wacha (who’s really more of a health concern)...
-
And the year before. As Roger Daltrey once said: “Mama’s got a squeezebox she wears on her chest.” Wait. That might be the wrong song for this scenario...
-
I know it’s early, but for what? I don’t think anyone was a bigger Johnson critic than I was, but the Sox already had a 40 man roster spot open and haven’t done. anything. Only once in his career has Bloom participated in the Rule 5 draft, which is a good thing because that’s the worst way to acquire players. I almost want a token move to see if Bloom is really working. Or really alive. I don’t need a big move, but something that fogs the mirror more than Josh Osich...
-
It’s still entirely possible that it gets more discussion on this forum than in Bloom’s office...
-
And really, right now as far as I know, the Dodgers are just a hypothetical trade partner. Does anyone know if they’re actually interested? And to what level? They’re a good guess - a team perennially on the cusp possibly looking for that one piece. But no one saw Cincinnati as the trade destination for Trevor Bauer, and the Dodgers made a lot of sense for him, too. Has any team overtly expressed any interest in Betts?
-
One would think, but DD tried to move him and couldn’t get anything for him. If he had value, shouldn’t he have netted something of value?
-
No. I shoot yours down for always involving 3 teams and 18 total players...
-
Nope. None.
-
Has Tomase ever been right about something like this? When was the last time a one year player was traded for multiple top 100 prospects and no money? Even the lopsided Aroldis Chapman deal - excused by its importance to ending a century-long title draught - doesn’t meet this criteria. Don’t like the finance-based website? Fine. But what has history shown you?
-
Never thought he had any...
-
The Gibson news, yes. The cost of free agent starting pitching is relevant to the Red Sox...
-
Yeah if we cannot afford Kyle Gibson and have no internal options, it does make a sticky situation for Bloom...
-
... just signed with the Rangers for 3 years / $30mill, which is a step for setting the market price if the Sox want to get a starter via free agency...
-
While I don’t put Morris in the Hall, I do put him ahead of Jamie Moyer...
-
It’s not like the Sox have Jimmie Foxx manning first base on the parent club...
-
San Diego sent top prospect Luis Urias and SP Eric Lauer to Milwaukee for SP Zach Davies and OF (and play-in game goat) Trent Grisham.
