Exactly. Henry’s words mean nothing compared to one year and $27 million...
-
Well, the Orioles traded Machado for two future career minor leaguers, a AAAA utility infielder, and a singular prospect who luster has worn off. So all told, they got nothing. That’s still in play...
-
It’s January, so it isn’t. It’s also probably not in play in July to the extent you mention. And before you run up the white flag, bear in mind Mookie is still with the Sox...
-
I think that might be a bit harsh. It is possible that the best plan to keep Betts long term involves resetting now. Obviously moving Betts to reset and hoping to resign him carries serious risk, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t the best effort. No one is getting excited about the names floating about. So far, they’re just rumors. Hopefully if he deals Betts, he can get a more useful package. And reset. And sign Betts back here for 2021-2030...

Yeah that would be a real killer. I kow you're desperate for the Sox to throw in the towel, but they aren't doing it. It's January 27th. The Sox have not moved one big contract away yet. They have not acquired a single prospect. Know what that means? They're NOT rebuilding. No team has ever started a rebuild at this point in the offseason. So just be ready. Hope Cole stays healthy. Hope that working without the sign stealing doesn't hold the Yankee hitters back too much. Just maybe... you're in for a race...
-
How exactly does that differ from what they do when they're not rebuilding?
-
Who’s rebuilding? The Sox might trade Betts, but they still have Bogaerts, Devers, Benintendi, Martinez, Sale, ERod, Price and Vazquez plus whatever they get for Betts. That’s a pretty good foundation. And if they get MLB players for Betts, even less reason to rebuild...
-
If the Sox get Myers, he becomes less of a need. No way Myers goes into the OF. So with him at 1B, where does Naylor play?
-
Per baseballtradevaues.com, a fair trade would be Betts for Myers, Margot and Mackenzie Gore and $17mill from the Padres. Would anyone make that deal?
-
Accrding to the simulator, the Padres would have to pay $49mill if the deal was Myers, Lucchesi and Naylor for Betts. Or they could pay $15mill and include Luis Campusano and Franchy Cordero...
-
So it's Myers plus Margot/Naylor and Quantrill/Lucchesi plus a $19mill reduction in AAV? I can see waiting on the Dodgers here...
-
Per BR.com, Myers is owed $67mill. If the Padres only want to eat a quarter of that - assuming I am reading this right - they expect the Sox to pay about $50mill. So how does that work from an AAV standpoint?
-
That's one of the most commonly floated trade suggestions on this site, for all the reason you cited, along with the Padres getting a 2fWAR starter for a net cost $9mill per year for the next 3 years. In fact, once before when I floated this same proposal, you questioned why San Diego would be interested...
-
The Sox had both those things last year and how did that turn out?
-
His insanity might work to the Sox' benefit.
-
Oh Bradley is the better player. But why would a GM trade for Bradley at $11mill when he can sign Hamilton for significantly less? Hamilton is averaging a full WAR less per season, but might only sign for $4mill.
-
C'mon. The man did take a displaced Hurricane Katrina family into his home...
-
No idea what they want, but to me Price for Stripling is a tough sell. If they do want Price, it's probably just to lessen what it takes to get Betts. This is a team that lives and dies with its prospects. And the question is, are they really just sending that message to Bloom? San Diego wants Betts, but also wants Boston to take Wil Myers (3 years $67mill). Instead of heaving more deadweight contracts back, the Dodgers are willing to take one on in order to get Betts. I would have thought not taking back Myers was enough appeal on its own, but the Dodgers appear to be going above and beyond...
-
If Bradley starts the season in Boston, he finishes it there as well. And with Pillar and Billy Hamilton still looking for jobs, Bradley doesn't look like the most attractive CF option on the market...
-
Are the Dodgers getting any better by replacing 2018 All Star Ross Stripling with Price?
-
Except that they do not have any sort of history giving out that type of contract to external players. And by “that type of contract”, I just mean 9 figures over 6 or more years. Am I wrong here? I can’t think of anyone...
-
The whole “once he’s gone he ain’t coming back” mentality also applies to the end of 2020, right? First of all, players do re-sign with the team that traded them all the team. Most don’t, largely because there are 29 other teams. We know Betts wants as much money as possible. That keeps the large market Red Sox in the running. Resetting does as well. How many teams have the money available to sign Betts next year? Th Yankees likely spent their allowance this year. The Red Sox can. Maybe the Dodgers. Maybe the Mets. Anyone else?
-
A viewpoint held by myself and Slasher. Although I’d prefer trading others...
-
Never confuse wanting as much money as possible with wanting out of Boston. Not even remotely the same thing...
-
The problem with these articles is they keep listing Dodger prospects but never say who the Dodgers are willing to give up. By merely not asking the Sox to take (someone like) Myers, they’ve already upped the offer...
