Longevity is underrated, if anything. In a game where younger players and “next great things” are coming up every year, the ability to fend them off and keep your job should not be so casually overlooked...
-
Not a bad trade. Simulator gives it a $12mill surplus advantage to Philly.

That’s not his salary. His trade value is roughly his projected fWAR dollars minus his salary, with some other details (such as the draft pick comp you get from a Mookie). But he will make $27mill this year, which he will get paid. In cash. After every game...
-
I agree. Or even a few prospects...
-
I think it always was. Trading a $27mill salary is rarely easy...

One somewhat awful deal that does everything for Boston is to trade Betts and Price plus $21mill for Gonsolin, Joc Pederson, and 28yo Cuban RHP Yasiel Sierra (owed $13mill through 2021 with a $6mill AAV) This move would allow for an easy reset as it clears about $38 mill off the tax number. It does leave the Sox exposed vs LHP with both Bradley and Pederson starting in the OF. But this is where Bloom’s plan of hoarding every available LHP shows it’s true logic...

Well, the point is to remember it’s January 22nd and deals certainly happen later than today...

That’s what everyone thought about Kimbrel at the beginning of April, 2015...

If they trade Mookie, they can probably sign Puig for less than what Rusney makes...

There is a very big gray area between “not able to play baseball” and “on crutches”...

I’d like to see them reset or position themselves to reset while staying competitive. The big problem is trading g Price doesn’t make sense. With the reported money required to include or take back, plus the money needed to replace Price, it seems like breaking even is the most likely outcome. I don’t want to trade Betts, but it does make sense in some ways, depending what comes back. Trading Bradley will have minimal impact, since Billy Hamilton is available for less money. But I did have a 3 step jumping off point I liked that at least made the team competitive, although I think 2 more steps are required. Tthe one where we add Puig, Hellickson, and Lamb. A Bradley/Lamb trade does make sense for both teams, but only gets the Sox about $6mill closer to resetting. Of course to make that work, the Sox need a fourth OF since you never know if Puig will go AWOL. (I recommend Cesar Puello.). And to fit him in the roster, you need to either make a deal with a Houston to keep Arauz (if you like him) or just send him back.

Especially since you haven’t won anything in over 30 years and you’ve lost two of the last 3 World Series to teams currently embroiled in cheating scandals. The main reason to not make it is you think you’re already good enough, since it might have taken cheating to knock you out...
-
He’s going to sign somewhere next season. And it’s going to be somewhere that pays a lot. The Sox are certainly on the short list there, and a few other teams have probably already committed enough money elsewhere that they can be easily overbid...
-
One of only two players in MLB history to win Rookie of the Year, MVP, Gold Glove and Silver Slugger all in his first two seasons...
-
No. This is a fake punt. But one where the signal call made before the snap is “Fake punt on 3!” Or something along the lines of Chico Marx play calling in “Horsefeathers”. But with a rhyme for “fake punt”...
-
This is a terrible punt. So far the Sox have not unloaded one big contract, not trade away one veteran player, and not acquired one prospect. If the Sox are rebuilding, they need to learn how to do it...

Perverts have families, too...

You asked if there would be any issue if Henry didn’t announce the cut in payroll, but just didn’t spend. That was pretty much last off-season in a nutshell, right? Do you think (or know) if their lack of action had an impact?

JDM says absolutely no cheating and team will be cleared

No that idea came from Beltran’s niece, who was left on the group text after Carlos went to NY... -
Were there any in 2019? That was the exact off-season plan...

Since he realized the whole thing could be done for $500 and a trip to Best Buy? Despite attempts to make this scheme look elaborate and advanced, they were banging a garbage can. If Crane was involved, don’t you think he’d say “What? Spend some real money and get an actual messaging system.” -
The Red Sox have clearly moved on, but it’s not up to them about whether or not Pedroia retires and walks away from all the money he’s owed (which he ain’t gonna do)...

All the stolen signs in the world can’t turn Hector Velasquez and Ryan Weber into quality starting pitchers...
