    I believe AJ Preller said that, too...

    The real problem with all this is the complete lack of names actually being discussed in the deal. The talking heads keep throwing out list after list of some of the top Dodger prospects, but so far, how many have actually been brought up by Friedman? All we know is no Lux and no May. Beyond that, it's anyone's guess. And to further complicate matters, there is the whole Price "Is he included or isn't he" matter. And that does that do for the return package? Obviously since we don't even have the baseline non-Price packge, beyond knowing it will be less, we still know nothing. I can speculate all day long, run baseballtradvalues.com simulator trades and determine "fair" deals. But until we know what the Dodgers are willing to give up, it's nothing more than discussion fodder. All we really know is that whatever Friedman is willing to give up for Betts either with or without Price, Bloom doesn't think it's enough. Maybe Verdugo is the linchpin?

    Patriots. They will just let him test the market because then they know what offers they have to beat...

    And don't forget about Illinois...

    I can't get behind hiring Dewey when I already started by campaign for mvp...

    Well, at least there is some good steak involved. I might have accepted this offer until you included Tauchman...

    Bellinger is among the primary reasons I don't expect the Dodgers to extend Betts. That doesn't mean they won't be involved in his free agent campaign...

    So you think Dalbec is a surefire contributor? Even Chavis slowed down significantly after a hot start...

    But Price was a mistake. Mookie is certainly less likely to be one, but that doesn’t mean he won’t at some point. Mookie want $35 million per year for 12 years. How many good years do you expect from him?

    The Sox have Lin, Peraza, Chavis, and Hernandez all with MLB experience. Not to mention Rule 5 pick Arauz, Chatham, dark horse Chad de la Guerra, and defense-only Jeremy Rivera. They could certainly try their hand at a veteran (you know, like Peraza), but I think they have some depth here. Also, getting Seager for Betts is a waste...

    Either way. The point is they can get Verdugo in the lineup. And really, with those 4, there is no wrong choice for CF. Any of Betts, Pollock, Bellinger and Verdugo can handle the position...

    I see. I left out a strategically placed “not” that did alter the entire meaning. It is now fixed...

    I’d be surprised (and also thrilled) if Verdugo was part of this deal. Even more so than if Urias was. If the Dodgers acquire Betts, where does he pla, with them having Betts, Pollock and Bellinger for OF. My thoughts are Verdugo in CF. Bellinger to 1b. Muncy to 2b. I doubt Verdugo is in play here...

    Yeah that wasn’t really fallout from the Tudor trade. I think you’re thinking of Dennis Eckersley (who is not left-handed)...

    Bellinger had a .681 OPS vs LHP that year. And Pederson had a .512 OPS vs LHP that year. Granted that was only in 87 plate appearances. I can see benching them. Heck they benched Pederson all year against LHP. Muncy was .891. His benching made no sense..

    So you think Mookie doesn’t realize he’s not as good as Trout, but does think Trout is fairly paid, and that he (Mookie) deserves more? Mookie wants more than Trout so far. So if you think the first thought is crazy, then this is the only other option...

    But the trade of Tudor got us Don Baylor (via Mike Easler)...
  18. notin
    No Scioscia!! The Sox don’t have a closer for him to burn out...
  19. notin
    And if he is well on his way to another 92 loss season on July31, and still holds on to Betts all the way to free agency, he should be gone...

    After the job he did on that farm system, he will be unemployed for potentially dozens of minutes...

    Wow. You come from a big family..

    So are you recommending Dahlek umpires from Dr. Who? "The runner has been EXTERMINATED!!! EXTERMINATED!!!"
  24. notin
    The AAV on Myers contract is $13.8mill. He does have roughly $67mill remaining on the heavily backloaded contract. If the Padres paid half (~$33mill over 3 years), the Sox would only be responsible for $2.8 mill of that AAV, right?
  25. notin
    Ah but what happens when you have a clever manager who hits the umpire with a logical paradox?
