"Overpaid" when they retire is one thing. $35mill per year is another. Do multiple players really each need to make more than the Gross Domestic Product of Tuvalu ?
-
It's good to see DD interested in baseball again...
-
His brother might have been the ugliest player ever...
-
The players aren’t exactly struggling to put food on the table themselves...
-
I'm saving my pocket change now, just in case...
-
To some degree, we’ve never seen this before. Aquino broke the record for fewest games to 12 home runs.
-
If I was a Yankee fan, I still wouldn’t be upset about that deal. They needed a 1b, not more bullpen help...
-
... which is why Boras will advise him to not opt out this off-season...
-
Yeah Voit’s been a real downer. He did what you needed him to do - make everybody forget about Greg Bird...
-
Except that non-pitcher makes has an AAV $8mill lower. If Price bounces back, it’s a horrible deal. But if Price continues to decline, they’d be better off replacing. $8mill alone won’t do that, but it at least creates a bigger headroom in the budget...

I would expect him to next off-season. It would probably be in the Sox best interest for him to opt out this year. They’re still the most likely team to sign him and they could get him at a lower AAV for more years. Maybe a 4 year $76mill contract? That essentially gets Martinez one extra year for $15mill.

14 home runs in 28 games and 92 at bats. If a fire is burning insanely hot compared to others, that fire is now said to be as hot as Aristides Aquino...

I think I mind that he emptied the farm less than I mind the denial about it...
-
I think DD has run his course...
-
Did you read Nick's post? "We talk constantly about 'emptying out the farm'. Who have we lost really? Can the traded players start for us? You don't think for Sale giving up Kopech and Moncada was a bad trade? Is it now a bad trade because of Sale's new contract? That's not the trade's fault. Have you looked at what our roster would look like with the players traded away?"
-
I will call it a lock that he is better than Brian Johnson or any other internal option the Sox have for 2020...

It's like people want to stop all the talk about emptying the farm. It really isa big deal. you can be happy about the results of 2018 and how those trades factored in, but that doesn't mean you have to rationalize that the Sox didn't give up anything. It's not even true none of those players would be starting for the Sox this year. In no version of reality is Brock Holt superior to Yoan Moncada or Brian Johnson better than Logan Allen. The real issue was the Sox traded away long term potential for short term success. It worked as well as it could in 2018, but the short term success also now appears to have been even shorter than originally hoped for, and one year later the Sox have reached a point where they could use some serious help from the farm...
-
Or Weber or Owings. Personally, I have no faith in Ockimey. He's hitting .213 in the International League. And while he does have 25 HRs, so does former MLB backup catcher Rene Rivera. It's just not the accomplishment it used to be. Chavis, Dalbec and Travis are all better options, and I'm not wild about a couple of them...
-
So are you saying that because we got Sale and Kimbrel, Dombrowski didn’t empty the farm? Things worked out for 2018. But are you saying the Sox couldn’t use: 1) Moncada over Brock Holt? 2) Logan Allen over Brian Johnson? 3) Manny Margot at minimum wage over Jackie Bradley at $10-12mill in 2020? 4) Michael Kopech to replace Rick Porcello? Or in the bullpen next season? It’s ok to be happy with how 2018 turned out, and it’s ok to say the trades were worth it. But why do people keep insisting the Sox didn’t give up anyone good? The only player included in the deal for Kimbrel or the one for Sale whose had his 25th birthday is Carlos Asuaje, who was a throw-in at best...
-
Why give up on Trevor Kelley already? Call up Kelley and leave Ockimey off the roster...
-
I would be extremely surprised if anyone gave JBJ a contract with an AAV of $10mill. AJ Pollock, who is a better all around player, only got a $12mill AAV one year ago...
-
Getting Johnson to the bullpen is a good start. Next we need to get him to another team's bullpen...
-
It might help if Jay Groome could brush his teeth without tearing a tendon...
-
Well, the empty farm is also his doing. Well spent, but certainly his doing...
-
Anyone insisting Pedroia is tarnishing his legacy by not retiring and walking away, for one...
