The comparison was the process. How much do you think JBJ should be paid?
-
Irrelevant. Bradley makes $8.8mill and will get somewhere in the $10-12 mill range in arbitration. Dombrowski isn’t going to pay that much for a glove only CF. No team is So when Bradley reaches free agency, the Sox will approach him with an offer. If it’s the best offer, he comes back. And it might be the best offer. If you don’t like the Leon comp (for irrelevant reasons, Oakland did the same with Mike Fiers

From previous conversations with moon, the Sox could get under the limit and keep Mookie, which surprised me given we really don’t know what Mookie’s salary is. And I wouldn’t consider non-tendering JBJ a fire sale or even close to it. He’s the the ninth spot hitter and isn’t really all that involved defensively. He’s also not worth $10-12mill, and can and probably will be replaced for less. The Sox might even bring Bradley back for less, a move you seem to doubt happens but teams re-sign their own non-tenders all the time. (The Sox did it last year with Sandy Leon.) I also think the Sox should consider trading Barnes and Dalbec, but that also doesn’t make it a fire sale. Especially if they target major leaguers in return...

I wouldn’t say the Sox chances of re-signing Mookie are highly unlikely. The chances of extending him before free agency? Sure. If theSix reset the limit in 2020, they will be able to spend again with minimal penalties. They already have an advantage over 3/4 of MLB in that they can afford the type of contract Mookie wants. It’s not really fair to say “Well, where do you think he’ll go?” But his options will be limited just because of his asking price. And Boston van position themselves to afford his demands better by resetting this coming year. If changes of him re-signing are truly highly unlikely, might as well trade him...

Very true. If it turns out Sale can’t go for 2020, the Sox might as unload Betts and maybe a couple others capable of getting a good return...
-
For 2020, it’s a safe bet we know who 4 of the starters are. The questions surround: the fifth starter 1b/2b/Chavis bullpen center field

The free agent market will have: Juan Lagares Cameron Maybin Billy Hamilton Jarrod Dyson Via trade, some possibilities include: Ender Inciarte Michael Taylor Travis Jankowski Kevin Pillar Inciarte is a great fit and Atlanta is ready to move on...

I like JBJ but in no way is he any type of insurance on Mookie’s departure. Mookie is an MVP. Bradley is a one time All Star with good defense and remarkably inconsistent offense who is set to make $10-12mill. Obviously we don’t know for certain if a reset is in the plans, but it makes more sense to do it after 2019 than 2020. Resetting after 2019 allows the Sox to spend HEAVILY on Betts at minimal penalty. Resetting after 2020 would mean Betts is definitely not coming back. I expect JD to stay, but obviously the only man he’ll be talking to is Scott Boras. But JD makes $23mill in 2020 and then his salary drops to $19.8mill for 2021 and 2022. As he can also opt out after 2020, I expect he might opt out after 2020 and try to get a 3-4 year deal at a lower AAV...

Yes but affording Corbin and Torres and Judge is another matter...
-
There may be some truth to their criticisms, but sometimes sports journalists both on radio and in the papers can be overly critical or simply work with less information. And far too often they only look at the short term. For example, ripping Cashman for not signing Corbin. Sure, Corbin would have been great this year, but that contract runs through 2025. That’s a long time to be paying $25mill to a pitcher who gets hurt a lot. And if Corbin spend the next 6 seasons on and off the IL, will the stance of these radio guys change? If paying that much to an injured Corbin got in the way of paying arb contracts to Torres and Judge, those same radio talking heads who are ripping him for not getting Corbin would suddenly start ripping him for getting Corbin. Cashman isn’t perfect, but he has done a lot of good for the Yankees...

Although it’s not like those contracts were all that equal...

So who goes? Curletta, Smith, and ? Weber?

8/07 Royals @ Boston

Yes. Go Colts. And take the Pacers with you... -
Click on "Sortable Schedule" from that same drop down and you can access the remaining 2019 games...

The only player on the 40-man roster we haven't seen this year is Joey Curletta, who's hitting .205 with a .657 OPS in Portland. Is your belly button puckering and unpuckering with excitement too? The only players who might even be somewhat intriguing who might be called up are Dalbec, Chatham, and Reyes, but none of them are really killing it in the minors right now. (Dalbec is somewhat impressive, but his .234 BA in Pawtucket doesn't scream "promote me!" We might see Dalbec and/or Reyes, I guess. But we have to DFA a couple people first. I nominate Curletta and Smith...

And maybe someday, Kyle Wren...

Start a thread about 2020 if that’s what you want to discuss. People who don’t want to talk about it yet or want to focus on 2019 can just avoid it and talk on those dedicated treads...

Oh his anger-filled attitude was a dead giveaway...
-
Did you really take “nothing left to prove at third” seriously?
-
Odd from you. I take it you think he has nothing left to prove at third?
-
More than Rivera?
-
Better than SF QB CJ Beathard? Granted this one is only funny in print
-
Which he said about them why?
-
If only they were clean like the Yankees...

Happy 80th Birthday Captain Carl Yastrzemski!

So you share a birthday with Yaz and a name with Fred Lynn?
