But once they reset, I expect them back over the limit in 2021, with Betts back for the long haul...
-
I'm assuming the reset is a one time thing. But they don't matter in that the AAV doesn't escalate just because the salary does...
-
The Brewers are another possibility. They could use a 3B, and don't need CF/RF Trent Gresham. baseballtradevalues.com says a deal of Dalbec for Gresham and RHP Freddy Peralta is a match. Not sure the Milwaukee GM would agree...
-
.811 OPS in AA last year. He's never played AAA, but no AAA league is worse for evaluating hitters than the Pacific Coast League anyway...
-
The later years don't matter. What matters towards luxury tax is the average annual value of the contract. For Odor, that's $8.25mill, so even with Mazara at $5.7mill, it's far less than the $17mill for Eovaldi's AAV. The Sox would save about $3.05mill towards to luxury tax with this deal...

If you believe in lineup protection, does that make BA meaningless?
-
Dalbec to Anaheim for CF Brandon Marsh? If Devers isn't going to 1b, Dalbec is blocked. Putting him at 1B doesn't really do much, as that position can easily be filled with a hitter more likely to contribute and it doesn't take advantage of Dalbec's biggest strength. Anaheim doesn't really have a 3B. They did use Tommy La Stella in his breakout campaign last year, but he can also play 2B. Marsh is unlikely to see outfield time in Anaheim with Upton-Trout-Adell in front of him and Ohtani holding down the DH role...
-
Jake Arrietta and Kenley Jansen have declined their opt out clauses. As has Rusney Castillo is what will undoubtedly be the least surprising move of the entire off-season. No word yet from JDM...
-
... for a next-to-nothing 1b prospect. I’ll give Bloom a pass since Anderson has not been one to perform up to his salary the past couple seasons...
-
Seeing them as well. We’re probably all seein different ads because web advertisements are often customized to the viewer whether he/she likes it or not. Thank you, Google and Facebook...
-
Actually Latino players were always allowed. Many African American players pretended to be Latino. But you left out removing foul poles and free agency, bringing back Sunday double headers (which should actually happen IMO), and allowing spitballs and steroids...
-
The major flaw in DD' plan to ignore the future was the future gt here faster than expected. If the Sox been in position to make the playoffs, would he have been fired at that time? And if they did make the post-season, would he have been fired at all? This is all hypothetical, of course...
-
In fact, JD has both options. If he does not like where the Sox trade him, he can opt out after 2020...
-
But any team acquiring a DH on a short (potentially one year) deal might be a little hesitant to part with a quality starting pitcher, as both Martinez and said pitcher will be expected to be integral parts of a pennant run...
-
That's probably why he struggled so much in Arizona and was hated there for it...
-
Maybe other ownerships were less involved and gave him more autonomy...
-
I think it’s very possible Mata makes his debut in the 2020 season, but hopefully not until July at the earliest. I see Dalbec as either trade bait or taking over 3b with Devers moving to 1b. A big part of Dalbec’s game is his defense at 3b, which will be a positive contribution even if he struggles offensively. I doubt Chatham is on the radar. The Sox already have Marco Hernandez and Tzu-Wei Lin, both of whom are capable and more experienced utility players, and Chatham doesn’t need to be added to the 40 man roster yet Duran doesn’t need to be added to the 40 man roster, either. And has only been playing outfield for one year. While the Sox are likely to need outfielders, I’m not sure Duran is a candidate yet. Or if he is ahead of Marcus Wilson, who has more outfield experience. I don’t like Dalbec (again, good defense wasted at DH) or Moreland for a DH role. The aging Encarnacion might be a good short term DH, and has always expressed a desire to come to Boston and succeed fellow countryman Ortiz at DH. He might even come at relative bargain price...
-
Her love of the name Scooter Gennett should in no way be construed as support of Scooter Libby. That’s my best guess as what you could possibly mean here...
-
So if JD does not opt out, should the Red Sox trade him?
-
I might argue Duquette left the Red Sox with a “great farm.” Prior to his last season in 2001, the top prospects were Brad Baker (BA #76), the late Dernell Stenson (BA #77), and Tony Blanco (BA #87). After that season, the farm was headlined by Seung Song (BA #60) and Tony Blanco (BA #93). Only Hanley Ramirez (BA #19 in 2003) remained among Duquette prospects to make a significant impact in the majors. After he left, the Sox added players like Jon Lester and Anibal Sanchez who became much better major leaguers...
-
Because there is an additional adjustment for the player’s position. A left fielder with 2 dWAR is not the same as a centerfielder with 2 dWAR...
-
Only if the Sox play him in one of the months he’s actually hitting...
-
My thoughts are, not like I have idea when these guys should be promoted anyway.
-
I’d be interested, although I would wonder what Texas would hope to get Price for. Moving Price, as insanely difficult as it would be, would make for a successful offseason. But if Texas would take Eovaldi/Bradley for Odor/Mazara, Boston should do it today!!
-
I’m not so sure Moustakas is low cost. If he was, Milwaukee would he retaining him. Zobrist is 38 or 39 or more. He might retire. Possibly involuntarily. I could see Gennett or Dozier or the massively underrated Gyorko on Bloom’s radar. Gyorko might even be a 1b option...
