It is very possible. It's also possible if JD opts out, the Sox resign him, possibly at a lower AAV but for 4+ years. (Really, what other teams will be looking at him for a better deal?) If that happens, any trade of Betts is completely up in the air. But if Betts isn' traded, it does mean JBJ is likely traded or, more likely, non-tendered. However, like JDM, it is possible Bradley is re-signed at a lower salary than anticipated in arbitration (which is in the $10-12mill range)...
-
So you'd rather have JBJ than Martinez or Betts? JDM and Betts are the type of players you build a championship lineup around. Bradley is the type of player you build around a Martinez or Betts with. If JD opts out and the Sox trade Betts, there is really no reason to keep Bradley. If the Sox trade Betts and lose JD, Rusney Castillo actually makes more sense for the Sox outfield than Bradley...

Papi failed a drug test? You might consider revisiting the history on that one...

Maybe Brannen will be out of A ball by then...

That is 100% dependent on the people involved. The Sox did have a small committee before when Epstein walked out, and there was none of that. In fact, they pulled off one of the most important trades for the 2007 World Series title...

FIRE DANA LEVANGIE or say he's retiring NOW !!!!!

No one wants to return to the team/company/organization/whatever that fired them in a lower capacity. No one... -
He’s using the age-old trick “Draft the kids of stars.” Such an obvious move, yet so few teams try it with such frequency...

I’ve been saying that for 2 years...

While trading Betts reduces the chances, I don't think it;s necessarily a white flag. Depends on what comes back and what other moves are made....
-
Rizzo is in the last two years of his deal, both of which are team options. Both are $16.5 mill with $2mill buyouts. Only gets on more year of a player, although it would lower payroll. Not sure the Cubs would be on board...

Yes, if Hamels was still any good. A package from the Phillies would be something like RHP Adonis Medina (AA) and INF/OF Scott Kingery...
-
I don’t see the Sox getting multiple topflight prospects or controllable Major Leaguers for Betts, at least not more than two. My hope is if they trade him, the Phillies seem to be the best matchupfor prospects. The Braves and Dodgers are both stacked as well, but it’s hard to say if either will be interested, although both should be...
-
One year of Betts is not going to return anything equal to Betts in a trade. But a reset at least brings him back into play for 2021. Per Sam Kennedy, “getting under [the first limit] is a goal, but not a mandate.” This does mean that one of Betts or Martinez is likely gone. Of course, the Sox might have no say in Martinez...
-
Good question. My thinking is you get more for Betts, ad if the goal is to reset, it becomes easier without Betts. They could easily reverse those two. But the market for JD will certainly be more limited...
-
I believe next year, rosters expand to 26 players. This means the 8 man bullpen will be all but standard. Some teams might even have 9 relievers. Upshot: having a single 200 IP SP will become a rarity. A team with three 200 IP starting pitchers will be harder to find than Sasquatch...
-
I think it will be even simpler. I don’t think JD will opt out, since he’ll do better after 2020. I do think Betts gets traded. Best landing spots IMO are the Mets and Phillies. But I expect another name or two to pop up. I think the Sox offer arb to Barnes, Benintendi, Hembree and Workman. I think the Sox make a couple simple FA signings, like Matt Adams, Hector Rondon. No really big deals here. JBJ will either be traded or (more likely) non-tendered. So maybe sign someone like Juan Lagares or a trade for a cheap CF to replace Bradley without hitting the farm. Something like Marcus Walden for Brian Goodwin.
-
It just mans there are questions around his return, which we all know. The people putting together the promos know it’s possible he’s gone; they have to. Even I know that. But it doesn’t mean the Sox front office gave them a directive to keep him out. The Sox don’t even know who the GM is. So knowing who goes and stays is certainly not etched in stone already. Heck, it’s entirely possible Mookie’s fate hinges on whether or not Martinez opts out...
-
Berrios did have a good season overall, but he really wasn’t that effective for the final two months, in which his ERA was 5.83 and his OPSA was .835. This was no real surprise...
-
Really? You see another team taking on either contract? It would be easier to trade JD Martinez than either Price or Sale...

The Sox aren’t going to just fire people randomly until a new GM is in place. And firing and replacing Levangie isn’t even a guaranteed step forward... -
And there’s a big difference between direct comments/smears from the FO and anonymous source stories...
-
Also Shaun Anderson. But I didn't even get in to the RP thing. We have used several of them in the bullpen, like Barnes, Workman, Lakins, Shawaryn, Poyner. The commentary is about developing starting pitchers. The Sox have produced many pitchers in recent years..
-
The only real incident I can recall about the font office doing so was with Nomar, which did have a few comments from John Henry. Now at some point, there is a source for Shaungnessy's story. And he isn't a beat guy out there hunting down people for interviews. Maybe his source is one? Or was it just some impression he got?
-
The jersey incident was in protest for what Sale (and Adam Eaton) viewed as unfair treatment of Adam LaRoche, despite opinions in the clubhouse being divided about that same treatment. Is sticking up for a teammate the right way or the wrong way? It was no real surprise that the White Sox rebuilt their organization by dealing those two players away...
-
I thought it was Tomase. Either way, that whole scenario was insanely overblown. AJ Pierzynski, who was then with the White Sox, said on the radio "I've been with 3 teams and seen that in 3 different clubhouses." What MLB players saw as commonplace, the Boston media and Sox fanbase saw as an enormous problem...
