There's no indication Eppler is leaving Los Angeles, and he's not such a marquee name that he would automatically be a candidate in Boston if he did...

The Nationals can be very dangerous in a short series, with Strasburg, Corbin and Scherzer lined up...

I like to think that. But honestly, I have no idea how true it is for any owner of any team...

FIRE DANA LEVANGIE or say he's retiring NOW !!!!!
notin replied to Swiharts Ghost's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
There is a hierarchy in play here. DD was fired. They will bring in or promote a new GM. That GM will make a decision about Cora. If Cora is fired, then the new GM will bring in a new manager. That manager will make a decision about Levangie. As well as all the other coaches. Firing Levangie now is no different than firing him in January. There is no reason to rush for the same of rushing... -
Can you blame his wife for being concerned about the finances? She just turned 40 and her days of being a trophy wife are numbered...
-
Do you think the ROI was just the financial return? Or was some of it the loss of prestige for not winning another title? I guess it really depends what motivates Henry...

Not sure why so many are quick to direct the anger at Henry. The guy has been spending in excess of $200mill each year on our entertainment. Other, more wealthy owners have tried to keep spending in check for whatever reason. Remember Carl Pohlad? He was the former owner of the Twins and was one of the wealthiest people on Earth, but he insisted on keeping the Twins' payroll near the bottom of all MLB teams. And no one knows why. While he was the owner, the Twins became the first MLB team ever to draw 3,000,000 fans in a season. It's not like they weren't popular. There is no reason a good GM cannot build a good baseball team for less than $200mill. Other GMs do it every year. The Sox just need a GM who can do that, preferably repeatedly. In fact, I'm not even impressed at all if a GM has to spend $240mill to build a competitive team. I'll take it a step further; it's actually a bad idea to do that, because it all but ensures a period of non-competitive baseball as those expensive contracts start getting older...

THe Rays are nice, but GO TWINS!!!

Point?

According to Sam Kennedy, a reset is “a goal but not a mandate.” That does mean there is a good chance Porcello, along with Moreland, Holt, Pearce, Wright, and Bradley, is probably gone. And Heath Hembree is on the fence...

No guarantee either of them are back...

Point?

Is it all talent recognition? The Dodgers did take Devin Smeltzer and Luke Raley ahead of Tony Gonsolin...
-
My choices in order: 1. Cora 2. Ausmus 3. Hurdle 4. Maddon 5. Scioscia
-
But if he opts out this year, he is walking away from $60mill. If he opts out after next season, it's only $38,4mill...

The 2015 draft also produced Chad de la Guerra, who had a .901 OPS in Pawtucket while playing solid defense....
-
I wouldn't call the 2017 class a whiff just yet. Cole Brannen looks like he may top out in AA, but Houck is already in AAA. And Scherff and Schellenger have potential...
-
The Nationals don't seem like players for Betts to me, since they have a full outfield with Soto, Robles and Eaton if they exercise his $9.5mill option, which they should. Of course, they could exercise his option and include him in a trade for Betts. But their farm system is top heavy and bottom bare. It's hard to see them putting together a deal unless they decide to trade Carter Kieboom, which is VERY unlikely. Or if the Sox are willing to take 19yo Luis Garcia, which, while a good acquisition, does nothing for the 2020 or 2021 club...
-
Trades rarely fall together quickly. The first step is the contract review, which has probably already happened. and the Sox might have some contingency offers on the table. But I would think nothing would happen until after Qualifying Offers are extended and either accepted or rejected. If, say, the Cardinals extend an offer to Marcell Ozuna and he rejects it, they become another team that might be interested...
-
The Nationals reportedly offered a 7 year $210mill extension to Anthony Rendon. The price for Betts just went up a little...
-
No way the Mets give up all that for one year of Betts. A simper deal of just Nimmo, Smith, and Gsellman seems more fair. Or if the Mets substitute Matz for Gsellman. And the Mets are not trading Ronny Mauricio for a rental outfielder...
-
For some reference, the Sox have $159mill covering 7 players. But that could go down to $136mill for 6 players if JD opts out...
-
It might make more sense for them to trade Correa, since they have a few INF prospects or can move Bregman back to SS (and Gurriel to 3B with Yordan Alvarez taking over 1b). Did anyone notice Bregman finished 0.1 fWAR behind Trout and 0.1 bWAR ahead of Trout? The MVP race might be that much tighter...
-
Why would the Sox not give him a QO if he opts out? That does nothing to benefit them. If they extend the QO, it gives them more leverage for bringing him back (presumably at a lesser AAV) since they are the one team that would not be affected by it. If JD opts out, he is getting a Qualifying Offer. Same goes for Chapman...
-
He was ineligible to receive a qualifying offer last time he was a free agent because Detroit traded him midway through the season to Arizona....
