And no one else's does. All those other teams are so medically adept and lucky to be immune to injury...

Good thing you don't care who the GM, considering the team doesn't have one..

Actually I'm thinking Matt Garza might be an option. He's very tight with Price and sometimes things like that do become a factor, especially for pitchers like Garza who have never won anything and are watching their careers wind down.

Elias has some potential with that deadly curve ball of his. Haley is about as replacement level as it gets...

Or non-existant. I hope he plans to shore up 2B. REally I have very little confidence in Hernandez, and his only actual move was the completely untried wild card Esteban Quiroz. We might need someone to play 2B all year if things don't work out with Pedroia, and at least half a season even if they do. Not really sure why this is being ignored so. My only real hope here is that DD is not being open and honest, which I don't expect from him anyway, and he does have another plan for 2B, be it Nunez or Kendrick or ??? On the other hand, he really needs to make a move at some point. All of this waiting for Boras to blink on JD Martinez should in no way impact a lot of other needs. Like signing some pitchers to minor league deals for depth purposes, getting a 2B stopgap/starter, maybe signing one of the remaining Braves' refugees.

Absolutely true, The rationale isn't always good, but it is always there. Sometimes it is obvious, but sometimes it is a lot less clear to us as fans, despite what we think we know.

The Red Sox absolutely need a pitcher, but free agency is such a bad way to get one unless you have identified a clear undervalued candidate. Hitters are more likely to be worth it for long term deals, and even that is no guarantee. The best option might be to sign Martinez and deal Bradley for a pitcher...

The Giants' acquisition of Longoria has actually increased the likelihood of nunez returning to Boston (assuming DD has any interest)...

So basically.. probation...

Really it all depends on what Price wants. If he only wants money, he probably stays unless his agent thinks he cna get him more. If he wants to play for another team regardless, he is gone. Not everyone makes all the decisions on money. If that was the case, Tanaka would be a free agent right now...

If it gets to the point where his elbow is scaring GMs and failing team physicals, he has already opted out...

A player who goes off just before free agency. ..

So they signed him just long enough to convince Manny Machado to join him in Cleveland. ..

I am no Mitch Moreland fan, but in the raw power department he might be the most underrated hitter in MLB. When he connects, he hits shots that travel further than almost anyone in MLB. The problem is getting him to connect regularly. Its like he lacks the ability to hit a ball between 330 and 380 feet.

A 200 inning season with his typical performance might...

Yonder Alonso = Option Year Hero, Exhibit A.

I can agree with that. German had a three year surge that was far, far better than the other 10 years in his career. But he still wasn't better than Varitek...

I get the disappointment in Hanley, but the solution isn't to oversell the extremely bland Sam Travis. I think his middle name is "Meh"...
-
Cherington certainly deserves the blame for Hanley, Sandoval and Castillo. I hate seeing the repeated Lucchino cop outs. Either Cherington made the moves or didn't have the faith from his superiors to handle the job. But he also got rid of some equally bad deals, built a solid farm, and really his fault in the 2014 last place is somewhat suspect. He basically brought back a World Series champion roster, and that team didn't perform to the same level. If status quo is a bad thing, people must hate Dombrowski so far this off-season. ...

The roles were reversed last December. But teams have a tendency to look better when no one is injured...

I do plan on continued needling of his man-crush on Aaron Judge, possibly to the point of immaturity. Is that acceptable?

John Schuerholz made a good run at it...

Price's decision will also be based on input from his agent as to whether or not he thinks he can get David a better deal, which might mean more years in place of more money...
-
I wonder if Dombrowski and Cora are as concerned with Hanley's option as people on this board. Especially if Hanley can return to being even a fraction of the hitter he was that first month in Boston before injuring his shoulder. If he doesn't hit and that option still vests, there are a few actions they can take. ..
