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. ..

I do think this is the year Bogaerts breaks out and tears up MLB pitching. He will, however, very likely continue lackluster defensive play at shortstop. ..

I don't expect the Sox to clear up the logjam until they actually have the logjam. If they sign Martinez, then maybe they start exploring trading Bradley again. I know a lot of fans think this hurts Bradley's trade value, but it really doesn't. If other teams want him, they'll make their best offers they are willing to make. If multiple teams are interested, which is likely, then teams do have to outbid each other. Bradley's value is based on his performance, salary, years of control, and how badly or not other teams want him. Not on the Sox depth chart...

Bradley I is a 3-4 fWAR with 3 arbitration years left and ranked #46 on Fangraphs trade value list, comparable tp Aaron Nola and Robbie Ray. He can get a very good pitcher in return if a match up can be found. ..

Or keep the lineup as is and sign Darvish or Arrieta. ..

So... not going to create the anticipated splash in season ticket sales?
-
Moreland is back. So.... Delusional Dave?
-
Yes. Small sample. But the larger point was that he spent 5 years in AAA before adjusting to the pitching at that level...
-
He won't. We do all know this or should. He took 5 years to hit AAA pitching. Do you really think MLB is suddenly going to become easy for him? And while he did have some success his last time in MLB, it was carried by a very lucky BABIP and his xBABIP had him pegged as closer to a .218 hitter. He won't hit the s*** out of anything. Not on Fenway at least...
-
I keep trying to forget about Brentz. I know a lot of people want him to get a shot. But if Bradley goes down for 3 weeks, and he is the most likely outfielder to go down historically, then the Sox have to re-arrange the outfield to accommodate Brentz. And by the time those 3 weeks are up, I wonder how many fans will still be glad that Brentz finally got a shot....
-
Exactly. Holt, Swihart, Leon and Marrero. No room for Nunuz here..
-
3 or 4 more atarting pitchers. Any team that enters the season without knowing whobtheir 7-10 starters are is fooling themselves...
-
Certainly any team looking at defense would be hesitant. But the market for Martinez may not be as big as Boras likes. I've only heard 4 linked to him, and I usually find that the rumors double the actual number of interested teams. So are there only 2 teams in on Martinez?
-
Maybe. It would be easier if he didn't have legitimate health concerns, could field, and was cheaper. Really he should have been traded back after he was as all star and had value. Now at best he's a throw-in whose inclusion in a trade gets the Sox nothing but salary relief, which, if they wanted, they could have gotten more easily by simply non-tendering him...
-
At the end of the day, how many "super sub" players do you think the Sox are going to commit multiple millions of dollars to? I think offering Holt arbitration may have done more to close the door on Nunez than many Sox fans want to believe. ..
-
Boras will listen to every offer. But JD's stated to desire to not DH might put the Sox lower on his list or it might mean the Sox need to pay more money to sign him. ..
-
I hope the Sox don't return Betts to 2b. It's been too many years since he played the position and I'd hate to see him get injured in a takeout slide...
-
Not sure he'd get that from Boston either. For some reason DD has already committed $2mill-ish to Brock Holt to be some sort of all-purpose Swiss army knife player...

Stanton: I KNEW there was a reason I didn't like Jeter!
notin replied to Carter's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
And there is always a chsnce Stanton opts out. He'll be younger when he opts out than Cabrera was when he signed that deal.... -
Id be shocked, given they are trying to keep payroll low and have long term players that would prevent him from starting. He'll likely sign with the Giants or Angels...
-
There's a good chance he prioritizes starting roles when mulling offers...
-
I could see a couple moves being dependent on Martinez. But DD hasn't signed a single pitcher to a minor league deal or tried to upgrade over Brentz and Hernandez. He hasn't done a thing yet beyond DEFacing Owens and d ignoring Quiroz. And I wondered if Owens was DFAd to clear a spot in the Rule 5 draft. But nope. He passed on that too...
-
As bad a job as Ben did saddling Boston with the contracts of Ramirez and Sandoval, at least he did ms mage to unload Gonzalez and Crawford, otherwise both of them would still br being paid by Boston....
