If you give them two nobody A-ballers, the Marlins will knock off $50mill.* *Offer valid to New York Yankees only
-
Guzman is a gamble. And in prospect deals the past couple years, most GMs have been averse to gambles. MLB-ready is a big deal, even for the high profile prospects. There is a REALLY GOOD chance Guzman never makes MLB. Pitchers are toohard to predict. To take a package this light and pay $50mill? I bet no othet team could have gotten Stanton so cheaply...
-
Tanking to help the Yankees. Just last week, all the talk was the Marlins had some "outrageous asking price" and expected teams to take Stanton's entire contract. And they got back two unknown unranked teenagers who probably never see MLB and a big contract AND kicked in thirty mill? He got nothing back for Stanton. Nothing. Marlins fans will miss Loria.

There is a difference between losing 6-5 and winning 8-6..

Technically we could be adding a healthier Price. Going all in for Darvish or Arrieta might help short term. But at some point the Sox would have way too much tied up in Price and whoever, and Stanton will still be young enough to do damage. DD did miss out on Chatwood, who might have been the sneakers pitching arm available. ...

Matt Adams sucks. The Braves didn't release him because he's bursting with talent...
-
It may not be his fault, but his plan was to win in the next couple years and after that, hope and pray? DD will definitely have to be creative now. Or he can do what he usually does and sign a few long term megadeals that may or may not help the immediate future but will cripple the team long term. Welcome to Boston, JD and Carlos...
-
Another available name no one mentions is Andrew McCutchen...
-
Houston is the scarier option. Imagine Stanton playing full time in that little ballpark where he already broke one scoreboard. Think Houston lets him go to NY too easily?
-
Reportedly they want to get unde the Luxury Tax. No way they can do that and trade for Stanton. I'm not sue they can even if they can unload a few of their heavier contracts, most of which are not attached to productive players...
-
If Stanton keeps blocing trades, they will just cut payroll elsewhere. They'll deal Yelich and Ozuna and Straily and hope to find takers for Ziegler and Prado...
-
He'd be an excellent Cuban headliner in that town with pictures on every billboard and on the backs of every program. But Mattingly and he did NOT see eye to eye in LA and certainly won't in Miami...
-
Nope. Yelich and Ozuna...
-
And then Harper in 2018...
-
Do we get to count Celtics' series? We'll let you count the Knicks. And the Nets...
-
I thought about that too. But no way in HELL does Miami want to be the sight of a Puig-Mattingly reunion
-
Probably not. Also I believe they were not on his short list. Although thst was probably an oversight and he'd probably ok the deal...
-
Big week for the Angels. First Maitan. Then Ohtani. Can Stanton be next?
-
You know, he did know Devers existed. In fact, Devers was the one elite prospect he didn't trade. The Sox had plenty of depth at third. How many guys were the Sox supposed to have there?
-
I never really hated Price and certainly not Lackey before Boston. My hatred for Lackey came about after his first two seasons with the Sox...
-
Russell Branyan seems like a stretch. Adam Dunn is more likely than many Yankee fans like to admit...
-
I'm certainly not pro-Moreland, just like I wasn't last year. But I would at least hope to get a LHH option to platoon with Travis. While the Sox could use Swihart that way, to me that means they'll probably be looking for a 1b in July
-
You're absolutely correct that if Ohtani wants to play in a city where he won't experience complete culture shock, he would certainly have Seattle tops on his list with Frisco right behind. LA is far less Japanese than those two, so probably less likely if that's what he wants. The problem is, no one knows what he wants. But if I was going to bet on anywhere, I'd pick Seattle. But I'd prefer he went to San Diego. And part of me thinks that city has a good chance because he kept them on his list for some reason...
-
Dude, your words were funny to me. Lighten up And bear in mind the reason this place sucks right now is that the Sox season ended like 7 weeks ago and so far the most exciting off-season move was when they DFAd Henry Owens. ..
-
Ummmm...yes? First of all, can you not see how your distaste for INTERNATIONAL signings - particularly those from a specific race - could be viewed as racial? And second, you might be better off not using actual racial slurs to make your point. While I know what the expression means and even know the innocent origins, I also know why it is rarely used any more and find your choice to use it here as, well, ironic, to say the least. I don't think you meant the slur, but it was an odd choice in context...
