Many have probably forgotten bout the 5 year $25mill extension given to this former Sox player https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/l/lansimi01.shtml And that was back in the late 1990's, when that was not exactly utility infielder money...
-
At some point, I do agree that the best ability is availability. Yoshida is here and can, like many members of the team this season already have, surprise us...
-
I'm fine with that. Unless said person is an actual Uber driver just looking to drum up clientele...

But most important, unlike other sports, talking baseball trades is fun. Sure, occasionally, you have to determine the money factor. But as mentioned before, the NBA salary cap is needlessly overcomplicated. And the NFL almost never does player-for-player trades and instead one side almost always receives the wildly unexciting draft pick compensation. Ya-f***ing-hoo. And the NHL? Is that still a league? f*** NHL trades. The NHL is like that bratty little child always fighting for attention by acting out in school. just so his parents might give him food and maybe health care. With him, it's all "Feed me. Give me my insulin! Treat my leprosy!" Shut up, Ronny! Know your place! Baseball trades? Team A needs relief pitching. Team B needs outfield help. Can these teams help each other? How do we equal out the money? And then all that is left is calling the respective GMs and informing them that we did all the legwork...

Spell check is for simians. Also, you assume too much. I mean, how do you know whether or not English is even my first language? I bet my English is better than your Galician...

We all appreciate you finally found the green text...
-
Not true at all. They also watch highlights...
-
The Sox also traded Curt Schilling once upon a time...
-
I tell my Cub fan daughter he is their biggest issue. She's on the fence, but is aware of the bullpen problem...
-
And it turns out, Counsell might not even be a very good manager…
-
Can we work out some sort of “lease with an option to buy” arrangement?
-
Might not?
-
Goldschmidt and his .662 OPS is more appealing? Granted, he doesn’t seem crazy like Alonso does sometimes…
-
Or Connor Joe…

I will say this however. Talking trades on baseball is, has been and always will be more realistic and much easier to understand than trades in other sports. Especially the NBA. That salary cap is more confusing than a lecture on advanced quantum nuclear physics taught only in Chinese to English-speaking kindergarten students…

Whoa!!! No one said we could get a 17yh ranked!! Sell!! Sell!! SELL!!!
-
Maybe he’s one of those boys down at Clancy’s that dgalehouse is always going on about…
-
The biggest issue with an Alonso trade is the Mets’ playoff position isn’t much worse than Boston’s. They simply might not sell. The second biggest issue is the number of potential suitors, which could include the Mariners, Yankees, and semi-revitalized Astros squad looking to upgrade over Jon Singleton and the Ghost of Jose Abreu…
-
This could realistically be a sell high moment for Hamilton. But I don’t think he has added that much value to his trade stock. But honestly, it does seem like there is this belief that a team should NEVER let any player leave their organization while getting nothing in return…
-
They think MLB GMs only value players based on their Yahoo Fantasy Rankings with the setting on “last 7 days total”?
-
The Will Smith vs Connor Wong dilemma…
-
He thinks he is the voice of the vast majority of Red Sox Nation because he talks baseball to like two or three other people, one of whom might be his own reflection in the bathroom mirror…
-
Grissom has an option already exercised for this season, plus one more remaining. So he can in theory play Worcester Ball until neeeded. To accommodate DeJong, you can demote Valdez, assuming no one is injured. If Hamilton will be at 2b, do you need Valdez as much?
-
Most of the folks against trading Duran were rejecting proposals with logic like “Duran isn’t good enough to get a starting pitcher.” Now that that is clearly untrue, I guess it’s time to pretend he was always simply too valuable and was always a good centerfieler…

And less than two years removed from Sean McDounough’s infamous “he’s not a major leaguer.”…
