Really the only guy who spurned the Sox in the past couple years was Eflin, and that was because he wanted to go home…
-
What did they offer before?
-
Edward Munch?
-
The Mets won 3 fewer games than the Red Sox. Yamamoto is just as useful to them…
-
Sox rumored target Lourdes Gurriel Jr. is off the board. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/12/diamondbacks-to-sign-lourdes-gurriel-jr.html
-
I think any offer way out of line with the others (in a good way), that’s where he signs. A bunch of relatively equal ones, and it comes down to his preference. Hopefully he really respects his former teammate Yoshida…
-
It’s all part of one drop in his multibillion dollar bucket. At some point, he will probably reign things in and dial spending back to reasonable (for him) levels. But after an “all in” season that had the Mets just above last place? I don’t think so…
-
I’m sticking with the Mets as the most likely destination for Yamamoto. They offloaded a ton of salary at the last trade deadline and their biggest off-season addition to date is Luis Severino. Given the embarrassing debacle of last year, they are most definitely not standing pat. However sometimes a team does come out of nowhere in these things. How many Ohtani/Angels stories were there when he came over?
-
He only dumped aging salary and ancillary pieces. And “scaling back” is a relative term. If he dropped his $40mill AAV pitchers to accommodate a $30mill AAV pitcher, that’s technically “scaling back”…
-
He’s using yen again. It converts to about $5mill USD. Or one years rent for a studio apartment on the upper west side…
-
You keep insisting Stroman is some sort of cancer. But his teammates in Chicago call the diminutive (5’7”) Stroman “HDMH”, which stands for “Height Doesn’t Measure Heart”. Couple that with the complete lack of negative stores about the guy, and I’m struggling with the cancer ones. Worst thing I know about him is there is a definite tattoo addiction there…
-
Certainly Cohen has an upper limit. But he has shown he is more than willing to spend what it take, and it’s a safe bet his upper limit is higher than Henry’s…
-
And worse, due to questionable typing skills, they occasionally end with a comma..,
-
He did wait 2 months into a cancelled season to accept an offer. We can pretend the Dodgers waited that long to make an offer, but we both know that’s simply flat out not true…
-
Google away. I recall thinking this guy wants to go. Certainly his $400mill offer for a contract extension - a number topped only by one player at the time - was not an indication he was going to be easy to work with. His quotes years later that he would have taken the same money the Dodgers gave him from Boston struck me as horseshit…
-
One of the big issues no one wants to acknowledge any more is Mookie was vocal and adamant about testing free agency. If he was serious about that, how was Dombrowski supposed to sign him? Even his reported demands ($400mill plus) are still not getting topped with any frequency today…
-
Are things so bad you need a deferral for seven dollars?
-
It’s not the same as pretending “$300mill for Mookie means $300mill less for Henry”..,
-
You do realize Henry has a company (Fenway Sports Group) that handles this and it really doesn’t impact his wallet at all…
-
A thousand Yen converts to $7.04 USD. Your confidence is showing
-
These richer men didn’t get to be so ridiculously wealthy by being as impulsive as your scenario requires…
-
Deferred salary, I mean. If any player is reluctant, just have the benefits explained to them by Bobby Bonilla…
-
Did anyone ask why the Sox couldn’t afford Mookie when Devers was signed?
-
Salary would not be limited by luxury tax impact…
-
Maybe. But if you see Snell’s or Montgomery’s agent, wouldn’t you advise your client “let’s just wait this out”? That team isn’t so likely to pull an offer that blows a player away. If the last remaining prizes are Yamamoto, Snell and Montgomery, pulling that offer would take two of those options away..
