He didn’t have to trade Betts to stay under the CBT. But that still doesn’t change that Betts had one year left and refused to sign an extension. And some reports have those extensions up to a $30mill AAV…
-
I have thought of a scenario where the rumor makes sense. What if the team willing to take Sale was the Nationals and the trade was for Strasburg and his whole contract? Or to the Tigers for Miguel Cabrera and his whole contract? Or for Bumgarner or Giancarlo Stanton? I suppose those scenarios are believable…
-
Trading for Sale to take a chance on him isn’t the same as trading for Sale and taking his full contract. Not to mention the source being cited so far for this rumor is well beyond questionable…
-
Future Hall of Famers get traded away often, usually for financial reasons. Exactly why would a team be dealing FOR Sale and his full contract?
-
Does everyone think trades are solely for getting rid players?
-
Zero chance it’s true. Why would any GM want Sale at full price? Most pitchers making half as much don’t get traded to a team that takes on the full contract. I mean, the only reason to trade for a Sale at all last year would have been to add him while Boston paid the bill. And to offer to take the full contract AFTER an injury? No f***ing way. There’s just no GM other that stupid…
-
It does seem as though a lot of people are committed to the notion that Yoshida’s True Destiny is to be a MLB DH. Do the Sox think that’s the plan?
-
Wrong!! They’re all Cal Ripken clones until their managers wussify them!!
-
No. We’d call him Scraps…
-
I’m ok with that…
-
We had one call to extend him and then trade him…
-
We haven’t had anyone like that since Epstein. Cherington just flat out refused to trade prospects. Dombrowski filled the roster with too many large contracts. Bloom refused to deal prospects and refused to address obvious flaws…
-
Not understanding the Verdugo Hate…
-
JoeBreidey. And that does give out credibility…
-
Our GMs leave for other organizations. DD did have Mike Hazen in that role, but he never replaced Hazen once the latter went to Arizona..,
-
Did my name come up? What did Sam say about me?
-
If the new boss has a guy he likes better…
-
Hopefully not. It doesn’t need to be one extreme or the other…
-
Let Duran turn into another team’s pumpkin. If the Sox outfielders are so unreliable, why would anyone want to hoard them?
-
Not sure. Who is a good comp for a 26yo 2.5-3fWAR right fielder?
-
Options are irrelevant when dealing with 40 man roster spots
-
Verdugo should be extended and Duran should be traded, more so because of the OF surplus and because his control is more valuable than Verdugo’s skills…
-
If you think Duran is not good enough defensively for left field, it is entirely possible your expectations are not realistic…
-
Really just the 40 man roster spot. But Refsnyder is not the top name that needs to go where all the Sox get back is a 40 man roster spot…
-
I don’t mind leaving him in Worcester. Getting just one viable player for two months of Vazquez is more than worthwhile…
