What are they now? Ears? Thumbs? Snow globes?
-
I think so. The idea of paying Judge through age 44 probably felt different than paying Bogaets and Turner through age 41…
-
Prediction: neither gets traded. Downs to Worcester. Hosmer to free agency…
-
I can excuse the weak-visioned forum poster confusing Reds and Red Sox. Not like he told us where Arson Judge signed…
-
If you move him to SF, then include Doval in the package. But not one for one.
-
So throw in a couple weeks of Brandon Nimmo drawing walks and misplaying flyballs in CF and call it even…
-
That price goes down in July, when Devers becomes ineligible for a QO if he can’t be extended…
-
Camilo Doval!
-
Not surprised about that chatter. Boston hasn’t paid him. San Fran, despite throwing around as much money as anyone, was having a frustrating off-season of being rebuffed even before the whole Correa episode. This would not surprise (or please) me…
-
Absolutely some positive possibilities. Mostly still having Betts. But I do believe that building around Betts and Bogaerts was going to be off the table. That’s my only point here…
-
That $5mill savings should cover several innings from Verlander…
-
I’m pretty sure if they signed Betts, it would have meant no extension for Bogaerts period. And then unloading Price gets very complicated…
-
If the Sox had signed Betts and then likely not extended Bogaerts, then Bogaerts isn’t around for Bloom to trade him with Price. That off-season, Bogaerts would have been a free agent shortstop with a QO..
-
The thing is, had the Sox signed Betts after 2018 like they tried to, they very likely don’t extend Bogaerts and he leaves after that season to free agency. DD didn’t even extend Bogaerts until after talks with Betts broke down. And that payroll was already at record level for the team…
-
And the small market owners pocket more money and still don’t re-invest in their team!
-
Update that for Christian Arroyo…
-
I’ve seen Crook play a few times. He’s AAAA talent…
-
I do think giving up on the season before Christmas is crazy. But they do need to make more moves in the next 7 weeks…
-
Sports talk shows are always 95-100% complaints. Even Mets’ talk shows this morning had people complaining about something. “Now where does Brett Baty play!??!”

Xander Bogaerts has signed with San Diego Padres

Bellinger wasn’t much of a baseball loss, but he was definitely a payroll savings for them.. -
So Crook is a good guy?

Xander Bogaerts has signed with San Diego Padres

Well Downs may be back if he clears waivers. And one day maybe he can be as good as an aging David Price… -

That’s because it’s not just about evaluating prospects in a trade, but also about selecting ones the other guy is willing to give up. It doesn’t help that in most of the trades he has made so far, the Sox didn’t give up much. Certainly Betts is the outlier, but even he came with a very high salary and was handcuffed to David Price. I don’t think getting elite prospects was the primary objective with that deal… -
Clearly Sam Kennedy does not read this forum…
-
But if they don’t make the postseason, then it might get complicated…
