You can make that offer (well, not you) but I’d be surprised if he goes for it. Years are important to a player, too…
-
Is Cortes really “ace level”? He’s 28 years old and he’s topped 93 IP in a season once. Calling him an ace already is like calling Schreiber a reliever comparable to Eckersley…
-
I’m not holding my breath…
-
The source right now is every article on the subject. The media feels it’s a no-brainer. Not sure if any of them have spoken with Paxton or they all just making assumptions…
-
Money and opportunity. The man only has so many games left, and probably prefers he not spend too many of them on the bench. As for which is more important, only Paxton himself really knows. (Although the MLBPA does have an opinion on which one is more important.)
-
So you think he’d prefer a team that already has 5 pitchers in the rotation? I would be willing to bet Paxton has prioritized pitching and getting the ball every fifth day over having a shot at a title. Boston might not be where he ends up, but they certainly are in a position to give him more opportunities n than most other teams…
-
I think if they do he can finally get that strikeout number above those nasty total bases…
-
I didn’t expect you to know whether or not it was the case. The bottom line is it’s another consideration a lot of us never really thought of (or at least vocalized on this forum). We’re all probably right less often than we realize. So being aware of other alternatives becomes a necessity…
-
I think they will keep going over until they think the farm is ready. They shouldn’t hold off building a good team while waiting on the farm. Don’t let the farm influence being competitive. That makes no sense. But it’s probably ok to let it influence payroll…
-
That means in the last 3 postseason, Judge has the same number of strikeouts as total bases…
-
We can still have fun with it. In the last 3 postseasons, Aaron Judge is 10 for 70 (.143) with 5 HRs, 5 singles, 6 walks and 25 strikeouts…
-
I know. But maybe mvp was right (I didn’t type that) and they prioritized ratings and keeping a semi-watchable team…
-
I think there was some payroll leeway until the farm was in place. The Sox did go over, but half of the payroll was heavily paid aging contracts Bloom inherited…
-
Don’t you think that’s why Bloom was hired? Build a competitive team, get in the postseason, and do so without going over the limit? Tampa has a dirt poor payroll but has made the postseason 4 years in a row…
-
Daisuke Matsuzaka has more hits and RBIs in the World Series than every player like Judge that’s never played in one…
-
Easiest way to beat it is to simply not go over ever. It does make it more difficult to win the title, but with the extra wild card, it’sa little easier to get into the postseason than it was in years past…
-
Follow him on Twitter?
-
Somebody give jad a nudge!! (Are “broken record” jokes completely outdated?)
-
And he actually turned out to be a good player to grab in late rounds of fantasy drafts…
-
It is. I’m hoping if it’s all about continued resets, they at least occur after bad seasons…
-
General consensus is the opposite. Sox decline. Paxton exercises…
-
One can. I mean, without lying…
-
But then they just look like everyone else. Does he need to type out a pod person shriek?
-
I’m proud to be on any list with bosoxmal…
-
He was one of us at that other site. You’ve been fooled!!
