  1. They’ll definitely be moving a few pieces one way or another. And certainly not picking up Kiermeier’s option Choi is an obvious one. Yarborough would also not surprise anyone, either. If they do decide to trade Diaz, hopefully Bloom is there making offers…
  2. No. He’s untradable…
  3. Looking at the full list, the most interesting of the obvious non-tender candidates is Cody Bellinger. No way the Dodgers should even think about any other option with him. But I also wonder if Yandy Diaz at $5.4mill is a non-tender possibility for the Rays, who have a ton of pending cases…
  4. Call him back and say “Notin cleared it.” Then just hang up. You might need to use my personal passcode for authentication purposes. It’s “Draco kumquat weasel.” I didn’t choose it…
  5. Ok. Scale the offers accordingly..
  6. I’m thinking more asking the lines of the extensions the Rays gave Longoria after 6 games and Matt Moore after 2 starts…
  7. I know it seems ridiculously early, but really, THIS was how the Rays did things back in the day (and Atlanta does things today). Give both contracts like 5-6 years for $20mill that wind up working out for the Sox even if the players don’t…
  8. There is a difference between exploiting the rules and breaking the rules…
  9. And free agent comp was different. But all rules are exploitable to some degree…
  10. “Let’s check in on Manny now… He appears to be sleeping…. We’ll have further updates when he wakes up for his morning toast and the key question of today’s topping. Early poll results indicate marmalade over grape jelly, with a boring 15% who just say butter”
  11. It’s been done before. Epstein, when he took over…
  12. That’s 4 extremely intelligent minds right there. Plus me for comic relief. At least that was my role back when all of us had that round table show on ESPN24…
  13. I think he will get 6/$150…
  14. Semien was the active shortstop leader in fWAR over the previous 4 years at the time…
  15. That has nothing to do with the Yankees…
  16. But then if we don’t know what the cost is, how can we say the Sox have mishandled it? Not to mention, he isn’t gone yet. Heck, he hasn’t even opted out yet…
  17. Not to mention how ARod was treated by that organization. I admit I am still an A-Rod fan who, while I did want him to fail as a Yankee - admits it was solely because he was a Yankee. And I think he gets a ton of buildout he never deserved for what he did for that team…
  18. Or winning fewer World Series titles in the past 20 years. Let’s not forget that part of it…
  19. And Semien at $175mill. There is a clear divider between getting Seager/Lindor money and getting Story/Semien money - not being 30…
  20. Or no mention of the Yankees letting Andy Pettitte go to Houston…
  21. I would assume he should move at some point. He’s been openly resistant in the past, however. And he just didn’t like third base when he came up. Granted all of that was a long time ago and he could certainly feel different now…
  22. There was something about his contract and its impact on the luxury tax. He did get lucky getting that one career year out of Ross…
  23. Seriously? It’s on a blog called “Yanks Go Yard,” which is part of Fansided. Just because they labeled “Red Sox News” doesn’t make it objective. In fact, it wasn’t even news; it was commentary. It was just the opinion of a guy who clearly didn’t understand or believe in luxury tax and forgot the Yankees are in the exact same boat with Judge. “Fansided” is just a collection of blogs written by fans. Don’t go confusing it with actual news…
  24. If Old Red likes it, we can assume it’s a Yankee blog trashing the Sox…
