17Ks is fine if you also have 16 BBs

No. Betts had already set his price at $420mill. https://www.audacy.com/weei/articles/column/dont-blame-chaim-bloom-for-this-mookie-betts-debacle
-
No. Betts refused $300mill over 10 years. When DD realized he was not going to sign Betts, he used that money to extend Bogaerts and Sale. Bloom never negotiated with Betts. By the time Bloom was hired, the payroll was spray close to its max…
-
He also got saves the first two days in August and then got hurt. He had no saves in July, but the Sox only had 4 saves that month…
-
If he was healthy, he’d still be in the role.,.
-
It’s pretty funny that you’re already calling Story a bad signing but you were defending the Sale contract earlier this season…
-
Any closer you can get cout Wikkelman will take a back seat to Houck anyway…
-
Coleman is nothing special. I think you’re working too hard to get the slightly better version of Darwinzon here. Now if you are talking about Staumont…
-
Fair, but also worth noting that many of them were rather fungible. And still the entire farm only produced 7 players. That’s not a lot…
-
We had a couple top 100 guys who wound up doing nothing, or less. Cecchini, for example, was ranked 1 place ahead (or behind?) of Betts in the only appearance for both on BAs list…
-
And how many from this list would you have said the same thing about in 2012? https://www.minorleagueball.com/2011/12/13/2633672/boston-red-sox-top-20-prospects-for-2012
-
If you have 5 untouchables, forget about getting anyone who is good and controllable. At this point, you’re looking for salary dumps…
-
Are you saying he shouldn’t be available in the right deal? Maybe Romero will be the better long term solution at shortstop anyway…
-
Why not Ceddane Rafaela? He has a lot going on that other trans will like, and his defensive versatility and skills do give him a very high floor. I keep seeing him forecast as a “utility player”, but he’s a top 100 talent that will interest any team. And he’s close to MLB and requires a 40 man roster spot in 3 months. I like the prospect, but you will never acquire any decent pitching via trade if you refuse to make any of your good prospects available. Even taking out the top 5 is probably too many. How many players with careers longer than 3 years do you think there really are in the Sox system (or any system) right now?
-
At some point on there, I believe he also traded Josh Reddick for Andy Bailey. The move had very little impact, as Bailey got hurt a lot, but it was part of his very active off-season…
-
“Winning the off-season” is how you facetiously describe a team that spent ton of cash on big name free agents and/or made high profile trades and still only got marginally better. “Well at least they won the off-season.” Are the Globe pundits suggesting sarcasm as an off-season plan now?
-
“Win the off-season”? What does that even mean?
-
Still like the idea of trying to pry Blake Snell from San Diego and taking the contract off Ha-Seoung Kim, who did post 3.2 fWAR last year. No idea if San Diego is interested, but they do have two $300mill contracts right now and the acquisition of Juan Soto figures to add another mega contract that dwarves the deals for Machado and Tatis…
-
Is there any indication Miami is willing to dilute the return by attacking players they signed less than 12 months ago? It is possible they recognize they have a rare surplus of starting pitching and want to convert it to talent in other areas…
-
Agreed. I think Betts only having one year left at a cost of $25mill was a bigger factor…
-
Why do they need to say goodbye to Devers to sign Correa?

Not really sure moving up or down makes much difference at all anyway. This isn’t the NBA… -

Whoever it is needs to be traded ASAP… -
Last Boston start?
-
You still need one. Tyler Naquin isn’t getting anywhere close to $10mill…
