    Fans are much more willing to throw around $400mill than Henry is. I didn’t bring up the $400mill, but if Skubal hits free agency, bidding starts at $333 over 9. Topping that $36mill AAV that Cole has will become a factor for some reason…

    Why would Detroit do that? I’d think they just take the prospects and wish Boston luck. If Boston backs out, call the Mets. Call the Dodgers. Call the Yankees…

    I’d think Skubal’s price was similar to Kyle Tucker - maybe a bit higher since Tucker has 0 Cy Youngs and doesn’t pitch.

    There are many who think $100million over the previous high is not A LITTLE crazy.

    I don’t think Crochet was an unknown. The White Sox liked him enough to make him a first round pick and the Red Sox liked him enough to give up two top 50 prospects. As fans, Crochet didnt have the track record we like, but that’s not the same as being unknown…

    I do think Boras abides by the rules. He gains nothing by telling Boston a number and potentially weakens his position in this case…
  7. notin
    The Sox certainly wouldn’t be able to hold him to anything…
  8. notin
    That’s part of any trade, and not the same as just having an off-the-record conversation with Boras, which was what the post was alluding to. It’s also not done much any more, if at all..,

    Using Campbell to offset Yoshida works on BTV, but any team taking that on is still commited to $86mill for those two players…

    Bregman’s leverage will come from competing offers regardless of where Mayer plays. Especially since Bregman himself has never insisted on it being 3b or bust…
  11. notin
    Anthony’s service time is a moot point, since he signed an extension…
  12. notin
    I think if Boras did that, it might constitute tampering…

    Have him put to sleep and split the beers up 8 ways instead of 9. Math works out better this way anyway…
  14. notin
    No team could ever make the postseason with a bat like that at 1b! Well, except San Diego…
  15. notin
    They’re both weak vs LHP. Also, neither should be platooned…

    Sorry for fostering the discussion. And since you’re countering a specific question, vague answers are unacceptable. Which prospects?
  17. notin
    I hope the Sox can hold on to Early. It won’t be long before he is outpitching Ryan. That can be interpreted two ways…
  18. notin
    He is certainly a good way. What else do you propose?
  19. notin
    Lorde?
  20. notin
    Yes. The Sox new strategy is to score more runs and give up fewer runs. But it’s top secret so don’t tell anyone or post it onli… oops

    Unless it rolls out like last time. Teams were giving out mega deals just before the work stoppage date. I think the deal given to Semien still stands as the largest contract ever for a 2b. And $400mill for Skubal is INSANE. Thats $100mill over the largest contract for a pitcher ever. And how many yr. I don’t think any MLB team, including the Mets, including the Dodgers is not going to meet that demand so readily…
  22. notin
    But then how do the Sox upgrade at SP, whom I presume will not be a volunteer?
  23. notin
    Getting Marte might mean no Alonso, but I’m on board regardless. Marte and trade for Yandy and call the lineup fixed…
  24. notin
    So you’re saying if Boston signs him, he will break his index finger putting his name on the contract…
  25. notin
    Ok. My mistake. Apologies. Myself, not comfortable with 1 year. And talks of $400 mill for an extension do nothing to ease my mind. This would be one case where I would try to come closer to a Tucker price where I gave up one good prospect, one good but replaceable starter, and some Fungibles reliever. Might have to go a bit higher, but it probably doesn’t matter since Detroit already hung up on me. Oh well. Time to check in on Ryan…
