  1. In the taters?!?!
  2. Maybe he tried, but Friedman liked his nice, cushy LA gig…
  3. Nope. Original Gangsta.
  4. I don’t care if he has a possum’s tail and a cow’s four stomachs…
  5. He’s a Friedman protege.
  6. First of all, all of free agency is to appease the fans and send a message that money will not be an obstacle. Do people really think teams are built by overpaying stars in their 30s for what they did in their 20s? But also, even if that’s the only reason, it’s already outside the Tampa model…
  7. We all get Bogaerts was unhappy with the deal, but it’s nothing a 6 year $150 mill contract offer won’t solve. Devers might be more inconsolable and require $270mill over 9…
  8. That’s fine but the Tampa North rhetoric left when the Sox signed Story. Andrew Friedman ran the Rays with a low payroll, too, but no one thinks of the Dodgers as Tampa West…
  9. I have to be careful out here. Those goal posts are moving at dangerous speeds…
  10. What makes anyone think he has any ability to play 2b? He was moved to the OF presumably for a reason. And what exactly is a “natural position”? Where he played in high school and college?
  11. It’s still $182mill. While it is spread out over 11 years, it certainly is an example of the Rays locking up a star player…
  12. Regardless of the team, the model they’ve devised is actually very accurate. The overwhelming bulk of real life trades do work in their model. Sure, guessing an exact trade isn’t likely. But a trade accepted on their site at least appears to be fair for both sides…
  13. Oakland is not trading Langeliers. Murphy is another story…
  14. Actually I plugged in Soto and Bell for the exact same package San Diego sent to Washington minus the least valuable Susana and it was accepted. I did not include Hosmer, but the cash included offset his value on that site. If you like I can provide a link…
  15. Stanton blocked trades to the Cardinals and Giants before relenting to be dealt to the Yankees…
  16. I think the gap between what we know and they know is massive. For all we know, maybe the Sox FO knows something about Bogaerts that strongly indicates why he would be a horrible extension…
  17. Hosmer isn’t much of a hitter. The internal solution might be Hosmer at 1b and Casas/Dalbec at DH. At least until they DFA or trade Hosmer..
  18. But there is a big difference between committing $20mil or so on 4 guys for one year and committing $140mill to one guy for 6. Even if one year deals don’t work out, they’re very easy to move on from…o
  19. I’m not a big Story fan, but it’s far too early to make a call on him either way…
  20. I was on a very short list that liked the JBJ trade. And if the Sox want him back, he is available…
  21. Outside of Story, a bunch of one year deals. And one two year…
  22. And maybe they did. All I’m saying is no way he found out at a press conference. And per MLBTR, there are a few players who did learn they were dealt via that page. None of the stories involved the Red Sox. Most of them weren’t stars, or even starters…
  23. So Wander Franco didn’t sign that mega-contract?
  24. I hope he’s seen enough. At this point, move Duran to LF and try Franchy in CF. While he certainly could be worse, it’s actually looking unlikely…
