    Perhaps not as badly as the Red Sox want to get under the luxury tax threshold (and out from under some of the $96 million owed David Price).

    The perception may be as important as the truth. Or not.
  4. harmony
    In the unlikely event that is true, potential trade partners may be reluctant to deal with the Red Sox in the future.

    Brusdar Graterol may be a sad casualty:

    +2 Good points.

    Does that mean pull the deal and incur the penalties with the salaries of David Price and Mookie Betts on the payroll? What if other offers are not as good? The reported tentative deal was likely the product of negotiations that started in November.

    I may be a horrible dresser but I've never owned pocket protector. I generally work with words, not numbers.

    In statistical terms, positive regression distinguishes regression from the generic nonstatistical regression.

    Talking heads focus on the big names that attract viewers.

    The Dodgers were already getting the short end* by trading five years of Alex Verdugo plus four years of Kenta Maeda on a team-friendly contract. * according to Baseball Trade Values: https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/teams/516/

    +1 Chaim Bloom worked all offseason to come up with a solution and in the end took the best offer.

    Tony Gonsolin is healthy and has defied the rankings. Nearly four years ago I went out to the University of Portland to see Saint Mary's of California ace Corbin Burnes, who pitched a gem: https://portlandpilots.com/sports/baseball/stats/2016/saint-marys-game-1-/boxscore/8024 I don't even remember Gael outfielder Anthony Gonsolin going 3-for-4 with a homer and three RBI.

    With their deep farm system the Dodgers are better positioned to take a high-risk, high-reward prospect such as Brusdar Graterol while the Red Sox, with their thin farm system, might prefer a surer bet. Or not.

    The Red Sox could ask for Dustin May while the Dodgers, who are negotiating from a position of strength, could ask for Triston Casas and Bobby Dalbec. https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/players/8834/ https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/players/7832/ https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/players/7960/ Probably not happening.

    The Padres are unlikely to assume the $57 million owed Mookie Betts and David Price this year (even with shedding Wil Myers' $22.5 million salary).
  17. harmony
    Impressive proposal.
  18. harmony
    The Dodgers, who have won seven straight division titles with two recent trips to the World Series, would probably just walk away from the deal instead of upping the ante.

    With incentives, last season Kenta Maeda earned $8.525 million in 153.2 innings over 37 appearances, including 26 starts: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12Fdcz-v1dHv7WUA6N73JhLNL7cZ-JCaUSRyh8LQvG7A/edit#gid=1570933962 https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/maedake01.shtml That's about $8 million more than Brudsar Graterol's 2020 salary
  20. harmony
    That's a possibility although the Red Sox would have less payroll flexibility if Kenta Maeda meets his salary incentives.
  21. harmony
    The Red Sox face a tall task trying to improve on an 84-win club that received career years from Xander Bogaerts, Rafael Devers, Christian Vazquez, Eduardo Rodriguez and Brandon Workman. The Sox may expect positive regression from some of Chris Sale, Nathan Eovaldi, Andrew Benintendi and Jackie Bradley Jr. but 2020 may be the perfect year to step back with an eye on 2021 and beyond.
  22. harmony
    The Dodgers need not offer anything more if Alex Verdugo and Kenta Maeda have passed their physicals. Brusdar Graterol should not be the Dodgers' problem.
  23. harmony
    The Twins are unlikely to trade two Top 100 prospects for Kenta Maeda.

    The Dodgers reportedly negotiated the proposed trade to keep under the luxury tax threshold. Assuming the entire David Price contract would likely be a deal-breaker for the Dodgers.
