  5. To be precise, the acquiring team pays the other team $100,000: Top prospects in the 2019 Rule 5 Draft WWW.MLB.COM On Wednesday, teams had to decide which of their prospects merited placement on 40-man rosters. Unprotected prospects are subject to the Rule 5 Draft at the Winter Meetings if they signed by age 18 and have completed five pro seasons, or if they signed at age 19 or older and
  6. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/12/red-sox-sign-marco-hernandez.html
  7. According to Baseball Trade Values, the Dodgers would be giving up $147.9 million in surplus value and getting only $52.7 million in return: https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trade-simulator/ Hard to justify the $92.5 million disparity.
  8. Today's column from Boston Globe writer Peter Abraham suggests that Bobby Dalbec will be given an opportunity at first base: https://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/redsox/2019/12/01/soxfirstbase/xHJyGp0qqAUdtip9dgX76L/story.html?et_rid=1739401789&s_campaign=108stitches:newsletter
  9. Marco Hernandez was not waived; he was non-tendered, making him a free agent immediately without going through the waiver process. http://m.mlb.com/glossary/transactions/non-tendered The Red Sox -- or any team -- could sign Hernandez to a minor-league (or MLB) contract.
  10. By this date five years ago Ben Cherington had signed Hanley Ramirez and Pablo Sandoval.
  11. And some posters call me The Cooler.
  12. Chris Sale reportedly given the green light to resume throwing: https://weei.radio.com/blogs/rob-bradford/chris-sale-gets-green-light-after-visit-to-dr-james-andrews
  13. One website’s ranking of farm systems in terms of trade value: https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/ranking-each-farm-system-by-trade-value/
  14. Baseball Trade Values shows the Red Sox as the clear winners of the proposed trade, giving away a combined $55.3 million in surplus value in return for $64.3 million in surplus value: https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trade-simulator/ The site's conclusion: "Not accepted. Oops! At least one team in this trade is not giving up as much value as they should be. Try balancing it out with either more players or cash"
  15. This proposed three-way trade involving Mookie Betts lacks my endorsement: https://sodomojo.com/2019/11/29/seattle-mariners-crazy-3-team-trade/
  16. Other MLB markets have summer competition. The Major League Soccer champion Seattle Sounders outdraw the Seattle Mariners, who play across the street. The Mariners also contend with two other thriving MLS franchises in their MLB market: the Portland Timbers and the Vancouver Whitecaps. The New England Revolution provides relatively little competition for summer fans: https://soccerstadiumdigest.com/2019-mls-attendance/
  17. With a negative trade value of $29.5 million, Nathan Eovaldi is too big a gamble for the Seattle Mariners despite the trade's favorable assessment at Baseball Trade Values: https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trades/trade-16831/ With his injury history, Eovaldi's downside outweighs his modest upside. As a side note, Steamer projects Dee Gordon and Michael Chavis each with 2020 WAR of 0.9 in 130 games: https://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=8203&position=2B https://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=17321&position=1B/2B Additionally, Gordon and Chavis each have an 80-day suspension on their record for a banned substance.

  19. What about Kevin Gausman, whom the Cincinnati Reds may non-tender because of the righthander's projected 2020 arbitration salary of $10.6 million?
  20. Had to post the proposed trade of Chris Sale for one-time Gold Glove second baseman Dee Gordon: https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trades/trade-16813/ :)
  21. The Rangers may want to be competitive in the league's toughest division.
  22. https://www.nbcsports.com/boston/red-sox/dodgers-have-prospects-trade-red-sox-mookie-betts-and-here-are-names-you-need-know?int This is not an endorsement of John Tomase's opinion.
  23. At Baseball Trade Values, notin and moonslav receive feedback on their Red Sox trade proposals: https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trades/?team_filter=604
