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.

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

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.

By this date five years ago Ben Cherington had signed Hanley Ramirez and Pablo Sandoval.

One website’s ranking of farm systems in terms of trade value: https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/ranking-each-farm-system-by-trade-value/

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"

This proposed three-way trade involving Mookie Betts lacks my endorsement: https://sodomojo.com/2019/11/29/seattle-mariners-crazy-3-team-trade/

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/

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.

MLB Trade Rumors ranked Drew Pomeranz 23rd among this year's free agents with a projected two-year, $16 million contract while ranking Rick Porcello 31st with a projected one-year, $11 million contract: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/11/mlb-free-agent-predictions-2020.html Kyle Gibson, whom MLB Trade Rumors ranked 19th with a projected two-year, $18 million contract, landed a three-year, $30 million contract with the Texas Rangers.

What about Kevin Gausman, whom the Cincinnati Reds may non-tender because of the righthander's projected 2020 arbitration salary of $10.6 million?

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/ :)

The Rangers may want to be competitive in the league's toughest division.

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.

At Baseball Trade Values, notin and moonslav receive feedback on their Red Sox trade proposals: https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trades/?team_filter=604

Padre and White Sox fans might have different opinions. This forum carries its inherent biases.
-
Perhaps Brian Johnson will be claimed by Tampa Bay to be reunited with college battery-mate Mike Zunino (whom the Rays re-signed on Monday).
-
Given luxury tax considerations, three questions marks in the starting rotation and Mookie Betts' reported desire to enter free agency in a year, the Red Sox may not be negotiating from a position of strength.

Overpays on what sides?

According to the website, David Price, Nathan Eovaldi, Jackie Bradley Jr. and Marcus Walden have a combined negative trade value of $81.7 million. Mookie Betts' surplus value of $50 million still leaves a negative value of $31.7 million. https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trade-simulator/ A.J. Pollock, Joc Pederson and Kenley Jansen have a combined negative value of $33.5 million, according to that website. Gavin Lux has a surplus value of $88.5 million, Dustin May $61.4 million, Keibert Ruiz $50.6 million and Alex Verdugo $50.1 million. Be realistic ... perhaps Mookie Betts for five years of 23-year-old outfielder Alex Verdugo would work.

A joke that finished 19 games ahead of the Red Sox, who fired their top executive in-season. Humor is in the funny bone of the beholder (and IMHO neither franchise is a "joke").
