  1. From today's MLB Trade Rumors chat with columnist Steve Adams: https://www.jotcast.com/chat/chat-with-mlbtrs-steve-adams-11-19-19-6446.html
  2. Nick Madrigal is penciled in as the second baseman on my defending champion fantasy team. MLB offseason potential scenarios WWW.MLB.COM Will one free-agent signing trigger a half-dozen more? This loaded-at-the-top market may lend itself to that. For instance, if Stephen Strasburg re-signs with the Nationals, do the Phillies, Yankees and Angels suddenly ramp up their efforts to sign Gerrit Cole or Zack Wheeler? Or let’s say the Rangers sign Anthony
  3. The Red Sox aren't exactly negotiating from a position of strength this offseason. The Sox may be pounding sand. Or not.
  4. The website should explain its updates since the end of the season.
  5. Christian Vazquez would even it out.
  6. The trade simulator suggests that is a slight overpay for the Red Sox: https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trade-simulator/ ... although the website may not take into consideration the luxury tax benefits for the Red Sox.
  7. According to one website, that trade gives the Red Sox a surplus value of $16.2 million and the Astros a net negative value of $6.5 million: https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trade-simulator/ As the simulator reads: Not accepted.
  8. Would anyone trade Chris Sale for one-time Gold Glove second baseman Dee Gordon, saving the Red Sox $19 million for luxury tax purposes next year and nearly $30 million annually thereafter? One website lists Sale with a negative net value of $11 million and Gordon with a negative net value of $11.4 million: https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trade-simulator/ Sale and his injury concerns might be too risky for the Mariners despite their reported payroll flexibility.
  9. Those are reasons why other teams would not want David Price and his contract. Would you package Price, Mookie Betts and $10 million in a trade to another club for a player with no surplus value? That's what one website suggests it would take: https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trade-simulator/
  10. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/the-red-sox-shouldnt-trade-mookie-betts/
  11. As Boston Globe columnist Alex Speier wrote on Friday: https://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/redsox/2019/11/15/takeaway-from-meetings-red-sox-are-open-anything/l6guLESkDmy5ZA0vIENt3K/story.html?outputType=amp&__twitter_impression=true
  12. Despite posting only 0.8 fWAR, valued at $7.9 million, this year, Robinson Cano has posted 21.4 fWAR, valued at $169.8 million, six years into his 10-year, $240 million contract. The Cano contract appears better than the contract for David Price, who has posted 10.6 fWAR valued at $85 million in the first four years of his seven-year, $217 million contract.
  13. Should Mookie Betts be penalized contractually for the .210/.300/.323/.623 line he posted over 14 games in the same postseason?
  14. Joe Mauer posted fWAR valued at $96.7 million in the first four years of his eight-year, $178 million contract while David Price has posted fWAR valued at $85 million in the first four years of his seven-year, $217 million contract. One player came closer than the other to meeting his contract in the first four years.
  15. Or Jay Buhner:
  16. According to one website, the Red Sox package of Mookie Betts ($50 million) and Jay Groome ($4.3 million) would have a surplus value of $54.3 million: https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trade-simulator/ The proposed Yankee package of Miguel Andujar ($27.2 million), Clint Frazier ($19 million), Luis Gil ($8.7 million) and Mike King ($2.4 million) would have a surplus value of $57.3 million. The Red Sox would spread their risk over four players with a combined 20 years of team control while the Yankees would spread their risk over two players with a combined seven years of team control.
  17. According to one website, Atlanta outfield prospect Drew Waters alone has more surplus value ($56.8 million) than Mookie Betts ($50 million): https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trade-simulator/
  18. One year of Mookie Betts is unlikely to land six years of nearly 23-year-old White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez. According to one website, Betts has a surplus value of $50 million, Jimenez a surplus value of $90.1 million, Michael Kopech a surplus value of $30.7 million, Joc Pederson a surplus value of $12.7 million, catcher Will Smith a surplus value of $43.3 million and Keibert Ruiz a surplus value of $50.6 million: https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trade-simulator/
  19. Speaking of movies, last night on a cross-country flight my wife, who is not a baseball fan, had me watch "Fever Pitch" with her. Still worth a thumbs up.
  20. The Red Sox reportedly top the luxury tax payers: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/11/three-teams-exceeded-2019-luxury-tax-threshold.html
  21. If not mistaken, Seattle was Tampa Bay’s most frequent trade partner.
  22. After smashing 35 home runs this year (and 101 over three years), 31-year-old Mike Moustakas has posted 7.2 fWAR, valued at $57.9 million, over the past three seasons, trending upward from 2.0 fWAR to 2.4 fWAR to 2.8 fWAR.
  23. MLB Trade Rumors projects Mike Moustakas to get a two-year, $20 million contact with the Atlanta Braves: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/11/mlb-free-agent-predictions-2020.html
  24. MLB Trade Rumors projects the Red Sox to sign only one of its Top 50 free agents: reliever Pedro Strop at No. 49: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/11/mlb-free-agent-predictions-2020.html
  25. One website estimates Mookie Betts' worth at $76.3 million for the one remaining season: https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trade-simulator/ ... for a surplus value of $51.4 million.
