The Yankees (.345) have a higher on-base percentage than the Red Sox (.344): https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=0&type=8&season=2019&month=0&season1=2019&ind=0&team=0,ts&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&startdate=2019-01-01&enddate=2019-12-31&sort=13,d So there's that dimension.

That's another reason why the Red Sox might not extend a qualifying offer to David Price if the lefthander were a pending free agent (of course he's not). But that might impact Price's trade value to another club ... or not.

Presumably the State University of New York at Geneseo (not Geneseo, Illinois). I grew up in Muscatine and occasionally stay with my sister who lives in Rock Island on the border with Moline. I ran the Quad Cities Marathon in 2013 but last fall ran only the QCM 5K (just shy of my 63rd birthday). Modern Woodman Park remains my favorite minor league stadium. -
Blake Swihart, who made his MLB debut in 2015 at age 23 years and 29 days, faced stiff competition in Arizona from catcher Carson Kelly, who made his MLB debut in 2016 at age 22 years and 53 days. Kelly received more seasoning in the minors with 622 games to the 439 minor league games Swihart has played.

Blake Swihart could become available after the Arizona Diamondbacks designated the switch-hitting catcher for assignment:

Without David Price's 2020 salary of $32 million, the Red Sox would face an easier task of resetting. In the hypothetical, would Price accept the qualifying offer?

If David Price were a free agent this offseason, would the Red Sox extend the lefthander a qualifying offer?

The Florida Marlins went from 92 wins en route to a World Series title in 1997 to 54 wins in 1998: https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/FLA/ The 1993 San Francisco Giants won 103 games and the following year were on a 77-win pace before a strike ended the season on August 12: https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/SFG/ The 1993 Giants failed to advance to the postseason, finishing one game behind the Atlanta Braves in the National League West.

The Seattle Mariners on Sunday drew a crowd of 24,219 on the final day of the Edgar Martinez Weekend.* On Sunday I attended a home match of the Portland Thorns, who drew 25,218 fans, an all-time record in the National Women's Soccer League. * Saturday had the main festivities celebrating the induction of Edgar Martinez into the Hall of Fame.

For what it's worth, the Red Sox rank eighth in the league in fWAR among starters: https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=sta&lg=al&qual=0&type=8&season=2019&month=0&season1=2019&ind=0&team=0,ts&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&startdate=2019-01-01&enddate=2019-12-31 ... and seventh among relievers: https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=rel&lg=al&qual=0&type=8&season=2019&month=0&season1=2019&ind=0&team=0,ts&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&startdate=2019-01-01&enddate=2019-12-31 ... and third among position players: https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=al&qual=0&type=8&season=2019&month=0&season1=2019&ind=0&team=0,ts&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&startdate=&enddate=

Others grow weary of wild purely subjective from-the-gut guesses of a player's value.

Assign appropriate weight to values offered on this forum and elsewhere.

A 10-year Mookie Betts contract could be the next in a long line of regrettable long-term contracts. Or not.

According to one website David Price has a negative value of $44.8 million: https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trade-simulator/

One website gives Matt Barnes a surplus value of $29.6 million, just ahead of Eduardo Rodriguez ($26.9 million) and J.D. Martinez ($25 million): https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trade-simulator/

Perhaps the Rangers and Angels have not given up on the Wild Card either.

They’ve been disappointing recently but it’s still too early to give up on Chris Sale and David Price. FWIW I just traded for Sale in my fantasy league.

The.Mariners are to blame for only three Red Sox losses in their seven-game season series. Boston’s current seven-game losing streak tops Seattle’s longest losing streak of six (accomplished on four occasions this year).🙄 Boston’s single longest win streak of six this year matches Seattle’s longest (accomplished twice this season). Last year the Red Sox won 19 more games than the Mariners in the regular season and this year may maintain that margin even if the Sox fall short of the M’s 89 wins in 2018. The Red Sox have matched last year’s loss total at 54 (the Sox will need to go 49-0 the rest of the season to reach 108 wins). The Mariners need seven more losses to match their 2018 total of 73.

Not every player wants to play in Boston.

Who’s to blame? A league with more than a few good teams.

Perhaps Dave Dombrowski was in on Trevor Rosenthal and Anthony Bass only to see the righthanded relievers sign elsewhere. Or not.
