From today's chat with FanGraphs managing editor Jeff Sullivan: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/jeff-sullivan-fangraphs-chat-1-18-19/

Cody Allen may be off the board as well:
-
Yup.

The Red Sox may have the last laugh (again) but a Yankee fan writes ... http://www.nyyfansforum.com/showthread.php/138716-Official-2018-19-Offseason-Hot-Stove-Thread/page917

From a Yankee forum regarding Craig Kimbrel: http://www.nyyfansforum.com/showthread.php/138716-Official-2018-19-Offseason-Hot-Stove-Thread/page911

James Paxton reportedly settled for $8.575 million as the Yankees apparently avoided arbitration with everyone but Luis Severino: https://www.sny.tv/yankees/news/yankees-arbitration-tracker-austin-romine-greg-bird-settle-on-contracts/302606774

Hence the "up to $7.5 million" in my post.
-
To be precise, with a trade of Sonny Gray the Yankees could jettison up to $7.5 million, the 2019 salary the parties agreed upon to avoid arbitration.

I joined the discussion when the honorable notin asked whether Bobby Dalbec and Darwinzon Hernandez would be enough to land "stud" reliever Will Smith: https://www.talksox.com/forum/threads/19013-A-Realistic-View-at-2019-Part-I/page147?highlight=stud Feel free to follow the discussion from there, including when notin directed me to the FanGraphs FV.
-
The highest FV for a Red Sox prospect is 45 while the other 10 teams ranked so far each have at least three prospects with higher FV, including the Atlanta Braves with 10 prospects with higher FVs.

Working off the FanGraphs rankings released on Thursday: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/top-26-prospects-boston-red-sox/
-
I don't have access to the Baseball America rankings but Bobby Dalbec and Darwinzon Hernandez are ranked No. 4 and No. 5 by SoxProspects, No. 6 and No. 7 by MLB Prospect Watch and No. 2 and No. 7 by FanGraphs.

FanGraphs managing editor Jeff Sullivan suggests that Will Smith may have more trade value than Madison Bumgarner: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/somebody-go-get-will-smith/

Unlike Tim Beckham and Dustin Ackley, Trey Ball is unlikely to post 3 fWAR in a single season.
-
In the past two days the Seattle Mariners have signed the No. 1 pick in the 2008 draft and No. 2 pick in the 2009 draft. Tim Beckham and Dustin Ackley are expected to provide only infield depth.
-
What is the cumulative total of raises for the 12 arbitration-eligible Red Sox players? How do the raises impact the available payroll in light of luxury-tax implications? OK. Moonslav addressed the questions on a separate thread.
-
Edwin Encarnacion!?!?😀😀😀 ... athough the Rays lack a big contract to trade back to Seattle. How much of the $25 million remaining on Encarnacion’s contract would the Mariners need to pay to get a decent prospect?
-
The Rays have defensive whiz Mike Zunino, who is a year removed from a 3.7 fWAR season.
-
The Rays already have a better defensive catcher in Mike Zunino: http://fieldingbible.com/complete-votetally.asp ... who in last year’s down season posted 1.5 fWAR to the negative 0.8 fWAR posted by Christian Vazquez. Zunino’s 2017 fWAR of 3.7 nearly triples the 1.3 career fWAR of Vazquez, who is older than Zunino.

FanGraphs posts its Red Sox prospect list: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/top-26-prospects-boston-red-sox/
-
Madison Bumgarner is a 29-year-old with a one-year commitment at a $12 million salary while Dallas Keuchel is a 31-year-old with a projected four-year, $82 million contract. Risks abound.
-
The Rays might be reluctant to trade five years of lefthander Jose Alvarado and take on salary in the form of a three-year commitment to a backup catcher.
-
Don't shortchange the Seattle Mariners: https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=1b&stats=bat&lg=al&qual=0&type=8&season=2018&month=0&season1=2018&ind=0&team=0,ts&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0

And conversely, if the Yankee first basemen outperform the Red Sox first-baggers, moonslav clearly wears the rose-colored glasses. I simply cited a source with no obvious bias.
