On the other hand we had to pay what we did for Price to get the ship turned around...looks like we got helped out by the Dodgers. We still owe $48M over the next three years starting in 2021. Trading half season of Miller for E Rod was one of the best moves for this organization. Would $300M for 8 years do the trick for Betts? It's a different ball game right now. I would not go anymore than that......
-
I'm half messing with you.....it's just frustrating....Big Payroll, Big Budget, small return when it comes to starting pitching..
-
Maybe because there's no science to pitching......can anyone really project out an 18 year old? And if there's secret to developing pitchers, why hasn't that guy made millions of dollars.....it's similar to guessing about our pandemic.
-
Maybe we can steal a title in a 60 game season.....meanwhile We get a break on Price sitting out the year.... What we got from Betts are looking better....60 games of Betts for 15 contract years... No one is getting a $350M/10 year deals after this year....too much uncertainty... Will Betts sign a one year deal? Loss of Sale is not as painful with shortened season.....
-
Let's look at this from humane perspective.... He needs to just stay home, take care of his family, cash the paychecks....his well being is more important but he needs to understand that...quit being selfish...think about the wife and the kids....I'm pretty sure they don't want to see him suffer with another setback which is bound to happen....
-
Yep.... Am I right in thinking that 1) players will not receive full year's pay if the season is shortened? 2) our payment to the Dodgers for Price is reduced for 2020?
-
I sure as hell wouldn't pay Mookie $28M for abbreviated season. Do the teams have insurance?
-
While at it, if JD opts out, make Dalbec a two way player. He can DH and become the closer. For rule geeks out there, I'm assuming a DH can come in to pitch.
-
If I'm Henry, I'd insist on surgery. He has millions invested in him. Why the f*** wait? If he has the surgery today, at least you know that he'll be back healthy at some point. To think he won't have to have a surgery during the duration of his contract is asinine.
-
I know it won't happen but it would be nice if last year's Pedey's contract can be reworked. Retire Pedey. Get the money from Henry in another way.
-
He became a dad recently....late arrival with permission....
-
Part of the problem is you rarely see a staff where all five starters average five or six innings. Certainly not like the old days
-
he probably hasn't seen that much cash available in years.....he's thinking 8 starters at $2M apiece.
-
We're probably not done yet.
-
He was shut down most of last year....I know it's Monday morning quarterbacking, but I wonder surgery was considered as an option last year. Probably hoping he'd come back for the playoffs in 2019.

"Yankees right-hander Luis Severino has been recommended to undergo Tommy John surgery after experiencing soreness in his right forearm at the start of camp, general manager Brian Cashman said on Tuesday. Severino had been scheduled to celebrate his 26th birthday last week by throwing a bullpen session, but he traveled to Orlando, Fla., for further examination by team physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad. The righty made just three starts in 2019." You just never know about the health of a pitcher. Sincerely, it's too bad. I don't want to see anyone getting hurt.

No way in hell Bloom is going to send one of our top 30 prospects. By assuming half of Myers' contract, we are simply buying prospects.
-
We won and Yankees have not......lets go build another winner!
-
We're not getting anything back.....
-
This is simply a salary dump for San Diego. Their return is Boston paying 1/2 of Myers actual salary. Boston doesn't give a damn about Myers. His contract is back loaded so his competitive balance payroll is much less than actual payout. Thus Sox may only get hit for $4-5M for luxury tax purpose. Meanwhile Sox will get a pitcher and maybe two more prospects. Bloom knows how to build the farm. And this is why JBJ is untradeable. Think about it. Bloom ain't willing to do what San Diego is doing. He ain't giving up prospects just so other team picks half of JBJ's tab. We're already under the cap. Unless some jackass picks up half of JBJ salary and expects no prospects in return, JBJ is here to stay.

Mookie Betts and David Price have been traded to Dodgers
Nick replied to Jasonbay44's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
I'm grateful that Yankees did not bolster their pitching at trade deadline last year. They are definitely NOT repeating, no matter what happens this year. Nothing like pissing away a great opportunity. -

If true, $300M over 10 years with opt outs is a great contract. We gave it a shot. Rather than holding you know what at end of 2020, we got some potential talent. No one wants to pay 50% cash penalty along with loss of draft spots. Does it matter who we win with? By the way, Mookie went 5-23 with 1 homer, ops of .699 in the World Series. To Kimmi's point, it's a crap shoot once you get into playoffs. Give me lights out pitching. -
Farm exists at the pleasure of major league ball club. I still think everyone on this board dismisses easily the state of Red Sox when DD was hired. Three last place finishes in four years. Look how alarmed we were last year finishing third and playing above .500 despite depleted starting pitching. Henry apparently told him to do whatever it takes to get us out of funk. 4 winning seasons, 3 division championships (I believe first time time in Red Sox history) and a world championship. Our current roster is NOT completely devoid of talent. We also have some young talent coming up. This is a pessimistic bunch. I'm looking forward to Devers repeating his last season and watching younger players making contribution to this ball club. I'm happy that my team has one of highest budget in baseball.
-
Moncada auditioned at 3B for a reason. We had Pedey under contract through 2021 season. Our baseball people further determined that Devers was better 3B. It took Kopech and Devers to get an ace with very reasonable cost. Let's not conflate Sale's new contract extension with the contract we inherited. It was a great trade. Just ask Freakin' Moon. Thus, Devers and Kopech is not part of 'decimating' the farm conversation. We got a great player for two prospects.

Thank you....my exact point.
