Reminder.... Luxury tax is determined at year end. That's ten months from now. Why the panic? We can get rid of Mookie and about $8M at trade deadline, no? Surely we can get a comparable 4th round draft pick in a trade for Mookie.
-
What the hell Moon? So you would have not made the Chris Freakin' Sale trade? What are you saying?
-
Yep.....that's why Henry brought in a fixer to right the ship. 3 Division titles, 1 World Series Championship followed by an injury plagued season to the projected top of the line starting pitchers resulting in a third place finish. Trashing of DD is bit over the top. Our farm system is not dead last. It's 21st or so and improving. So big f***ing deal that we have to rebuild. Welcome to real world wusses. There are thirty teams trying to bash you in. If we can't rebuild with $208M budget then something is wrong. Merry Christmas everyone.
-
Yankees now have positioned themselves to dominate next three or four years. If it wasn't for Ellsbury, they could've have signed another starter. Scary thought. We're fighting for a wildcard spot.
-
My subject was on bad contracts that exists on Sox books as of today. You made your point. There's no way I'd pay one individual $40M. We simply have to agree to disagree. Don't get upset Moon. We all want the same thing, another world series title.
-
Bad contracts Chris Sale....this will be year 1 of his new contract with AAV value of around $25M. No one with certainty can tell me that it's a bad deal. Nathan Eovaldi.....a four year deal with chance to turn around over next three years. David Price....a signature 7 year deal...3 Division titles and a world series. Lets see what next three years will bring and then evaluate his contract in its entirety JD Martinez....I'm good with his deal. He's given us exactly what we needed year after Ortiz' departure. Any others?
-
your value is based on future cash flow, simple as that.
-
But you're willing to pay Betts upwards of $50M for one season, almost 25% of luxury tax limit.
-
Yep....we're only $10M over right now. We can get rid of players in July to get under the cap if the team is going south. Luxury tax is not determined on opening day. Someone will bite on Betts then.

6) We will waste our time talking about Mookie Betts As they attempt to get under the Competitive Balance Tax threshold, the Red Sox are going to try like heck to unload some payroll obligations by moving David Price (three years, $96 million remaining) or Nathan Eovaldi (three years, $51 million) in the right deal, and, of the two, Eovaldi is more likely to move. It also sure feels like Jackie Bradley Jr., who will likely make eight figures in his last round of arbitration, could go. What will definitely happen at the Winter Meetings, though, is a lot more public Betts discussion than is necessary. His trade market is too limited by his projected arbitration salary and his proximity to free agency (next winter). The payroll goal is not so pressing that it should compel Boston to make a bad baseball trade. Per MLB

Calling All Budgies - the Red Sox 2020 payroll thread
Nick replied to Bellhorn04's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
I don't care if it's only for one year.... no one is paying $40-$50M for anyone. You'll getting too deep into analytics, trade simulators....get out of the forest. -
Calling All Budgies - the Red Sox 2020 payroll thread
Nick replied to Bellhorn04's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
I don't see anyone eating $28M of Betts salary. See where we are and trade him in July. The monetary cost will be around $8M, a team contending could stomach that amount and give up some players. -
I just don't want him traded for a middle of pack reliever....he may turn out to be a 10 year player for us....unlikely but may..
-
Unless we have cheaper, more productive alternative I don't see the need to trade Dalbec. We don't really know what we have in Dalbec, no? If JD opts out after 2020, Dalbec can always DH. We're in no position to trade our prospects. I thought we're rebuilding the farm.
-
but but but, Sandy is the only professional catcher that can handle our pitching staff....I guess we're punting 2020 now that future Hall of Famer, Sandy Leon is gone.
-
Lets hope not. If I recall, Dr. Lecter cut off his cuffed hand to escape.
-
You're correct....
-
Mr. Gagme was waste of two years....
-
I like it....
-
What MLB needs in next CBA is Frugal Tax....Tax any club who has say a payroll of $100M or less. Tax rate can be 50% of delta between $100M and actual CBA Payroll. That will help the players.
-
Good Post Think die hard Yankee fans are doing back flips for getting to the AL Championships? Nope (I wouldn't be) How about them Cubs? They won it all a year early, they had the GM and Manager of the century. How did that turn out? Looks like their cliff is fast approaching.
-
Lets' take out Kopech and Moncada....unless you think Sox gets Chris Sale and his friendly contract for NOTHING. Wade Miley? A fifth starter at best that Sox fans couldn't wait to get rid of when he pitched here? I'll let Moon talk about Shaw, because he had much to say about Shaw in his last year with the Sox. How many would be on our 40 man roster? You know the team that finished 3rd in the Division.
-
can we ease up a bit on tearing down the farm by DD? Give me a list of major league all stars that we've given up....
-
this....
-
Think Yankee fans are happy? LA fans? I wouldn't be...especially the Yankees....one premier pitcher would have increased their chances. Should have done more at the trade deadline.
