You are on this board because?
-
Question for pitchers and pitching coaches. Typically, how often and how many pitches will starters throw between starts? Instead of bullpen session, can they just come into a game and throw 25-30 pitches between starts?
-
It wasn't directed at you or anyone specific. It's time to sit back and enjoy this season. I'm certain DD and Cora will address any problems that crop up.
-
22 year old that can't field his position is batting third for team that won 108 games? Yeah, he sucks. What's Cora thinking?
-
Cora said Price is available out of the bullpen in the first two games in Seattle. Price will pitch the fifth game. I thought this was interesting.
-
we have a winner.....two valid points. No offense but I'll go with Cora. Does anyone here think it's hard to acquire a Sandy Leon? People on this board make him out to be a Hall of Famer. Oh my God, Chris Sale will now suck. Bank it.
-
I'm talking about how I keep track of regular season from April to September. Not the Seattle Series. +15 gets you to about 96 wins.
-
I use simple math.....count the number series won. +2 if we sweep and -2 if they sweep. The goal is to get to +15.

Sandy is set to make $2.475M. Swihart is under team control for 4 years.

Woke up happy today catching up reading all things Chris Sale. Watched his presser and it struck me how 'normal' players are.... His home is near the Spring Training facility. Playing for Sox allows him to be 'home' for additional two months. Mentioned how he's made it to his son's baseball practices. He has seen 6 of 14 games that his son has played. He's a dad, a husband. He's not going to squeeze out every little dollar. Let's not kid ourselves. He's still going to make boatload of money. How can you not like this guy?

What can we get for Betts after 2019 season? Won't there be a club out there who goes ALL IN in 2020 season? Having Betts only for one year may seem detrimental in terms of trading away a top prospect or two but what if that is that is exactly what a club is looking? One year financial commitment of say $28M. Major league ready shortstop along with both pitching and outfield prospects come to mind. My dream scenario is to acquire starting shortstop and outfielder for Betts and then sign him as a free agent in 2021 after we reset for 2020.
-
Who is our next priority? JD is set to make $23.75M in 2020. Then it drops to $19.375M Is is slam dunk that he'll opt out after 2019? How much more can he garner in open market? Why didn't he get more last year? He had a stellar 2017 season, no? I think he's as valuable to the team as Sale is in terms of intangibles and leadership in the clubhouse. Don't think that gets unnoticed by Henry and DD.
-
Starting Rotation 2019 Sale, Price, Eovaldi, E Rod, Porcello 2020 Sale, Price, Eovaldi, E Rod 2021 Sale, Price, Eovaldi, E Rod 2022 Sale, Price, Eovaldi Pretty strong line up for the playoffs. Next extension target should be JD Martinez. Get a front loaded six year deal done with opt out after third year.
-
1. Trout had two years left on his contract. That contract was VOIDED by both sides. New contract was signed and covers 2019 and beyond. He has new CB payroll average. 2. Sale has a 7 year contract that he signed with White Sox which ends in 2019. Red Sox assumed the contract when the trade was consummated. Sale will have a new contract that will go into effect after 2019 season. New contract has no impact on 2019 CB payroll. I'm still not clear if the signing date has any impact. Likely not since it covers services and payments for future performance.
-
He has two separate contracts, no? My final answer is this. IT WOULD BE f***ING STUPID FOR RED SOX TO PAY 92.5% PENALTY WHEN THEIR PAYROLL IS CLOSE TO DEATH PENALTY IN 2019. If I'm wrong, my apologies.
-
Trout's case has nothing to do with new rule. His old contract was voided and new one replaced. You got me on JD Martinez though. I have no link for you. But it seems silly to wait to sign on April 1st (a la Porcello) versus announcing on March 22nd.
-
12 years/$426.5M (2019-30) signed extension with LA Angels 3/20/19, replacing final two seasons of previous contract Trout signed a NEW CONTRACT that covers 2019 and beyond. Sale will sign a NEW CONTRACT that covers 2020 and beyond. 2019 is under the old contract.
-
It's great news about Chris Sale. Not concerned about Betts at all. Trade him after this season if he's going to test the free agency. Get something for him.
-
Severino had one year contract with Yankees for 2018. Chris Sale is on his last year of 7 year contract. Different scenario. Moon is right.
-
I thought replacement level meant average, thus it would lead to 81 wins.
-
Planning for the cliff Projected 2019 roster, Under team control 5 yrs Devers, Johnson, Velazquez, Brasier 4 yrs Vazquez, Beni, Eovaldi, Price, 3 yrs Dustin, E Rod, Barnes, Hembree, Workman 2 yrs Betts, JBJ, Sandy 1 yr Moreland, Xander, JD, Porcello, Sale, Pearce, Nunez, Holt, Thornburg I guess the good news is that we don't have any 10 year deals on the books. No bad deals right now as long as Price remains healthy. Final year of Sandoval.
-
We have five more years of Devers under team control and I'm going to just sit back watch him blossom. He's least of our worries.
-
What is enough for him? Trade him after the season. Surely we can get one bona fide young player for him.
-
Can we get one young, major league ready starting pitcher? I.m thinking either Dodgers or NL East team going all in.
