No trade talk......lets' just sign EE and call it a day....we lose what? 27th pick?
-
Can we get Q without trading away Moncada?
-
It hasn't gone up in last 3 years is because the last contract with Players Union was good for 3 years....not being a dick...just a fyi
-
I think the qualifying offer is up over $17M.....last year for the first time we had players accept the QO. I think you'll see more of that...

Sox are also in great shape. Betts 2017 2018 2019 2020 Bradley Jr 2017 2018 2019 2020 Benitendi 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Bogaerts 2017 2018 2019 Pedey 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Ramirez 2017 2018 2019 Swihart 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Shaw 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Vazquez 2017 2018 2019 2020 Moncada 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Pablo 2017 2018 2019 Price 2017 2018 2019-2022 if not opt out Rodriguez 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Wright 2017 2018 2019 2020 Porcello 2017 2018 2019 Pomeranz 2017 2018 Kelly 2017 2018 Kimbrel 2017 2018 Ross Jr 2017 2018 Hembree 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 R Scott 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Holt 2017 2018 Sandy 2017 2018 2019 Carson S 2017 2018 2019 2020 Clay B 2017? That's pretty good nucleus to move forward with.....

I suppose if we can repeat as a division champ and retain all of our high end prospects, then we'll have a better idea as to next course of action a year from now. Benintendi becomes a full time regular LF Moncada slides into 3B sometime in June. Swihart becomes either a starting catcher or super utility player. Able to play any position other than SS/2B. Kopech makes major league debut as a reliever in August/Septmeber. Johnson becomes a bona fide major league pitcher, Clay B is traded for a young, controllable reliever in July. To be continued
-
We probably have a good enough team to repeat. I guess the ultimate question is what if our starters fail again in 2017, in the playoffs? Would that be the time to make a major trade for the front of the rotation type guy, maybe giving up a star in making position player? Or will we be lamenting the fact that we did not making a push this winter?
-
You give absolutely no credit for increase in attendance during his tenure in Detroit.....look up the correlation between winning and attendance. By your definition, Red Sox was a major failure for all of 20th century. Apparently we spent 100 years building for the future, 2004.
-
Exactly. What a bunch of hypocrites...Sox fans dissing 4 consecutive Division titles? you can't win the big one without first getting into the playoffs....increase in attendance=increase in revenue....what the f***? you numb nuts think Henry is in this to win a f***ing trophy? winning=increase in attendance, tv revenue=value of franchise goes up. If I'm buying the Tigers, it's important for me to know that 3M+ attendance is achievable. It's an investment. I'm little surprised at some of you esteemed posters.
-
Or Imagine if we had a GM that brought 4 straight Division titles and more importantly drew 2M+ fans for 11 straight year, 4 of those 3M+. Apparently the fans enjoyed DD acquisitions. He owes no apology.
-
No point in Sox taking the risk....typically that's what we do....roll the dice and lose (because odds are against us)
-
Please stop! Lets talk about the babe ruth trade.
-
JBJ is definitely a keeper...but Xander will become FA AFTER 2019 season (3 yrs of arbitration coming up); Betts will become FA after 2020 season. JBJ will becomie FA after 2020 season but unlike Betts, he will have 4 yeas of arbitration beginning next year. Rick Porcello will also become FA after 2019 season. I'm not sure if the Sox can sign all of them. Both Hanley and Pablo will come off the books after 2019 season.
-
I never understood why we didn't try to re-sign Beltre. He was the consummate baseball professional. Victor Martinez too. When can we start signing international players? July 1st?
-
This is why I don't see DD making a play for White Sox pitchers. Now if they come to us with a reasonable player requests, then you'd have to listen. Even solidifying our bullpen looks not to be daunting as originally looked. We are in much better shape than last winter.
-
http://boston.locals.baseballprospectus.com/2016/10/21/building-red-sox-bullpen-on-the-cheap-for-2017/ Here's a thought on how Sox can come up with a serviceable pen in 2017.
-
Sox should be open to all options....the goal is to put 9 best players on the field, no? It maybe that we have 9 position players for 8 spots. DH could be handled by a committee at that point. Do I think that will happen? Probably not because DD in my opinion will take long hard look at EE. What we think really doesn't matter. We have fun with it. I try to listen carefully to what the management says and that's my starting point. I get the sense that Sox FO is pretty content with the starting rotation going into winter trades. Picking up the club option for Clay B appears certain based on what I've read so far. I just don't want to give up E Rod at this point in any trade proposals. FO does seem to be talking up Pablo's health. Are they talking themselves into thinking he can start at 3B? I just don't see it.
-
Nope it's about Bogey + Moncada > Bogey + Iggy
-
Only the Sox fans have no faith in #1 major league prospect. No one thinks he'll win the job in the spring training. He maybe a midyear call up. I'm okay with that because that means we will have him under team control for next 7 years. If you give me another $60M bust, I'd fire everyone that was responsible his signing.
-
Thanks....
-
Name a trade you would have made and let me know if you know for sure what you would had to give up..... Again the problem is DD lives in a real world.....you have no idea how may trades he looked at.....rest of us live in fantasy baseball world.....we just do.
-
You will have to type slower so that I can understand what you just wrote.
-
Yep, some fans would rather sacrifice the efforts of 24 players trying to win the Division. Love Monday morning quarterbacks. Let me say this. I don't give a f*** if Espinoza becomes a Hall of Famer. DD did what he had to do at the time to give 2016 Sox a chance to win the Division.
-
As a 11 year old from Japan, Rico Petrocelli was my favorite American player.
-
I like the long term potential of Moncada/Xander vs Iglesias/Xander left side of infield.....former won't cost us anything....Moncada with very minimum six more years of team control....BTW, isn't he #1 prospect in mlb?
