    That's 30 million for ONE year, and it's not even 30 million because its pro-rated to only 36% of the salary today. So if that trade was made today they're adding only about $10 million in Salary. They might look to shed some money to get below that third threshold, but they'd only need to dump 1-2 million
  2. Hugh2
    Yeah they probably want one of Early/Tolle plus Eyanson and another prospect. BTV does accept it as fair value with Colorado getting about $10 surplus value from it.
  3. Hugh2
    No he goes back into the rotation when he's healthy, which may be very soon? I think the Sox should seriously consider going to a 6 man given the innings high for Tolle and Bennet

    Witt is probably the most untradeable guy in baseball. Ok maybe not, but he's up there. Teams like the Royals consider trading guys like that when they don't have team control and they know they can't resign them. Witt has one of the highest surplus value in the bigs. Here's a trade I worked out in BTV rated as fair value, which typically teams need to add surplus value in prospect for big league palyers. So if you think this is too much....remember that. Red Sox get Bobby Witt Jr, Seth Lugo, taking on roughly 25 million in Salary for Lugo Royals get: Franklin Arias, Payton Tolle, Marcelo Mayer, Anthony Eyanson, Enndy Azocar, Justin Gonzales

    First trade: Mets get: Marcelo Mayer, Kyson Witherspoon Sox get: Francisco Lindor, Freddy Peralta, $50 million dollars. We plug up the infield and improve the offense, Peralta adds much needed depth to the rotation. If the Mets would take back Trevor Story instead of adding $50 million I'd consider that as well. Second trade: Rockies get: Anthony Eyanson, Marcus Phillips, Connor Wong Red Sox get: Hunter Goodman. Third trade: There is no third trade, I'm bringing up Frankling Arias additions: Francisco Lindor, Freddy Peralta, Hunter Goodman, Franklin Arias Lineup: Masataka Yoshida - DH Francisco Lindor - SS/2B Wilson Contreras - 1B Hunter Goodman - C Wilyer Abreu - RF Caleb Durbin - 3B Ceddane Rafaela -CF Jarren Duran - LF Franklin Arias - 2B/SS Rotation: Sonny Gray/Payton Tolle/Freddy Peralta/Jake Bennet/Opener then Bello)

    Lindor is playing hurt, which is probably stupid, but assuming his medicals are fine I'd expect him to be 100% next year. He didn't go from GG to horrible in one year. Lindor might also be available, where's Marte might not be. Lindor at 5/100 might be very good. he only really needs to be a 2.5 WAR player for that contract to be worth it
  7. Hugh2
    He's owed less, but you can have the Mets pay down Lindors contract. Lindor is also allegedly on the market right now where the Nationals are two games out of a wild card so I don't think Marte is on the market. I think Lindor for 5/100 would be really good. I'd love me some Marte too if the Nationals become sellers.

    Don't ever eat the words......people are quick to jump on board to hate a trade but Durbin is a perfect, perfect example that they're judged best over time. There's still time for that trade to swing either way.
  9. Hugh2
    Despite his level of play this year, I think Lindor is going to bounce back and be well worth it, even if he's declining. He's obviusly playing thru something this year. This guy was just a 6.3 WAR guy last year. And I don't want to see anyone here quote is age if you were for bringing in Ketel Marte this past offseason who is literally 2 days OLDER than Lindor. Unfortunately I don't remember who that was so we will have to go on the honor system here.
  10. Hugh2
    If Lindor comes back healthy and is 1/2 as good as he's been he will be worth every dollar
  11. Hugh2
    Well then the Mets wouldn't get back a prospect, and that's what they're going to want. They're kicking the money in to get a return. BTV Accepts Marcelo Mayer to NY for Lindor and 55 million dollars. But if you Lindors contract paid down, them to take Story, and make a deal that appeals to NY desire for prospects then a deal looks like: BTV Also Accepts Marcelo Myaer Anthony Eyanson, Kyson Witherspoon and Trevor Story for Francisco Lindor and 55 million dolalrs. Id' take the first one.
  12. Hugh2
    After the Mets pay down his contract tract you’re likely paying Lindor a lot less AAV than Story.
  13. Hugh2
    Mets are kicking in 50-60 million. id happily take Ali for for 20 million a year
  14. Hugh2
    A paid down contract….yes.
  15. Hugh2
    Arias is knocking on the door now, I think if he’s. It in the majors be early 2027 (if not a September call up this year) something horribly went wrong. If Arias goes to short I’m sliding Lindor over to 2nd
  16. Hugh2
    Better off with Story? Yeah…..I don’t think so. Odds are we are paying Story to rehab again next year
  17. Hugh2
    The Mets are notorious for eating money to bring back a return. I think you can get them to heavily subsidize his contract. BTV Accepts Marcelo Mayer and Marcus Phillips for Francisco Lindor with the Mets sending $60 million of his 162million dollar contract. I believe Lindor is plagued by injury this year and will be better either going down the stretch or from 27-30. I think he'd easily be worth $20 million a year and he can play next to Franklin Arias the next several years.
  18. Hugh2
    Francisco Lindor would be the perfect double play partner for Franklin Arias in 2027.
  19. Hugh2
    I don't like the rainout, you almost don't want to stop playing when you're this hot. It's going to really start to feel like a special season if they come back today and tie the record at 15.
  20. Hugh2
    The major acquisitions are the pieces we didn't sell off. 🥴
  21. Hugh2
    How bout them Patriots bro....training camp set to being.
  22. Hugh2
    I remember the Red Sox had a 12 game winning streak in 1995, I was 13 years old and my uncle who was a massive Yankees fan took me to see game 13. the Sox lost that game. I felt like a curse.
  23. Hugh2
