There's more of a chance of a starting pitcher being signed at this point than Matt Chapman.......and that's saying a lot.
-
How ironic is it going to be if Chris Sale pitched like a top ten pitcher 3 years in a row for Atlanta????
-
Maybe this is why the Red Sox refuse to give him $150 million dollars.
-
At this point you think he would have taken the biggest deal out there.....two weeks ago. Maybe Boras thinks a team who sustains an injury blinks in spring training, kind of weird to be taking that approach with two guys simultaneously. Boras is really good at what he does, but this feels like a rarity and he's completely f***ed things up for Snell and Montgomery. Sox might actually be doing something really smart here by waiting to pounce on him (if one could actually believe they would sign anyone at this point).
-
It's also a report about a meeting that took place two weeks ago, kind of sounds like Boras spin. I could just as easily see Philly or Texas swooping in and signing him at the last minute.
-
Montgomery Giolito Bello Crawford Pivetta/Houck/Whitlock/Winc
-
I don't feel like pulling up the list this early, but from my recollection it was a much more impressive list next year than this year in terms of pitching. You would think, that would decrease the value of Montgomery and Snell being able to sign a one year deal pillow contract.
-
Haven't I been saying all along that the Sox were going to sign Montgomery this offseason?????
-
I agree he’s not getting nowhere near the money Boras wanted him too and an another MVP season his highly unlikely. He just needs to be good enough to have someone offer him more than $50. I’ll put the odds at 50/50
-
Oh without a doubt he was a little lucky, but he was also definitively better than he was the previous years. He will still be 29 next year, he just has to have a decent year to have someone throw more than $50 million at him.
-
I don’t think his .648 over those three seasons is going to stop someone from giving him more than $50 if he has a decent year next year.
-
Yeah you’re right, I saw that he has an opt out. I’m not sure Bellinger is back, he certainly had a bounce back year but to his MVP campaign level at all. But even if he’s just good, he could probably get more than $50/2 next year.
-
Or like… $26.67 million for three years.
-
Even then I don't think it's accepted. If he's worth exactly $12 million for one year why not go out and get $30-$34 million for 3 years? Just as you said, I agree, I think he would seek a longer deal in that situation; this is probably why mutual options are almost never picked up by both sides. But it gets him $2 million dollars with the opt out.
-
I'm not sure the money has anything to do with it. If he's not worth 12 million, The Sox aren't exercising their end, if he's worth more than that then the player isn't exercising his option. I'm sure someone can dig up some mutual options that have been picked up on both sides before but they're almost never picked up by design.
-
I'm not running to the betting markets and throwing money on it, I just don't like he has a bad arm (talent wise). He just didn't cut it as a starter and has a hard time locating the ball, when you can shorten your arsenal and focus on only throwing a two pitches opposed to 3/4 sometimes guys take to that well. It's not a terribly unlikely story. Look, we're going to find out one way or another this year. He's out of options and he's finally going to be moving to the bullpen.
-
Certainly he can fail in the bullpen too, but young arm moves to the bullpen and cuts down on his arsenal and improves his command isn't the most unlikely story. It's the reason why many guys get moved to the bullpen to begin with.
-
Does he not have a MLB arm? or does he not have the control or ability to stay healthy to stay on a MLB roster. He seems like the kind of guy who can be moved to the pen and just take off. But the Sox should have done that last year.
-
All the Red Sox have to do is hit, pitch, run, and play defense better. Besides that they’re an excellent team
-
Are we really making up nick names already? This team hasn’t even played one game yet and we have already moved into aligning ourselves as supporters or haters of Breslow? What did we expect him to do in his first offseason? Sign Yamamoto or Ohtani? Or is it the other free agents that the other 29 teams haven’t signed either? It’s painstakingly obvious ownership has given him a budget to operate under. And all trades he’s made with the Sale trade aside as brought in what this organization significantly lacks. In the absence of ownership telling him to go big after free agents the only other thing he can do is draft, and he hasn’t even had one yet. Look, it’s a free country, but calling him “Bres-slow” at this point just seems a little ridiculous.
-
Well let’s see. 5 years of team control for a starting MLB outfielder is probably astronomically higher than a relief pitcher who’s had one good year with 3 years of team control.
-
What do you see in him that makes you think he’s like a college arm that will flame out? I’m certain no Sox fan have ever heard of this guy before today. Obviously he has a high bust rate, but he seems to have a high ceiling. If you were trading for a guy more MLB ready, you were never getting anyone near that potential for Schreiber. By all accounts this is a good trade.
-
This is exactly why BTV is garbage at times. Sandlin offers a ton more upside than Scheiber ever will. Sure, maybe he doesn’t even reach the majors. But the Sox traded a relief pitcher, who isn’t their greatest, and depending on who is in the bullpen wouldn’t even be a late inning guy for a prospect who has a chance to a be starting pitcher. Royals aren’t even going to that good this year. Interesting to see what CB does with this guy. Sure, he hasn’t made any really big time splashes yet, but he’s a pitching guru who’s been getting back mostly all pitching in his trades so far. These are obviously guys he and his circle have identified as guys who they can develop.
-
The amazing thing about Casas was how people were still putting him down into July, because so many at the end of the day only look at that overall stat line.
-
We should have sold high on him, this is EXACTLY why we should trade Anthony and Teel right now.
