Mookie Betts: Trade or Extend
5GoldGlovesOF,75 replied to jacksonianmarch's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Any Betts trade would have to bring back major league ready prospects. For example, to LA for Lux, Verdugo and May -- young players that could slot right into the lineup and rotation. Of course, the Dodgers would have to take Price, too (subsidized by Boston). This would be the quickest way to help lower payroll, change the culture a bit and stay competitive. The Sox can't afford to just take back 19 and 20-year olds that are a few years away from the bigs. We already have those guys. -
Mookie Betts: Trade or Extend
5GoldGlovesOF,75 replied to jacksonianmarch's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
I just don't see any club giving up multiple valuable prospects for one year of Betts... especially not a package that would equal the value of Mookie Betts in his prime in a salary drive season. His 2020 campaign just might put a team on top, and I'm hoping that team is the Red Sox. The first thing I'd do is find a way to dump Price -- eating half his contract and adding a minor leaguer with promise to sweeten the deal; his act has to be a downer for public relations and I almost think his actions (like calling a presser to dis Eck) are a deliberate way to force their hand. -
Hi: new poster, old Sox fan here. Been reading this site all year, living/dying for Boston half a century. With the Yanks eliminated, it's a relief. Now most of us can relax and enjoy a World Series without the stress of rooting for or against personal heroes and demons. NY had a great, basically miraculous season overcoming all those injuries; it's too bad the majority of their fans view every year that they don't win the final game as a failure (young New England sports fans are probably growing up the same way, which is unfathomable to old timers). I'm not gloating about the 2018 ALCS -- the Sox beat Cole and Verlander, but let's not forget that Altuve and Correa were both hobbled and neither could hit with power...
