Fedde was $7.5 million for the entire season, 1/3 of that is like $2.5 million. Pham is $3 million, so a million there. Kopech appears to be $2 million, so 700k there. Subtract out the 800k total for three minimum wage salaries for 1/3 of a year and we are talking like $3.5 million in savings, depending on what the cash part of the deal looks like.

Trying to accumulate some system wide talent instead of two players who will be gone by the time the team is good again.

With the hopes of being wrong, my Yankees prediction Crochet, DeJong, and Benitendi for Jones, Pereira, and Anthony Hall Sox retain $5 million per season of 10D.

This group deserves all of the poop it gets.

Ugh, their position players have been so bad this year. if it isn't Dominguez, pass.

Or the Sox wanted a lot more than him.

I don't know why you think this isn't a rebuild, but when you have short term players on a team that is something like 50 games from playoff contention, they are assets you move. Period, end of story. Nobody wants this or likes this, but it is the path moving forward.

Jerry and Chris's hurt feelings over his extension demands.

I would love to see this happen. I would LOVE to be wrong here.

I can neither confirm nor deny...

Well all of the sudden those older players they would rather move might be in play.
