We also better be prepared to approach $150M payroll in 2020 if that is the case. If you sign Rendon, you better get some pitching.

They better be pro-rating Price's AAV down to $20M range at least if we're sending them a top 30 prospect.

Yah, certainly wasn't my go to move, but at this point it definitely feels like the most impactful move they can make. Or Moncada back to 2B, trade Madrigal as centerpiece for cost controlled SP or RF.

Robbie Ray + David Peralta. Going to stay consistent.

Bennett, you're such a troll on twitter. That is all.

I mean, all things being equal, if I were a millionaire many times over, I too would probably rather live on the west coast.

I roasted him on twitter for it. He knew exactly what reaction it would create, and not sure how that benefits anyone or anything associated with the org. Just bad reporting, frankly.

Lol, I am not campaigning for it dude. Just having a discussion as we sit around waiting for something real to talk about.

This article was discussed in length in multiple threads last night. This article title is also clear clickbait by DVS. Shame on him. Hahn didn't say that - some rival ALC scout did.

8 years $264M remaining. Marlins send $30M if he doesn't opt out after 2020. He could win the 2020 AL MVP, and he still isn't opting out. So really 8 years $234M. How much do they need to send along with Happ to make that a reasonable deal? $8M per year for the balance of the contract making it effectively $21M AAV? Would be interesting, that is for sure.

That'd be one way to excite this fanbase.

I haven't said jackshit about Peraza. Peralta. David Peralta. Very different.

I don't even think its worth the brainpower to analyze.

For real. If its for one season, I could live with a shitty defensive RF. Its not ideal. But committing to shitty OF defense for 4-5 years in insane.

We're on the same page.

HARD PASS. Dude is going to make close to $50M in his final 2 years of arb. Just sign Rendon and give up no assets if thats your plan.

Quite a package for 2 years of an expensive player.

He ignores things that don't fit his narrative. He's made that abundantly clear thousands of times.

How many more times will we hear you mention the same tired BS over and over and over again?

Sweet should mean Peralta is attainable.

Yah....as I predicted and was laughed at the other day...I'll believe an exciting winter meetings happens when it happens. This has been a complete snoozer for the first 45 hours.

I don't see any scenerio where Rick Porcello is the Sox top SP addition, and I don't take anything that guy says seriously. His next post that doesn't assume the worst for the Sox will be his first.

I don't even know if I'd want the Sox to sign Cole at 9/$350M or whatever insane deal he is about to get.

Texas also has no state income tax, so the Sox could have been the higher bidder and still been behind Texas,

I am moreso concerned that the Sox were actually interested in Jordan Lyles than the fact that he took a $1M or whatever less to play elsewhere.
