bighurt574 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Sounds like he has a good Boston source, nailing their two deals today. May not help elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 For those of you pissed off - consider this possibility: Moncada's cieling comps are Robinson Cano and Manny Machado Kopech's cieling comp is Noah Syndergaard Then you've got another prospect with a cieling comp of a starting center fielder Round it off with another guy who you're gambling on development no through your system to a strength and into another high end starting roatation arm. You hit on this and you've turned 3 years of Sale into 7 years of Robinson Cano and Noah Syndergaard... ++. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Does Basabe go by his middle-name? I see he has a twin bro with the same first name but different middle name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCCWS Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 04:15 PM) My understanding is they already paid him about 20 million of the 31 million dollar bonus. The other 31 million was tax, which the White Sox won't be paying. So in essence they got 11 million thrown into the deal. Not quite as good as 31 million but not bad either. True. Red Sox have to pay an additional $31 Mil owed to Moncada. Supposedly this is why the package was less than Hahn originally wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd argue maybe they should have been looking for more high floor guys, especially after Moncado was in the deal, but overall I'm excited and think they got fair value.

Heads22 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 LOL @ people seeing that we asked for Benintendi and Betts last year and are pissed we got this now. I mean, Boston didn't offer them last year, so it's not like we somehow screwed up by not getting them last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Kudos to KW and RH for ignoring the artificial trade deadline of the first day of the Winter Meetings. Congrats on acquiring the most exciting player probably since Frank Thomas. And congrats on getting some sweet revenge and using Mike Rizzo like their b****, waiting for DD to conclude he has never met a prospect he wouldn't trade, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could make an argument that straight up, over the next three years, you'd prefer Betts to Sale. Betts is probably top 10 league wide in trade value, he's right there with Sale.

bmags Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Even though I think Giolito and Robles was a good starter return, the Moncada articles much more fun than the latest Giolito articles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
