bmags Posted January 11, 2019 Author Share Posted January 11, 2019 While it looks like Toronto chipping in, there is no offsetting contract sent back by dodgers. So adding some amount of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Dodgers adding more $, even if something small like $5M, doesn't seem like something a team that is in the hunt for Harper and trying to avoid the luxury tax would do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 They love have versatility so much that that they picked up another catcher capable of playing another IF position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sockin Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Martin due 20M this year so it will definitely be interesting to see how much $$ Toronto is eating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSpalehoseCWS Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I don’t see how the Dodgers can be a serious player for Harper. Even with cash coming with him this is going to put them even closer to the luxury tax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 This the Yankees and Dodgers both moving on from the whales. They waited around to see if they could get something done, it didn't, and they are moving on. The Cubs have also done nothing to show that they are in this either. It is really feeling like Harper and Machado may well belong to Chicago and Philly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Today’s moves actually make me think Dodgers are in on Bryce. Martin is a cheaper alternative than Cervelli and Realmuto, and they were also long rumored to like LeMahieu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bargaining power isn't what it was for him, especially now that hes down to 2 years of control. The Sox have the pieces, and if they land Machado, I would expect they will begin moving some of their assets for major league ready pieces. Either him or a top line SP would seem to be the move to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either him or a top line SP would seem to be the move to make. Because the Sox aren't trading significant minor league assets for guys with 2 years of control. If the Sox make moves like that, it will be a year from now. If they wanted a catcher, they could have signed Grandal (and they wouldn't have signed McCann). I am sure the Sox like Realmuto, but he doesn't fit the window at all. It isnt happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they offload Verdugo+ for Kluber or Bauer, it doesn’t make much sense in terms of need and financial risk vs. reward, aka opportunity cost.
