JUSTgottaBELIEVE Posted April 1, 2019 Author Share Posted April 1, 2019 The list is getting smaller but the Sale and Bogaerts extensions indicates to me that the Red Sox are likely to let JDM walk after he opts out following this season. They still need to extend Betts as well. Sox better be ultra aggressive in bringing JDM into the fold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moan4Yoan Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 The Sox aren’t going to throw a ton of money at a 32 year old DH. C’mon man, you know this isn’t going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're 6 deep in legit OF prospects. Plus Basabe and Adolfo(forgot about him) have one option left after this season. They're going to be up sooner rather than later Edited April 1, 2019 by Jack Parkman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relying on all of them to hit and be productive mlb players is a fools errand. I suspect some of the outfield prospects will be dealt for pitching. I also see the Sox going hard for a guy like Puig on a 3-4 year deal this offseason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Look at Ray Ray Run Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) 11 hours ago, Tony said: There is absolutely no reason that Eloy can’t man LF for the next 5 seasons. Parkman just keeps repeating he's a long term DH, after three games in left field, for really no reason.

I forgot Adolfo as well. They have 6 legit OF prospects not including Eloy. 2 will probably pan out, and I think all can play RF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Sox should really explore the prices of comp picks from the low revenue teams, there may be some value in acquiring those and getting the discount on the free agents with picks attached to them (without losing the draft flexibility).

ChiSox59 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Castellanos + Grandal + best SP we can get our hands on. I can dream on Cole, but I admit that is just a dream. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't quite tell what you're saying here so forgive me - does this mean that the White Sox should trade for a comp round pick and then if they signed a free agent with a QO, the comp pick is the one they'd lose for the signing?

Not necessarily the same pick, I think the league just phrases it as "2nd best" or "3rd best". The question is if the market for comp balance picks is "correct yet", and whether the total cost of QO free agent + assets required in trade (money and/or prospects) is greater or less than how they value the free agent market without QOs attached. There is a possibility the comp balance picks are overvalued and it would not make sense. But if they are undervalued, and the cost of losing a draft pick causes the QO free agent to be undervalued in years and dollars, there is a combination there that makes it interesting. edit: the fantasy part of this is expecting the sox to create an accurate value system.

Given that guys like Keuchel and Kimbrel have gone unsigned and it might only cost a 2nd round pick, if I had to guess, I'd say teams are over-valuing those picks rather than undervaluing them, but would be open to examples to counter that.

No. With how far the 1b/DH has fallen in cost, it makes sense to wait until the off season. We could maybe get a 2/20 done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
