It's the allotment of what they can spend. Genius move for ownership at least as a fan that bonus money is pretty much the life blood of bringing in international talent.

pcq Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Slight over reaction as they still have $4M to spend. They might have a line on a new group of boat people coming over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, because he did win the WS and he has all the pictures and tapes to look at from 2005 to prove he's a success. When Jerry bought the Sox, their last WS appearance was 1959 and only other WS titles were 1906 and 1917. So his legacy in his mind is that one WS title.

username Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Guys, has anyone considered the fact that the Sox will forefeit $500,000 in INTL spending if they sign a qualifying offer FA? http://m.mlb.com/glossary/transactions/qualifying-offer Assuming they're still allowed to keep/trade that money (i.e. it's not stripped), the two trades with Texas now make way more sense. If they're expecting to land a QO free agent they can't spend it anyways...think when we trade INTL money while in the penalty from Robert.

They will lose 500K in the following year's pool, and they will not be able to trade the money they forfeited during free agency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot trade future bonus pools, you can only trade within the current year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's basically all gone from this years pool money. Between who they did sign and what they traded away . If all the sources i was reading are correct it's possible they have slightly less than $500K left after I added up the cost of who they signed, how much they traded away and what the starting point was.
