Looks like getting a couple of good pieces for Betts might have been the right call. He is starting the year on the DL because of the flu/pneumonia. Nothing to do with his arm. The Yankees have lost: Judge, Severino and Stanton. Trading Betts was iditoic and absurd as the Red Sox would be within 2 projected wins of the Yankees without the move.

The idea of Chris Sale getting sick and losing 10 lbs is perhaps the most terrifying concept possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time you responded, I meant to say that I would be surprised if he didn't end up on the IL at some point this season because of his arm. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/03/chris-sale-headed-for-elbow-mri.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EloyJenkins Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 In hindsight if Kopech ends up being a #3 or better Sox absolutely came out on top of that trade. Yes they won a world series...but his impact compared to 5-6 years of Yoan and Kopech tilts to Sox big time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoYoIsMyHero Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) Yelich and Brewers closing in on a big 7 year extension. With the two years left on his deal and the mutual option this could be for 10 years total. Edited March 3, 2020 by YoYoIsMyHero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominikk85 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 The Trade itself was great for the red sox. The extension might turn out bad but the 3 years they traded for were lights out, he was worth 17.4 war those 3 years. Still a good trade for the sox even though moncada took longer than expected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Look at Ray Ray Run Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Sale is done; sad to see it. Always will like the guy and root for his dominance. His arm is broken it seems though; he wasn't even going anywhere near 100% and now they're seeking 3rd opinions which most definitely means the MRI was very bad. You don't seek third opinions to confirm good news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this will heal all and he'll come back as good as ever. He'll be 31 soon and 32 the next day he steps on the field to pitch. He's not getting any younger.

They got a World Series out of it. They're super pleased with how that deal turned out.. BOTH teams should be pleased. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcq Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 The present 2020 draft proposal would consist of five rounds and a 100K limit on upfront bonus money with the remainder deferred over two years. This would lead to prospects sitting out the draft and waiting for next year. Related issue would be getting another year of school eligibility. First comment is that MLBPA is not looking out for future members in this situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At best these players wont be union members for 2 years and most will never be union members for any length of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I just read something interesting. The way it is set up now, the highest paid MLB player in 2020 is going to be Prince Fielder who is owed $24 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcq Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Chris Archer should be available next year after having TOS surgery and sitting out this year. The Pirates have an $11M option for next year but their payroll is $60M. The recovery history with TOS is not strong. The Pirates are a sad mess.

No - It was a shot out to a different rule being applied to Ken Griffey Sr. having his son (Ken Griffey Jr) on the field vs. Craig Nettles, who was allowed to have his son on the field. The directive came straight from Steinbrenner himself. Was back when Griffey Jr. was a kid but rightfully drove a hatred for all things Yankees. The article spells it out in good detail.
