teorey23 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Maybe it’s just me, but I’d much rather have Ivan Nova back than a declining-expensive David Price.. Go sign Dallas Kuechel, sign Alex Wood, bring back Ivan Nova. Go get Delin Betances, and might as well sign Steven Souza because they sure as hell aren’t bringing in Castellanos/Ozuna. And then next offseason go all in on Mookie Betts so we can get our hopes up again just so we can get shitted on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moan4Yoan Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 (edited) I know money is always a factor but I didn’t think I’d ever see someone post that they’d rather have Ivan Nova than David Price.

TheFutureIsNear Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 https://blogs.fangraphs.com/david-prices-trade-value/ This writer on fangraphs suggests $60M in excess value suggesting Price would struggle to get 2/30 on the open market. Also said fair trades just to equal out Price’s negative value are Eduardo Rodriguez +$30M or Benintendi +$5M per year of Price’s contract. That seems like a little bit of hyperbole to me. I think the value of potential TOR pitchers always get inflated just because of how few become available. But nonetheless, we’re talking $40+ Mil in negative value attached to Price. Don’t know much about him, but what do people think about getting Chavis back in a hypothetical deal? Not alone obviously, maybe with Groome/Houck attached as well. But chavis looks like he has some pretty good pop and could start at 2B until Madrigal is up and then be the RH side of a DH platoon + backup at 2B/3B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow. It's called Indifferent Fan Syndrome (IFS). When a fan is let down so much by their team they no longer get excited, and accept anything. They no longer care or have reasonable expectations. There is no cure if you support a Jerry Reinsdorf led franchise. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillian Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 (edited) Is the consensus here that, if Price were a free agent, with no qualifying offer attached, that he would get approximately $20 million per year, if it were a 3 year deal? If so, then Bloom has to know that Boston is either going to have to add a player, or money, to get a team to bite. I hope that other GM's understand that. It's not only about his value, it's about the degree to which the seller is motivated. It is obvious that Bloom is highly motivated.

soxfan3530 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Definitely not Nova, but would definitely rather have Keuchel or Ryu, especially since it only costs money. The only way I want price is with Benitendi attached and no prospects better than Collins going back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not only about his value, it's about the degree to which the seller is motivated. It is obvious that Bloom is highly motivated. Two thoughts: There are 5 teams interested but we don't know how interested. If 3 or 4 are truly interested, Bloom has some leverage. Price appears to be liked by his teammates but is not very popular w fans and he has a lot of media issues. He is regularly trashed on Boston sports shows.

If Alex Wood is only $8 million for one year, which is entirely plausible, sign him as the second starter regardless of acquiring Price. Hahn paid more for Nova last season.

However, their new GM was brought in to get their fiscal house in order. For the first time, in a long time, it appears that Boston will not be spending recklessly. The money they do spend is apparently intended to be allocated toward things like retaining Betts. It is clear that shedding Price's contract is a high priority. That is the most important point.

I have used 16 M as how I would value him but I realize it is subjective. Like you...I see no reason to help Boston out unless there is some reason to do so. Ryu and Kuechel are probably more reliable at the same money as Price. We need money or players to equalize the deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nardiwashere Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 To me, a Price + Benitendi or E-Rod framework makes lot of sense for the Sox. Where would our payroll be if we took no money back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way they trade Price AND Rodriguez without a pitcher like Lopez coming back. It has to be Price and Benintendi, with the idea of Boston pulling out all the stops to keep Betts off the market. Price and Jackie Bradley isn't going to be do it, with Bradley just being a one year rental. If it's Price and Benintendi, then Collins pretty much has to be the one to go.
