Expand Now that actually does start to make sense…since they were willing to throw a lot at Suzuki and aren’t 100% on their closing options. SF also seems much likelier than Haniger or Bellinger.

maloney.adam Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) Both Myers and Upton bat right handed. I bet it’s Bellinger, Lux or Yastrzemski. The Dodgers may think Jansen is gone. Edited March 17, 2022 by maloney.adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Bellinger made $16M last year in arbitration, is due to make $17M this year, and has 1 year of arbitration left. That's a fair amount of money for what he's done the last 2 years, but obviously you'd be hoping for a bounce back.

caulfield12 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) SoxTalk simply cannot handle Myers for Kimbrel and Conforto signing with SD… Unless they were going to send a Top Ten prospect or two back the other way, which everyone would immediately forecast failure for (thinking Campusano.)

chw42 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Bellinger fixed himself in the playoffs. I doubt he ever returns to MVP form, but he is obviously still very talented and worth way more than Kimbrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almagest Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Bellinger was HORRIBLE last year. One of the worst players in baseball. It makes some sense that LA would look to swap his $16m for Kimbrel's. Their outfield is then likely Taylor/Betts/Pollock. From the Sox perspective, if Bellinger sucks again, he's arb eligible after this year so you just don't offer. If he's good, they can keep him until 2024. This makes too much sense to me, so it cannot possibly be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
