YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Everything is falling into place. Now we need Davis to go back to Baltimore and St. Louis to trade for CarGo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selling him hard as everyday RF/LF option, as well as 1Bman Oops. Right. The real question is how much rope does Pompey get after last season? Boras is just doing his job to open up his market to the NL, but it's as convincing as me selling Ian Desmond as the next Ben Zobrist/Chone Figgins.

BlackSox13 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Just my speculation but I wonder if Toronto is the mystery team? Salary commitments to 10 players = 99.6M Arbitration projections for 8 players= 26.5M Minimum salary for 6 players @500k= 3M+ Toronto's total payroll for 24 players not including Revere sits at about 129M so they have room for one of Cespedes/Upton and I'd venture to guess they could have the money since they were a playoff team and made a few extra bucks.

caulfield12 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 But you can add the Jays to the list of all-in teams...in a loaded division since the O's will probably add one of the big names. Pretty much every team in the AL is all-in but the Twins, and you can probably cross TB and Oakland off too but Beane is the one who shocked the world signing Cespedes in the first place.

Bob Sacamano Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Due to the Jays having an open corner spot, I'd put them as a higher threat than Nationals personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not signing Price opened up this possibility, fwiw. Imagine that line-up with one more power bat. Blocking Pompey won't stand in the way of a super team if they can make the numbers work. The brewery certainly wants to sustain the financial success and bandwagon that kicked off last July.
