Yeah. A 7-year, $28MM/year deal would add up to $196 before incentives and that seemed very attainable with next offseason's shitty crop of pictures and the way the market is trending.

If a player is being intentionally walked, why don't they ever swing on what would be ball 3 or 4? You could make the pitcher have to throw an extra pitch, and just the unexpected nature of doing so could probably fluster a scrub reliever. Plus, if there's a runner on, a manager could draw up a swing-and-run and nab the catcher or an infielder napping on a slow pitch

THIS. FUCKING. OFFENSE.
Sometimes its just fucking 2 based 4 my life.
Jackie Bradley Junior is a criminally insane human being that deserves to be locked in an insane asylum.
And by "locked in an insane asylum" I actually mean immediately inducted into the HOF.
David Ortiz and JBJ are literally absolute madmen.
>back in 1st because the Eternal 4th Placer's got rained out
THANK YOU BASED RAIN, MY GREATEST ALLY
So who gets traded for a starter who doesn't suck bowls of dicks, Sox fans? JBJ and Swihart are my bets, maybe (hopefully) Young too.
>>67473512
>>67473728
>trading lefty killer
>>67472874
he should be
>>67473766
>
>>67473728
It will either be Swihart or Vazquez, those are the most expendable pieces and I don't think Dombrowski wants to keep both.
Both are excellent players.
JBJ isn't going anywhere. Here's why: Dombrowski fucking loves him, and he even tried to trade for him while he was in Detroit (back while JBJ was sucking).
My guess is that Holt might be put on the table, or if not him, then a shit load of prospects will be used.
Dombrowski is not afraid to use prospects as trade pieces, as his track record shows.
I just hope he keeps Moncada and Benintendi. I'd let anyone else go.
>>67473728
What will you give me for Wade Miley?
>>67473815
>big game wade will never stand up to farrell's low-effort managing again
>>67473808
They'll be more likely to keep Vazquez even though Swihart has a better bat, teams won't want to take a chance on CV re-aggravating his shoulder. Plus, should he return to full form, Vazquez becomes the best defensive catcher in the league for a long, long time.
Mookie and Xander are untouchable of course (I'm just talking younger guys at this point), and JBJ is a beast even if he can't hit over .250 consistently.

why is this happening

>>67474087
>Mookie and Xander are untouchable of course
Well they aren't "untouchable" that kind of mentality gets us no where, I just think Dombrowski won't listen to any calls about them if the price they offer isn't absurdly high.
I think if a team would give up a #1 pitcher and some other doohickeys to go with for say, Mookie, I think DD would at least consider it.
Every player on this team is expendable, some just come at higher prices than others obviously.
I think that if he can find a suitor for Hanley willing to take the contract OR a suitor for Pedroia with a really high offer, he'd pull the trigger in a second, but I just don't think that's realistic to expect.
My guess is that he's going to reach into the prospect pool and move a player like Rafael Devers, a top 25 MLB prospect, with a bunch of other lesser prospects for a starting pitcher.
That's just my guess.
If I had to rank the starting 9 players on the roster he'd be willing to trade, I'd put it in this order respectively: Vazquez/Swihart, Pedroia, Hanley, Rutledge, Shaw, JBJ, Xander, Mookie, Ortiz (no way in hell management would allow it)
I dont think he'd trade Young, but I'd put him between Rutledge and Hanley at this point if he wanted to.
>>67474419
Oh, realized I forgot Holt, put him ahead of Rutledge
>>67474419
>I think if a team would give up a #1 pitcher and some other doohickeys to go with for say, Mookie, I think DD would at least consider it.
>this is what pink hats believe
They would have to give up Mookie and a few lesser prospects for a legit ace. Unless you meant a #1 like you guys meant 5 aces last year, then yeah, it would take an """"""ace"""""" and some other doohickeys for Mookie.
>>67474598
you missed the point of that
DD would only trade Mookie or Xander or what have you if the trading price was ridiculously high
But you're too much of a douche to realize the point of my post.
>>67470159
How about those Mets though...
>>67474650
That Mookie and Xander are extremely overpriced in your eyes? Yeah I get the point.

>>67474726
To point out how dumb the words you typed sound when you say them out loud. You're basically saying that Dombrowski would only consider a trade for Chris Sale or Sonny Gray and a few other guys for Mookie Betts.
>>67474805
>You're basically saying that Dombrowski would only consider a trade for Chris Sale or Sonny Gray and a few other guys for Mookie Betts.
Well, ya. That's my fucking point. Someone would have to overspend for DD to actually trade him.
Jesus you guys.
How about not trading for a "legit ace" ? Yeah Cherington already tried that and it's failed miserably, but Dominator Dave should look for some solid #2-3 guys who won't break the bank and/or sell the farm.
Hypothetical:
If Price wised up and went full acemode as he was supposed to from this very moment until the last minute of the deadline, would you try to pawn him off for a nice package of 2-3 front-end guys, or risk him blowing up in September/October as he has in the past?
>>67474846
How do you know this? Are you Dave Dombrowski? Do you work for him? If Chris Sale was on the table for the Red Sox and all it took was Mookie Betts or Xander Bogaerts, he would do it in a second.
>>67474888
>If Chris Sale was on the table for the Red Sox and all it took was Mookie Betts or Xander Bogaerts, he would do it in a second.
That is the definition of overspending.
>>67474858

Who are you talking about?

>>67474858
The only thing you could get for Price is another Sandoval. No team wants any part of that disastrous contract
>>67474907
To get someone of his caliber, it's what has to be done. It would be more than Mookie or Xander by the way.

Jesus how much did you misunderstand the point of my whole post?
And DD isn't going to be trading for a Chris Sale.
All I said was for a starting pitcher. We can't afford to trade for a bonafide #1 starter from a team UNLESS DD does want to give up key roster starters, which nothing I have read even indicates he does besides a catcher.
>>67474991
>whomever came over in a trade to complete his "5 aces" mad-genius plan
He traded for Porcello, Miley, and Kelly didn't he?
Nobody he signed was a """""legit ace"""""". They were all test subjects that Cherington projected to be "aces"

If Cuckleballer continues to be their best pitcher and they are somewhat in contention by the trade deadline, I guarantee they'll trade for a #1. Probably not Chris Sale if the Whos continue to be good but maybe Sonny Gray.
>>67475159
Sonny Gray's stock has been blasted this season. He ain't a #1 by #1 trade value standards.
