No doubt in my mind that a healthy Dahl is far superior than what Eaton brings. But that's just it, Dahl appears to be made of glass.

Harold's Leg Lift Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Good deal for both. Dahl will get plenty of opportunities to play and DH'ing should help keep him healthy. This is the kind of low risk/high reward moves teams like the Rangers should be making.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you guys have been ok with that deal with Dahl being our starting RF? And if not, then Dahl isn’t taking that deal with us when he can take the same deal with another team and actually start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I get that. I’m just way more comfortable with Eaton as our starting RF than Dahl. But I totally understand the concerns. If we were hypothetically only given two options for our starting RF, and the options were Dahl for $3M or Eaton for $7M, I’m taking Eaton without hesitation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two-Gun Pete Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Meh, I like the price tag more than the player on Dahl. Away from Coors field, he's very ordinary. And he's always injured. Going to a rebuilding, second division team like Detroit is exactly the sort of place he, Mazara, and Rodon need(ed) to go. The need(ed) to show that they can be healthy, and can play at this level. Unreliable and/or underperforming and/or oft injured players like Dahl/Mazara/Rodon have no business on a win now team. Rebuilding teams like Detroit can and do get bargains in FA when you're looking at talented, but in some way flawed FAs like these three.

That may be but then again it's always the case with injury prone guys or guys who put up inconsistent numbers. No one really wants a project now. They want a quality major leaguer . My guess is that less than half of the 30 teams have a higher payroll than last year . The Sox will be one of them but they aren't going to go hog wild. My 2nd guess is that the Sox will be among the top 5 teams either in the amount of money exceeding last years payroll or at least one of the highest by percentage of money exceeding last years payroll.

He really wasn't going to get more than that. His projected arb. number was slightly less than $3M and he supposedly was still recovering from surgery on his throwing shoulder to clean up and repair a bunch of stuff they found wrong in there. This is what I suggested in the closed Off Season Targets thread: So perhaps a 2 year contact for $6-7M but incentives giving him a chance to earn $1M more in 2021 and $3M more in 2022 plus team options for a 3rd and 4th year with a higher pay scale or buyout . It's a better offer than the Texas one and with the 2nd year and incentives I put in it . But Dahl had that shoulder surgery and he may be more suited to LF now.
