Shoot, I forgot to clarify a few things: I overshot Wheeler a bit to ensure they get him. Let's adjust to 5/110 Trade for Price would include cash to knock down his yearly contract. 36 million sounds realistic (and we may even need to add lopez or dunning +...so he would be $20 mil a year Price 20 mil Rendon 34 mil Wheeler 22 mil Grandal 20 mil Abreu 18 mil (1 season only) Benintendi 4.9 mil New Salary - 119 mil this season 101 mil 2021 40 mil of assumed salary for roster Losing Sanchez 6.9 mil Goins 900 K so about 160 mil for 2020 and 140 mil for 2021 (obviously will be adjusted with losses and additions)

This is my plan. I am thinking BIG Trade Madrigal and parts to Boston for Benitendi/Price Shift Moncada to 2nd Sign Anthony Rendon for 3rd base 7/240 ish deal Sign Wheeler to 5/120 deal Sign Grandal to 3/60 deal with a 4th year option Sign Abreu 1/18 qualifying Lineup- Cf Robert 2b Moncada 3B Rendon LF Eloy 1B ABREU (2021 tbr by Vaughn) C Grandal/Mcann/ Collins occasionally DH Collins/Grandal/ Eloy occasionally RF Benitendi SS Anderson Starters Gio, Wheeler, Price, Cease, Kopech/Lopez Rodon or Lopez is traded at deadline for Reliever and Utility bat Sanchez, goins are gone and Leury is Utility to start season No major bullpen upgrades, but sign highest upside lefty you can afford. This team competes immediately and outside of probably losing Moncada has a 3-4 year BIG run.
-
correct. Just not a MOR starter as was mentioned. that ship has sailed on him.
-
I go to some Braves games (live down the street from the stadium)...we want nothing to do with Teheran. He is Javy all over again...Had the stuff...never the head space...and now the stuff is fading fast. IF he is a cheap reclamation project as our #2 FA pitcher and a bridge until Rodon is back...that is fine. But no long term deals should be handed to this guy.
-
Taking him off third knocks his value down big time. He will find plenty of options at third
-
As mentioned...Alvarez wins this even if Eloy hit 295. The buzz for him was palpable. All good...Eloy has the better career.

Sox issue qualifying offer to Abreu
EloyJenkins replied to YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES!'s topic in Pale Hose Talk
Smart move. Avoiding a long term albastross, they can fast track Vaughn if he performs...Collins can get a fair shake of at bats this season...and if some crazy team signs him...they replace the pick Sox lose for signing one of Cole, Strasburg or Wheeler... -
Glad you are not a GM....holy crap those are awful contracts. Strasburg will be 32 next season, if he gets over 170 million on any contract it just isn't worth the cost. 8 year pitching contract is ludicrous
-
Realistically he gets 5/150 or 6/170...are Sox Willing to pay that?
-
Quintana option picked up. Another year of misery for Q on the Cubs
-
Boras Boner is so big right now he broke his laptop table working on the next binder.
-
I for one am happy about this result. Cole most definitely is a FA...and since Strasburg won dominantly...he will opt out. That makes a Wheeler acquisition more likely and that is a good thing for the Sox.
-
I will never understand why Cole didn't get the 7th and 8th innings in this game...
-
Seriously. What an embarrassment. Lucky that Rendon saved the moment. The announcing booth was deplorable though trying to defend it.
-
Cole and Strasburg and even potentially Wheeler and Bumgardner all are priced out potentially because the playoffs... Dodgers fans will call for a starter. Yankees once again fall short and will HAVE to overpay for an ace or #2. If Astros win WS....extra cash could resign Cole. If Nats win WS...extra cash could resign Strasburg. It's gonna be a tough competitive december-february.
-
His agent is Scott Boras...4 year deals....😂. Dude is getting 5-7 years at 30mil per minimum if he leads his team to world series win if his pitching stays as strong as it has been. I said it in another thread...In his first 6 post season starts, he has the 2nd best numbers EVER...only behind Koufax. Boras will make a 12 page binder about that alone.
-
This is the lineup for me if we dont sign a stud DH: 1. Madrigal 2. Robert 3. Moncada 4. Eloy 5. Abreu / Replaced by Vaughn in 2021 6. DH 7. Anderson 8. McCann (regression reasons) 9. RF FA - some semblence of Speed and contact. If we sign a Stud DH or Grandal...Madrigal moves to ninth and everyone shifts forward 1 and Grandal Moves behind Abreu
-
Man...Strasburg is getting more expensive every start now. He may compete with Cole for top 2 highest salaries. He has the 2nd best numbers for a starter other than Koufax for first 6 starts of postseason...
-
All we can hope is cole pitches terrible and Yankees sour a bit on him...😷
-
Cole now costs 230+ mil now after this series
-
I commute right past Braves stadium and the amount of people leaving by the fourth inning was obviously massive.

Rumor: Reinsdorf aims to build second place teams
EloyJenkins replied to Jack Parkman's topic in Pale Hose Talk
The timing on this article is unreal with the feud we were having with Ray Ray in another thread. Perception of cheapness is what I was saying...and boy does this article echo that. It may not be fully true, but if enough people believe it... -
I thought He was more in the 96-98 range when called up?
-
I dream of Cole ...but Boras will drag it out til March.
-
Woah. I knew he was ahead of schedule...but that is outstanding. It's not unheard of for post TJ velocity increases...can you imagine 98-100 being his normal FB velo going forward. Dang
