He’s definitely at an age where roger Clemens like maintenance may be needed, yet if you want to disagree, feel free. I’ll take max scherzer in the playoffs

Well he had to back out of the playoffs because of dead arm

I mean pretty clear Cohen is loving this and blabbing to the NY writers who are breathlessly repeating the gospel. That said, sucks we aren’t in on him. There is no other pitcher in the world like Max Scherzer in the playoffs right now. Well, I guess braves have 2 of em (3?)

True, they are a well-run franchise.

Is kershaw much better than Greinke right now?

That would be $190 to $200 million.

But that’s rad, right? That should help us fit the chart!

The dodgers traded and gave an extension to a player.

And that’s free agency? Thats not free agency

Mmmk, how much of the dodgers salary has been retaining their own talent rather than acquiring the shiny toy? Sox payroll is going to continue to get bigger year by year just by existing, so we should be great on your cool chart. Lynn was payroll. Arb and extensions are payroll. You should definitely root for the Mets though, that’s gonna be a beautiful dot on there.

Get a grip.

Says nothing about spending on top free agents. Take a break, pal.

Already gonna go back on this. would like then either to go with an Uber versatility group: Taylor, Brad Miller, re-sign Leury, trade for those LAD babes with Kimbrel, and sign a bigger SP. Or: get me my big boy, trade for Segura, re-sign Leury, sign Jon gray or Happ. Or: do something else

Every big boy has his price

I am pro worrying more about AAV and not acting like longer deals are the worst thing you can deal with as a fan… However, love Marcus, but this FA class in particular felt like a bad fit for this team. I’d much rather splurge on a pitcher, which to me feel much easier to move.

I have convinced myself we will buy Schwarber but you are in the same ballpark. Sox seem to be aghast at dollars for all around players, while being thrilled at what you can get a one dimensional bat for. But - a truly excellent bat can help a lot. And some of what may be left at RF, 2B may be on the margin more expensive for less value over replacement. Basically get me a big fat wRC+

He did not. Another L

Find something you love like Bob nightengale loves tweeting the word fabulous

For those who wished for board freak outs, well merry Christmas, happy Chanukah

No idea. But for their fans perspective they thought they could do a straight up deal him for Matt Chapman lol

rut roh

Good news is with his injury history maybe it crushes them. Bad news is no player in the central, save Jose Ramirez maybe, single handedly turns their team from trash to great. He’s amazing.

Darn.

Also, yes goes without saying McNeil (and many of Mets position players) is a fantastic fit for Sox. LH, great contact, good at GB%, 130 wRC+ career vs Righties. And a positive defensive player at 2B. Please Mets, pay Baez 180 million ?

That’s good info, didn’t think about that
