Yeah so I think I view Keuchel/Miley as one of the better ways out.

Love Gammons perspective on how the rest of the league should do what red sox want.

It seemed like in the last year teams really soured on the rule 5 and were turning against picking a guy unless they felt confident he could contribute, but I don't have a finger on how this would affect things with 26th man. Will teams be more likely to use it? Less?

I hope Nats get him.

That would be impressive because he retired

They don't believe in players being able to define their value so they'll never win with Boras.

This mets stuff is weird. Sign Porcello for $10mil so you can trade Lowrie for $9 mill by attaching a pitcher... uh ok

We spent 3.5 million to watch Ervin Santana get shelled for 3 starts but yeah

Where are we now. Have they beaten me into submission where I’d be excited for Keuchel and Miley, and join all the other fans attached to Hahns underbelly.

Its here is where I wish player comp picks could be traded. I’d take Lowrie for a comp pick.

Maybe we could make a deal where we don’t try to void his deal with MLb if he agrees not to try and come back.

It’s not worth it you know what’s coming next.

well that’s something

Gotcha. Yeah but part of it is valuing this year, the other part is no guarantee they make it to FA.

I’m actually not even sure. Miley probably. Ozuna isn’t Boras.

No, just saying when they negotiate they focus exclusively on their competition and give no credence to what player may value themselves at. It was important for Rendon to hit being the highest paid 3b by AAV and it clearly wiped out competition but it got the guy.

Only if they are a certain quality level. But no OF option this year was as well rounded as Rendon (or good offensively). Obviously I’d have signed stras or Cole but when they were off this still was the most affordable and best use of money.

This is also why I’m pretty confident 10 for 360 gets Betts. These symbolic milestones matter but Sox just want to play footsie with next best offer constantly.

And it will be a fight to get him.

And it’s done. 7 for 245. ?

definitely not attainable for a team with only an 86 million payroll

Yeah I typed that too fast.

Lol it’s hilarious. The idea that one of the best bats in baseball who is good defensively will make the team not significantly better.

What Hahn believes they can do is not a good source for what they will do.

Yes this.
