Speaking of MIcker, kind of surprised he wasn't in this deal.

They shouldn't have been, but they are sure acting like it.

Except somewhere around $30 million of that is taken up in contract raises and Arb raises.

For the same type of contract, I am calling up Corey Kluber.

This is great Rick Hahn speak right here. "Rick, reporters are saying your boss is cheap and unwilling to spend for top end talent, how do you respond to that?" "Well Jerry has a spending model that fits this move."

Of course its Avery Weems. We have now come full circle.

Every single move like this reduces the margin of error is the big problem.

Really curious where on the scale the last piece of this deal falls.

It's such a waste of capital.

You mean trade more prospect capital for?

This. No sane person can miss how good Lynn is. But the Sox best seasons are still 2 to 5 years down the road with this core.

I guess we are into the portion where we start taking years off the back end because they are scared to spend.

The problem is by this time next year we will have neither Dunning nor Lynn.

Well the good news is that means this is dead.

So out of Cease, Kopech, and Dunning the Sox were willing to move Dane. I hate giving up 6 years of Dunning and only getting a year back, but it seems like they must believe in Cease and Kopech to keep them instead.

Wait what? Any screen caps, or is this a funny?

If we add 30 million in annual payroll from one deal, I would be shocked if do much else other than round out the pen, bring in a low end starter, and a back up catcher. That's probably another 10 million there if we keep it conservative and don't chase the higher end relievers.

It's not the original post. You must not have read the whole thread.

Darvish alone is a 20mil per year pitcher.

We are pissing away our payroll flexibility and giving away a mid rotation starter to do it. We could sign Bauer and Peterson for the same dollars and keep Dunning.

Yep, this is exactly the deal of nightmares.

He also perfectly fits the grinder thing our manager loves to see out of others.

More threads for people to complain about insiders in.

Considering he was already trying to buy a vaccination early on, I kind of doubt it. No other reason to pass on capacity.

Probably because the President was shopping for a better personal deal, so he didn't want to make a big commitment until he found that offer.
