  1. I mostly agree, but given we would get a comp pick back I’d be willing to give up Lopez + lesser prospects.
  2. I think trades for one-year controlled superstars are the hardest to value. He could provide significant surplus value next year alone despite a high salary, but most teams don’t like the idea of paying up for only one year of value. That being said, the acquiring team would also get a comp pick if he leaves, so that too must get reflected in the price. Usually it ends up being a trade that both sides feel uncomfortable with.
  3. Fuck it, at this point I say just do it, but I’d have to keep Dunning and replace him with a lesser prospect. May not be enough but I’m not giving up both Lopez & Dunning for a one year rental.
  4. If we’re making a trade, I’d go after Gray or Marquez with the Rockies.
  5. FYI...Walker is a free agent. I worry we go out and use of few trade assets for Gonzalez.
  6. Lol...we should call you Parkman Jr with all your pessimism. The Sox didn’t sign Grandal and then offer 5/$125M to Wheeler only to turn around and sign no one. I’d happily take your money if there was an actual way to collect my winnings.
  7. I will guarantee we either sign one of Ryu, Bumgarner, or Keuchel or we trade for a starter and then sign Castellanos. We will definitely sign at least one back end guy like Wood or Gonzalez too.
  8. He’s more believable after ripping the Fake Steve Chiskek account.
  9. ? That’s why I was telling you ?‍♂️
  10. That really sucks...thanks for sharing Jimmy.
  11. I just said they are a consideration, but I think these guys focus on gross dollars more often than not, especially when tax rates can change. Also, there is pressure from the union to take the largest gross offer.
  12. You honesty didn’t remember us trading Narvaez for Colome?
  13. I think taxes are a consideration in these things, but I think you guys are giving these guys too much credit. More often than not they’re making their decisions on gross dollars IMO.
  14. Sounds Narvaez to the Brewers. Will be interesting to see what they give up for him.
  15. Do you copy and paste this same paragraph over & over again?
  16. It will be interesting to see how the Sox pivot here. Sounds like the Bumgarner market is moving quickly now and the Sox probably weren’t very involved while pursuing Wheeler. They either need to hop on that wagon ASAP or talk to Boras about his lefties. There really aren’t any other free agent alternatives.
  17. He also said he didn’t think Wheeler would have been worth the money. I really don’t think he’s the spokesman and just offering his own opinion based on the limited info he’s privy to.
  18. We need average those first 40 games.
  19. The Mets have zero money to work with, so them letting him walk doesn’t really mean anything.
