December 24, 20196 yr 17 minutes ago, Balta1701 said: No reason why we couldn't have signed him to a deal worth $11. He clearly loves New York. He's from there as @Soxnfins pointed out

December 24, 20196 yr Author Well looks like we might get some signings today prior to xmas day. That's cool. Maybe will get a surprise Castellanos signing.

December 25, 20196 yr https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/28366269/mets-reliever-dellin-betances-agree-one-year-deal One year, $10.5 million for Betances to Mets Wouldn’t have made sense to Sox without a club or incentives based option for 2021. Apparently he preferred to stay in NYC and keep his options open for the following season if he recaptures his form.
December 26, 20196 yr Are we going to have to hear whining about Tatis Jr. for the next decade? I try to pretend the Sox never signed him and SD did. It's been nearly 3.5 years from the trade, we can stop whining now. He's gone and isn't coming back. I support Quin's idea to change either Tatis or Tatis Jr. to Voldemort via filter.

Says the guy who just brought him up completely off topic and had nothing to do with the current conversation.

December 27, 20196 yr Author This would be interesting and I think a very DOABLE trade for both teams. However, a reply on that tweet brings up a good point - WHY does Atlanta have to send prospects back when Arenando is getting paid his market value?

Because there aren't just Nolan Arenado's laying around to go get.

However, a reply on that tweet brings up a good point - WHY does Atlanta have to send prospects back when Arenando is getting paid his market value? The Rockies are not dealing Arenado without getting a few legitimate pieces back in return. Also the Rockies would likely have to toss in $20 million or so to help balance out a deal. Tough to see him getting moved, I think Bryant is more likely.

You aren't getting prime Arenado as a salary dump lol.

December 28, 20196 yr Corey Dickerson is taking his talents to South Beach per Katy Perry. Two years $15M Jon Heyman. Edited December 28, 20196 yr by pcq
