August 28, 20205 yr Author 1. I dont think you can trade int money so I'm confused. The period already ended. 2. The sox traded for dyson to run bases in the playoffs.

Probably a better use of a roster spot than Luis Gonzalez. But hopefully we didn't just trade away dollars we could use for Colas/Cespedes.
August 28, 20205 yr At least that is what was reported two months ago... https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/2020-21-mlb-international-bonus-pools/

If we really are trading those dollars away, it means we didn't use them. Either we didn't win the derby or we didn't need the dollars.
August 28, 20205 yr They either know they are not getting colas or Cespedes so they are spending there into money for somebody that runs bases although with Anderson and Robert on the team I see little fit for a guy who can’t swing a bat. This is super surprising.

You 100% cannot trade dollars for next period or the one following. They had to have traded dollars from the current period that I thought was already over.

August 28, 20205 yr It seems to be current period $, which is fine I guess. If they ain't using it might as well get the fastest OF in the majors or whatever. Edited August 28, 20205 yr by Sleepy Harold

August 28, 20205 yr Reiterating what everyone else said. How can the Sox have high hopes to sign International Free Agents and keep trading away space. Don’t get it.
August 28, 20205 yr 1 minute ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said: You 100% cannot trade dollars for next period or the one following. They had to have traded dollars from the current period that I thought was already over. Maybe with the extension of the next signing period to Jan 15, this period is being extended? I am stabbing in the dark here.
