December 26, 20223 yr Sale for Moncada and Kopech Who says no? (for this exercise, assume Sale isn't the one saying no) (sarcasm intended) Edited December 26, 20223 yr by Jack Parkman

December 28, 20223 yr 2 years $34 million with a vesting option and other performance incentives for Eovaldi.
December 28, 20223 yr Some of these teams are so dumb, actually spending money on depth. They clearly don’t trust their training staff.
December 28, 20223 yr Murphy gets $72m/6 years from ATL. Am I wrong, or does that make the Grandal deal seem bloated AF?

Exactly, Murphy is arb eligible for 3 years and will probably make $25 million for the next 3 years of arb. This is effectively a 3 year $50 million deal. Which isn't far off from what Grandal got.

December 28, 20223 yr Regardless holy hell has Atlanta been good at negotiations. Look at how they were able to lock up players vs Nats across the division. Yeesh.

Atlanta and White Sox both have an amazing culture of early contracts that give generational wealth opportunities...but definitely benefits the teams' financial ledgers. Braves difference is that they are much more aggressive in getting the talent in whatever avenue best fixes the roster (Trades, FA overspends, Farm risks), while the Sox are much more conservative in their pursuits and more about just getting "deals" with what they have for JR cost certainty
December 28, 20223 yr 28 minutes ago, Bob Sacamano said: The Red Sox do not look like a good team. So they've signed a couple of 2 year deals but nothing long term right? Looks like they're likely to be well under the tax so they avoid any multi-year penalties, they fill in holes and hope that Clevinger Kluber has a little left in him so that maybe they can make a run at the last wild card slot if things happen to go their way, but they avoid any multi-year deals that are likely to go bad in the end and their guys on short term deals are tradeable at the deadline to help them restock? Seems like a decent strategy to me if you're in the spot they were in - an older team, guys approaching FA, but not nearly enough depth to manage a legit contender.

Seems like a decent strategy to me if you're in the spot they were in - an older team, guys approaching FA, but not nearly enough depth to manage a legit contender. Letting Boegarts go for a draft pick wasn't good. JD Martinez gets you a lottery ticket at the deadline in 2022 wouldn't he? Looks like they have pissed off Devers. Trevor Story looks like a mistake. Verdugo looks mediocre. It isn't a good team, yet they spend cash on Jansen. It's reminding me of the 2009-2015 White Sox way. Edited December 28, 20223 yr by Dick Allen
