This seems not good.

 

I mean if starting SS's are now a $300 million commodity in baseball, we might as well trade TA now, and I love the guy. 

Wow, this might actually be going down huh?  Appears he un-liked that tweet already FWIW

I mean, he's gotta be salivating at these deals.  And I can't blame him one bit.

TA liked a tweet insinuating that he’s going to leave the Sox at some point. But it’s worth mentioning that he did unlike it.

Tim "liked" that Tweet that says he'll be in another uniform one day.

He's a $250 to 300 million player if all of these other guys are.

TA going is real. Not saying its pending or anything, but it's a 100% a possibility. He's worn out his welcome.

Wow.  Its 100% a possibility, or its 100% happening?

Possibility based on his comment.

He  stated "its a 100% possibility" which I don't think is exactly what he meant, but could definitely be read that there is a 100% chance he's getting traded. But yeah, I was nit picking.

I guess we're gonna have to get used to Elvis Andrus at SS next year won't we?

If they trade TA, probably.

If you’re Boston, you’re 100% moving him to 2B in favor of Story at SS.

The last 2 guys to sign were at $280 and $300 million ($340 offered). Last year Turner was a 6.3 fWAR player and Bogaerts was 6.1. Tim Anderson's absolute best season so far in his career is 4.7 fWAR. Tim Anderson is clearly not on the same level as these players and this is a pretty substantial exaggeration of the value of a White Sox lpayer. 

Swanson is much more relevant to Anderson. Swanson has mostly been "slightly worse than Anderson" as he was similar to TA in the brief 2020, he was a 3.4 WAR player in 2021 - so that's slightly worse than Anderson, but then he dropped a 6.4 WAR season last year. If Timmy returned to a 4.5 WAR season next year and the year after, he would be hitting FA several years older than Swanson is, without the same peak as Swanson in the year before FA, but with more consistency.

If Tim remains a 3-4 WAR player the next 2 years, he may still get less than Swanson because of his age at the time of FA, but he may balance that out with more consistency. If he continues dropping off or has another major injury, then perhaps Swanson still outearns him.

If Tim wants to drop a 6 WAR season somewhere in there, then more power to him and we can just enjoy how good the season is.

Dodgers are more desperate they lost like 13 players in fa,must make moves and are on panic mode

With these contracts, Boston got an absolute bargain in Story last year. Even when he didn't play that well.

We can talk when he hits free agency.

Even if he has, that's the biggest middle finger to the fanbase possible after letting Abreu walk.

Now that Bogaerts went to SD, trade market has to be warming up. Correa is the next shoe to drop and we should be sitting pretty.

 

 

Lol imagine getting rid of Tim Anderson and Abreu in the same offseason. How stupid could this franchise get?
