Free-agent RHP Nathan Eovaldi in agreement with #RedSox, pending physical, sources tell The Athletic.
He is such a key piece. The excitement is so justified. Let's do it.If it's actually 4/68, I am very pleased.
Screw it. Let's go back-to-back.
how much money could they really unload on that?I have a feeling Porcello may be on the move. They are getting really close to the 246 level and still have a thin pen.
There's a market for him at 1/20. Maybe just prospects, maybe less expensive reliever(s). But they don;t need to pay part of the freight to move him.how much money could they really unload on that?
As long as they're not asking for a premium prospect in return, I think they could find a taker for the whole deal. 1/21M (but only a 20M hit on the luxury tax count) is in no way an unmovable deal, especially for a guy who consistently throws 180+ innings each year.how much money could they really unload on that?
The risky devil you know is better than the one you don't.I figured he'd get 3/$50MM ($16.7MM AAV), but it looks like he earned himself an extra year and a few bucks with the remainder of his postseason. I really don't mind the extra year if it means not missing out on the three.
A lot of risk here, but I love his upside (and his actual results in 2018 with the Sox).
Kelly is the only other name on my wish list. If they got him, I'd take a nap until spring.This is fantastic. And sue me, I want Joe Kelly back too. I tend to doubt that I will get my wish, but a man can dream.
I wonder whether this signals that the Sox will not be super aggressive on keeping Sale after his current deal expires.
I figured he could have gotten something close to this in bidding war. This seems like a fair deal on both sides.I expected 4/$80, I'm pleased.
I could see a few select teams interested. He's a good fit for San Francisco, where his home run tendencies would be kept in check and he'd stabilize a rotation destroyed by injuries to Cueto and Samardzija, but I can't tell if they're trying this year. The Angels have already put their chips in and could use him for the year Ohtani is on the shelf. Oakland has a big park and needs innings. And who knows what Brodie wants to do.There's a market for him at 1/20. Maybe just prospects, maybe less expensive reliever(s). But they don;t need to pay part of the freight to move him.
This. DD is an execution machine. He knows what he wants and gets things done. Very happy to have the Yankee slayer back for his 29-32 years, he has brass b***s.Dave Dombrowski does not screw around. Very happy with this deal.
