Hayward choosing Charlotte is the shocker. The other teams that were linked to him at least has tried to win.

The problem with the Hayward trade to the Pacers is to find a second piece both teams would agree on. If the Pacers insist on Hayward + 14, then I would want Warren which the Pacers probably would not do. At this point, the Holliday trade which is doubtful is the more likely trade.

How does David Price not playing this year affect the financial terms of the trade? Does Boston now have more room under the thresholds?

I wonder why the team is more adamant about keeping Cora away than the fans.
The punishment seems worse than the announced offenses. Do you believe that the agreement was for the Red Sox to accept the punishment and the Commissioner would not reveal the offenses that may more implicate the team or players.

I wonder if JBJ is in the mix for this trade. Margot was just traded by the Padres so CF may be a spot that the Padres are looking to fill.

I wonder how the Hall of Fame voters eventually view the Astros and Red Sox hitters.

While I respect Cora, it was appropriate that he was fired. I also respect Dombrowski but do not know how he has avoided criticism having been the leader while there has been two cheating issues with 2 different managers under his watch.

I hope that the opener is not a significant discussion this offseason. However, I also hope that it is not limited as it allows low revenue teams to compete and use its roster to its best.

Joel Sherman suggests a Betts for Thor trade. He calls it a possible pipe dream. Would you do this?https://www.google.com/amp/s/nypost.com/2019/11/07/mets-center-field-fixes-mookie-betts-pipedream-to-a-cheaper-red-sox-trade/amp/

Is losing a Benintendi and Price worse than the Nationals losing Harper?

This statement seems to suggest that ownership mandate is better use of payroll rather than any firm number:
While the team has been public about its intent to get under the luxury tax, Red Sox president Sam Kennedy told The Boston Globe, on Tuesday that getting under $208 million in payroll isn't a "hard-and-fast mandate."

Julio Teheran's option was not picked up. He might be a good pickup to fill a spot in the Red Sox rotation if a pitcher is traded.

Just saw that Dwight Evans will be up in December for the Hall as part of the Modern Baseball Era committee. Hopefully, it is his time to get in.

I haven't really heard about the status of Pedroia. Does he look like he is getting healthy or is he done?

The move is surprising. However, once the move was decided then the timing makes sense as it provides the time to properly evaluate the organization. I liked the idea when DD was hired to bring in someone from outside the organization as a front office consultant. I wonder if they are going to do so and who it would be.

The Yankees, Red Sox, and Dodgers combined to acquire Jedd Gyorko. Those are not names that will alter the race.
The Indians, Astros, and Braves the major moves.
The Rays made minor moves.

How did the sign-and-trade go from being something no longer done to having about 6 in the first day?

The Baynes trade is not final. Could you see that being altered into a three way trade to include the Rockets and Capela? The Rockets can then use a pick from that trade to complete the Butler trade.

Kemba (as a 2 time sportsmanship award winner) also fits into the mold of good players and good guys.

With Beltran an influential voice with the Yankees, I wonder what their take on Lugo is.
