2019 31 yrs $16,000,000 $5M paid by St. Louis Cardinals 2020 32 yrs $15,000,000 $4M paid by St. Louis Cardinals 2021 33 yrs $18M Mutual Option, $5M Buyout
Not sure how much $$$ DD has to work with or how much Leake is still owed this year.
I think Leake fits in nicely as #5 this year (and next year as Porcello's replacement)
Seattle takes on Nunez & the rest of his contract + Dalbec for Mike Leake might work.

There are no untouchables (including Chavis). Yes, that is stipulated un the lead post. OK then Well if it's me, the one I have to be overwhelmed for is Mata. Everybody else is a available to help the team reach & win the World Series this year. And its like that every year.

I know you've all been waiting on my thoughts since his arrival in Portland so here goes;
He's fast.
That's it. Every other aspect of his game needs development. After seeing about 40 ABs, speed is the only aspect of his game that I see playing up in the Majors. He's getting a lot of hype so it'll be interesting to see where he is a year from now. He is nowhere close to where Mookie or JBJ were when the arrived in Portland.

Nice to see Jhon Nunez make into the top 60. I think he has done everything you hope a player does from one year to the next & has really developed over the past year both offensively & defensively. He is an interesting under the radar prospect. I hope they hang on to him. I think he could develope into a serviceable MLB Catcher. If I was a GM of a team looking to make a trade with the Red Sox I'd try to get him added in (along with Shugart).

Eovaldi not coming back until sometime in August right? Until then it's the status quo right? DD really blew it here.

I'm revising my trade proposal;
If in 15 days the Sox are serious contenders for a wild card;
Casas & Duran for Bumgarner, Smith & Watson

Because of DD's failure to make a trade for bullpen help 30 days ago they have no choice but to stick with who they have & see how they do over the next 15 games. If they can go at minimum 10 & 5 then you look & see where you are in the standings relative to the wild card vs Tampa Bay. If its promising, you make a deal. Weather that's for a SP or RP or both remains to be determined over the next 2 weeks as well. But DD needs to do his work & be ready to deal by/on the 21st. If they can't go a minimum of 10 & 5 there will be no deal to be made, just ride out the season with who they have & hope for the best (no sell off, not Pearce, Moreland, Nunez, Holt, Porcello, JD, Mookie, JBJ or anyone else). I'm hoping they go 15 & 0 & on the 21st they trade for Bumgarner & Smith.

What's the ceiling for Mata? If he is a back-end starter 4/5 at a ceiling, why have him so high? I am not arguing. Is the farm that bad that a a guy at least two more years away who has a ceiling of a 4/5 is about 2nd -4th best prospect? Yes

Chavis Casas Duran

Unfortunately for the Red Sox Dombrowski has let the time to make a trade for Relief Pitching pass. That decision (to help the team) needed to be acted on 3 weeks ago. Nothing to do now but stay the course with the roster the way it is currently constructed & hope for player improvement to make a run at a wild card spot (hopefully further). And that is exactly what I expect Dombrowski to do. I'll be shocked if he trades for or trades away anybody. That makes little sense to me. They have until 7/31 to upgrade the pen and I expect they will. What does 3 weeks ago have to do with anything? Even if he had gotten somebody 3 weeks ago, they'd still be well behind the Yankees. The division race is probably over but the Wild Card race has just begun . He's not going to let the Red Sox fail to make the playoffs because he didn't improve a problem area.He already has.

Who is coming off the 40 man roster to get him back on it? Josh Smith? Move Eovaldi to 60 day? Bye bye Thornburg? Oscar Hernandez? A trade?

E. Rod, Nunez & Casas for Madison Bumgarner & Will Smith No thank you. Bumgarner and Smith would be great, but there's no way the Giants want Nunez. And really, you need to think ahead. Bumgarner would be there for what, two months? And then he's gone. The Red Sox are going to lose Porcello after the season most likely, so if you lose E-Rod and Bumgarner isn't coming back then what does your rotation look like? Sale, Price, Eovaldi, and ?? It's not like they have starting pitching prospects you can comfortably pencil into the rotation. And not only do you dig yourself a big hole for 2020 and beyond, trading Casas for a rental would be monumentally stupid. There is little reason to think that Tristan Casas, in time, won't be a middle of the order monster. Why the hell would you want to deal that away? I would pass on that trade every day of the week and twice on Sunday. I'm thankful you don't work in the Red Sox F.O. They'd be challenging the Orioles for the basement. Ditto, you'd never let the team challenge for a title

I mean, a number 4 starter isn't garbage? Pretty valuable piece still. The poster never implied he was garbage. That's right. I never implied he was garbage & if someone reads that into it, it's because of their own bias. I simply asked if he would ever become more then what he is, a #4 or #5 starter. He certainly doesn't pass the "eye test" as a borderline #2 or a #3 no matter what stats can be produced. I do think he is a perfect candidate to be traded in some kind of package to upgrade the team in some way to make another run at a title though. Who that would be for and who would have to be included going both ways remains to be seen.

This team needs a MAJOR shakeup to wake it up. The kind that puts players on notice. A trade or demotion of a player who is underperforming that was/is considered a core piece of the team (and no, for all you haters of me, I'm not talking about JBJ specifically). A message needs to be sent to the players & that message is "start performing or we will find someone else for your job"

I think the Bullpen could use some help & I mean right now not at the trade deadline. So;
Francisco Liriano - Pittsburgh. 35 yr old LHP having a good year & very inexpensive salary.
Chatham & Dalbec for Liriano

So once you get to AA, you can be called up at any moment. When is he replacing JBJ? (I'll beat dmaineah to it) I'm sure dmaineah has Duran penciled into tomorrow's lineup in CF against the Royals. I haven't seen him play yet. But once I've seen him for a bit I'll let you know if he's a Major Leaguer or not. You all seem to be real interested in my opinion. Must be because deep down you know I'm right.
