How much money could the Sox actually "take on" before messing up the cap reset? The public doesn't know because we don't know the outcome of Price's money. I have heard they have to pay all, none, and most recently partial. Say they have to pay half, Sox would still be 16 million under 208. Since the season is half over that doubles, so they could eat someone's big problem.

He was 23 in Philly so that is where he was slotted in. I'm guessing he will rank considerably higher on all the lists based on league-wide opinion on him, which is sounding favorable across the board.

I think it was pretty noticeable that Gammons was shut out of the Dombrowski loop but he's been on top of Red Sox stuff going back to the Betts rumors and has had some scoops on all the new rules this summer. Who knows if this is right, but Callis threw out of the same hypothetical the day before, I doubt he's pulling that out of his ass.

I may have misspoke. According to this season's rules, only players on the 60 man roster are eligible to be traded. That eliminates prospects in the lower minors from consideration. Scouts should have a handle on those potential acquisitions on the 60 man. Players can be moved as PTBNLs or could easily be added to any 60 man roster (apparently soon to be 75 man roster).

Can we reset the tax if 60 games are played? Last I heard, we couldn't, but I havent been paying attention. Yes, the CBT gets prorated, so as long as they stay under and the season is completed, it's reset [as long as they don't go over, which they wouldn't]. If Price's money against the tax gets opened up, which is unclear right now, that would open a lot of possibilities to buy prospects this summer.

As of this evening, the Red Sox do not know how this affects the CBT calculations.

I've heard nothing but good things about Groome. He moved to Florida with his girlfriend right away after being drafted. Constant workout partner with Sale. Team was really impressed with how he transformed his body during his TJ rehab. Pretty sure his little brothers live with him.

Tigers and Reds have also said they will be bringing prospects, Tampa apparently indicated they would be bringing mostly depth. I would assume these differences are probably like 5 prospects and everyone still brings their best.

Since he drags his foot and doesn't take a second step it is a legal delivery and what Capps used when he returned.

Is anyone else concerned about his swing at all? I keep cringing when I see the back foot leave the dirt when he swings. One of the telltale signs elite power weight transfer, as seen with Harper, Moncada, etc.

One question, if they sign all these 5 players and still some slot money left. Can they use these slot money and sign undrafted guys over 20k? no

Wonder if this was a hint as to what to expect in round 5. You cut a deal for $3M in the 1st round, pencil in 150K in round 5, and you have just about $2M to play with between your 3rd and 4th rounders. Kind of like that distribution.

Unless the Sox do something wildly off-board, I don't really feel like I'll be disappointed with anything that has been mentioned as a possibility. I'll be fine with whichever college pitcher they like, or if they decide to go with one of the hyped prep arms. More intrigued with Hendrick than PCA, but I'd be fine with them or Hassell or even Soderstrom. Mitchell and Howard would probably be my least favorite path, but would obviously be fine with having them.
Someone I haven't seen mentioned as a possibility that I have a major crush on right now is Aaron Sabato. Also I'd be fine pulling the trigger on Garrett Crochet.
