In his story this morning about the Dodgers needing to go for Cole or Betts, Rosenthal mentions [according to multiple sources] the Sox are trying to dump a high priced starter. He doesn't go on to say what that path would lead to this winter.

Also, when last heard, the decision was sent to The Secretary of Defense' office. That's Michael Shanahan not the Secretary of Navy, Spencer, who was recently fired.

He was a Super 2, thus 4 years of arbitration. He will only have 5 years, 130 days of service time next offseason.

I don't see how given our pitching situation it makes sense to trade him. He's under contract for 9.5M in 2020 and a 4th arbitration year in 2021. He probably has similar trade value as Betts and Benintendi do right now. Under normal circumstances I'd have no problem going 5/90 and seeing if he would take the security (he's said he's open to an extension), but that would completely balloon his AAV and that's an issue at the moment.

Joel Sherman was on MLBN today and was talking about the best fit being Betts for Alex Verdugo and Keibert Ruiz.

I don't know how one can judge horizontal break from offset camera angles.

What a shame if Betts can't be signed because of a failure to address the payroll problems. I don't get why it's so hard for people to understand that this is not the case. The Red Sox will gladly give Betts the second highest contract in baseball history, he won't accept it, it seems like they won't risk losing him for a 4th round pick. Trading players and making the payroll smaller is not going to increase their offer to Betts.

If he opts in his no-trade list is 3 teams.

Sure, but then the cost to a team is money + high draft pick(s) + international bonus money and who know how many teams that knocks out.

If JDM doesn’t opt out, then it will be interesting to see if a trade market emerges. As great as he is as a hitter, it seems the organization wants to be more financially efficient, and that probably doesn’t include paying a DH (not named David Ortiz) this much. I hate the idea of losing JD, but it would be much better if he opted in and was traded than if he just opted out. It would clear an additional $6M pending the return.
Unfortunately if he opts out the Sox only shed $16M and he will still count $6M towards the CBT calculation next year.

I presume O'Halloran will continue doing what he has done under all his previous titles, mostly contract work. He's been here 4 years longer than Romero.

The International League would grow to 20 teams as they want to make things more regional. Seems like the Spinners could be affected the most, but it seems like they are in a good spot geographically.

Definitely some false pitch classifications going on in Arizona.
Chatham: ground outs at 87 mph exit velo, 79, and 79, he also popped out. Duran with a 83 mph fly out.

Alex Gordon and Jose Iglesias were in the top 3 of that clutch stat this year.
The clutch stat compares what you do in 50 at bats vs. what you do in the other 650, so if you are a dominant hitter, if you are only very good in clutch situations you're getting a negative value. It's a comparison against yourself, not against the league.
In 2018 JDM hit .447/.551/.737 in high leverage situations. The year before .333/.393/.708.

Talks about how the Sox are big game GM hunting but that doesn't seem likely. Maybe the Arizona underlings. Cherington is respected in the game by his peers and they didn't care for the handling of how he was replaced. Many of those peers have young families and don't see it as a stable job in Boston.
Goes on to talk about how one executive brought up the idea of trading Betts, Benintendi and Bogaerts before Bogaerts' no-trade kicks in next year. Paraphrasing, talks about how even if ownership okays some type of reboot the candidates don't think it will actually be acceptable.
