FishFan95 750 Posted February 6, 2020 Author Share Posted February 6, 2020 Can we get Chen back and dump his salary? Marlins are still paying Chen so they can still trade his salary without having to actually get him back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Das Texan 150 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Congrats to the Dodgers finally acting like the LOS ANGELES Dodgers and making a real attempt to do more than just win games April-September. Even though this was as gift wrapped as can be to them. Congrats! Boston on the other hand are a fucking joke. Minnesota, I dont even know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

marlinsmaniac 465 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I’m as big a Red Sox fan as I am a marlins fan (I usually fly out to Fenway and catch a series or two each season) but Boston 100% had to do this for two reasons: they offered Mookie a large extension that he turnt down and made it clear that he will test free agency. So rather than get nothing or at best a comp pick that may never pan out, they got a very good major league talent. Second reason is they had to get rid of as much of the albatross that is Price’s contract ($32MIL for each of the next three fuckin seasons!!!). How do you know the ReD Sox won’t go blank check next offseason and sign Mookie because they were able to get most of price off the Books? Just like we’re seeing here, sometimes you have to take a step back in order to put yourself in position to jump forward. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Deal will get done, its an issue with that pitcher from the Twins, it will be figured out in short order, wont prevent this deal from happening. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bret Hart 47 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Dodgers get Betts, Price and 48M (half of Price's remaining salary) Red Sox get Verdugo, Downs and a catching prospect. Dodgers get Graterol and a prospect Twins get Maeda and cash -------------------- SS prospect Jeter Downs goes to Red Sox, lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SilverBullet 2,747 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 To Jeter Ups? Nah, it's Boston so he would just change it to Jetah Downs. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Das Texan 150 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Supposedly this was such a hold up because Boston was being a bunch of jackasses and trying to hold the Twins hostage from what I hear. Fuck the Red Sox for so many reasons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I mean to me its a product of that sytsem up there. Jackass ownership Jackass fans I hope they fail to win a World Series again now until the 2100s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
