Quote from Henry Silvestre on December 31, 2022, 8:44 amQuote from Jeremy Hill on December 31, 2022, 7:58 amSale has 2 years and 55m left on his contract. Even if they eat 20m the AAV is still 17.5m Pomeranz has an 8.5m AAV for the Padres. That deal would have us +9m and over the 273m threshold not under it.
The way I would structure it is they pay $20 of his $27 for 2023.. we pay the entire $27 for 24.. and then Pomz goes -$8.5 (thought Pomz was $10.. but ok still saves $1.5 so would be $7.5 under..) however of the deal can't be structured like this.. then Sox would have to cover the amount to keep us at least. at the current $6mil or so under...
It doesn't matter how the deal is structured. Luxury tax salary is calculated off of the average annual amount of the deal. Even if they took Pomeranz the Red Sox would have eat 39m for us to come out even.

Quote from fenn68 on December 31, 2022, 9:20 amI would not give any good prospect and take on any money to take a wild gamble on Sale.
His last really good season was 2018 (age 29) then in 2019 a 4.40 ERA … 2020 did not pitch … 2021 42 innings … 2022 6 innings … so a lottery type gamble that at age 33 he can even pitch 100 innings effectively. Plus then they are stuck with him (at big money) for 2024. Basically he is an expensive Drew Pomeranz.
I am guessing BOST sees the same and would love to move him (and his contract) to open payroll space to extend Devers and a few others. IF some team wanted BOST to eat most of the contract (does not help the Devers’ issue) they would have to really toss in some key prospects (not likely by any team). No upside for Boston to move Sale and pay most of his contract.
Padres are currently one of the best teams in MLB … 3rd highest payroll … $6MM under the next penalty level … makes no sense to add a high risk / high pay pitcher and give up needed future prospects. Just sign Cueto at a fraction of the price and keep the prospects. Note: don’t think they will even do that.
I think when all is said and done Pablo Lopez (or the like) will be the SP add... how and what else (3 team trade) it gets done without our top 4 prospects moving .. its up to AJP ....

Eric Hosmer rejects Yankees offer:
“I got too much Boston in me to go there,” Hosmer told WEEI Saturday evening. “This city was good to me while I was with the Red Sox, and to put on the pinstripes feels dirty. I told them no.” pic.twitter.com/18fbMeLYHJ

Jung Hoo Lee, the reigning KBO MVP and Kim's former teammate is going to be posted after the upcoming season.
#1568 · January 2, 2023, 6:57 am
Kim's good friend.. one Huge reason to keep HSK in SD... with CH Park in Exec position and Kim how can Lee say no to San Diego.. .342 career avg..KBO or not that's freaking impressive..
#1569 · January 2, 2023, 9:43 am
Not the same kind of player as Kim but should be an ideal #2 hitter (bats left) in an every day line-up. Kim was more power and speed but less on-base/contact in the KBO. Lee will have to overcome GB tendencies (Kim had more FB tendencies than GB) otherwise he could be another Hosmer, i.e., hard contact but right at infielders. Probably will be helped by new shift rules but doesn't have great speed to beat out infield hits or steal many bases. Less concerned about his ability to hit velocity because his swing doesn't look so uppercut pronounced as Kim's, however, still will need the lift to turn those grounders into line-drives. Don't see him as a big HR hitter, although seems to be getting stronger with maturity, but likely in that 15-20 HR range at his peak with solid defense in CF - kind of an upgraded version of Profar at his best with us. I'm guessing something like a consistent .275/.365/410 slash line but hoping for a higher SA as he reaches his peak years. 5 years, 60M? Signing would make up for loss/trade of Hassell but doesn't have Hassell's speed.
