Maybe they hold onto him for part of the season and put him on the market again by the trade deadline. With an extra year of control, their FO is betting that his value will be higher towards the deadline, while giving them the flexibility to see if they're contenders for the Playoffs.

DoleINGout Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I like these one year deals rather than long term commitments for the Sox. Thank you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You dont want BOS to try and keep Betts? 2020 is his last contract year. He's UFA next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm a Red Sox fan, I absolutely want the team to deal Betts. Whether it's in a package with Eovaldi or Price to dump payroll, or for the best prospect package I can get. Probably lean more towards dumping payroll. Betts has been clear about wanting to go to free agency and I dont see the Sox competing in that division.

I think they have a roster that can compete / get into the playoffs. 2019 was a year with compounding negative issues. Sounds like their new CEO (Bloom) has a mandate to pare down $$$ while remaining competitive and Betts would be a big piece to move. We'll see. Theres a reason a couple of TBRays executives are running things in LA and BOS. Talent evaluation & development at a good price with an elevated budget.

Hes 27, not 31. big difference 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t Boston try to offer him like a 8yr 200 mil last offseason(or 2 years ago?) if I remember correctly and he said no Edited January 11, 2020 by flyguy1609 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
