redsoxsuck05 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Technically Stanton at like $200M in his 28-37 years is a bargain but if that stopped us from signing Bryce I would be sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was that because A-Rod offered to lower his contract for the Sox to take him on? It was the latter if I remember right. I think it was actually an issue with the player's union and MLB.

redsoxsuck05 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I'd at least give them Frazier because it would feel bad straight up exploiting their financial duress. I mean Soriano for A-Rod plus salary relief was like that too, but at least Sori was a 26 year old All Star in his own right. IIRC he revealed he was actually 28 years old after the deal lol.

If I'm not mistaken, the Rangers could have made out much better and just misfired. I believe that they had their choice of several prospects, one of whom was Cano, I think. They chose someone else.

Neither were particularly valuable at that point and were more like throw-ins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltarich87 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Boy do the Marlins come out of this as fools. Entire point of them shopping Stanton was to get financial relief and instead they're gonna be forced to take on a bad contract or 2....all the while not getting any top tier prospects back.

He's usually been pretty reliable, but for some reason, with regards to this whole situation, he's been wrong a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forge Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 This makes me giggle if it is in fact true. I can't imagine what kind of package they were giving out at that point, but I have to assume that Schulman is wrong. Otherwise, wow, the Yankees aren't going to have to give up anything lol.

JammerHammer21 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 YOU GET A DONG YOU GET A DONG EVERYBODY GETS A DOOOOOOONG Really curious to know who's in this deal if it gets done. Clint Frazier would make a lot of sense, but if he isn't? They have to do something with him at that point. And Denbo obviously knows the system inside-out.
