Forget Stanton, I want Altuve.
Stanton may be had, but you'll have to eat the entire contract and give up some talent. If you take on Stanton, you can kiss Sale and Kimbrel goodbye when they hit FA
I think the best approach is to wait til he opts out, but I don't know if we have the flexibility to sign him. I'm not into taking on the contract as it stands AND giving up talent. This postseason disaster has shown we need to keep as much talent as we can.
There is ZERO chance he opts out. 10 years $295 mil is a GIGANTIC contract.
I don't see how the Red Sox can acquire Stanton--Dombrowski already traded away too many of their promising prospects. The Marlins aren't going to want Bogaerts--he is too close to free agency and is coming off a down season.
The Houston series is making it abundantly clear that the Sox are not competitive with the best teams. Our offense looks very weak and our pitching, one of our expected strengths, is not performing in general. Getting swept two years in a row is humiliating and begs the question are we willing to do the things needed to upgrade the club. By that, I mean management and coaching changes and cutting loose underperforming players? Those discussions will likely start soon.
The Houston series shows me that we are not healthy and beat up beyond belief.
