For luxury tax purposes, a trade of David Price for Wil Myers saves the Red Sox $17+ million annually for three years while the Padres would add $9.5 million annually in real dollars.

One could argue Price is worth $9.5M a year and Myers is worth -$17M a year.

Sounds like an even trade.

Piggy backing on the topic .Wouldnt price be ideal fallback for Angels ? They may even take on the contract .

It does work for both sides and has been discussed in a few threads on this board.

Or maybe the Sox could deal Price to Seattle for Dee Gordon...

Wouldn’t Bumgarner be a better fallback?

I don’t know .Madison likes to hit he’s a NL guy in my opinion but who knows ?

I'm hoping we don't have to contribute more than 5m per year of Price's salary. Thinking 25m sounds reasonable for a top of the rotation pitcher in today's market? But more likely we'll have to kick in 10m per year to move him along.

The Red Sox have made no progress in their trade discussions involving David Price, according to this tweet from Ken Rosenthal:

You’re thinking of Buster Olney. Rosenthal is actually very good.

As much as I want something to happen, I don’t mind Bloom not leaping at first offers. In fact, it would have been stupid to deal Price before Cole signed...

He may have a slight potential to return to "top of rotation" status, but he is not there now.

[OH FOY!]

Wonder how much Cole's value drops after 4 season's. Go form 31 a year to 18, for Price. Price was 29 when he signed and turned 30 for us too. Cole same thing.

Price for 3 years at 18 per looks pretty reasonably priced right about now.
