“It was eventually reported that owner Jeffrey Loria negotiated the deal
without consulting former president of baseball operations Jeffrey
Loria.”
And people wonder why the marlins make the decisions they do.
Steve Adams
Heh. Thanks for that. Obviously meant Larry Beinfest.

As bad as that Ellsbury contract looks I’d rather have that then Choo’s.
DarthMurph
Have you finally given up saying that the Sox made a huge mistake letting Ellsbury go?
Scott Berlin
No I haven’t and I won’t until Betts proves me wrong. JBJ and Sizemore have proved me right.
DarthMurph
No they didn’t because Ellsbury isn’t the same player anymore and that contract would have prevented the Sox from signing Castillo. The Sox are planning for the future instead of living in the past with an aging speedster on a terrible deal.
Scott Berlin
We’ll he has 15 homers so far this year, it might a far cry from his best season but it’s still his 2nd best power output in his career.
DarthMurph
Oh boy, one silver lining! He isn’t worth the money and that doesn’t look like it’ll change. In FA, you overpay for the first half assuming there’ll regression during the second half. There was plenty of regression in year one and that shouldn’t be surprising to anyone.
The Sox made a great choice letting him go and there’s no denying that regardless of what happened this year. We wouldn’t be a playoff team with him instead of JBJ. Castillo doesn’t need to be the next Ellsbury for that to still be the case.
Scott Berlin
Let’s see what kind of player Castillo is first since he’s the future.

Are players claimed from DFA’s in September ineligible for postseason rosters too?
Stuart Brown
While it’s not much, Carpenter pitched 13.2 additional innings in the 2012 postseason, good for a total of 30.2 innings on that contract before injuries caused him to sit out 2013 and eventually retire.

I don’t see it happening in September, but I hope the Yankees extend David Robertson.

I could see it happening, but I don’t think the Yankees should. Not with Betances waiting in the wings to close.
