Signing a STUD like Price and keeping our first round pick, AMAZING!
Dombrowski is a genius.

Literally has nothing to do with it.

genius? i mean its a really a simple move. price couldnt get a qualifying offer because he was traded mid season. very stupid system.

Dombrowski is a genius because Price wasn’t eligible for a QO, or Dombrowski is a genius because, before he was hired, the Red Sox tanked a little?
I think this entire system is absurd. I get the upside=down picks, but the protected pick idea is ludicrous, the QO system needs work, the competitive balance picks are just freebees.

Dombrowski is a genius because he traded Porcello before he did something stupid, like sign him to a 4/$80.5MM contract.

Genius for giving a pitcher $217 million, cool story.

How many World Series has he won? Spent 14 years with the deep pockets of the Tigers. Yes, he won one in 1997 with the Marlins after a flurry of trades, but had to blow it up the following season and came in last. Remember, he traded 3 pitchers to Seattle in 1989 for Mark Langston (one of whom was Randy Johnson).

We will see when prices elbow starts barking.

First and foremost, you’re an idiot. Price could not have gotten a QO. That’s not the only reason you’re an idiot but it’ll do for now. Second, they paid $217M for one guy who might possibly get them 3 or 4 extra wins. A better plan might have been to replace two or three of the losers in that rotation for that money and get 10 or 15 extra wins. Third, you’re still an idiot.

The QO system is broken. Just look at the case of Justin Upton. The Tigers only lost a 3rd round pick for signing him, but if the Mariners signed him they would have lost the #11 overall pick. That basically rewards teams for signing multiple free agents and serves almost as a hindrance to competitive balance. Teams should be compensated for losing a big free agent, of that I have no doubt, but do teams need to be punished for signing them? I am not going to claim I have all the answers by any means, but it seems to me that the system would work so much better if teams got compensatory picks without anyone losing picks. Sort of like the NFL Draft. Or at least not losing a pick for a team’s first QO signing, but losing your first pick after you sign your second QO free agent. They could also reward players by making the QO about 10% higher to avoid teams diluting the market with mid-range guys that shouldn’t have the tag attached like Dexter Fowler. Like I said, I’m not claiming to have all the right answers, but I do recognize that this system is not that good.

Well, the player’s union seems to fed up with the draft pick attached to their players. The next collective bargaining agreement is coming up, so I can see the system being changed again. We’ll see changed after the 2017 season. Hopefully, MLB fixes it.

totally agree – like with the giants it is a huge gamble now that they signed samardzija because even though they have been successful in bringing guys along – it seems like it is a constant struggle to build from the farm system that is always rated near last and more often than not guys need to be traded away to fill holes to keep the team afloat. this year they get to stay home and watch quite a bit of the draft before there are any phone calls made.. what ought to be is that you either get moved to the competitive balance round – or guys that get picks get moved up in the ranks rather than some teams just not getting picks at all.

Let’s hope prices arm falls off!!

The Padres have a really good opportunity to restock their farm this year. Hopefully Preller will make some smart choices.

White sox better not blow this!!!! They better find a hitter.
