We don't have another 20M plus of payroll to play with

Exactly Unless you're going to trade Edwin And even then...

Cha cha

No I put zero stock in this

Seriously?!?!?!

Do the Red Sox really think they can afford to trade away a starter???

It just might be... Keep Bautista, Colabello, Smoak

Trade 4 Farrell

Suck it Farrell

Ortiz -> EE would be nice move by the Sox

NASHVILLE — The Red Sox likely will be keeping a close eye on Edwin Encarnacion news the next few months. According to multiple major league sources, Encarnacion will commit to becoming a free agent if no extension is worked out with the Blue Jays by the end of spring training. This is notable for the Red Sox since sources have suggested there would be significant mutual interest between the first baseman/designated hitter and the Sox if Encarnacion did become a free agent following the 2016 season. He was a favorite of Sox manager John Farrell when both were in Toronto. Encarnacion, who turns 33 in January, potentially could slide in to replace David Ortiz at the designated hitter position, depending on how Hanley Ramirez progresses at first base. The representatives for Encarnacion — who will make $10 million in 2016, the final year of what has become a four-year deal — will meet with the Blue Jays at the winter meetings over the next few days to discuss the slugger’s contract status. The Blue Jays are also facing the prospects of another one of their foundation players, Jose Bautista, hitting free agency after the ’16 season. Encarnacion has the ninth-best OPS (.912) in the major leagues over the past three seasons, with the third-most home runs (109). Last season, he hit 39 homers with a .929 OPS.

Snap!

Yeah. We have a couple more solid years with this core. I'll just enjoy it while it lasts.

Most striking thing looking atbthe table? This team is kinda old.

Goins projects as replacement level. Not a suprise either.

I'm tired of hearing about this Yes, he might have signed here if we'd beaten the Red Sox offer However, there was no way we were going to give him that and I'm glad we didn't Let's move on

SPORTSNET STAFF DECEMBER 6, 2015, 6:32 PM David Price‘s agent admits he’s surprised that the Toronto Blue Jays did not offer the free agent left-hander a contract and says his client was open to a return to the club. “The Blue Jays were the biggest surprise. David would have absolutely gone back there,” Bo McKinnis told Jim Bowden on SiriusXM Radio Sunday evening. “That was the toughest part of this and I’m surprised we did not get an offer. “He had a wonderful time there and the bulk of the club is back there and he would’ve enjoyed being with them.”

All good points above Hutch could be very good and if he is that's huge After spring training you make the best of what you have. That could be Hutch in the rotation and Chavez swing man from the pen. It could be Hutch in AAA. Truth is, Hutch will have a lot to prove in spring training. And I hope he kicks ass.

They've now seen money pour in when there's a playoff run though

I don't get it Beane doesn't make much sense anymore. He's all over the place.

Agree It's too late to get a deal on him now which sucks Everyone knows how good he is now

It's because of back to back World Series wins I'd say

Awesome
