The Red Sox didn't want to pay Betts. Going to be one hell of a rebuild. Good luck selling fans on that.

this is false they offered betts 300 mil he countered with 420

No. Not at all. Gavin Lux is the most hyped Dodger prospect atm and he still has a lot of growing to do.

verdego is solid he was a top 50 prospect solid contact hitter with a strong arm :dahell:

300M is a low-ball offer when his peers are making similar. He is a better player than Bryce Harper. They refused to meet half way.

He’s not good enough to be traded for a top 5 OFer.

The difference is that top 5 outfielder has one year at 27 mil left on his contract, rejected a 300 mil extension and will be a free agent next winter and the Red Sox wanted to get under the cbt and they just shed 55-60 mil in payroll and got 5 years of a cost controlled player in the process.

300 mil is not a low ball offer. literally 4 players in all of mlb have bigger total contracts Cole(ridiculous desperate overpay),Stanton,Harper and trout
