Yep. They owe him another $41 million.

Re: Josh Donaldson & Only Being Mostly Stupid
I think the world of Dave Dombrowski for all of his early work in Montreal, then Florida, and even reviving the Tigers. If you were making a list of best GMs in history, he'd be somewhere in your top 20, maybe even top 10. These guys, who wrote an awesome book about front office evolution and the best at their craft, had him at #9.Farewell Friends wrote:I never thought about this way. It sounds like they're going to give $350 million to Martinez and Hosmer.JL21 wrote:Also funny: the Red Sox pre-emptively cutting themselves out of the Harper/Machado sweepstakes next year and making it harder to extend their key young players.
But his last 5-10 years have been... dubious.

Re: Josh Donaldson & Only Being Mostly Stupid
I love JD Martinez and it makes sense for the Red Sox, but a Hosmer signing would be unnecessary. Why not sign Logan Morrison instead?

USA Today's Bob Nightengale reports that the Cardinals have been pursuing Josh Donaldson "much stronger" than Manny Machado.
Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic has also reported previously that Cards "keep pushing" for Donaldson even though the Blue Jays haven't shown much of a desire to trade him. Nightengale notes that part of St. Louis' apparent preference for Donaldson over Machado is that they think they'd have a much better chance to sign the former to a long-term extension. Both third basemen are set for free agency after the 2018 campaign.

Re: Josh Donaldson & Only Being Mostly Stupid
Could we get him without giving up Flaherty, Weaver or Reyes? Seems unlikely.

Re: Josh Donaldson & Only Being Mostly Stupid
I don't think the Jays are pursuing pitching, so perhaps. Right now they have a very terrible outfield.Tim wrote:Could we get him without giving up Flaherty, Weaver or Reyes? Seems unlikely.
