Make a move for David Price?

Only way I move on Price is if the Red Sox are taking half of what he's owed.   IMO, if they are willing to do that then the Angels won't be the only team interested -- but that dude's elbow should scare the living shit out of Angels fans.

As a long time Angels fan I can't stand the Red Sox

It's hard for me to like a trade with them that helps them in any way.

Shredding payroll or getting any of our young prospects.

I'm not a fan of adding Price, even if the BoSux pick up a substantial portion of his remaining contract; one third at least. i'd rather the Halos pursue a trade with the Mets for Syndergaard even if it means trading one of the top three prospects for him. I don't believe New York has any intent in retaining Thor when he hits free agency. And the two clubs could actually be a fit. The Mutts are in desperate need of a true center-fielder and Marsh could fill that need.

The obvious stumbling blocks for such a deal are twofold. First, the Mets may not feel Marsh is big-league ready for 2020 and they'd probably be right. Second, Syndergaard has two years of control left. He doesn't become a free agent until after the 2021 season. So it's likely one significant prospect won't be enough to pry him away.

Still, I would much prefer Eppler pursue Syndergaard than Price.

Price’s durability is history.   His stats in 2019 were mediocre.    

Hard pass

I'm not a fan of getting Price, but he did have a 113 ERA+ and 10.7 K/9.

I think he'll be about that good for the remainder of his contract, but as you said, the biggest issue at this point is his durability.

I think for the money, and the risk, just go after Ryu. His durability sucks but at least he has the upside of a 1/2 starter. Price is basically Ryu's durability mixed with Keuchel's production.

I’m usually wrong about most things but I think I’d prefer Sale to Price, granted he’s healthy

Why?

He has the stuff to go head to head with the best. If you lose out on Ryu, David Price is still a good top of the rotation option for the next three years. He's still younger than Scherzer, Grienke, Verlander and his stuff plays out. 

This graph says it all:

That graph looks like the toilet paper after eating nothing but blueberries for a week.

Sale is already seeing Dr. Andrews this winter, so, NO.  Price is owed 96 million dollars over the next 3 years. 

The Sox could buy it down to 3/36, and I still wouldn't offer anyone inside the top 10, prospect wise.

With Teheran and Bundy you can go for a high risk high reward guy like Price, Ryu, etc. Have them eat half the contract or send a great prospect along.

The graph shows his 2012 season which was his age 26 season in which he won the Cy Young.  I mean if that's what you're comparing him to then you're screwed either way.  But....

In 2015, his velocity was lower than 2012, and yet that was the best season of his career.  Still there does seem to be a direct correlation between Price throwing 95 and Price throwing 93.  At 95, he's an ace.  At 93, he's a #3/4 starter.

So what’s the price for Price again?

[floplag]

This was a bad idea then, its an ever worse one now.
At this point honestly id ratehr go out and see where Taijan Walkers health is than kill whatev er payroll flexibility we might have left.|
Literally the only way i take Price at this point is if it also gets us Betts and they pay down a bunch of the money, which isnt likely to happen

[GregAlso]

If Price’s contract is paid down to around $20-$22 million per year then I think it is worth it. Not a lot different then signing Ryu would’ve been.

1.  Trade Upton for Price - AAV gain ~10mil/yr

2.  Re-sign old friend Calhoun to a 1/10 deal (4mil cheaper than option) to cover for Upton's absence and buy Adell/Marsh some developmental time

3.  Sign Castro to a 2/10

Lineup:  1B LaStella, CF Trout, DH Ohtani, 3B Rendon, RF Calhoun, LF Goodwin, SS Simba, C Castro, 2B Fletcher.  Once Adell is ready, replace Goodwin with Adell in that order.  Next year, both Adell and Marsh can be penciled in to that lineup.

Rotation:  Price, Ohtani, Heaney, Bundy, Teheran, Canning

 

[Stradling]

I’d take Price at around $20 million a season and if the prospects going the other way are limited.
