Yankees sign David Hernandez

[OH FOY]

Everybody thinks the Sox can outbid everybody, in 2 years I see at least 3 teams who will have ton of Cap Space, and are big spenders.

This is 2021 at the moment.

This is only 19 players on it.

Can you imagine Mookie with Trout.

I 100% trade Mookie this offseason for the reset. i am very confident he will go to FA (not sign extension with the team traded to) and we can outbid everyone if we want him back.

the Slasher plan has us trading as much as possible this offseason for the full reset and for maximum Farm stocking. 2021 the game is back on.

2020 will be painful but people will still show up to Fenway because: Fenway. Fans will still watch to see Rafi, Xbo, Sale.

 

The Notin Plan would only trade Betts if I was able to get a package that really dazzled me, assuming I could keep Betts and reset. Sometimes these players you know are going to test the market just don’t. Exhibit A being Xander Bogaerts. And keeping Betts does make the Sox substantially more competitive.

 

I wouldn’t trade Vazquez. I don’t think his trade value is anywhere near the top of the list on the Sox, despite his vast improvements this year. And trading him opens up a tough hole to fill at catcher.

 

If I use the trade values at baseballtradevalues.com (granted - not definitive)the Sox best expendable trade piece is probably Barnes, who, unlike Vazquez, is unknown for how he will impact resetting. And what team doesn’t need relievers? I also think Duran is overvalued, but there is no urgency to move him financially.

 

I think non-tendering Bradley is the right move, despite the horrific outfield depth in the Sox system and the defense he brings. He just hasn’t shown he will be worth $10-12mill in a budget crunch. The Notin Plan would target a defensive CF (Bradley, Lagares, Inciarte). And a fourth OF.

 

And rebuild that bullpen. Probably need 2 good relievers...

Add to that duo the kid they have in the minors (Jo Adell), if he lives up to the hype, it can take the Angels to the next level

This is remaining Salaries for the Sox. This is just a guide.

Have no problem with that. Well thought out.

It’s all in my application form...

And the Yankees have since added Tyler Lyons and Trevor Rosenthal to the bullpen mix.

 

While nothing is likely to save this season, can Dombrowski please take a gamble on someone other than non-pitchers Cody Asche, Joey Curletta, and the immortal Chris Owings ? Just give me the illusion of concern...

I agree with you on this.
