Sox to not sign Seiya Suzuki

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Pads get Manaea for their numbers 12 and 26 prospects. Someone with Sox prospect knowledge can dig up Boston's equivalents (assuming they're about equal to SD's)...

 

... then we'll have something new to argue about.

 

ps. according to one Sox' website, #12 is Gonzalez, #26 is Hamilton (from the infamous Renfroe haul).

Bloom has been a prospect-clutcher so far, there's no doubt about that.

Who? MLBTR has no names yet.

 

Best I can do is compare FV values on Fangraphs to see who the best Sox equivalent is. It' probably someone better than Hamilton...

A's get: IF Euribiel Angeles, RHP Adrian Martinez (from MLB.com).

BTV has these values:

 

14.1 Manaea

0.2 A Holiday

 

for

2.4 E Angeles

0.5 A Martinez

 

Did the A's get cash, too?

 

It looks like they got hosed.

 

BTV equivalence Sox players:

 

2.6 Bonaci

2.6 Arroyo

2.5 R Hernandez

2.2 Murphy

 

and

 

1.6 Cannon, Chacon, Wong

1.5 Liu

1.4 Lira, Lopez

Just becaue Upton is not worth $28M, does not mean not teams want him at the minimum.

 

He still hits lefties pretty well, which Verdugo and JBJ do not.

 

.852 career v L

.838 in 2021

.796 in '20- short season

 

BTW, I was all for going after Suzuki, and that was before I knew he could pitch like Ohtani!

 

Ok the splits are interesting. But yeah the Sox not going after Suzuki when paying him would cost HALF of what it cost to sign Trevor Story's 140m. Well it's worrisome because it signals to me that Bloom thinks the outfield is fine and perhaps is even planning on letting Bogaerts walk and use Story as his replacement.

 

That's a very expensive anticipatory move and the opportunity cost we missed out on was signing a potential stud outfielder/pitcher.

The green text is sarcasm. Suzuki can’t pitch…

Notin, could you confirm whether you are going to participate in our fantasy league? Someone said you were interested. If so please contact A700 who is the commissioner of the league.

 

Thanks in advance.

Again, I was all for signing Suzuki at more than what he got.

 

I like the Story signing but would have preferred Baez by a hair.

 

I hope we keep Bogey, but when someone offers him an obscene amount of money, I would not top it.

Unfortunately, notin won't be able to beat up on Thunder's team this year.

LOL yeah! just noticed he won't make it this year. It's a shame!

There are 11 teams?

[mvp 78]

There are 11 teams?

 

That's an A700 question. He said there are only 10 teams now. Maybe one needs to be taken off the league?

 

Anyway, here's the thread for all the fantasy discussion: https://www.talksox.com/forum/threads/20002-2021-TalkSox-Fantasy-Baseball-League-Mike-Grace-Memorial-League?p=1455323#post1455323
