Duran & Wong for Paredes & Walker Yanek

I don't consider that remotely close.  It's tough to assess someone like Janek, but the Ks are huge and no guarantee he sticks at catcher.

Yes: sign Caratini for 1 year as a bridge to Yanek..

How about not including Wong, and HOU can sign Caratini?

Alonso to the O’s for $155M. Love it, love it, love it. The O’s went hard after Flintstone, and now they signed Alonso. Who saw the O’s as being big players in the FA market. They also traded for Ward earlier on, so they have added some big production bats.

TalkSox about to be in shambles.

Dude what in the F**k? How do we get out of AL East? If BJ’s bring back Bo or get a Tucker we are looking at 4th place in AL East……..  Breslow is such a p word. 

[mvp 78]

Only one move can fix this.

I don’t know if Brez got a face to face with Alonso, or not, but to get outbid by the O’s.🙈

Bregman feels absolutely certain now. Casas and Romy to ride out 1st for the foreseeable.

I like Paredes, but he is only a small bargain over  his current salary.  And since I like Mayer as our l/t 3B, I'm lukewarm on Paredes.  But no way I deal a 2-year star like Duran for 2 years of Paredes.

[Old Red]

I know one poster on here said Alonso would like Boston over Baltimore. I guess he didn’t read the room very well. All that hard work of penciling in Alonso in a imaginary Red Sox batting order down the drain.

Paredes has a nice spray chart!

Players like more money over less money. 

[vegasbob]

Definitely got  the sense that Breslow ( or Owners) wouldn't go the 5 years or maybe the $30MM AAV .

OTOH, Alonso must know he will get less HRs in Baltimore , but he will be getting the money guaranteed, like all aging sluggers.

Why do people think that Bregman will take any less , and when you look at his overall 2026, AB is a fading light over a 4-5 year period.

And no doubt Baltimore offered more money. I just hope the Red Sox won’t turn to Bregman now, and offer him more money than they would have before.

A RH DH is a good fit for them, but they still need at least 2 SPs.

[vegasbob]

Didn't the O's sign a guy named Chris Davis to a big deal  in this century ?  How did that go ?

Bregman doesn't seem to have the market Pete did, though. I'm not sure who we'd be bidding against for Bregman.

I don’t think is worried to much about hitting in Baltimore. Bregman is not the hitter Alonso is.

His biggest cheerleader is the current manager.

Red Sox draw artificial lines in the sand and don't get "uncomfortable" no matter how much they say they do. It's fine if Alonso isn't THAT guy. However, when the right move is there, they need to really go for it.

The Cubs are interested I guess? IDK.
