I suggested Duran or Narvaez as possible additions to make BTV work- not both.

Again, I'm not for the trade, unless it's Story for Murphy 1 to 1, which BTV does not accept.

BTV is more useless than MH IMO.

its not the right mentality.  Trying to be hyper efficient in payroll is how we wound up in this mess.  Trying to squeeze value out of sunk costs.

NOt saying jsut spend , spend, spend.  Just saying that the issue with this team is that we are short on offensive talent. And if we save money, breslow is just going to get 4 more pitchers. Weve seen the movie before.

I agree.

Is that after trading Contreras (171 OPS+ now)?

Right now, Rafaela (123) and Abreu (117) are over 115, but I do agree we need 2-3 more beyond the 3 we have now.

1 more would not be enough.

2 more mega bats might be enough.

Con Man is not being traded.🤔

Toronto rode that 27th ranked offense and third ranked defense to the World Series last year….

AZ was 15th in runs scored in 2023.

The budget is fine at this level.  THe problem is breslow.  And no, Ranger Suarez contract will NOT age well

He’s not much more than a 5 inning pitcher now.

for

Murphy

So is demanding the Sox spend more money and Henry sell the team but I don’t see you decrying that….

Atlanta would not want Story, and Boston would not want Murphy.

Of the two, Boston is more likely to reject that deal…

Then no FA will ever work out I guess.
