    More information about "In A Post-Soto World, Are The Red Sox Prioritizing Alex Bregman?"
    According to WEEI Sports in a recent roundup, after losing out on Juan Soto the Red Sox are prioritizing Alex Bregman per sources. Bregman, a long-time Astro, will play his age 32 season in 2025. He fills several needs that should interest the Red Sox: he's right-handed, is a good defender at third base, and is the type of all-around player that makes it easier to move Rafael Devers off the hot corner. In an offseason where pitchers have flown off the market for more than expected, we're still unsure how the position player market will shake out. Bregman also has the Qualifying Offer attached to his services so the signing team will lose a draft pick by acquiring him. Time will tell whether this suppresses team interest.

    More information about "Mariners Listening On Offers For Right-Hander Luis Castillo"
    Alex Speier of The Boston Globe mentioned in a recent write-up that the Seattle Mariners are listening when opposing GMs come calling for Luis Castillo. Castillo turns 32 in a few days. A reliable frontline starter for several years, the righty's ERA took a step backward in 2024 but most of his peripherals suggest the situation is far from dire. He lost roughly half a mile per hour on his pitches but metrics such as Stuff+ and Statcast are conflicted on whether the quality of his pitches changed significantly enough to warrant his ERA dropping to roughly league-average. Castillo is signed for a little over $24 million per season through 2027 and has a vesting option for 2028 at $25 million. The Mariners have one of the best rotations in baseball but spend every season trying to scrape together enough runs to reach meaningful October baseball. There is a good chance they end up dealing some of that pitching for long-term lineup help.

    Honestly, I’m glad they came short on that number. It’s a ridiculous amount for a guy who can’t play defense at age 26.
  6. Brock Beauchamp
    That’s SO MUCH more money than Ohtani and it makes my brain hurt.
  7. Brock Beauchamp
    Yikes. Absurd money.

    Let’s not conflate “a contract was not signed” with “a miss” on reporting a rumor. Teams have *loads* of conversations that end up going nowhere. It doesn’t mean the conversation didn’t happen or that there wasn’t real intent behind it. I encourage people interested in rumors to read this piece from Matt Trueblood on how deals are reported and often fall apart. The (It's Not a) Life and (So It Can't Be a) Death of That Wild Garrett Crochet-to-Cubs Trade Rumor - Cubs - North Side Baseball NORTHSIDEBASEBALL.COM For a day on which nothing actually happened, a lot sure did happen on Thursday, eh? Let's clean up a mess.

    More information about "Are The Red Sox Shopping Triston Casas?"
    Alex Speier of The Boston Globe wrote on Saturday that "several major league sources" are reporting that the Red Sox have been actively shopping first baseman Triston Casas in trade talks this winter. After Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow said earlier that the team was not interested in shopping Casas, something appears to have changed. Coupled with the pursuit of Juan Soto and speculation that Rafael Devers may move off third base, it will be hard to find consistent playing time for Casas if all those stars align. Casas, still only 24, posted a 120 OPS+ last season and isn't arbitration-eligible. He is under team control until after the 2028 season.

    As long as he learns how to play balls off the Monster, Fenway is kind of a perfect fit for Soto's defensive (in)ability.

    I changed the budget to $240m because it feels inevitable the Sox are going to spend this offseason.

    Okay, Chapman signed. Who should I bump out of the bullpen and replace with Chapman? https://talksox.com/payroll-blueprint

    Seconded.

    I have to run out the door, if I don't add this by the next podcast release, remind me to do so. It's not a one-click add like some of the other services.

    Tito Francona doesn't like Bauer. If Tito doesn't like a guy, he's probably awful. Move on.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    I find Bauer to be absolutely annoying both on and off the field, and that's ignoring his extra-curricular "activities". I want nothing to do with him.

    The way I view it, generational talent contracts fare much better than the "really good" talent contracts. I'd rather pay Soto an exorbitant amount than two of Burnes/Fried and Adames. Did the Yankees regret the A-Rod contract as he slugged his way to 700 career homers? They may have regretted it because A-Rod is a douche but not because of the way he played on the field. If you have the money to pay the kind of free agent who only hits the market every decade or so, just do it.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    I agree on both counts.

    Sorry, there was an error in the previous piece and the only way to fix it was to delete the old post. Sorry for the loss of comments.
