    That’s SO MUCH more money than Ohtani and it makes my brain hurt.
  2. 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

    Yep, we'll be posting these to the new YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@talksox

    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.
  15. 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.
  18. 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.

    I'm still unconvinced Adames is a good fit in Boston but I'm willing to wait it out and see what happens. Breslow is obviously a smart guy, I'm curious where he goes with all of this.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    If the Red Sox are willing to take on $7m or more of Vazquez, I think the prospect capital required to get him away from the Twins will be almost nothing.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    That's fair, it just seems like an incredibly dumb and unnecessary thing to say if you're not even going to try to meet the goal. All it does is give the media and fans extra ammunition.
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    It's good to hear the Sox are exploring so many high-end free agents but this one makes no sense to me. I'm already skeptical of pursuing Adames and he's a much better fit than Bregman IMO.
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    Welcome to the site! And while I normally agree that skepticism is warranted, the mere suggestion that the Red Sox are ready to go over the CBT again makes me think they're not just blowing smoke. Because if you say you're willing to go over the CBT and you don't even come close to doing so, the backlash is going to be enormous. There's no reason to hang yourself out there like that unless you plan to actually do it. Kennedy would have lost nothing by keeping his mouth shut.
