    Duran was 3rd in MLB in LF with 11 DRS. Not sure that can be considered a dumpster fire.
  2. mvp 78
    Ceddanne Rafaela.

    I don't have a problem with the defensive metrics and get why OAA and DRS don't match. I just don't necessarily agree with how they have determined defense factors into WAR.
  4. mvp 78
    111 wRC+, 4 DRS in '25 If he can approximate that going forward, he'll have a spot somewhere.
  5. mvp 78
    Casas is the only guy 25 or younger in the bottom 20 in sprint speed.

    We got a quote from Cora about Story, but just hearsay about Mayer. I couldn't find anything more than "Red Sox would be fine with Mayer at 3b," "prefer him at 3b over 3b" and "are expecting to have Mayer replace Bregman at 3b" are "looking for options at 2b." This doesn't necessarily rule out them moving him over. Why can't they move the guy who Cora once called the best 2b in the AL over to that position? It would be "a tough move" to shift Story off of SS as his bad defense down the stretch was due to "a long season."

    Earth to Craig!!!

    Wong had a significant shoulder injury prior to '25, so it's not surprising his throwing metrics fell off. It was surprising that he became a net zero framer somehow. In previous seasons, his poor framing tanked his defense (2nd percentile '24, 11th percentile '23). I don't think the elite pop time and CS% from '23 will ever come back.
  9. mvp 78
    I think the easiest answer is that Craig is going to wheel and deal guys off the 40 man rather than DFA.
  10. mvp 78
    There are still stars available: Walker Buehler Gary Sanchez Jason Heyward Nestor Cortes Michael Conforto Tony Gonsolin David Robertson Craig Kimbrel Marcus Stroman DJ LeMahieu Carlos Santana Max Scherzer Is Craig dumb? Doesn't he want to win? These guys are All Stars. Some are MVP and CY candidates. WTH?
  11. mvp 78
    He wouldn't show much power here and doesn't help the goal of reducing k%. The roster could make more sense though. IDK.
  12. mvp 78
    That Manaea contract is yucky. I know certain posters on here wanted the Sox to sign him, but ewwwww.
  13. mvp 78
    Holding onto Wong as a 3rd Catcher is more important than holding onto Sogard.
  14. mvp 78
    Wong still has 1 option left.
  15. mvp 78
    Murphy is currently rehabbing his hip, so IDK if he's a great guy to make a run for right now.
  16. mvp 78
    It will depend on who is at 2b.
  17. mvp 78
    Without Rafaela's power potential, that free swinging approach, doesn't pay the dividends as you climb the ladder. He's also not super fast.
  18. mvp 78
    I don't know how well the Mets line up with the Sox for a trade. Baty is fine, but would more have to be given up if they are acquiring Duran/Rafaela?
  19. mvp 78
    Realmuto's catching has been going downhill. I think if they brought him in, it would be to DH/C and take over for Wong. I don't think it would make sense to reduce Narvaez's role for a guy who can no longer frame or block a pitch.
  20. mvp 78
    The focus this offseason for Mayer was to hit the weight room. We'll see what results come from it. Max velo '25 Bregman 83.7 Mayer 83.3 Paredes 84.1 Arias is still a long ways away. Hasn't produces outside of A ball and his bat is underdeveloped IMO. Not worried about Romy. Probably taking over the Refsnyder role going forward. Most likely trading one of the starting pitchers (Sandoval?) as they just have to many guys for the innings they need to hand out.
  21. mvp 78
    I wonder if it was initially to apply pressure to Bregman into signing because they thought he didn't have offers elsewhere. 😎
  22. mvp 78
    All of them are options. If you ignore the "options" Kelly would be the most likely to be DFA'd.
  23. mvp 78
    Acquisition? They have said they want Mayer at 3b and Story at SS. Why they have already announced this is beyond me.
  24. mvp 78
    Considering Bello's contract, Shaw is probably worth more in a trade due to how cheap he is. Bello would go up to 4/12.5 AAV or so. If he was still on an arb number, he may have more value in a trade than with the additional years of control. The years of control are good if you want to retain Bello and think he's going to outperform the deal (i.e. be a #2). They should probably work out a deal for one of the OFers and Paredes as it makes sense for the roster, but HOU would probably rather deal for a pitcher if I had to guess. Sox overvalue Duran, so I wonder what it'll take to move him.
