Park was brought in AFTER the Rule 5 date so he doesn't count. His transactions had no impact on whether they kept Ward or not.
-
Nobody wants Goodrum. He can be straight released. Tapia has an opt out if not added to 40 man by Opening Day.
-
Correction for my post above: @BOSSportsGordo Does not look like Alfaro will use his upward mobility clause now, but he does have opt outs on 6/1 and 7/1 if he’s not on the roster by then.
-
Yes, I believe they only have to worry about the next upward mobility date. I think there is another one in 2 months?
-
They don't grow on trees, but it seems like there are more and more of them these days.
-
Darwinzon Seabold German Some were traded for other guys. I don't remember if DHern was.
-
Or just trade Ward early in the offseason before you have to set your 40 man for the draft?
-
Two days ago. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/03/red-sox-notes-alfaro-goodrum-tapia-allen.html
-
Alfaro had an upward mobility clause, not an opt out. On 3/25, if he wasn't put on the 40 man, other clubs could offer to put him on their rosters in 24 hours. Clearly, nobody else added him as he's now going to WOO.
-
No, it just means no other team has offered Alfaro an MLB spot.
-
He had a 0.00 ERA in 2021. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolaids_Relief_Man_Award
-
@MacCerullo Word from Fort Myers is Bobby Dalbec has been optioned to Triple-A and Jorge Alfaro will remain with the Sox in Worcester. Presumably that means Yu Chang and Connor Wong will both start the season with the big league club.
-
Or they could have tried trading Ward prior to letting him just get taken 1st overall in the Rule 5 draft? He obviously had value.
-
The Red Sox could have also just kept Ward in AAA as well. Easy enough to manage his innings. We'll have to see if keeping Mills, Ort, Kelly and Murphy justify letting Ward go.
-
One of the knocks on Yorke is that he has the injury bug.
-
Why do you have Mills ahead of Bleier? Mills career: 6.21 ERA, 4.58 xFIP Bleier: 3.06 ERA, 3.79 xFIP Bleier has been a solid pitcher for a long time. Wyatt is a waiver wire guy.
-
Ward's track record isn't that much different than Brandon Walter. Ward: 41 Innings AA, 0 AAA Walter: 50 Innings AA, 7 AAA Some people thought Walter could help the Sox early on this season. I'm not comparing Ward to Ort, but Ward to Chris Murphy. I think I would have kept Ward over Murphy 100%.

@SmittyOnMLB Red Sox’s Garrett Whitlock likely to start Opening Day at Worcester on a rehab assignment March 31
-
@ChrisCotillo RHP Brayan Bello pitched in a minor league game on a back field today: 3.0 IP, 1 R, 1 ER, 4 SO (42 pitches / 24 strikes)

AAA Rafaela, Duran AA Abreu A+ ? A Bleis, Anthony Abreu hasn't really produced anywhere since leaving the HOU organization (POR, AFL, Spring Training). Rafaela also is far from a sure thing. Makes sense to hold onto Duran for now.
-
You can't DFA Ort. It's impossible. It just can't be done. Are you trying to throw the season?
-
Weren't Murphy and Walter already sent to AAA? Does that matter in Spring Training?
-
The roster is very fluid early on the season. It's really hard to know what Chaim will do at the bottom of the roster.
-
Maybe? Maybe due to the dearth of OF talent at the upper levels they just hold onto him as the ceiling would be higher than the return? IDK.
