The Semien signing looked really bad early on last season. We'll see how that one goes. If Story sticks at 2b, his defense should at least give him good value to offset his k rate. If he stays healthy, he should be fine.

Deep within the recesses of my brain, a tiny red hot little flame began to grow.

Call me crazy, but I thought the bullpen could be handled by just throwing some of the younger guys in there like Winckowski, Crawford, Murphy, Mata, Ward. They won't all work out, but it would be a better use of funds than going to the FA market where prices are inflated. Use the FA money to fill what your org doesn't have at the upper levels: OF, SS, DH, SP, etc.

Uh, yup. Maybe one big signing? Maybe...

Larry Walker is already in the HOF.
-
Honestly, this is good for baseball.
-
Depends on which front office and what deals they would have signed instead.
-
This is what Verdugo defense in RF gets you.
-
Makes sense.

We can't. Need to make sure we can reset in 2029.

@jay_jaffe Commissioner Rob Manfred about automated ball-and strike system and its possibility for adoption in 2024: “We learned a lot about ABS in 2022, suggesting we’re not done learning about ABS.” Adds that a lot would depend on structure of proposal to players

Sox did meet with Boras about Xander last night, per Pete Abe "no progress was made."

Boras on whether or not they'll go back to the Sox with a matching offer: @MacCerullo Full quote: "We're not the matching kind. We let teams know they have to assert, we don't ever hold back from reaching an agreement with any team and certainly we don't give market preference to anyone otherwise I think the free agent right would be damaged."

@redsoxstats MLB Network saying the Red Sox, Yankees, Blue Jays, and Mariners are in Masataka Yoshida and there should be a competitive market for him. Kodai Senga has a robust market and teams are rating him near Rodon, the guess is over $20M AAV. Senga at 20M?
-
@ChrisCotillo Red Sox open to a catching upgrade but nothing going on with them and Willson Contreras, per source. As others have reported, lots of leaguewide interest in Christian Vázquez. Sox meeting with his reps today but they represent a few Cs on open market so unclear the nature.
-
The famed "sell low" strategy. Let's see how that works out.

Verdugo RF 2022: -17.3 UZR/150 -4 DRS (430 Innings)

Could they realistically pay Turner, Soto and Tatis?

@mlbtraderumors Giants' Offer To Aaron Judge Reportedly "In The Neighborhood" Of $360MM

Here's what Mac Cerullo wrote about Yoshida in November (free article): https://www.eagletribune.com/sports/another-japanese-star-on-sox-radar-outfielder-yoshida-may-be-latest-to-make-mlb-jump/article_a8518e74-5aaa-11ed-95e9-a7725bdd8685.html

Maybe in a normal year? Maybe once the younger guys are ready to fill in? This year, the Sox just have too many holes to fill to waste $$$ on guys that are more likely than not to miss substantial time.

Stinky cheese underneath a shoebox with a stick holding the shoebox up. Ignore the long string tied to the stick.
-
Without the larger markets, the game is screwed. He should have played hardball. He didn't want to because THE LUXURY TAX ARTIFICIALLY REDUCES PLAYER SALARIES. Owner revenue keeps going up and up and up and up though.
-
It should have been. Owners pushed back against it. Why didn't the bigger market teams stand up during the CBA negotiations and tell the smaller clubs to stick it?
-
I can't believe he reached his first ARB year when he was 17. It was crazy.
