    Bloom traded Beni at his absolute lowest value. Made no real sense.

    I think the Sox have a lot of capable guys in the minors. Clearly, they can't all fit into the rotation. I think Crawford, Winckowski and others would be better in the pen especially if their stuff is playing up.

    100%, plus he'll be about $2.5M this year.

    Wacha was smoke and mirrors last year. I don't want them to overpay for Heaney though. I'm not sure what's going on there.
  5. mvp 78
    Maybe he'd do well at a LHB park like MIL or CIN.
  6. mvp 78
    Horrible swing for Fenway. I wouldn't take him for anything more than $5M AAV here.
  7. mvp 78
    That was a long time ago and he's been very injured and struggle to come back.

    Paulino and Bonaci are far away. Wikelman is far away, but it's risky to leave him unprotected. I believe Ward was left unprotected due to health concerns, but I would have protected him for sure. I believe Fernandez ended the season with an injury, but he's close to providing an MLB team with bullpen help. I don't think Koss, Jimenez or Bastardo would be selected. Politi or Wallace could be selected, but there are probably better options available on other rosters.

    @MacCerullo #RedSox roster news: RHP Jake Reed was claimed off waivers by the Dodgers, and C Caleb Hamilton cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A. Both were DFA’d earlier this week after being claimed following the end of the season. Bloom still has his man. Actually, getting a defensive first guy with a platoon bat that can hang out in AAA all year is good.

    Seemed long enough to me. Or maybe it's been repeated so often that it just feels long.
  11. mvp 78
    Oh, no.
  12. mvp 78
    Yes.
  13. mvp 78
    You can add it to the list of grievances when the time comes if Ward succeeds elsewhere.

    The nontender deadline is generally the date where nothing really happens anyway. Brasier was bottom 3% in hard hit and bottom 5% in exit velo. His good stretches were solely due to luck. At 35, it's safe to let him go away as he's now due for a raise in arbitration.

    Scouts drink the Kookaid more.
  16. mvp 78
    You know why.

    https://blogs.fangraphs.com/bostons-thad-ward-should-draw-interest-in-the-rule-5-draft/ Thad Ward should be of interest to several teams come next month’s Rule 5 draft. Currently no. 15 on our Boston Red Sox prospect rankings with a 40+ FV, the 25-year-old right-hander wasn’t added to the club’s 40-man roster — a decision that left Eric Longenhagen “a tad surprised.” Our lead prospect analyst explained that Ward “looked good in the Arizona Fall League, locating 92-94 mph fastballs while mixing in two above-average breaking balls… [and] looks like a possible bulk relief fit right now.”

    @MacCerullo Today is MLB's tender deadline, and with a full 40-man roster the #RedSox could make some cuts to clear space for future free agent signings. Who might be on the chopping block? Some possible non-tender candidates. Taylor - Arb eligible and perpetually injured, they probably keep him around, projected 1.1M Brasier - Arb is projected 2.3M, should be nontendered Chang - Unless Arroyo is leaving, what is the purpose of keeping an arb eligible guy like Chang around? Cordero - Arb eligible at 1.5M, time to let him be free DHern - lots of potential, probably sticks around another year IMO

    Senga instead of Eovaldi. Correa instead of Bogey and an OFer?
  20. mvp 78
    They are very planned. Grossly planned sometimes.
  21. mvp 78
    Not that reasonable if another team wanted to give him 20% more.
  22. mvp 78
    They are the yahoos.
  23. mvp 78
    I don't think the leaks were coming from the baseball ops side, it was from the ownership level (aka John Henry, Tom Werner).
  24. mvp 78
    For the trades and early draft rounds, sure. I don't think the GM really has much of a clue once you get deep into the farm system or later rounds of a draft. Scouts may remember, but GMs won't.
  25. mvp 78
    The guys that changed are at the top. The bones still seem to be the same.
