    He is today. The worry is that he is 30 and that the contract is long and will be ugly in a few years. He's not a great defender and his good defensive numbers from this season wer a mirage due to the shift. We don't even know where he'll be playing in SD and how that will affect his hitting. He was dreadful when transitioned to 3b early in his career.
  2. mvp 78
    Yes, they should have kept Renfroe. An OF or Yoshida, Kiké, Renfroe looks pretty good to me.
  3. mvp 78
    Got it.
  4. mvp 78
    He's not a top 10 closer anymore, but he's better than what we had. It's clear that they weren't comfortable handing it over to Whitlock or Houck for whatever reason. My guess is Jansen starts as the closer and then over the course of the next two years, it's shared with the younger dynamic arm of Bryan Mata who becomes fulltime closer in 2025.

    They got a looong look at him after he came back from injury. Maybe his "stuff" hasn't returned. Maybe they determined that his upside is just "middle relief" profile going forward. He got injured in the AFL again. Maybe they just thought the value of him on the 40 man wasn't worth it. I disagree, but we'll see where 2023 takes us.

    Don't.

    He didn't set the world on fire, but in 111 games he would have been the Sox best OFer last season by a country mile. Yoshida will be a big time upgrade for this team.

    Bloom is most likely not here in 6 years, but Henry will be. I think it's obvious who would then decide the length of the deals.
  9. mvp 78
    There was a limit when DD was here. They let Mookie go. They re-signed Sale and Eovaldi instead. Bloom is working under the same constraints. They have about the same total payroll, it's just being allocated differently.

    It seems like they aren't adjusting their prices. That's their business model I guess? Until they do that, I can't project it will happen.

    The Betts contract should hold up ok in retrospect. The Bogaerts contract should get UGLY. I think the Devers contract should be fine since he's young. Sox should have at least kept 2 of them. Now, they'll probably just pass on all 3.
  12. mvp 78
    They won't pay 300M to Devers. They should trade him this offseason.
  13. mvp 78
    So the Sox go back to Xander and offer 8/225, but he still walks away. Even then, I'm not sure I like that contract and I wanted Xander to stay. The real problem was putting that opt out in there the first go around. They should have signed a better contract for him the first time. That's the initial failure. Let someone else pay for him for age 36-41 though.
  14. mvp 78
    It doesn't matter what the counter off was, I don't think they were getting anywhere close to the Padres $$$.
  15. mvp 78
    They are trying to compete with LAD, but it doesn't look like they know what they are doing.
  16. mvp 78
    No.
  17. mvp 78
    They should have tried harder to extend him last offseason, but I wouldn't want them to match that offer from the Padres. Xander for 11 years? I was hesitant at 7. His defense is going to be really bad. His power has gone down. He's a great guy and a leader, but that contract is a lot. There's been a few years where Xander's power has been zapped by wrist issues. Pass on that contract. Will the Padres be able to re-sign Soto now?
  18. mvp 78
    I agree.
  19. mvp 78
    Thought it was about 90M available?
  20. mvp 78
    I didn’t write those.
  21. mvp 78
    Sox nabbed in MiLB: Joe Jacques PIT LHP Ryan Miller NYY RHP
  22. mvp 78
    Cam Cannon was selected in the MiLB portion of the draft by DD.
  23. mvp 78
    Politi and Ward were both mentioned as guys that could be picked.
  24. mvp 78
    No, he can be on the Military List for years. It doesn’t impact the 40 man.
  25. mvp 78
    Suzuki was good last year.
