    Why? This doesn't make sense at all. When you're Mookie Betts, the pandemic doesn't affect your contract. His ask of $420 wasn't a demand, but part of a negotiation. Sox chose to withdraw rather than meet in the middle which would have been close to $365. Makes more sense that $365 is closer to what he actually expected regardless of the pandemic. People just use the pandemic as an excuse for why the contract wasn't as large as they thought it was going to be.

    Eovaldi gets riskier and riskier as he gets older. Wacha just has limited upside. You offer a QO to either of them and they gobble it up.

    Hill is cheap and can pitch out of the pen so that's fine.
  4. mvp 78
    Turner is going to be 30M+. He'll be way more than Bogey.
  5. mvp 78
    Gross.

    I wouldn't even pencil in Refsnyder as making the opening day roster. He's been a lifelong backup for a reason. He's been a brightspot for a miserable team. Don't expect it to carry over guys.

    39.9% first pitch swing for Raffy. MLB average is 29.4.

    I heard an interview with Speier where he was discussing it directly and had sources state as much.

    There's lots of deferred money thrown around these days, that's not abnormal. How can you guys be so sure it was the pandemic?

    Morton Ryu
  11. mvp 78
    No.
  12. mvp 78
    This came straight from Speier from what I remember.
  13. mvp 78
    Overall, it hasn't been a good use of resources.
  14. mvp 78
    I think Paulino would just drop down to 11 through no fault of his own.
  15. mvp 78
    I think one of the SP guys has him top 10?
  16. mvp 78
    That's because he's a good hitter. If he hits well at the start of next season, Sox may look into extending him and buying out a year or two of FA.
  17. mvp 78
    Sale extension and re-signing Eovaldi (the feel good move after the WS). The Bogey contract was good. If anything, DD should have opened his wallet and overpaid Mookie.
  18. mvp 78
    Yuck

    Aside from a stretch in June, was he consistently in that role? It's been a hodgepodge of guys getting saves for the Sox this year: Schreiber, Strahm, Whitlock, Houck and they even experimented with Robles at one point.
  20. mvp 78
    What DD did through October 2018 was fine. What he did afterwards is what set the franchise back.
  21. mvp 78
    I just have a suspicion that they like Perales a lot (high ceiling) and don't really care as much for Blaze.
  22. mvp 78
    At least for one more year.
  23. mvp 78
    Sox have lots of those going into next year: Schreiber, Whitlock, Houck, Barnes, FATBNL.
  24. mvp 78
    Now now, don't sell us short!
  25. mvp 78
    From April 30th on: 244 AVG 774 OPS 109 wRC+ 16 HR 61 RBI 47 R For the season, he has only 4 less RBI than the almighty Hunter Renfroe who has 100 more Plate Appearances. I think that's pretty good.
