    He looked ok in 2020? Maybe he can do it again? At this point they need to at least give it a shot. I'd rather put him there than CF that's for sure. LF Pham/Duran CF JBJ RF Verdugo This alignment makes a little bit more sense for now. JBJ can make up for some of the zone deficiencies of LF/RF.

    Hosmer was basically free and just covers us for the rest of the season. The Sox can trade him in the offseason or next year when Casas is ready as they only owe him the minimum. Looks like they are going to try Verdugo in RF again? IDK.
  3. mvp 78
    Yeah, it's the trade deadline. Shouldn't they be worried about making deals rather than just travelling with the team.

    Posters were complaining about receiving 23 year old AA prospects yesterday. Groome is 23 and in AA this year he had a 4.46 BB/9 and a 4.90 FIP. His k rate also plummeted. He got healthy, but just isn't pitching very well. A straight up trade of Groome for the two Padres prospects could probably be reasonable at this point as it clears a 40 man spot.

    He'll be 33 next year and hasn't been a 1 fWAR guy since prior to the SDP deal. No way does he opt out. If he does, no way does he get a deal better than 3/39. It's not going to happen. When JBJ signed his 2/24 deal, he came off a 1.8 year in 2019 and a 1.6 shortened year in 2020. JBJ was twice the player Hosmer was AND 3 years younger.

    Ball couldn't blame it on an injury though. Groome was a very good prospect prior to the injury.
  7. mvp 78
    Mediocre defensive and aging catcher that was horrible running on the basepaths and his contract was up in two months anyway.
  8. mvp 78
    Why would he opt out of the remaining guaranteed money?
  9. mvp 78
    His curve isn’t what it was prior to TJS. His velo on his FB never came back either. Even SoxProspects, who are typically higher on everyone, were down on him this year. Only person who still like him was moon.

    C+ Didn’t lose anything. Didn’t really gain much.
  11. mvp 78
    Source: SD is paying Hosmer down to the minimum. They are sending Sox about $44m. LOL
  12. mvp 78
    Not really. Stuff wasn’t good anymore.

  14. mvp 78
    Undisclosed as of yet.
  15. mvp 78
    Also not a Sox deal.

    Not a Sox deal.

    @ChrisCotillo Christian Vázquez said the door is open for him to return to the Red Sox in free agency this winter.
  18. mvp 78
    @ChrisCotillo Christian Vázquez wanted to soak up one last BP session in a Red Sox uniform after learning he had been traded. Alex Cora obliged. "He asked me, ‘Hey, can I go take batting practice?’ I said, ‘Of course, you’re part of the family.’" https://www.masslive.com/redsox/2022/08/christian-vazquez-asked-alex-cora-for-one-last-bp-in-a-red-sox-uniform-and-the-manager-obliged-of-course-youre-part-of-the-family.html When Vázquez emerged for an awkward batting practice session that doubled as his final act as a Red Sox uniform, he knew his 14-year run in the organization had come to an end. The Red Sox -- contrary to how it looked as it played out -- weren’t hanging Vázquez out to dry.

    It's been ugly. There's no getting around it. Maybe they'll be watchable again?
  20. mvp 78
    You don't need to pay for Strahm. They didn't need to pay for Diekman!
  21. mvp 78
    Dalbec should be in Worcester. Franchy should be in Japan.
  22. mvp 78
    And yet, he's still lightyears better than what the Sox have put on the field this year for whatever reason.
  23. mvp 78
    Franchy can't play 1b ever again. The last 3 weeks: 357 OPS -2 wRC+ 51.1 K% 80.8 EV 169 wOBA DFA
  24. mvp 78
    Yeah, he's been ok. The Padres just overpaid for him. If you look back at his Royals track record, it made no sense for him to get the contract he got. fWAR 2011 1.1 2012 -1.3 2013 3.1 2014 -0.2 2015 3.5 2016 0.0 2017 3.8 That's a little bit of a roller coaster ride. Then he went to a ballpark that massively suppresses hits (ballpark factor is 30th for H and 2B). Maybe he'll be better in Fenway? Maybe he'll still be somewhat mediocre?

    All those panda hats they had to write off and send to a third world country...
