    There's still time before the next contract is printed.
  2. mvp 78
    Those moves all not surprises. Anderson, Vogelbach and Gray would get more on the open market so the teams kept them. Similarly, Bassitt declined his option as he'd get more. Cruz is overpaid so the team declined their portion of the mutual option. Cruz may retire?

    Bello was just about ready. He was sent back down at one point, but came back up and was much better the second time around. Ort really isn't anything of note. Like I said, he's DFA material. German is NOT ready. He is a one pitch pitcher right now. He can get MiLB hitters out, but I don't think he's ready for MLB.
  4. mvp 78
    No.
  5. mvp 78
    For now.

    The only thing he mentions in the story is that he likes to take batting practice in the cage inside rather than on the field.

    When young pitchers first come up, they typically struggle a little: Steve Avery 1990: 3-11, 5.64 ERA Tom Glavine 1987: 2-4, 5.54 ERA Greg Maddux 1986-7: 8-18, 5.60 ERA John Smoltz 1988: 2-7, 5.48 ERA I'm not saying the Sox farm will produce anything like the 90's Braves, just that guys that come up from the farm tend to take a little while to mature. The comment about the young pitchers "left a lot to be desired" is kind of jumping the gun IMO.

    Bello 2.48 ERA 8/24 - 9/25, will be in the rotation in 2023 GREAT Crawford 3.33 ERA 6/12 - 8/13 as starter over 9 games and 54 innings, GOOD Kelly 2.13 ERA 8/29-9/29, probably earned MLB spot for 23 GOOD Winckowski up and down, was projected as back end starter at best, had his moments FAIR Ort overall numbers took a beating because of the TOR appearance where he was left in too long, but is a taxi squad bullpen guy at best DFA MATERIAL German throws hard but has no secondary pitch, will start in AAA in 23 IN PROGRESS Bastardo numbers looked good, but peripherals weren't impressive ALREADY DFA'D Seabold rough year dealing with injuries and inconsitency, seems to be a AAAA guy TRADE BAIT

    Since the 22-23 Offseason Thread was locked, I'll just put this here: @ChrisCotillo Many key dates coming up for the Red Sox: 11/8-10: GM Meetings in Vegas 11/8 or 11/9: Bogaerts' opt-out decision due 11/10 or 11/11: Team options, QOs due 11/15: Rule 5 protection deadline 11/18: Non-tender deadline 11/20 or 11/21: Qo decisions due 12/5-7: Winter Meetings in SD

    I think they were trying to say you can't win a World Series by calling up your farm, not that your farm will develop you into a WS contender.

    @SmittyOnMLB Red Sox prospects Nick Yorke, Stephen Scott (5 homers) named All-Stars in AFL

    The fact that deGrom came back after injury and pitched great would make me tempted to give him a large contract to get him out of Queens. Mets are said to be prioritizing Nimmo and Diaz rather than deGrom.
  13. mvp 78
    Why do the Rays keep getting the better end of their trades?
  14. mvp 78
    Die Wally, Die.
  15. mvp 78
    Excluding the 20M+ guys, the order of preference would be: Taillon Syndergaard Wacha Walker Manaea I'm not sure I'd want two of them though. They are all mid rotation guys at best.
  16. mvp 78
    Manaea is not a Bloom guy from the looks of his Statcast page. Woof.
  17. mvp 78
    If Correa is 6/210, you can still probably afford Raffy if you want.
  18. mvp 78
    What is the unique "routine" that they are questioning?
  19. mvp 78
    @ChrisCotillo In each of the last two winters, Chaim Bloom has made a surprise trade involving an outfielder with two years left of control. Could Alex Verdugo follow Andrew Benintendi and Hunter Renfroe out the door? Some within Red Sox are down on Verdugo due to numbers (not average, but everything else) regressing across the board as well as questions about Verdugo’s preparation and unique routine throughout the year. If so, they are a year too late in trading him. His value is going down each season.
  20. mvp 78
    Bogaerts better be amendable to moving off SS someday anyway. 8 years from now, he's defense is going to be horrific.
  21. mvp 78
    Manaea at 12? He was putrid down the stretch this year. I'm not sure Heaney should get a pay raise after missing half a season. Walker at 14 seems like an overpay. Syndergaard and Eovaldi may be worse bets than Taillon going forward. Is Bassitt really a $21M guy? That seems really high. That's basically the inflated Fangraphs value of WAR. Kershaw signed 1/17 last season. He's now going to get 31M AAV? These numbers seem a little high...
  22. mvp 78
    Why? Because the Sox would rather go all in on a SS, or because Bogaerts just doesn't want to be here?
  23. mvp 78
    And things like Heyman's 8/225 amount could just come out of thin air. It's silly season right now until guys start actually getting signed.

    I've said as much several times since the Mookie trade.
