    Yes.

    I'm sure Bloom has already planned for multiple scenarios. He's probably prepared to sell, buy and stand pat or do a mix. I'm sure he's already had conversations about the guys we're talking about.

    You can offer a 10M raise without blinking an eye, not that I think you have to go that high (Semien signed for 25 AAV). Then you go to Devers and see what you can work out.

    You think you'd get less than a comp pick for Bogaerts, but that he's going to sign some sort of max deal in the offseason? Huh? That's not how the trade deadline ever works.

    They are as close to .500 as they are to playoff contention. I just don't see this team as having a real shot in the postseason. They aren't a very strong ballclub. It's not the crapshoot people make it out to be IMO. This team is worse hitting than last year (10th fWAR in 21, now 14th). This team has worse starting pitching than last year (6th fWAR in 21, now 16th). This team has worse relief pitching than last year (9th in fWAR in 21, now 19th). They don't look like a team that is worth putting all your chips on and letting it ride.

    If they are cutting JDM, shoulding there be enough $$$ to re-sign Xander?

    I think the 2021 Red Sox, who led the division for a long time until a late swoon, were a really good team and much better than the 2022 version. This team has just shown very little fight. I'm not a believer.

    I think the Sox would get smoked by the Rays and Yanks in the postseason. I don't know how Toronto will play down the stretch. Young ballclub, new manager, lots of variance.
  9. mvp 78
    That's surprising. Also, they lose slot value for any top 10 pick they don't sign. My guess is they are anticipating on signing a ton of those guys under slot. We'll have to see what Brannon gets.

    Ok, so could the Cleveland Guardians of 2007 beat the other AL Central teams? As the division winner, I bet they probably could.
  11. mvp 78
    Ok?

    I don't see them selling no matter what.
  14. mvp 78
    That Cleveland team won 96 games. Are these Red Sox going to win 96 games? If so, then yes, they should be buyers...................

    How many series have the Sox won against the AL East this season?
  16. mvp 78
    The Jays core isn't good enough? They won last year's trading deadline? They won the offseason? I keep hearing about all the young talent they have. Is this not the case?

    @stephapstein Is gambling getting too close to the sport for comfort? MLB union head Tony Clark: “Getting? No. Is? Yeah. Has been? Yeah.” He expresses concern that players have bookies following them in social media. The biggest change I've noticed since I was a youngin'. Every sports network is either owned by Ballys or features so much gambling advertisement that it's basically one in the same.

    You would not enjoy driving in FL then.

    Red Sox expiring contracts: Xander, Eovaldi, JD, Vazquez, Kiké, Wacha, Hill, Strahm, Davis Rays expiring contracts: Kiermaier (team option), Zunino, Kluber, Wisler Jays expiring contracts: Stripling, Romo The core of the Rays and Jays is intact beyond 2023. The Red Sox are in a state of flux with a ton of players leaving at the end of the year. Does it make more sense for the Sox to just let the players go without getting anything back for them? That doesn't make business sense to me. That's just my opinion. Other posters want to take a chance on another postseason run, believing that it's all just a crapshoot and this team has as good a chance as any other team. I just don't see it that way. I think there is a greater impetus for this year's Sox to sell than the Jays or Rays or any other recent Sox team. It's a unique case.

    I said "making a run AT the playoffs." I don't think this team can make a run IN the playoffs. They can't win a series against a good team. They just can't.
  21. mvp 78
    I'm not sure they are going to be able to fall 6-8 games behind that quickly. They are only 2 games back now and there is a 10 game home stretch before the end of July. They would really have to crater for that to happen. Since they haven't made overtures to Xander about re-signing, I assume they aren't going to keep him so I'd sell. I bet they are just going to stand pat and make some minor moves ala Austin Davis/Hansel Robles but a very mediocre bat.

    I would like to DFA COVID.
  23. mvp 78
    Last year they could actually win a series against the AL East here or there.
  24. mvp 78
    I agree. I don't think he's going to sign though.

    Sox have $8.48M to spend. If they give all of the bonus to Roman (about 400K), they have to save about 1.3M elsewhere. Each pick from 11-20 is slotted at $150k. Romero will probably sign for slightly under slot. Maybe 2.6? 400K savings. Brooks Brannon isn't going to sign. That's 150K savings. Rogers/Meidroth would also be way under slot. 500K savings. Pass on signing Caleb Bolden at 200K and you can probably sign the rest of your class. Brooks Brannon is probably not signing though.
