Nobody is giving Xander 8 years. He's also not getting 30M AAV. I'm not sure I'd give Correa 30M either. Turner, yes. Per Statcast, Xander got a big bonus to fWAR from defensive shifting this year. When he was in his normal defensive positioning, he had a negative OAA. In fact, his 5 OAA comes solely from when he was positioned to the right of 2b. That has gone away for him.

rLrLr Not bad?

Is the Luxury Tax inflating at 10% too or no? 150/6
-
Well, Henry said he's calling Xander when he gets back from Aruba. We'll see if that materializes.
-
I agree 100%. For Kiké to stick there, he's going to need to get to .340 or so. It's doable, but his career line is closer to .315 which is too low IMO.
-
Step 1: Make Bogey a competitive offer. Step 2: Sign Jose Iglesias for a cheap one year deal. Step 3: Leave the door open and wait to see if the Bogey market ever materializes.
-
They aren't signing deGrom. They most likely aren't signing Nimmo either. Garcia is "cheaper" to acquire because he kinda stinks. This is a "spending money to save money move" thing? Is Beni going to get much more than $13M AAV? I'd rather have him than Garcia for sure. Bring him and Bogey back and it's an olive branch to the fans.
-
Yes, if it's one season, it's no big deal. Him and Soler would be on the books/bench for a while.

1. You still want to get under the luxury tax this season, so why have players on your roster that are overpaid? Sox need to get out of the habit of doing that. 2. Verdugo's advanced metrics from RF last season are NOT good. He probably needs to be put back in LF unless the Sox are going to punt on OF defense. 3. His career OPS+ is 101 which is a far more likely scenario for his age 32 season, but the risk of further 66 seasons is high.

Caleb Hamilton is just a 3rd string guy you have on the roster in case of emergency that you need to call up. You always want a defensive guy who can come in and call a game at a moment's notice. That's not Ronaldo right now. I just wonder if the see Ronaldo in the future. I think Hickey and Brannon could be interesting if they stick at catcher. Scott is a guy, but you even just need org depth. Depth Chart is currently listed as: McGuire Wong Hamilton Hernandez Cottam Scott Marrero Rangel Hickey Erro

He's been mentioned by moon a few times. I don't see it either. $13M isn't a lot of money, but he's not a consistent 2 fWAR guy. He k's a lot. He doesn't walk. His defense is fair. He has a strong arm. His whiff rate is just embarrassing. He's just a worse version of Hunter Renfroe for more money.
-
Sox should ask the the Dodgers if Betts is available. That contract is awfully large. Maybe they'd eat some of it?
-
@SoxProspects Triston Casas went 1-for-1 with an RBI and two walks in last night's Tigres del Licey victory while Enmanuel Valdez went 1-for-2 with an RBI for opposing Toros del Este.
-
Bryan Reynolds has 3 years of control left and could be a good fit, but it would take a trade of approx: Houck, Yorke and Rafaela. Garcia would love hitting at Fenway, but just isn't a high OBP guy. Unsure about his fit with Bloom. Yaz2 is about as slow as Verdugo and has a much weaker arm. If you paired him and Beni in the OF, runners would just circle the bases.
-
Other "notables" or NOT-ables depending: Kiermaier Myers
-
The cupboard was bare at that level, but don't use certain Keith Law descriptors please!
-
Does Laureano really have higher upside at this point AFTER HE WAS SUSPENDED FOR PED'S?
-
Verdugo for Renfroe and Strzelecki (bullpen arm) Sign Beni for LF
-
@mlbtraderumors Eduard Bazardo Elects Free Agency
-
5.03 ERA in 50 innings there. He was young for the level at 20.
-
Maybe 2022, I don't think they would have been ready by 2021.
-
Guys working at WOO in 2020: Downs - coaches were saying that he was looking ok, but would be better when the lights were on (nope) Duran - had just started unleashing some power potential, but was still largely unknown what it would look like in game Dalbec - lots of power, lots of k's, not many AB's in AAA at that point Houck - had split time between starting and relieving at the end of the prior year and his numbers got better in the pen, still a question mark CJ Chatham - he can hit line drives and play average defense maybe Wong - the thought at the time was potential utility guy and unsure if he was a fulltime catcher That was it.
-
Per BTV, it'd take a guy like Wikelman to get Laureano too.
-
I think he could be a 30 HR, 90 RBI, 820 OPS, 3.5-4 fWAR guy. A season like that, especially the HR number, would quell some of the doubts certain folks have.
-
I think Bloom realized the weakness of the farm at the upper levels. Getting a guy like Ort to just help fill in and provide good production and MAYBE be and up and down guy at some point was smart business. Just keep churning those guys. Ort was taken in the same Rule 5 Draft with Tyreque Reed. Reed flatlined this season, but if you free picks to use you may as well use them.
