    They'd be able to trade him at some point. Maybe get Casas healthy or see KC start to mash and then deal. Right now, they are kind of stuck with an albatross contract that other orgs laughed at when it was signed.
  2. mvp 78
    No, they should be a mediocre to bad hitter. Maybe a guy that could barely hit 12-15 HR's if he eating all his Wheaties.
  3. mvp 78
    They would get rid of him, not because he's a fulltime DH, but because he's an overpaid mediocre to bad fulltime DH (24th in wRC+ for DH's '23-25).

    Bobby Dalbec 20-21 per 162: 29 2b/3b, 34 HR, 114 OPS+ Vientos 24-25 per 162: 31 2b/3b, 31 HR, 115 OPS+

    Massive DH contracts have always been an exception. Papi never really got paid. Nelson Cruz was always a year to year guy. Guys like JD Martinez and Schwarber are almost unicorns in that they are fulltime DH's that got PAID.

    Don't trade Duran just because you have a payroll problem with Masa. Fix the payroll problem. You have big pockets. Move Masa and throw money in the deal.
  7. mvp 78
    I think there are a few guys aside from Schwarber that show that it's more than just exceptions: Ozuna, Rooker, Yandy, Raffy and even Suzuki who is only 31 (and is still a decent OF defender per the metrics).
  8. mvp 78
    Half the league basically has fulltime DH's. The other half doesn't have someone good enough on their roster to be a fulltime DH.
  9. mvp 78
    Acquire one guy, start Mayer at the other position. That seems like what is going to happen. Duran is most likely going to be a Red Sox on Opening Day considering the reports we've heard and I'm fine with it. Either trade him for a haul of prospects or keep him around IMO.
  10. mvp 78
    Aside from hitting the ball hard, it's not a profile the Sox are interested in right now.
  11. mvp 78
    If he's putting up those types of numbers, he gets called up TBH. Seems unlikely to be traded unless another team is overvaluing him right now.
  12. mvp 78
    I think Vientos is a 1b only guy now and his bat isn't very good. Seems like he has AAAA written all over him and is more of a thrown in for a larger deal.
  13. mvp 78
    Cora likes Eaton's VERSATILITY so he seems like a lock to me.
  14. mvp 78
    Why would they trade a prospect for Vientos?

    Having a current issue where the screen is just flashing when using Chrome and logged in. The only time it doesn't do it is when the "sign up for talk sox in your email" pop up comes from the bottom of the screen. Not sure if it has to do with the ads or that pop up.
  16. mvp 78
    Don't see them going below the cap this year. Doesn't make sense to with the current CBA expiring.
  17. mvp 78
    If they don't trade Duran, Abreu will still platoon. KC could be a RHB OFer eventually, but it won't be at the start of the year. If he was ready and able, Masa would be out of the picture. There would also be less handwringing about the missing bat.
  18. mvp 78
    If it was a best of 3, they wouldn't have advanced past CLE and only scored 3 runs that series.
  19. mvp 78
    I'm not the one making the lineup cards or the statement of Eaton's abilities to the media.
  20. mvp 78
    Abreu doesn't hit vs LHP. Yankees started Fried and Rodon in the Games 1 and 2. Abreu started against Schlittelr and k'd twice with one weak popout to 3b.
  21. mvp 78
    1999 Red Sox
  22. mvp 78
    If Mayer is a starter on Opening day, there's a good chance one of those guys would be on your playoff starting roster again. Unsure about the health luck with Breggie/Anthony/Abreu/Story or others.
  23. mvp 78
    I wasn't the guy talking, it was Cora. 🫠
  24. mvp 78
    The 2025 BOS DH numbers included the last 90 games. Why would we exclude Devers if we are looking at comparing year to year?
  25. mvp 78
    JH won't give Skubal a blank check.
