You see, in harmony's world: Mariner's good, Red Sox bad.
Mariners have a bottom 5 system and the Sox have a top 10 system, but the Sox just don't have anything that Mariners could possibly want!
Padres inquired about Bogaerts to see if they'd be able to move him around. He said no. My guess is that prevents them from making an offer.
If he's adamant about Bogey staying at SS for the contract, it's going to limit the amount of teams that will bid on him.
Tanner Houck? Why would the Sox trade him for the expiring contracts of Flexen and Winker.
Even just Alex Verdugo for Flexen and Winker is considered and overpay for the Sox.
Not really since Abreu was the Sox #1 target regardless of how I felt about it. Sox are getting the rug pulled out from under them right now. It's a little embarrassing.
It's the largest FA contract the Rays have signed, but the AAV is lower than Morton's 2/30 back in 2018. It's a weirdly backloaded deal where they'll probably unload him after 2024 anyway.
Some of us knew of him last week. I think he would have been an interesting addition, but I'd rather them spend money on higher value starting arms like Senga and Kluber. The context is that this comes on the heels of the Sox apparently also missing out on #1 target Jose Abreu. It just makes them look a little silly right now.
I wouldn't be all that excited if the Sox grabbed Eflin and Abreu for those contracts.
87th in fWAR for starters in 2022 even though he through 180 innings. I'd put him as a 4th starter for the 2023 Sox.
If Pivetta was a FA looking for Taijuan Walker $$$, I'd pass.
