Seemed long enough to me. Or maybe it's been repeated so often that it just feels long.
-
Oh, no.
-
Yes.
-
You can add it to the list of grievances when the time comes if Ward succeeds elsewhere.
-
The nontender deadline is generally the date where nothing really happens anyway. Brasier was bottom 3% in hard hit and bottom 5% in exit velo. His good stretches were solely due to luck. At 35, it's safe to let him go away as he's now due for a raise in arbitration.

Scouts drink the Kookaid more.

You know why.

https://blogs.fangraphs.com/bostons-thad-ward-should-draw-interest-in-the-rule-5-draft/ Thad Ward should be of interest to several teams come next month’s Rule 5 draft. Currently no. 15 on our Boston Red Sox prospect rankings with a 40+ FV, the 25-year-old right-hander wasn’t added to the club’s 40-man roster — a decision that left Eric Longenhagen “a tad surprised.” Our lead prospect analyst explained that Ward “looked good in the Arizona Fall League, locating 92-94 mph fastballs while mixing in two above-average breaking balls… [and] looks like a possible bulk relief fit right now.”

@MacCerullo Today is MLB's tender deadline, and with a full 40-man roster the #RedSox could make some cuts to clear space for future free agent signings. Who might be on the chopping block? Some possible non-tender candidates. Taylor - Arb eligible and perpetually injured, they probably keep him around, projected 1.1M Brasier - Arb is projected 2.3M, should be nontendered Chang - Unless Arroyo is leaving, what is the purpose of keeping an arb eligible guy like Chang around? Cordero - Arb eligible at 1.5M, time to let him be free DHern - lots of potential, probably sticks around another year IMO

Senga instead of Eovaldi. Correa instead of Bogey and an OFer?
-
They are very planned. Grossly planned sometimes.
-
Not that reasonable if another team wanted to give him 20% more.
-
They are the yahoos.
-
I don't think the leaks were coming from the baseball ops side, it was from the ownership level (aka John Henry, Tom Werner).
-
For the trades and early draft rounds, sure. I don't think the GM really has much of a clue once you get deep into the farm system or later rounds of a draft. Scouts may remember, but GMs won't.
-
The guys that changed are at the top. The bones still seem to be the same.
-
If they offered more than 300M, they would have told us. This ownership group leaks worse than my old shed.
-
Or 350m?
-
I'm not complaining. If we keep refining the conversation, maybe we'll get better at it.
-
Per BTV Quantrill for Wikelman Gonzalez Seabold
-
The organization is very similar to what it was back in 2016. Whether the guys who scouted Cal are still there or not, it's hard to know.
-
Once an OFer is pitching, he's no longer and OFer, he's actually a pitcher by rule.
-
There's comfort in having this same conversation again.
-
Without that counteroffer from ownership, we'll never know unfortunately.
-
I would have signed Montero for that because he would have been the closer in BOS. Diaz was a lot of money and wasn't leaving NY. The worst contract though was Suarez for 5/46, a 32 year old with less than 50 career MLB innings. That's crazy to me.
