    That happened long before the Sox signed JBJ. Sox felt they didn't like ERod's number and they moved on. It had nothing to do with JBJ.
  2. mvp 78
    No.
  3. mvp 78
    Who? And were the Sox linked to that player before the JBJ trade?
  4. mvp 78
    Unless they were planning on the other deal before trading JBJ (i.e. signing Suzuki).
  5. mvp 78
    On who? They weren't linked to any of the top FA SP's.
  6. mvp 78
    I don't see them trading JBJ. I do see them acquiring many more pieces to fill out the roster though. If not, it's because they have extended Raffy and Xander.
  7. mvp 78
    Maybe they see 2022 as a last go at it with Sale, Xander and JD possibly not being part of the plans in 2023?
  8. mvp 78
    What additional features can we buy that will upgrade Wacha? Power steering? Why do you make so many assumptions about what the budget will be? Don't the Sox have a history of going over when they need to?
  9. mvp 78
    What are the moves you'd make that would cause the JBJ trade to make more sense? Signing another OFer? Bringing in a better 2B?
  10. mvp 78
    I'm going on the assumption that Bloom knows how much he has to spend and that he's not going to beat his head against the cap without being prepared for it.

    On one of the Sox Prospects podcasts, they discussed that there is typically a slow down in signings in December anyway. I don't think we're going to really feel the difference until February when ST doesn't start up. Once the crocuses start popping out of the snow and there are no MLB players in Fort Myers, we'll start to feel it more. They are still going to do a non-MLB Spring Training though, right?

    He's overpaid. He doesn't deserve 10M AAV.
  13. mvp 78
    It's hard to grade one trade when the offseason isn't over. We also have no idea what other teams were offering in relation to Renfroe.
  14. mvp 78
    This post should be T Gel for moon's current condition.
  15. mvp 78
    Renfroe's career high in RBI prior to 2021: 68. If you prorate 2020, he averaged 70 RBI per year for the last 5 years. On a per plate appearance basis, Dalbec was more likely to get an RBI than Renfroe. Most of the board is fine with shelving Dalbec once Casas comes up. Why fret about Renfroe?
  16. mvp 78
    Bell, he was in decline! 2018 114 WRC+ 2019 99 WRC+ 2020 78 WRC+
  17. mvp 78
    I don't think Bloom made this trade because he projects them to be on the Opening Day roster in 2023.
  18. mvp 78
    We don't know they wouldn't have paid him 10M for one year. RBI isn't a repeatable skill. JBJ's defensive numbers in 2021 are good and don't indicate that he lost a step.
  19. mvp 78
    I don't see a decline because I believe 2016 is overly inflated and not likely to repeat. What would his 2020 season looked like if it was a full 162 games? We have no idea.
  20. mvp 78
    Would we feel better about this team if JBJ is the fulltime CF, Kiké is fulltime 2B, Verdugo is LF and Seiya Suzuki is RF?
  21. mvp 78
    I'd be more concerned if JBJ's glove was slowing down, but last year he had his best dWAR season since 2017.
  22. mvp 78
    I think I'd rather have an expensive JBJ plus two prospects than a reliever.
  23. mvp 78
    Aside from 2021, where's the decline?
  24. mvp 78
    Steamer has him projected at 650, so no it wouldn't be a surprise. We've also seen the rollercoaster ride with JBJ. You need to ride with him when he's hot and hope his cold stretches don't last. He production can be very volatile.
  25. mvp 78
    Ignore one volcanic season of 2016 and there's no decline. WRC+ by year: 2016 118 2017 89 2018 90 2019 89 2020 119 2021 35 Before 2021, where's the decline, moon? I don't think anyone on here expects JBJ to ever replicate 2016. It seems more like 2016 and 2021 are the aberrations.
