    Rodon is interesting on a short term deal. They could always go under next year if they wanted to reset again. Xander is opting out. JD will be gone.
  2. mvp 78
    I just don't see it.
  3. mvp 78
    Kevin Pillar. I thought the Sox would try to bring him back last year. They didn't. He fits the profile of a guy they could use though.
  4. mvp 78
    I like Bradley. I'm not familiar with Drake or Suero.

    Now there is a non sequitur! I thought I was the only one that used those..............................
  6. mvp 78
    The Iggy amount is too high then. The others should be close enough.
  7. mvp 78
    I'm terrible at contract amounts, but those are my WAGS.

    Sox still need an OF bat, 2B/SS backup and a few pitchers. Here's who I would target: McCutchen 1/7 Iggy 2/8 Mychal Givens 1/3 Ottavino 1/5 McHugh 1/3

    @BeyondtheMnstr The Red Sox are one of a few teams interested in signing free agent lefty Carlos Rodon

    If the owners put their fingers in the air, they'd realize that locking out the players does more harm than good with these negotiations. They should have just temporarily extended the terms of the previous CBA and continued on with the offseason.

    Players took a little beating last time around.
  13. mvp 78
    That doesn't sound fun at all.

    Also, it's this Chad Tracy: https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=tracy-002cha Not this one: https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/t/tracych01.shtml

    You may ask, "but what does this do for me?" @PeteAbe There were indications this hire could somewhat coincide with the MLB team naming a new 1B coach and an additional hitting coach.

    @jcmccaffrey Red Sox make their Triple-A Worcester coaching hirings official: Chad Tracy, manager José David Flores, bench coach Mike Montville, assistant hitting coach Paul Abbott (pitching coach) and Rich Gedman (hitting coach) will resume their roles on the Worcester coaching staff

    Tracy's dad was in consideration to be hired as bench coach for Cora in 2018.
  18. mvp 78
    @ChrisCotillo Can confirm: WooSox are naming Chad Tracy as their new manager. He was the Angels’ minor league field coordinator. Official announcement expected soon. @JoeyMacHockey first.

    https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2021/12/major-league-portion-of-rule-5-draft-canceled.html It was reported initially as being "cancelled" but within a few hours it was changed to "postponed indefinitely."

    MLB Trade Rumors doesn't break news. They are just a news aggregator. They are only as reliable as whatever tweet they are getting their info from.
  21. mvp 78
    They drafted him for minor league depth. They have no obligation to put him on the 40 man/active roster like they did with Whitlock.
  22. mvp 78
    Me.
  23. mvp 78
    Yes, Heyman is not a good source.
  24. mvp 78
    Also, the picks are less valuable in MLB since you cannot trade them.
  25. mvp 78
    I don't believe the problem is as rampant in MLB. The teams that are at the bottom are trying to rebuild, but it's hardly ever going to be turned around by one draft selection. I don't think MLB's draft is comparable to NBA or NFL. Picks are almost always years away from helping a team. The difference in pick #1 and pick #2 is usually miniscule. With NBA and NFL, there are typically standout players that teams are trying to actually tank for. In MLB, teams are tanking to save money, not to acquire a certain pick in the draft.
