  1. Cora getting 5th is an embarrassment, especially behind Montoyo.
  2. Cottam and Wong have a similar outlook, especially since Wong no longer is seen as a UTIL guy.
  3. I don't think Plawecki is traded. They either keep him around for Eovaldi or they dump him.
  4. If I was GM, I just wouldn't have taken Vaz's option.
  5. @mlbtraderumors Raisel Iglesias To Reject Qualifying Offer We've talked about him on here, but I think his contract will be larger than Bloom wants for that position.
  6. Yes. It would be weird to have 5 C's on the 40 man, so they either move Wong or Plawecki or don't add Cottam. I just have a funny feeling that they are going to keep Cottam.
  7. Move Connor Wong in a trade? Non-tender Plawecki?
  8. @IanCundall Brayan Bello and Jeter Downs are locks to be added. Josh Winckowski and Kutter Crawford are near-locks to be added, and I would be very surprised if they weren't. All four of those players have a realistic chance of helping the MLB team next year. After those four, I think there are nine players who you could make a case for in either direction: Thaddeus Ward, Gilberto Jimenez, Ceddanne Rafaela, Victor Santos, Durbin Feltman, Zack Kelly, Frank German, Ryan Fitzgerald and Kole Cottam. Right now I think at least two, and potentially up to four, of those players could be protected. Also, if the Red Sox look to make a trade before the deadline, I'd expect it to be from this group, since whoever doesn't get protected would have a decent chance to get selected. I would go: Bello Downs Winckowski Crawford Cottam Feltman Santos There are currently 7 spots open. They could add those guys without dropping anyone. I think Hudson Potts, Jeisson Rosario, Phillips Valdez and Austin Davis are DFA candidates.
  9. Rule 5 deadline is two days away. Sox will be making some moves in the next 48 hours. Have been quiet so far.
  10. I don't know if it was even the adjustment to AAA that he struggle with. He had an OPS above 700 from May - June, but had a horrific July and August. Maybe it was just the year off from COVID affected his concentration or stamina during the middle of the season? IDK.
  11. Locastro 30.7 (100th percentile) Duran 29.3 Baez 28.6 (same as Franchy) Iggy 28.3 Dalbec 28.2 Arroyo 27.9
  12. I would assume they could pay him the arb and deal him. Just dumping him on the streets seems weird.
  13. Downs turned it around towards the end of the season and has looked solid in the AFL. People shouldn't write him off just yet.
  14. Maeda was great in a season we didn't need him (2020) and bad in a season we would have needed him (2021). Nothing of value was lost.
  15. It's why Dalbec may peak at one of the fastest runners on the team, but will always be towards the bottom in home to 1b.
  16. "The key step for an infielder is the first one, to the left or right, but before the ball is hit." Seems like Weaver would be a proponent of shifting.
  17. "If you know how to cheat, start now."
  18. What is the reason for the non-tender? Just salary? Injury history?
  19. https://www.dailydot.com/unclick/anyway-heres-wonderwall-meme/
  20. Baseball America's Top 10 Red Sox Prospects 1. Marcelo Mayer 2. Triston Casas 3. Nick Yorke 4. Jarren Duran 5. Brayan Bello 6. Jeter Downs 7. Blaze Jordan 8. Bryan Mata 9. Josh Winckowski 10. Jay Groome
  21. How much does a Brinks truck have?
  22. Steamer projections for Xander Bogaerts: 121 WRC+, 353 OBP, 18% k rate, 4.3 fWAR I pay this guy.
  23. Steamer projections for Baez: 94 WRC+, 289 OBP, 29% k rate, 2 fWAR I don't pay that guy 20M.
  24. I thought it would be this: @Dejan_Kovacevic BREAKING: Source tells me Penguins will be sold to Fenway Sports Management, owner of Red Sox, and Liverpool FC, but that Mario Lemieux will retain a minority stake. Ron Burkle won't. He's out. Upper management, including David Morehouse, will stay
