    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?
  2. 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.
  3. mvp 78
    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.
  5. 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.
  6. mvp 78
    This post should be T Gel for moon's current condition.

    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?
  8. mvp 78
    Bell, he was in decline! 2018 114 WRC+ 2019 99 WRC+ 2020 78 WRC+
  9. mvp 78
    I don't think Bloom made this trade because he projects them to be on the Opening Day roster in 2023.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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?
  13. 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.
  14. mvp 78
    I think I'd rather have an expensive JBJ plus two prospects than a reliever.
  15. mvp 78
    Aside from 2021, where's the decline?
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. mvp 78
    I wanted them to sign Stroman more than anything else. They never gave any indication they were going that route. JBJ came at the very end of the last CBA. I don't think the pitching contracts have any impact on JBJ and vice versa.
  19. mvp 78
    It's what people have said.
  20. mvp 78
    They were obviously not comfortable with that ERod deal. If you ignore FIP, I can see some of the concerns. It's a lot of guaranteed money for a guy who is only a 3rd of 4th starter.
  21. mvp 78
    1. They are taking on the contract for only 2 years, not the full 3 the Brewers signed him to. 2. The value of the prospects matters regardless if the ever play in Boston. 3. The trade for JBJ shouldn't have any affect on who else Bloom signs. It's clear he wasn't going to nab top tier SP talent this year. They weren't even linked to anybody before the deal came about. 4. The offseason is not over. Bloom has more work to do.
  22. mvp 78
    Some would even say that Mookie for Verdugo straight up would have been a good deal. Getting Downs and Wong are just a bonus. Also, I believe Wong had the highest WAR/162 for any catcher on the Sox. Seems like not liking him is weird!
  23. mvp 78
    It's not about being giddy. It's about knowing the inherent value of having a bunch of guys in your system. Most won't pan out! However, you have a pipeline to keep payroll costs down. You have a pipeline because the players are fungible assets that you can deal at the deadline to bolster your MLB team.
  24. mvp 78
    I've already go a TRADE JBJ thread in my drafts, but at least give him some credit. One bad year isn't always a sign that the player will never be good again. Maybe the switch to the new league was a bigger adjustment than he thought it would be? Maybe he'll be more comfortable back in Fenway? I'm sure he's going to get a big pop on Opening Day from the fans.
  25. mvp 78
    At this point, Sale opting out would be a good thing. I'm not sure he's worth the contract going forward.
