“Baez should get at least $160M, probably more, Taylor may be the best fit for Boston, so I’m looking at maybe Taylor to the Red Sox and the Cubs and Mets more likely for Baez.” - Jon Heyman on MLB Network
During the taping of one of the Sox clubhouse celebrations this year, David Ortiz said on ESPN (in reference to Betts and others leaving the Sox and the Sox turning it around quickly and general team comradery) "I'm not a believer in the importance of the guys who leave, it's about who you bring in." That really struck me.
I think Gray/Bradley/Hernandez would be a decent offseason. I'd rather a higher upside guy in the rotation, but I don't think they are breaking the bank there. I really don't want them to bring in Neris.
Deal for Sean Nolin incoming.
Ricky Nolasco making a comeback?
Daniel Norris isn't really a starter anymore.
Aaron Northcraft and James Norwood don't seem likely.

Pedro Castellanos belted a three-run homer for Cardenales de Lara is their 10-9 loss yesterday. The 23-year-old slugger has been off to a strong start in this year's Venezuelan Winter League batting .324 with five home runs and 13 RBI over 80 PA.
This has always been a kill time at work thing for me. Weekends are for you guys to post whatever horrible things you want to post. I only check in if something major happens.
