@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.

Rule 5 deadline is two days away. Sox will be making some moves in the next 48 hours. Have been quiet so far.

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.

Locastro 30.7 (100th percentile) Duran 29.3 Baez 28.6 (same as Franchy) Iggy 28.3 Dalbec 28.2 Arroyo 27.9

I would assume they could pay him the arb and deal him. Just dumping him on the streets seems weird.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.

"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.

"If you know how to cheat, start now."

What is the reason for the non-tender? Just salary? Injury history?

How much does a Brinks truck have?

Steamer projections for Xander Bogaerts: 121 WRC+, 353 OBP, 18% k rate, 4.3 fWAR I pay this guy.
-
Steamer projections for Baez: 94 WRC+, 289 OBP, 29% k rate, 2 fWAR I don't pay that guy 20M.

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
-
That's just a bit. Or not.
-
@JonHeyman Red Sox are among many teams showing interest in Javy Baez, who enhanced his market by showing unusual plate discipline and finishing big with the Mets.
-
If that's the definition, the only "big" deal they may sign this offseason would be an extension for Raffy or Xander.
-
So was Lester, but people wanted him to retire as a Red Sox.
-
Sox lucked into finding a new ownership group that wanted to make a big star studded splash. Beckett was still a good commodity at that time. Crawford was damaged goods, but there was hope that a change of scenery would fix his lagging production.
-
The only thing with that move is lots of Sox fans expected AGon to start launching more homeruns since he was leaving Petco for the friendly confines of Fenway. On the field, he was good enough. He just wasn't a good fit off the field for this market.
-
I think the blueprint would be more towards total budget rather than offseason spend.
-
My only gripe is that if I'm trading Duran, it needs to be for a guy with at least 2 years of control.
