    Including playoffs and spring training?
  2. mvp 78
    Well, for the Red Sox it appears to be a cold stove.
  3. mvp 78
    The only good thing about putting Matz in the rotation would be the cost savings. He's just not very reliable though and has a very low ceiling. His numbers were similar to ERod last year, but he's just not a guy you can pencil in every 5th day.
  4. mvp 78
    Many smart people are saying this.
  5. mvp 78
    Not a good sign for this offseason then.
  6. mvp 78
    If Vaz didn't get the option picked up, they could've grabbed him. Oh well.
  7. mvp 78
    He's a FB/SL guy who can throw some junk against LHP. His FB gets a little bit of movement, but has a wOBA above 400 and a run value 16 in 2021. I don't think his stuff plays up very much. IMO, he's an expensive 3. Rockies offered him 3/40 and he didn't take it. My guess is he's gonna get something in the 14-15AAV range.
  8. mvp 78
    Yup.
  9. mvp 78
    I meant "maybe they re-sign Taylor."
  10. mvp 78
    They didn't want to be on the hook for 18M for one year I guess.
  11. mvp 78
    I cannot.
  12. mvp 78
    My only guess is that they saw the opportunity cost of not being able to negotiate an extension in Sept/Oct was greater than the returns they were being offered. Maybe they really thought he'd sign an extension before FA hit? IDK. They did extend Cron prior to FA.
  13. mvp 78
    If the Sox truly believed that they both could be effective long term starters, they both would be put into the rotation. I think one of the stays in the pen just because their peak value is not in the rotation.
  14. mvp 78
    I'm guessing the Garrett Richards and Martin Perez money?
  15. mvp 78
    Why did the Rockies hold onto Jon Gray at the deadline, but not give him a QO after? What a waste.
  16. mvp 78
    Dodgers could get two picks, but will likely sign a QO guy. Maybe Taylor?
  17. mvp 78
    No decision on Syndergaard yet?
  18. mvp 78
    It wouldn't be a one for one trade. It could be something like Castillo and Moustakas (plus eating some salary) for Casas.
  19. mvp 78
    I've seen the play was probably to replace ERod with Matz if ERod didn't sign. He should be much cheaper than the QO.
  20. mvp 78
    Yes, I misworded.
  21. mvp 78
    I could see them trading anyone but Mayer right now and I could talk myself into liking it.

    @SoxProspects Pedro Castellanos went 3-for-4 with two doubles (4) in yesterday's 4-1 Cardenales de Lara loss. The 23-year-old slugger has been on a roll since the start of the Venezuelan Winter League slashing .288/.315/.558 with four home runs over 54 PA. This is a guy who showed lots of BP power, but never really found it in game. 15 HR in 321 games from 2016-2019. He had a career high 13 this year at Portland. The only problem is that he also had a career low in doubles. He's 6'3" and not athletic. Future 1B/DH who was pushed to the OF in 2021 because the doesn't have an organizational path forward at 1B. Current 49th ranked prospect who peaked at #16 prior to 2018 season.
  23. mvp 78
    I don't see Verdugo as a cornerstone. He's much more of a complimentary player. He showed a big spark in 2020, but 2021 was underwhelming IMO.
  24. mvp 78
    ERod's new contract is back loaded so that it's less likely he'll opt out.
  25. mvp 78
    Stroman pitched pretty well in front of the Mets fans this year.
