    There's also a club option for '27 with Yandy. 😍

    We don't know if they even actively pursued Naylor. There aren't reports of it. The only person reporting that the Sox have current interest is INSIDER Jim Bowden. 🤮

    I wouldn't keep Sogard over Hamilton. Sogard is the 40th guy on your 40 man. He's there because he can play a bunch of positions adequately and won't be completely embarrassing at the plate. He is the ultimate replacement level player. I think the better question is Nate Eaton or Nick Sogard?

    Stanley Tucker and Luis Perales listed as "Fall Stars" in the AFL. https://www.mlb.com/milb/news/2025-arizona-fall-league-fall-stars-game-rosters?t=arizona-fall-league-coverage

    I don't believe he's DFA worthy, just mentioning that he has more stuff to work on in regards to his sweeper/slider.
  6. mvp 78
    Added or traded. Definitely taken in the Rule 5 if unprotected.
  7. mvp 78
    Who cares? Bassitt is no longer one "of the best pitchers." His ceiling is third starter. If everybody throws a splitter, batters will catch up the same way they did with sweepers.
  8. mvp 78
    Guerrero is young and far from MLB ready. He was still working on his pitch mix this season. Really only has one above average pitch. Maybe I got hit in the head and didn't realize it, but I think I'm coming around on Hamilton. 234 BABIP in '25 seems a little unlucky to me. 🙃
  9. mvp 78
    They'd have to trade for one, so that doesn't make sense IMO. The Dalton Rushing trade scenario is not happening.
  10. mvp 78
    If the Sox liked Alonso, they would have made an attempt to sign him last year while they were shopping Casas. I don't think there's any chance they pursue him this offseason regardless of Breggie's status.
  11. mvp 78
    I like Naylor's makeup, but not his swing. If he was a RHB, I'd bring him on. Schwarber has barely played any 1b and it was pretty brutal when we watched it in BOS.
  12. mvp 78
    Didn't Heaney get DFA'd at the end of the year. Don't think the Sox have any interest there.
  13. mvp 78
    Sox need front end guys. Not sure there is a reason to add more back end guys if they believe Dobbins et al will be healthy to start the season.
  14. mvp 78
    That is definitely not true right now.
  15. mvp 78
    He's thrown a splitter the past three years, but it has had a negative run value each year. Bad pitch! He has 8 pitches that he throws, but should reduce it to about 5 or 6 IMO. The splitter and slider haven't been good pitches for him the past few years.
  16. mvp 78
    C'mon now...
  17. mvp 78
    Guys that could be let go without an issue: Criswell Hicks (won't be due to $) Houck (won't be due to ceiling) Kelly (won't be as he has an option) Moran Winckowski Eaton (won't be as he has an option) Grissom Lowe Sogard (won't be as he has options) All those guys are VERY replaceable.
  18. mvp 78
    So he pays to have two DHs? That doesn't seem likely to me. JH wants to spend as little as possible per win. Having an 18M guy on the bench is less than ideal.
  19. mvp 78
    500M? How much do you think his contract was? If he was a FA, he'd certainly get 6/180 or whatever is currently left on his deal.
  20. mvp 78
    The pieces are good enough to get them to the playoffs if they bring everyone back (Breggie, Refsnyder, Matz). What are the next steps? They need a big RHB for 1B. They need better MIF defense (Mayer to SS, Story to 2B). Deal Abreu/Duran for a #2. Continued progression of Tolle and Early. Even with all of that, they still are behind the Dodgers. They don't have the generational talent the Dodgers have unless some of these guys take MASSIVE leaps next year. We know JH isn't going to shell out money to even compete with the likes of Toronto. The only other way to beat the Dodgers is to hope for poor injury luck out in LA. Sit here and root for Ohtani to blow out his elbow again? What fun is that? I'd rather Ohtani win 10 straight MVP's and then tell my grandkids what it was like watching the greatest player of all time.
  21. mvp 78
    Which may not make the Sox a good fit!
  22. mvp 78
    A lot of people expected his stuff to project as a back end guy before last season. Maybe he's just regressing to that? IDK.
  23. mvp 78
    Where does Masa go? What happens to the $? I don't see JH eating more than one year of his salary. I think they are stuck with him through the trade deadline at least.
  24. mvp 78
    We've all heard it before. At the time of the injury, there were a few people who spoke up about how serious it could be. I looked into other MLBers who had it and the players who made it back to 100% were few and far between. With his body type, it doesn't seem likely to me. I'm hopeful, but not going to be delusional about his chances. Right? I really like Casas's vibe and want him to be successful here. I'm just saying this injury makes it less likely.

    That's not a crunch, that's mushier than a bowl of fruity pebbles after it has sat in milk for a minute.
