    @ChrisCotillo Marwin Gonzalez is expected to be in Fort Myers for his physical by the middle of the week, depending on weather-related travel delays. Once he passes that, his 1-year, $3M deal with the Red Sox will be official. Springs, you're on the clock.

    Unless they are getting someone else to be in the OF.

    I was without power for a few days when the temp went below zero. It was brutal. We had to put blankets up in the doorways of the living room and just burn stacks of wood in the fire place. Even then, it was a miserable experience. Though my kids look back on those few days fondly due to us "camping out" on the floor in the living room. Good luck.

    That's why I put the last part in. He's only coming up when he's going to be the starter.

    Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe reports that free agent outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. "remains a possibility" for the Mets. This could be contingent upon the designated hitter returning to the National League, which hasn't happened yet. There's still a decent chance it will happen -- everybody seemingly wants it -- but the Mets can't bank on that and complicate their roster. The Red Sox keep being mentioned for a possible reunion after trading Andrew Benintendi and the Astros have always looked like a good fit. It will be interesting to see if Bradley waits out the DH situation or simply tries to settle in somewhere. The only way JBJ comes back is if his market tanks. Looks like he may have made a misstep in going for a 5 year deal. Maybe he'll be the guy at the end of musical chairs with no place to sit. If he comes back to the Sox then, he's probably going to be a little cranky all year (think: Eck hating era of JBJ).

    I want Renfroe and Frenchy to launch some bombs. JD needs to come back to pre-2020 levels. Devers could get close to an MVP run. Kiké should be fun to watch no matter what. Dalbec will always have easy power. Verdugo is the key to making 2021 entertaining though. He's a good young player with a vibrant personality.

    I heard one of the podcasts say that Barnes and Ottavino will swap closing based on who is coming up in the order. Makes sense in theory, but in practice pitchers seem to prefer defined. roles.

    @redsoxpayroll Boston currently has the 2nd highest CBT number (~$207MM) in baseball behind the Dodgers.

    (x) doubt I bet the Mets player will be named by mid May. The other two directly from the Royals may drag out, but I bet they'll all be here by ASB.
  10. mvp 78
    I think it was reported that they sent lists of players to Royals and Mets that they wanted to scout further (probably agreed to since there was no MiLB season last year). Maybe they watch them in ST and need to select them by Opening Day or sometime early in the season.

    Also, the rumors going around are that they are still looking to add another MLB reliever. The pen should be more of a strength than a sieve.

    @ChrisCotillo Royals AGM JJ Picollo says here that KC and the Red Sox made a 2-team deal involving Benintendi and Khalil Lee and then Red Sox informed KC they were flipping Lee to the Mets. Red Sox were the middle man; KC and NYM didn't talk directly. If this is the case, the PTBNL from NYM should be substantial. Otherwise, it's a deal of Lee for Winckowski and something underwhelming. At that point, wouldn't you just keep Lee?
  14. mvp 78
    That's why he can be a closer. I think Barnes falters. They keep Ottavino in the 8th and DHern slides up to the 9th.
  15. mvp 78
    When your k/9 is above 16, you can be effectively wild. I think his bb/9 gets to about 5.5.
  16. mvp 78
    Verdugo should become a fan favorite this year. The further we get away from the Betts deal, the more we'll be able to enjoy Verdugo. My breakout guy is going to be DHern who I think will be the closer by midseason.
  17. mvp 78
    It better be.
  18. mvp 78
    He's trying to clean the mess up. Not sure if he's made the right moves so far, but time will tell.
  19. mvp 78
    Not hope to improve? They were 12 months removed from winning 108 games with the same core.
  20. mvp 78
    I guess if they want Arroyo at 2b.
  21. mvp 78
    No way they are worse than 2020, right?
  22. mvp 78
    Probably.
  23. mvp 78
    Franchy. Well, that’s what I’d do. I’d also sign a guy to play CF.
  24. mvp 78
    I thought that was last year?
  25. mvp 78
    He throws innings. Sox will lose a pitcher or two to the IL.
