  1. FO is saying they'll sign 13-14, so maybe they do intend on going over way over slot for Green. IDK. I think it's more likely they sign 18-19 and don't get Green.
  2. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/team/boston-red-sox-111?view=statcast&nav=running&season=2021 Dalbec is faster than Kiké, Xander, Raffy, Verdugo, Arroyo...
  3. Teams only get a set amount of money to sign their draftees. The first few rounds have picks that are given a slot value. The first overall pick gives the team like 8.5M towards their slot. The Sox had 6.6M for the 4th overall pick. If a player wants over slot, you have less money to give the other picks. If you sign a guy under slot, you have more money to spend on other picks. Some guys fall because they have a high $ demand. Some guys go earlier because they’ll take under slot. For example, Jud Fabian in the 2nd round probably wants over slot because he was projected to go in the first round. Players are more likely to go back to school after being picked so they do have some leverage.
  4. Marcelo Mayer just hit one into the Red Sox bullpen. So there’s that.
  5. @alexspeier Per MLB source, Mayer is signing for slot recommendation for No 4 overall pick.
  6. Marcelo Mayer signed at slot, reportedly. Today is a good day. Let's f***ing go!
  7. That's basically slot? If they don't have to go over slot for him, they are going to sign everyone they want to.
  8. @chadjennings22 I'm told the Red Sox and Marcelo Mayer agreed on a contract at slot, which is -- I believe -- a little more than $6.6 million Hubba wuh?
  9. @chadjennings22 Mayer, by the way, is wearing a No. 10 Red Sox jersey for the signing. Lots of hugs and photos. Text from a team official: "I mean, we aren't exactly being subtle about this."
  10. @ChrisCotillo Danny Santana going to the IL.
  11. @SoxProspects Per the @WooSox game notes, RHP Connor Seabold will be activated from his rehab assignment in the Florida Complex League and start for Worcester tomorrow night.
  12. https://twitter.com/chadjennings22/status/1418292672658386950
  13. 1 CF Enrique Hernandez 2 3B Rafael Devers 3 SS Xander Bogaerts 4 DH J.D. Martinez 5 RF Hunter Renfroe 6 C Christian Vazquez 7 LF Alex Verdugo 8 1B Bobby Dalbec 9 2B Michael Chavis
  14. If Houck wins tonight, let's put a moratorium on "the Sox can't develop starters" until his next start at least.
  15. GM's are idiots. We've always known this.
  16. Porcello was great, er former CY Young winner Porcello.
  17. His glove is way to good. For a playoff team, it's beneficial to have a late inning defensive replacement like him around.
  18. Yes, but we just love fighting about the 25th/26th man on the club. They should be an All Star instead.
  19. I think it's because Whitlock has more innings. I'm not sure the other reasons bWAR calculated it out that way. Barnes has better xFIP, k/bb, k%.
  20. Barnes 1.8 fWAR Whitlock 0.9 fWAR bWAR is fake.
  21. Santana eval: always injured or medicore
  22. Yes. I was told that he'd be a downgrade in CF (not by moon), but he's been pretty good.
  23. @ChrisCotillo Franchy Cordero expected to join Red Sox today, source says. No move official yet.
  24. A hot streak will take that to 2000 OPS easy. He's been unlucky!
