@Sean_McAdam 2B Dustin Pedroia is retiring, will be paid in full on final year of contract. Pedroia will be made available to the media this afternoon. @SPChrisHatfield So based on this, it sounds like what is technically happening is Pedroia is being released, then retiring. Which makes sense.

@ChrisCotillo Pedroia will address the media at 1:30 p.m.

Which is why I think the Sox would need to be bowled over to give up Vaz. He's not expensive and his contract goes through next year. If they really think they can be close to contention this year and then in the hunt next year, why give Vaz away?

https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2021/02/dustin-pedroia-retirement.html Red Sox second baseman and former American League MVP Dustin Pedroia announced his retirement from baseball Monday. The 37-year-old was still under contract for the 2021 season but had managed to play in just nine games over the past three seasons due to a string of devastating knee injuries that required multiple surgeries. “Dustin is so much more than his American League Most Valuable Player award, his All-Star Game selections, and the Gold Gloves he amassed throughout his impressive 17-year career in our organization,” Red Sox owner John Henry said in a press release announcing the move. “Dustin came to represent the kind of grit, passion, and competitive drive that resonates with baseball fans everywhere and especially with Red Sox fans. He played the game he loves in service to our club, its principles and in pursuit of championships. Most of all we are forever grateful to him for what he brought to our club and to our region as an important role model showing all of us how much one can accomplish with determination and hard work.”

Pillar would be brought in to be the 4th OFer in this situation as they would platoon him with Renfroe and start Kiké in CF. If they don't grab a 2b, it'd be Arroyo. I agree that it's likely this happens (or some form) and they only add the OFer above and some leftover reliever.

Big if true.
-
Pete Abraham said it'd be done by the end of January.
-
Pedroia isn't retiring?
-
Good since he started off slow this winter.

Red Sox INTERESTED in Workman reunion.

What if he was just the 7th inning guy? Melancon - 7 Ottavino - 8 Barnes - 9 You can flip flop Ottavino and Barnes based on matchups. Maybe even DHern steps up and becomes a force and takes over in the 8th or 9th?

I will always stan the 2010 Red Sox. https://twitter.com/MLBVault/status/1355222146507825153 -
@PeteAbe Cashman says MLB teams still not sure how many players and staff can be invited to spring training, what the protocols will be, etc. Says MLB/MLBPA are working it out and there's only general guidance to this point. Well, it is almost February. No cause for alarm! This season is not starting on time. No way. Owners want to play less games and then cry poor during the CBA negotiations in the fall/winter.
-
I agree with you. Maybe we see video of him throwing in May, but that's about it. They could rehab him by having him work out of the pen? IDK.
-
Logan Allen hasn't shown much in the past 3 years. Dubon seems to be a UTIL guy, not an everyday starter.
-
I agree that they aren't too far off. Too much stock has been put into 2020 numbers for Beni and JD. Also, this pitching staff should be average rather than bottom 5. A top offense and average pitching gets them into WC contention.
-
According to WEEI's Rob Bradford, rehabbing starter Chris Sale (elbow) experienced "a setback around the holidays due to neck stiffness." The good news is that Sale has already resumed throwing on flat ground as he continues his long road to recovery from Tommy John surgery, but this neck issue helps to explain why he has not yet gotten on a mound. He had the reconstructive elbow procedure in March and probably won't be an option for the Red Sox rotation until sometime this May. The 31-year-old left-hander is under contract with the Red Sox through 2024.
-
Sox should have paid that.
-
If AB becomes fulltime again, they'll need a RF platoon for Renfroe.
-
Ryun also turns 34 this season. It has to go downhill at some point.
-
Rowdy seemed to play well whenever I saw him last year.
-
Jays rotation: Ryu Ray Pearson Roark Stripling Sox rotation: Eovaldi Erod Richards Perez Pivetta (Sale midseason) Aside from Sale, Ryu is the best pitcher listed. However, the Sox rotation has a good chance to be better than the Jays. Either rotation could exceed projections or even just turn to s***.

The only issue was they made a mistake in signing him as a pitcher. In retrospect, they should have just thrown him in the OF. At the time, they signed him for his "athleticism" not because of his pitching. The draft is always a crapshoot. Sometimes they've hedged their bets and went for safe picks like Deven Marrero, but I'd rather them just go for the high upside guys every time.
