    Why would you only want them on one year deals if you're going to lose draft picks?

    @jonmorosi Source: Free agent Corey Kluber will throw for @MLB teams on January 13 in Florida. The #RedSox are among the teams with interest. @MLBNetwork

    @IanCundall Gossett is an intriguing depth signing for the Red Sox. In 2018, FB avg. 93 mph and had an above-average spin rate, but the pitch was hit hit hard. Pre-TJ, he threw SL 30% of the time & CB/CH He will likely head to Worcester to start the year in what could be a very deep rotation with Bryan Mata, Connor Seabold, Chris Mazza, Kyle Hart and Ryan Weber already projected to start there.

    The trade was Cooper or Bagwell. Sox made the wrong call. Could have sweetened a Cooper deal probably, but we'll never know. Bagwell was a higher rated prospect at the time. I remember hearing that Bagwell was destined for 1b. Could have just moved Mo to DH. It would have prevented us seeing the George Bell slam, but we'd be better for it.

    @BNightengale Starter Daniel Gossett, who was drafted 10 years ago by the Boston #RedSox only to go to Clemson and pitch for the Oakland #A's,signs a minor-league contract with the Red Sox. He last pitched in the big leagues in 2018 before undergoing TJ surgery, and was released in July by A's

    Dave Dombrowski must have been building that pen.
  7. mvp 78
    So Carlos Quintana wasn't an issue either??? The biggest reason was that they had a horrible bullpen and their window was closing for the group that included the last remnants of the 86 team (Evans, Boggs, Clemens, Buckner) and were on pace for 90+ wins. Maybe should have kept Lee Smith rather than trading for Bruno.
  8. mvp 78
    Ok?
  9. mvp 78
    I don't buy that reasoning. Cooper was still in AAA when Bagwell was traded. Boggs may have been the bigger issue.
  10. mvp 78
    What were the original terms Tom Gordon signed for?
  11. mvp 78
    Off the top of my head: Saberhagen's 3 year deal in 94. Jeff Reardon signed a 3 year deal as well.
  12. mvp 78
    I would say that was the mid/late 90's flop. Suppan was drafted in 93 and stupidly rushed to BOS, Pavano and Rose were drafted in 94 (neither made it to AAA until 97). The best pitcher of the bunch (Pavano) was flipped to MON for some skinny RHP who had previously been dealt for Delino Deshields.

    Also, FAKE NEWS ALERT: Pedroia didn't win the award, he was just a finalist. Other finalists: Jered Weaver - winner Wade Townsend Huston Street Stephen Head Both Townsend and Head had unremarkable careers (problems with the conversion from college to pro diamonds?).
  14. mvp 78
    Beni won it too. Wasn't for his D.
  15. mvp 78
    Reds won't trade him until after 2022.
  16. mvp 78
    Verdugo could actually play CF though. Pedroia would bounce his throws from that side of the infield.
  17. mvp 78
    A proto Brad Peacock. My thoughts on Danny Darwin are generally confused with Doyle Alexander, another mustachioed pitcher of that time.
  18. mvp 78
    I think they anticipated better contributions from Mike Gardiner and 1st rounder Kevin Morton. That era of the Sox farm was stacked to the gills with AAAA guys.
  19. mvp 78
    @ChrisCotillo Bobby Dalbec is eligible for Rookie of the Year and he thinks he can win it in 2021. He's planning on mastering the art of game-planning this winter, with some help from VR. I like Dalbec, but I'm clicking "(x) doubt" for sure.
  20. mvp 78
    The king dope, TBH.
  21. mvp 78
    CHB forgets a lot of those 90's Sox teams and the empty stadiums when Nomar first started playing.
  22. mvp 78
    Sox have mentioned that they are willing to move Verdugo to CF.
  23. mvp 78
    The DH's ahead of Jack Clark in fWAR for 1991: Frank Thomas HOF Paul Molitor HOF Cecil Fielder (44 HRs in his 2nd best season) Chili Davis (statistically his 2nd best offensive season, very underrated player) Albert Belle (first full season, had as many top 10 MVP totals as Yaz) Harold Baines HOF That's a pretty formidable group. His career died on the vine in 1992 tho.
  24. mvp 78
    Darwin was terrible in 91, but his 92 and 93 seasons were some of the best of his career. Not sure we could have expected him to exceed that performance.
  25. mvp 78
    I was going to mention Darwin earlier. I actually think Darwin was kind of ok for the Sox. He was better than Clark and Young for sure.
