    Imagine hoping for Springer, but winding up with Beni... Yikes.
  2. mvp 78
    He makes Eovaldi look like an iron man though.
  3. mvp 78
    The 2015 Rays pitchers Bloom may collect this offseason: Andriese - check Archer Colome Moore Odorizzi Yates That's 82 GS for that group.

    Played in Japan last year.
  5. mvp 78
    They were worried about Ells leaving 3+ years later?
  6. mvp 78
    I hope the shoe to drop isn't "Matt Moore."

    @ChrisCotillo Two more free-agent starters the Red Sox have checked in on, per sources: Garrett Richards and Matt Moore.

    @jonmorosi Source: Corey Kluber talks are intensifying and there is an increasing likelihood that he will sign with an @MLB team by Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Kluber’s throwing session this week was well-attended by team execs and scouts. @MLBNetwork The original expectation was today.

    Should have signed Jayson Werth rather than a second CFer.
  10. mvp 78
    What shoe are they waiting for?
  11. mvp 78
    @BenBadler Red Sox today signing one of the top pitchers in Venezuela for this year, RHP Alvaro Mejias.

    MLB hopes to bring back seven-inning doubleheaders and the runner-on-second-base extra-inning rule, writes USA Today’s Bob Nightengale. The league is advocating for a continuation of these rules specifically for fear of the coronavirus continuing to affect the schedule. The league also seems to be in favor of keeping the universal DH and expanded playoffs, though those issues are still being discussed. No rule changes are made official, of course, until the league comes to an agreement with the MLBPA. The debate around expanded playoffs seems particularly challenging right now, as a greater playoff field, in some minds, actually de-incentivizes teams from spending in free agency since they have a greater margin for error. Reduced spending on free agents is a hot button issue right now, and it’s going to be the lens through which the players view many of the topics under discussion for 2021. Nightengale notes that there’s at least a chance that MLB ends up with the same rules in 2021 as in 2020, with the exception of roster sizes dropping back down from 29 to 26.

    Difference in how the players are posted maybe?
  14. mvp 78
    Nope.
  15. mvp 78
    There better be an increase in moves or ownership will be in trouble in the next CBA, especially if everyone is anticipating a full season.

    Also my thoughts on Andriese are: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4Ksoizbl2s

    Bloom was not with the Rays when Renfroe was there.
  19. mvp 78
    I'm not saying Bloom is adding the smokescreen. I don't think he cares about that kind of stuff. This ownership group is very concerned with PR though. IDK, it's just a conspiracy I have right now. Probably wrong.

    Here's OTM's write up on Miller: https://www.overthemonster.com/2020/12/16/22178105/boston-red-sox-offseason-preview-brad-miller-free-agent I like Brad Miller. He seems to be a fit. I just assumed that his past with the Rays made him too obvious of a choice.

    The 33-year-old right-hander ranked among the elite closers in all of baseball before missing a large majority of the truncated 2020 season due to an elbow issue that would eventually require a minor surgery. He is expected to be fully recovered by the beginning of spring training in 2021 and would be a good low-risk gamble for a range of different clubs if the reported asking price is accurate.

    Did some research on it. July 27, 2015 Word of the Week: Janky Janky: Of extremely poor or unreliable quality. U.S. slang (chiefly African-American); earliest citations are from the early 1990s. Sometimes intensified as janky-ass or truncated as jank. Janky was one of a clutch of words added to OxfordDictionaries.com in February 2015. (Other additions included vishing, McTwist, and teachable moment.) The word’s origin is murky; the more comprehensive Oxford English Dictionary says it’s “probably” a regional, affected, or colloquial pronunciation of junky. Juba to Jive: A Dictionary of African-American Slang, published in 1994, classifies it as a noun meaning “bad luck,” and says it’s “probably” a variant of jinxed.

    If Beni is traded, they'll need another guy. I wonder if the talk about trading Beni is just smokescreen for them moonwalking through FA so far?
  24. mvp 78
    Does his versatility increase his AAV? If so, may be better to get a 2b only guy. Unless, they expect Downs to move up quickly and will let Kike move around once that happens. What if they sign Kike AND someone like Schoop?

    Just remember, Sox only have 5.3M to spend. $2M already accounted for.
