    I agree about Beni's trade value. They'd have to package him to get something of value. Maybe a bad contract and a prospect or two? I'd just prefer to keep him. If he sucks, he just goes away. Sign a stop gap for CF. There are still a few underwhelming options available. Then go sign Wong.

    It was a make up move for not signing Abreu that offseason.

    So that's a no to Bauer.

    While the Red Sox were among the teams that liked Sugano, they are “uninterested” in offering any pitcher a four-year deal this winter, writes Alex Speier of the Boston Globe. They are, however, willing to offer two-year or three-year terms to certain hurlers. As Speier writes, that dovetails nicely with the team’s ongoing Jake Odorizzi pursuit. Arguably the second-best free agent starter remaining on the market, Odorizzi is expected to land a three-year deal in the $36MM — $42MM range.

    San Diego Chicken finally got his revenge.

    It makes Bauer's comments and approach to sticky substances last year all the more hilarious. He was just doing it to troll Gerrit.

    I think the size of Henry's bank account gives us the flexibility. Now that they cleared the threshold last year, they can really do whatever they want. That's true payroll flexibility IMO.

    How so? Sox were under the cap last year. They could legitimately spend as much as theoretically possible this offseason. This isn't a small market team trying to find spare change in their couch. If Henry told Bloom he wanted to win this year, they could sign Bauer, Springer and whoever else they wanted.

    @alexspeier Tomoyuki Sugano has until 5pm to sign with an MLB team, but it won't be with the Red Sox, who appear out on the NPB star. Could Jake Odorizzi fit their plans?

    If you go bargain bin shopping, you'll most likely look like it too.

    Not when 27 other teams are waiting too.

    @JonHeyman Two hours to go for the deadline for star RHP Tomoyuki Sugano, and unless someone makes a big push late, there’s a good chance he’ll return to pitch for the Yomiuri Giants, who offered 4 years with 3 opt-outs. Jays, others have been in mix but might not be the right year to move.

    The only teams that seem to be all in this offseason is the Mets and Padres. The inefficiency is that when all the teams are waiting until the end of the period to sign people, you have the opportunity to be first in line and just get the guy you really want.

    @RobertStock6 The Red Sox didn’t know it then, but in 1920 they were the first team to officially begin a “rebuild” when they traded Babe Ruth. This rebuild lasted 84 years (which is a bit longer than usual) but has widely been considered a successful ploy.

    @OverTheMonster Yet another good time for a reminder that Moneyball wasn't about sabermetrics it was about taking advantage of market inefficiencies and right now the biggest market inefficiency in baseball is actually trying to improve your team. This. Agreed. 100%.

    @IanCundall I’m a little surprised Cleveland couldn’t get a better main piece for Lindor, especially since they are also moving Carrasco. I’d take both Alex Verdugo and Jeter Downs over anyone they are getting in the trade. @redsoxstats Sox got better main pieces and dumped a contract rather than including Carrasco. Betts is better than Lindor and the Dodgers paid accordingly.
  19. mvp 78
    We going to try this again?
  20. mvp 78
    Fine.
  21. mvp 78
    Lindor/Carrasco traded to the Mets, by the way.
  22. mvp 78
    Maybe? I'll have to think about it.

    @jcmccaffrey When Bianca Smith finished an internship with the Reds, she wrote Joey Votto a note thanking him for his support. “I didn’t feel like I did anything other than just chat ball with her,” Votto said. “I was like, ‘What can I learn from her?'”

    If only 77 pitchers qualified, you can't assume that there are 30 number 1's that qualified, unless your assumption is that few 3rd starters and no 4th or 5th starters qualified.
