    I think it makes it very likely that he gets a spot in the rotation next year. If they had 5 starters already penciled in, he's probably in AAA. Right now, the only guy you can count on is Perez (ERod out due to COVID?, Sale out due to TJS, Eovaldi career health struggles).
  2. mvp 78
    They need to spend a lot of money and save wherever they can. That most likely means filling in with guys like Chavis/Dalbec/Houck/Munoz/Arroyo.
  3. mvp 78
    Somebody hide Guerin!
  4. mvp 78
    It won't be his debut, but Pivetta is a pretty big wild card.
  5. mvp 78
    Dodgers are paying the entire 96 now? He had excess value at half the contract.
  6. mvp 78
    I hadn't seen Houck pitch since Spring Training. He looked like he had a shot to make the 2020 rotation then. Now that he's been given a shot and has succeeded, we surely should minimize it and say "well, he's not necessarily part of the plans for 2021!"
  7. mvp 78
    With how bullpen use has trended, it makes more sense to have your #6 in the pen. There's enough innings to go around where Houck wouldn't need to be stretched out if someone got hurt.
  8. mvp 78
    Yes, the asked for Price. That's why they were ok with moving on from Maeda.
  9. mvp 78
    No way do you get more than that for 1 year of Mookie.
  10. mvp 78
    You think Bloom could get more than Verdugo/Downs/Wong straight up for Mookie?
  11. mvp 78
    I think signing one 1b in FA would keep Dalbec in AAA for the time being. I could even see them keeping him in AAA to refine his approach (not that I agree with that). However, there's no excuse for Houck to be in AAA. Even if they went crazy with signing SPers, there's still a role for Houck as a #6 or long man.
  12. mvp 78
    Yeah, he was drafted as a two way player, but Sox wanted his offense.
  13. mvp 78
    Fine, they wanted Graterol as part of the trade for Mookie to the Dodgers. Seems like the Dodgers would have only spared pitching prospects that were of lesser value than Wong and Downs.
  14. mvp 78
    1 year of Mookie for multiple years of Verdugo would have been a fair trade. They originally wanted Brusdar from the Dodgers, but backed off him after seeing his medical records. If the best they could get was Wong and Downs, I don't see how people could complain. Mookie wasn't coming back here next season. He would have been wasted on this team and lots of people would be on here screaming that the Sox should have traded them when they had the chance.
  15. mvp 78
    Sox had many holes in the farm. Holding out for one particular need to get a lesser return would be dumb.
  16. mvp 78
    Billy Hamilton vintage 2021? No. He's fast, but hits like Lin Manuel Miranda now.
  17. mvp 78
    Muniz to IL. Puello called up.
  18. mvp 78
    Red Sox 2020 1st round pick Nick Yorke made his @PawSox debut today. He got two at bats, lining a single off Bryan Mata and walking against Robinson Leyer. Impressive debut for an 18-year-old facing the top pitching prospect in the system and a reliever with MLB experience.
  19. mvp 78
    Thunder is probably happy with this. Jacob Wallace, PTBNL for Pillar:"One of best makeups I've ever scouted in New England, says scout." Summer '18 Bourne Braves:13.2 IP, 0 R, 5 BB 25 K. '19 UConn:42 20 6 3 10 68. Tewksbury's Scott Oberg recruited him to UConn. Wallace from Steve Bedrosian's Methuen.

    @PeteAbe #RedSox tonight vs. #Yankees: Verdugo RF, Devers 3B, Bogaerts SS, Martinez LF, Vázquez C, Plawecki DH, Bradley Jr. CF, Chavis 1B, Arroyo 2B and Pérez LHP.
  21. mvp 78
    Also, Devers is out of his slump. The Beni and Peraza black holes are no longer in the lineup.
  22. mvp 78
    @TheAthleticLA He's 22, a weight-room marvel and a general goofball. Meet Brusdar Graterol, the most popular player in the Dodgers clubhouse
  23. mvp 78
    @SoxNotes The Red Sox and Yankees have identical 13-14 records since August 19. The Sox are 3-1 in their last 4 games, while the Yankees have won their last 8. LHP Martín Pérez (3-4, 4.33) faces LHP Jordan Montgomery (2-2, 4.76) tonight at 7:30 in a 3-game series opener at Fenway Park.
  24. mvp 78
    @PeteAbe #RedSox VP of player development Ben Crockett said the team is planning a fall camp for prospects next month in Ft. Myers. Invites have not yet gone out. They've had discussions with teams in the area about having games, but nothing scheduled yet.
  25. mvp 78
    Baseball team names are definitely unexciting. Probably the Portland Puffins.
