Weber can actually pitch in the majors. Scouts have stated that Reyes stuff is like purely based on location and that he'd get whacked around in MLB.
His BB% has double since getting out of A ball. 2019 was a step back for all of his numbers. I'm not sure he could provide anything for BOS over the next few years.
Also, it's clear that Bloom values Webber. Not sure why it upsets everyone.
Free-agent 1B Mitch Moreland signs one-year, $3M deal with #RedSox, source tells The Athletic. Salary of $2.5M in 2020 with $3M club option or $500,000K buyout for ‘21.

Sox were rumored to have interest in Meulens earlier in the process.
@Feinsand
says they're "in the thick" of interview process, though no names have leaked out.
I've been in Fenway and heard similar thoughts after Damon was traded, after Coco was let go, after Ells went to FA... It's just the nature of the beast.
Even if he has a monster year, his age and lack of position will prevent him from opting out.
See: Edwin Encarnacion who has been with 4 teams in the 4 years since he turned 33 (the age JD will be in 2021).
