  1. Are they still looking to deal Suarez? Pads think he's opting out this year.
  2. It depends on the cost for sure! With Anthony, the cost is going up by the day!
  3. We'll see! A regular person coming back from the injury is much different than a large human like Casas who needs to generate a lot of power from his lower body. A significant knee injury could be career altering as we've seen with other MLB players. Those are the facts and the facts are undisputed!
  4. My personal preference is to do a huge rebuilding in the offseason, rather than massive spending at the deadline. I think nibbling can be fine. Nibbling worked in 2018 and 2021. I don't think any of us saw those moves as being huge, but they worked out well.
  5. I guess that's why we only grabbed a "beer leaguer." 😢
  6. The Sox aren't going to pay trade deadline prices for Joe Ryan when they can get him much cheaper this offseason if they want him.
  7. I was clearly looking at the '23 numbers. Regardless, they aren't DFA'ing Alcala if Murphy has options.
  8. 8 in 4 months is like once every other week. I'm just saying that it's devalued, right? It's not what it once was. Javier Lopez had 20 in 2007 (every third appearance). Bernardino does it like every sixth appearance. NOTE: Lopez was the only guy I looked at.
  9. Not just his rib injury, but also his previous injuries that he had while in the org. Casas doesn't stay healthy and doesn't come back quickly. Guys who had the same injury: Edwin Diaz - missed a full year Dustin Fowler - played in AAA after 9 months Einar Diaz - never played again We don't know how Casas will progress. But our best guess should be to take a conservative approach and expect him to need at least 12 months.
  10. If they had moved on from Casas and Yoshida last offseason, the Sox would have been better off in '25.
  11. Recovery timeline of a year would bring him back next May/June. He won't be playing for BOS on Opening Day. With Casas's known issues of being a slow healer, he'll take the full 12 months if not longer.
  12. Right, but if a part timer has -2 DRS at several positions, it's not necessarily adversely affecting the guy. He'd probably just be a -7 DRS guy overall anyway.
  13. Your mistake was letting the AI do your research for you.
  14. I'm planning for the future to have a better option than Casas at 1b.
  15. Story ranks high in chances because Sox pitching is 4th in GB rate and there are only 6 SS's that have played more G than Story. For a better defense, Story should be at 2b and Breslow should find a long term above average SS. (Mayer or other) The defense has been absolutely CARRIED by Rafaela and Narvaez's defense at CF and C. Playing Rafaela out of position is egregious to me.
  16. He already has 4 rings. There clearly is no sense of urgency anymore. The budget is far more important than it was when Larry Lucchino was around.
  17. It could happen to anyone. It just happens more often to Casas than other players. And when it happens to Casas, he stays out longer too.
  18. They will use the 30M AAV towards internal extensions most likely.
  19. He is a guy that has a trend of not staying healthy throughout his career. Not a guy I'd give a long term contract too or trust for a starting position without a good backup.
