    Bernie was an up and down guy who was out of options. His bb rate got up too high last year (bottom 6th percentile). I think Brezzz is trying to move on from guys who give free passes. Highest bb rates that were still on the 40 man at year end: Guerrero - gone Moran - most likely the next DFA Hicks - stuck with Murphy - gone Hendricks - gone Bernardino - gone Tolle - young, will work with Winckowski - gone The guy with one of the best bb rates, Criswell, was given a surprising contract.

    My complaint was the lack of positional prospects. The Sox have struggled to fill the org with 1B/C prospects for several years. Seems like Craig found a few. The only trade that was surprising to me was the Guerrero one, but maybe Gray will work out like Romy has. We'll see. Seems like they have faith in Uberstine. Drohan deserves some run in the bullpen next year but needs to stay healthy for once.

    The Hoppe for Heyman trade is interesting. BA ranked Heyman 127th. He's a plus power guy who missed the end of last year due to a fractured forearm. His Baseball America pre-draft scouting report noted, “Heyman offers plus raw power and improving swing decisions. He generates carry and lift to the pull side, even on pitches thrown in the outer half of the zone. While Heyman struggled somewhat with offspeed pitches, particularly changeups, he crushed velocity, a byproduct of solid bat speed and rhythm. He stays balanced through his swing and can punish mistakes over the plate.” Baseball America graded his power and arm both 55 (above average) on its 20-80 grading scale. The site added about his defense, “Scouts believe he has a chance to stick behind the plate thanks to above-average arm strength and improved receiving and blocking. He presented pitches more cleanly than in years past and showed a feel for handling a staff.”

    Early, Duran and Arias for Skubal? I'd do it if the Sox were given a 72 hour window to negotiate an extension or call the deal off.

    Sox adding Sandlin, Drohan and Uberstine

    Bernardino to Rox?
  9. mvp 78
    Chris Murphy traded to ChiSox

    Grisham also took the QO.
  11. mvp 78
    Love how quickly these things get updated!
  12. mvp 78
    He couldn't throw strikes.

    Just swapping Lowe's positional spot for now. Better for the roster than Grissom. Probably on Sogard or Eaton's level. Maybe higher?
  14. mvp 78
    Imanaga, Torres and Woodruff accept QO

    I believe they tried working on pitch mix and the shape of some of his pitches. They got more horizontal movement out of him in '24, but worse results. We also know he was a candidate for regression ('23: 2.88 ERA/3.89 xFIP). I think they were never impressed with the work he put in whenever he was in AAA. He was unhappy with them. They weren't thrilled with him.

    A 30 year old part timer who has been with 6 orgs. You are worried about him being the fallback plan?
  17. mvp 78
    The biggest thing was not buying into the org's/Bailey's pitching program.
  18. mvp 78
    I'd rather have had him in AAA than Tristan Gray, I think. 🫠 Now watch Gray be Romy 2.0. If he's just Nate Eaton, it's not worth it.
  19. mvp 78
    Has like 30 HR power with no split issues. Prior to '24, he was carrying Bobby Dalbec k rates in AAA.
  20. mvp 78
    Chris Cotillo is the only one reporting the Winckowski rumor. If true, Sandlin is most likely protected and that's that for today.
  21. mvp 78
    No read. Just post.
  22. mvp 78
    Bo is clearly a 1 for 1 replacement for Breggie. They still need that middle of the order bat no matter what they do at 3b/2b.
  23. mvp 78
    Platoon for Romy?
  24. mvp 78
    Bo doesn't really add power though.
  25. mvp 78
    You trust the crack medical staff this team employs?
