    Jazz and a prospect.

    Compare to the younger Mayer who has the better exit velo and defense that the Sox value. If they tried to go with Mayer and Shaw, it could create a very high ceiling, low floor IF for this year and the Sox may just need something a little more stable.

    Does Shaw fit what the Sox need at 3b?

    Over on our sister site North Side Baseball, it's floated that the Cubs want to trade Shaw instead of Hoerner. https://northsidebaseball.com/news-rumors/chicago-cubs/6-suitors-for-matt-shaw-and-the-players-cubs-might-target-in-trades-with-them-r2472/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=bluesky Potential targets: Bello is a good young pitcher, but not a frontline guy, and the team-friendly extension to which the team signed him has so much meat left on the bone (four years, $50.5 million, with an option for 2030 that would earn him another $20 million) that the Cubs might be wary of taking it on. Crawford is an interesting arm with three years of club control left, but in order to accept him as the pitching help in a Shaw deal, Hoyer would have to get a pretty good second piece, which is unlikely. Tolle or Early would be a great return for Shaw, allowing the Sox to fill the hole left in their infield by their failure to re-sign Bregman while netting the Cubs a high-upside left-handed hurler. That would be a fun challenge trade—but Boston covets the depth and flexibility both lefties provide.

    Bo to PHI Bellinger to NYM Duran to NYY

    Bidding wars are fun if your team is not involved.
  8. mvp 78
    It's always the other case the team would probably say no. That's just less fun to say on here for the most part. We've had a few offseasons now where the OF didn't make sense and it seems like they'll still probably go into the season with 4 OFers. I'm sure the offseason rumors hasn't hurt Duran's mental health at all.

    JH not spending WAS OUR ISSUE. Did you enjoy '22, '23 and '24? Wouldn't last year have been nicer if the team was more complete and didn't get smoked in Games 2 and 3 in Yankee Stadium 3?

    I think knowing which players to go out and set the market price on is a good skill. Know who is worth it to overextend for and who you can reasonably pass on. Bregman may be a bigger need in 2026, but maybe Suarez will be the better player in 2028-30? If you think about DD in PHI, he's done a good job of not paying the wrong players (aside from Castellanos). The Mets have two big contracts that worked and a whole bunch of crap that didn't work out, so they missed the playoffs.
  11. mvp 78
    That's all most of us have been saying. We just say it in different ways.
  12. mvp 78
    He's not worth 60M a year. He was worth 40M in his best year. Stupid big overpay. His HR numbers should go up in LA though.
  13. mvp 78
    Teams are allowed to spend money? Is that how the world works? I thought there were CBT limits that they have to get under every few years!
  14. mvp 78
    Sure. I'd rather trade Abreu than Duran.
  15. mvp 78
    And people are big mad that the Dodgers are "ruining baseball." Maybe the Red Sox should try that?
  16. mvp 78
    Story, it's ok. Have a hug. I'm nice. 🤗
  17. mvp 78
    I've been saying...
  18. mvp 78
    Untrue.
  19. mvp 78
    I don't know what this even means. It's not how the world works.
  20. mvp 78
    They added a pitcher, they'll drop a pitcher (trade or DFA).
  21. mvp 78
    Story didn't pout when playing 2b. He doesn't seem like he'd pout if asked to move now?
  22. mvp 78
    I think Tristan Gray is probably safe.
  23. mvp 78
    TBF, all his metrics dropped off once he signed here regardless of the stadium he played in.
  24. mvp 78
    Before he's even in camp? Doubtful since they had to trade to get him.

    I'm not sure I can compare Breslow to Dombrowski. Dombrowski made a lot of trades, but he would really make a bunch of trades at the expense of the farm. He also had more free reign to go out and acquire a top FA if he wanted. I think Breslow is trying to do he best to compete while maintaining the farm. Dombrowski extended some older guys (Xander too), but Breslow extended lots of younger ones. I think the franchises were just in a similar spot when each CBO took over. Lots of young high end talent ready to replace mediocre talent clogging the MLB roster. Dombrowski made some keen acquisitions to get this team over the hump. We'll see how far Breslow can take them. I'm not sure what this team would look like if Bloom was still here TBH.
