    Okamoto isn't very similar to Masa. He has a lot more power and is a very good fielder. If they traded for Lodolo? I'd still go for Woodruff because he's a big value play to me a 22 AAV. Maybe pass on Hoskins and bring back Matz?

    That Murakami contract is a very expensive lottery ticket. I don't want any part of it. The variance on what he could be isn't worth it to me since JH isn't free spending anymore.
  3. mvp 78
    I'm not saying it's "the best approach" but it's something that he's particularly struggled with. The idea that he knows the k zone better than the umps is just silly to me. Don't let the umps put you on the bench.
  4. mvp 78
    His best season was when he had his best approach while having 2 strikes on him. Are you misreading what I'm trying to say? His lowest strike out looking percentage was 27% and occurred in '23 when he was most successful.
  5. mvp 78
    I just think Woodruff provides so much more value at only 6M more AAV. If he pitches like he did in '25, he's a #2. Kelly is not that.
  6. mvp 78
    Woodruff @ 3/66 is right in my wheelhouse. I'm signing him today.
  7. mvp 78
    No way are they spending 70M AAV on Cease, Murakami and Suarez.
  8. mvp 78
    If the Sox can only spend about 45M this offseason: (Per the FanGraphs tracker) Okamoto 3/48 16M Hoskins 1/8 8M Woodruff 3/55 22M

    If they don't sign anyone, the rotation is trash unless the young guys take massive leaps.
  10. mvp 78
    Sox save some money as they already have a Polar Bear logo on file. Could get Paws out of retirement too!

    Sandoval's years of pitching well were a long time ago as you said AND pre-injury. '26 should be a rollercoaster ride for him coming back from TJS. His upside to me is 4th starter. No way does he have 2 fWAR next season/pitch better than Gio's '25.

    I think they'll start the season with him in the org. They try to add a #2. They will hold onto him early on, but unload him if he's a disaster.
  14. mvp 78
    Even so, I wouldn't position him 3rd. Crochet Bello Dobbins Sandoval Crawford
  15. mvp 78
    King's 4 seamer was one of the worst pitches in all of baseball last season (800 SLG against, not OPS, just SLG). I'd be very hesitant to bring him in with that QO attached. He also had a few injury issues last year including a shoulder injury that kept him out for 2+ months.

    What the hell..........................................
  17. mvp 78
    It's not a playoff roster if they don't sign anyone.
  18. mvp 78
    Because he came back when he was still injured. He needs an offseason to fully recover. Will he have recurring injuries due to his age? Probably.
  19. mvp 78
    You missed where I said 801. His best year, when he hit 856, was when he had his best 2 strike approach.
  20. mvp 78
    The Sox look at Hamilton and see a Dansby Swanson-esque fielder (rangy, bad arm). If Swanson could put up good metrics at SS, maybe Hamilton could too. I don't think Sogard could even put up average metrics over a full season.
  21. mvp 78
    Sogard is a fairly decent switch hitter, so he can go against LHP. I think I'd rather him play SS than Romy. Romy seems like strictly a right side of the IF guy to me (bad range, bad arm).
  22. mvp 78
    Hard to get Bieber when he just re-signed with TOR for $16M.
  23. mvp 78
    We've seen some NPB guys really pop and the price wouldn't include a QO.
  24. mvp 78
    Romy? I'm going to agree with the Sox that I think Hamilton could figure it out for a short spurt at SS. His arm is just pretty bad.
  25. mvp 78
    Wink has no options and has pushed back against direction from development. I'd send him to the moon.
