  1. It's not even about the rotation TBH. They are no longer developing relief pitchers. The last reliever they signed/drafted and developed was Darwinzon Hernandez. They keep a lot of relief types in the rotation that flame out when they could be developed. They've sent others out for poor returns: Hoppe, Zef...
  2. Arozarena having a career year going into FA, what could go wrong?
  3. Could have both. One is better suited for DH.
  4. What's the point in questioning it? Most local reporters believe it. We have heard from multiple sources that they didn't want to give up Mayer in a trade to AZ for Marte. We have heard from multiple sources that they didn't want to give up Duran because they overvalued him.
  5. Well, I'm glad that you "person without sources" is able to be unsure about reporting from people with sources.
  6. I feel like I've heard the same argument on here. He also went with "actually, from July 1 on, we were a 104 win team!" 😶
  7. The biggest thing was his laissez faire attitude and just not being a professional ballplayer. Roman takes his game very seriously. Marcelo has always had it come very easy to him so he doesn't work at it. I think we're seeing Marcelo hit his ceiling right now unless he's going to put work in, but he's spent his whole life not having to be that way. Hard for him to turn the ship around now.
  8. If that was true, Mayer would probably still be here. Mayer wore out his welcome very quickly.
  9. That sounds unlikely. Mayer was relied on for an Opening Day roster spot. They wouldn't part with him for Ketel Marte!
  10. I've just heard that his glove is really bad and that he should be a DH. I haven't seen enough of him in the field TBH.
  11. Good thing 2b is finally pinned down!
  12. Either 10M or add on another 20M for the option.
  13. I don't know how they are losing 100M of payroll this offseason. SoxProspects has it at 216M while excluding Sonny Gray and ARB for 14 players.
  14. Sox just picked the wrong prospect TBH.
  15. Me either. I just think trades like 4 for 1 are kind of stretching it TBH. That's probably the max amount of players going the other way. Sale, Kimbrel and Crochet were all traded for 4 prospects. Seems like the right number. Adley was traded for 5 players at the deadline, which seems like more and more of an overpay.
  16. Sox don't have anyone that is untradeable. Elly is more valuable trade wise than probably anyone except Tolle? I'd deal any of the prospects. I'd deal anybody on the 40 man. Tolle probably doesn't work unless it's 1 for 1 and I don't think Breslow does that. Durbin, Arias, Gonzales, Delzine? Elly SS, Story 2B, Mead 3B Big problem for 2028 though as half the IF leaves in the offseason.
  17. Maybe it centered around Eyanson? IDK.
  18. Reds have a lot of needs and don't want to spend. Elly is their best asset to obtain more players. They aren't going to extend him apparently.
  19. Arias wasn't involved in the discussions between the orgs at the time. 🤷‍♂️
  20. Hard to say. He's as likely to be traded as be placed on the 40 man.
  21. The Sox and Reds were working on a trade at the deadline.
