    They tried to extend Casas. He said no!
  2. mvp 78
    This wasn't an organizational award, it was an MiLB-wide award.
  3. mvp 78
    If they made him the everyday SS and hit him 9th, it'd be fine. The offense would probably be better off losing Story's swing and miss anyway.
  4. mvp 78
    He still has good offensive metrics. I think if he needs to slide over to 1b after Contreras is done, it's not a big deal to finish his contract over there. I'm more concerned with the interesting things that has happened to him off the field the past few years. Seems like a lot. Sox don't really have any leaders right now and adding Marte isn't going to move that clubhouse forward.

    Extending a bunch of our players is tying them to the organization for better or worse. If you are picking and choosing the players, fine. I think they just gave out too many extensions. For a back of the rotation starter like Bello? Pass. For any position player that isn't projected to get MVP votes in the next 5 years? Pass.
  6. mvp 78
    It makes sense for Roman and Crochet. The other guys? I'm just not all in on extensions like some people.
  7. mvp 78
    Story is most likely playing his way onto the IL.
  8. mvp 78
    I don't know what is going on in Marte's life. If that's the trade, that's the trade. Not sure whose stock dropped more last season.
  9. mvp 78
    His '23 contract negotiation year (didn't go to ARB) was after back to back seasons over 100 OPS+ and hitting 27 HR in '22. It takes Rafaela two seasons to hit that many HR.
  10. mvp 78
    The AAV doesn't matter when his AAV would be a lot less if they went year to year with him. The bust is all the extensions combined. If they could have, the would have dealt Bello by now at for higher value. Unfortunately, his extension diminishes his return. If the players don't become stars, the extensions are just flat out not worth it. Just go year to year.

    How many teams will want the risky Duran at 11M? After '26, not many!
  12. mvp 78
    How? He was 7.7M last year. We have zero clue what a 0 WAR guy will get in ARB this season if it gets that far since he's never gone to ARB before. Sox have always extended him prior to ARB negotiations. Maybe they just offer him 8M?
  13. mvp 78
    He won't make or break the season, BUT with a penny pinching owner, why throw all these extensions onto the budget when IN TOTAL they've kinda busted out on them? They would have been better going year to year and having the cash on hand to spend today IMO. It is less risky unless you believe these guys are all turning into Mookie Betts and it hasn't turned out that way, clearly.
  14. mvp 78
    Ok, the final scorecard isn't complete. Let's not talk about anything then.
  15. mvp 78
    He's only hit over 100 OPS once. He's not making jack in ARB even with his GGs. If he goes to FA, maybe somebody offers him 15 AAV? He's a good player, but you just can't trust that bat. Guys that get all their value from the defensive side of WAR really aren't worth that much $$$ wise.
  16. mvp 78
    Yeah, right.
  17. mvp 78
    Why? He wouldn't have made more in ARB. Sox could afford him if he goes to FA after ARB.
  18. mvp 78
    For two years of Rafaela? Not worth it to be tied to KC, Bello, et al.
  19. mvp 78
    I don't care about the AAV. I care about what he's getting paid in the years post ARB. He's getting 2/25. That's underpaid, but it's not enough savings to cover the other extensions that have been LOSERS! When you combine all the extensions together (which was the original argument), the Sox have lost money with these extensions.
  20. mvp 78
    PCA was worth 85M. Is he getting that on the open market in FA? FanGraphs value system isn't reflective on what the players are actually paid. Saying "well, he's worth 30M" is kind of meaningless if we're talking about "did signing him to an extension save them money." It's two different subjects that have nothing to do with each other.
  21. mvp 78
    And misses! 45.3% chase rate - 1st percentile 10th percentile EV 25th percentile barrel 16th percentile hard hit Nothing he does with the bat is good.
  22. mvp 78
    On the open market, he's not getting 30M a year. He's not. You think he's PCA? He's a GG CFer with a middling bat. We've all said that he needs to hit a the bottom of the lineup. That's not a guy getting 30M anywhere.
  23. mvp 78
    I don't think they were getting a major rotation piece for trading Duran. If they couldn't get a few years of Paredes, they weren't getting anything better than a 5th starter.
  24. mvp 78
    No. I don't think what he is doing now would get him paid more in ARB than what his contract is earning him. He's had one season over 100 OPS+ and the metrics aren't kind to him. Guys that are glove first aren't paid highly on the open market or in arbitration.

    Arias won an MiLB GG.
