    For Lindor? I think they'd want a better return than Masa and Story TBH. Don't care what BTV says.

    He's 28 years old. If I have to heavily weigh a small sample size for him, he must be pretty bad.

    The Astros were willing to deal Paredes. Craig reportedly couldn't get a deal across the table because he was asking for too much because his valuation on Duran was too high. It has been mentioned by local and national reporters. This was discussed over and over last offseason. We don't need to be gaslit here.

    Dude, if you trade a bunch of prospects, it's going to affect how your org is ranked. It's just how it is. It doesn't matter how those prospects perform the following season. You trade a bunch of near MLB arms and the team ranking will go down. This shouldn't be controversial.

    Justin Gonzales has crazy tools, but rocks that super high GB rate that kind of limits Roman Anthony. If Gonzales can keep his exit velo, but add some loft, he'd be better off.

    Witherspoon has shown some recent flashes. He has a solid floor and should definitely start in MLB someday. He didn't pop the way Eyanson did this season, but I don't think his future is really in question.

    I don't want either TBH. The cost for Bichette would be weird because of the opt outs and I think his swing doesn't really work at Fenway.

    The Sox are worse than 1/2 the other teams because they dumped a bunch of their players last offseason and haven't developed any bats recently. DSL players aren't a good bet to succeed as they rarely become top 100 players. The Sox being middle of the road is about as good of a ranking as they're going to get. If you look at POR and WOO, there really isn't a whole lot there except for Eyanson and Arias. Proximity is very important for rankings. Payton Tolle pitched his ass off from day one and had a pitch that was plus plus right away. Can't compare Phillips to him.

    Vlad Jr has had a very roller coaster career when you look at the numbers. I wasn't as all in on a long term deal for him as many others. He'll have more good seasons ahead of him, but TOR moved the walls in for him and he's still having a season like this!

    1. Extension - can you explain why people make a big deal out of it or at least why it's a metric on Statcast? Doesn't seem like it's helping a guy like Ryan Watson. 2. Extensions - looking into your crystal ball, who is the next player Breslow signs to an extension? With the increase in pitching injuries, is he less likely to sign Early or Tolle to an extension? 3. Alex Verdugo was out of baseball after age 29 and a 66 wRC+. 29 year old Jarren Duran has a 64 wRC+ this season and has been dreadful at times in the field. I don't believe he's retiring this offseason, but he's been really bad. What is causing this steep decline in production? He's typically been a good fastball hitter, so why can he no longer hit 4 seamers if he still has good bat speed?
  14. mvp 78
    Extension and a good sweeper, it's all he's got. Everything else is pretty bad.
  15. mvp 78
    It's the 4th year in a row where they've gone on a hot streak prior to the break. No excuses if they come back and drop a few. Need to keep the momentum going.
  16. mvp 78
    Nobody on here has been right about this season. It's been a very weird season so far.
  17. mvp 78
    While I really don't like Watson, with all the young guys needing to reduce their workload, the Sox are going to need to increase his innings going forward. 😬
  18. mvp 78
    They DFA'd Tyron?
  19. mvp 78
    Yes, see: Jarren Duran.

    Seems like the guys to watch are: Schaffner SS Hull OF Matczynski SS Shelar OF LaFavor RHP
  24. mvp 78
    Jake Bruml, Sox Scouting Director, stated that they expect to sign all the guys from the first 10 rounds. Signing deadline is July 27.

    I don't think Gonzales will be ready to be a starting OFer for BOS in '28. Godbout's surgery will definitely move his timetable back a little bit. He had an outside chance to get to BOS at the end of '27. Garcia isn't really a C anymore, but especially not at the MLB level. Maybe he can be an emergency catcher? He's really 1b/DH. Winnay is terrible at 3b and needs to be 1b fulltime. I don't think Cespedes will get to BOS by the end of '28. No chance. If anything, he's traded. Hard to project the '29 and '30 guys at all because things change. They are all too far away. Overall, they have a lot of 1B/DH guys and not all of them are going to find playing time at some point: Brannon, Heyman, Garcia, Winnay.
