    He's Rule 5 eligible this offseason and probably destined for the pen. I wouldn't have any concerns moving on from him.
  2. mvp 78
    According to "sources" the Sox prefer Bregman to Arrenado, but are having trouble bidding against two other teams.
  3. mvp 78
    See, I like that Early is a little old school. That's why I've been a little higher on him from the time he was drafted. I think he can probably get to a 4th starter ceiling.
  4. mvp 78
    We've been there for almost 9 years already!
  5. mvp 78
    Nope. Definitely not.
  6. mvp 78
    And Zanetello could be in danger of Rule 5 a few years from now. Lugo took a long time to develop, Zerferjahn too.
  7. mvp 78
    They can't start if someone goes down.
  8. mvp 78
    We gave up Lugo, Kavadas and Zeferjahn because they were at risk of being taken in the Rule 5 draft. Same for Paulino.
  9. mvp 78
    Yates is older and can't start if there's an injury. All the others are multi-year deals.
  10. mvp 78
    Getting salary relief by getting rid of a prospect? I just don't think a team like the Red Sox should be doing nonsense like that. That's a worse option than just DFA'ing him.
  11. mvp 78
    Buying a prospect with Yoshida's salary? I'm just not sure what kind of prospect would come back. Maybe they could get a guy that is ready to pop like Sandlin? IDK.
  12. mvp 78
    To me, I think the Cards should give up Arenado for lesser prospects. If the Sox don't value Zanetello, it was a different REGIME that drafted him, fine. They know more about him than I do. I'm not really a believer in Zanetello or Bleis. I'm definitely not a believer in Jordan. I think there's a good chance that Bleis should be out of the top 20 by the end of the year. He may hang on like Allan Castro, but I believe guys actually have to produce on the field at some point.
  13. mvp 78
    That's fine. It's probably more reasonable to assume that a different team would want to take on a little salary while the Cards are trying to offload as much as possible. If they eat 50% of his salary, does Masa have a landing spot?
  14. mvp 78
    If we're giving older Bleis ANOTHER year to prove it, why not Zanetello? I'm not saying he has a ton of value or is a sure thing. I just believe the outside chance of hitting on him is greater than a guy like Blaze Jordan or the Sogard/Mullins trade I suggested yesterday.
  15. mvp 78
    Zanetello was drafted because he was supposedly a 5 tool guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Roman Anthony is a 2nd round comp pick. I guess he will not be making the MLB team. Somebody trade Payton Tolle already. He's toast!
  16. mvp 78
    It's quite the mess, but it's not Bloom's mess anymore IMO. Sox either need to DFA (unlikely at this point), trade for pennies on the dollar, trade Casas/Abreu or just use Masa as the 4th OFer clogging up the bench.
  17. mvp 78
    I think the Yankees take a slight step back and Fried deals with an injury. O's take a bigger step back. Rays are about the same as relying on returning players doesn't entirely work out this time. Jays get better, but without extending Vlad, there is an air of uncertainty over the org for the year. Sox are a little bit better. Yankees 92 wins O's 86 wins Sox 85 wins Jays 83 wins Rays 79 wins O's end the season with 7 vs the Yanks and 3 vs the Rays. I think the Yanks ease up at home in the final series and the O's sneak into a WC birth in game 162.
  18. mvp 78
    SP said over and over again that Zanetello and Antonio Andersen were guys whose development needed to be slow and methodical and pushed through short season (see Keith Law's write up). I'm unsure about what "not old for the level" or "terribly age advance" even means. Each player has different needs for development. Miguel Bleis OPS'd 607 in Low A at age 19 and he's the sixth ranked prospect for some reason.
  19. mvp 78
    We've kicked around Masa enough. We're stuck with him and he's going to have his best season in 2025.
  20. mvp 78
    He was terrible, but he shouldn't have been in Low A.
  21. mvp 78
    a) 5M is being paid by COL b) is anyone penciling Masa in for more than 1 WAR * 3?
  22. mvp 78
    We already do that from Thanksgiving on anyway.
  23. mvp 78
    Sure? Maybe he wants to hold out and see if a pitcher goes down with an injury and someone else gives him a deal? IDK?
  24. mvp 78
    Zanetello still has an outside chance. If MLB hadn't messed up MiLB a few years ago, he would have started in Lowell and maybe his development track would look better. I'd dump Jordan.
  25. mvp 78
    They'd give up a 3 WAR player they are paying 25M (CBT), to take on a 1.5 WAR player at 12M who can only DH? How does this help them? Masa has been worth 11.3M his entire career. Why pay him 12M annually? Over that same time period, Arenado has been worth 23.4M each season. His contract makes sense. Masa's doesn't. Sox would have to eat 2/3's of the contract for it to be worth it.
