    2004: 1st in runs 2007: 4th in runs 2013: 1st in runs 2018: 1st in runs I'm sensing a theme...
  2. mvp 78
    Maybe underwhelming in terms of name recognition, but who cares about that?
  3. mvp 78
    He hasn't had an OPS above 700 vs LHP since getting to AA in 2023. Duran was able to get it to the 800's in WOO after struggling in POR.
  4. mvp 78
    Skubal signed for 10.15M, if we want to get an idea for what the most Crochett could get going into next season.
  5. mvp 78
    They would need to sign him for a X year deal and give him an opt out after 2027 in that case, which is 2 years later, not one as you suggested. I think you just weren't being clear.
  6. mvp 78
    How do you give him an extension where he can bolt after one year that isn't him leaving after 2026?!?!?
  7. mvp 78
    Harder to work on that kind of stuff in MLB when the stress level is higher and the stuff your facing is that much harder. He may have to depending on Story's health and the other players around him.
  8. mvp 78
    Ignore ARB for this season (which would pay him less than 5M) and give him a 7/175 with an opt out at 5 years. Even that is probably an overpay.
  9. mvp 78
    I just don't see the value in only adding one year on the backend as they'd be greatly increasing his contract size in year 2 when he'd still make fairly little in ARB.
  10. mvp 78
    You'd have Hamilton and Romy ahead of Refsnyder then?
  11. mvp 78
    Mayer's issues are that he struggles against LHP and breaking balls. Maybe he can work on this in AAA in 2025.
  12. mvp 78
    I would keep Refsnyder over Grissom 1,000,000%. Grissom notably struggles to elevate the ball.

    https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/01/red-sox-have-shown-interest-in-phil-maton.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=bluesky Thus, Chris Cotillo of MassLive reports the Red Sox have “checked in on a long, long list” of names in pursuit of bullpen upgrades. That includes Tanner Scott, Jeff Hoffman, A.J. Minter, Carlos Estévez, Tommy Kahnle, and Andrew Kittredge. On Wednesday, Cotillo added Phil Maton to that cohort. Maton, 32 in March, is coming off an up-and-down season split between the Rays and Mets. The right-hander struggled in Tampa Bay after signing a one-year, $6.5MM contract (with a club option for 2025) last offseason. Over 40 games and 35 1/3 innings with the Rays, he pitched to a 4.58 ERA and 4.52 SIERA. By the end of his brief tenure in Tampa Bay, his strikeout rate was sitting at a career-low and his walk rate at a career-high. Despite the highest groundball rate of his career, he was struggling to prevent runs.

    If Mayer only debuts in September, he'll still won't have enough MLB experience to take him out of the prospect rankings and will remain #1 prospect, especially in a timeshare.
  15. mvp 78
    Bringing Anthony up in May doesn't make sense as it's too late for PPI and too soon for Super Two protection.
  16. mvp 78
    I think Slaten could get the closer's job at some point, but don't think it will be on day one. I think Hendriks will get the first crack at it and will have it for April at least.
  17. mvp 78
    Taylor Ward doesn't seem like a horrible idea to me.
  18. mvp 78
    You want to offer him a deal that gives him an opt out after 2027. If you were Bres, you'd be fired after 4 years just like the rest of them for doing that.
  19. mvp 78
    So an extension that is just inclusive of a 3 year opt out after 2027. Awful stuff. He's going to make next to nothing in ARB the next two years and you could offer a QO after '26. Only gaining one year of control doesn't move the needle at all IMO.

    For only being the third pod together, it's already better than a lot of other Sox podcasts that are out there.
  22. mvp 78
    Grissom has zero innings played in the OF in his professional career. Hamilton has 69. That bench is not suitable for an MLB roster IMO. I'd dump Hamilton or Romy before Refsnyder if they want to compete. It makes no sense to get rid of the one guy who mashes LHP and keep two weak defense MIFers (Hamilton and Grissom) or a guy DFA'd by the 2024 ChiSox (Romy). I know we all love to get behind the 26th guy on the roster, but the love for Romy is a little ridiculous. If they DFA'd him, there's a good chance he'd pass through waivers.
  23. mvp 78
    I'm fine with a one year ARB agreement and then a 6 year contract with 4 year opt out. I think getting less than 5 years out of Crochett would be a nightmare.
  24. mvp 78
    Nelson Cruz had a pretty healthy career.
  25. mvp 78
    If that's what they want on the bench, Campbell makes 1,000,000 X more sense than Grissom.
