    Story last September: 119 wRC+ 790 OPS 5 SB

    I doubt it, but you never know. I don't think he's beating his current contract on the open market. The injury history is pretty scary.

    Another pig for the pen

    Story will have a 4 WAR season this year.
  5. mvp 78
    FA after 2028.
  6. mvp 78
    I figured it'd be 50/50 with Wong going forward. I don't see them dumping Wong at this point.

    Teoscar is just money and I don't really want him either. I think he'll end up getting overpaid this time.
  8. mvp 78
    Agreed
  9. mvp 78
    Grandal, Nido and Diaz are all capable of filling that Sandy Leon type role or better.

    I like Rafaela as a super UTIL guy. Roman can eventually take over in RF, but they are kind of stuck with this rotation for 2025. 2026: Teoscar DH Duran LF Rafaela CF Anthony RF
  11. mvp 78
    IDK. Teoscar can't play RF in Fenway.

    No, they can start with Story for the first 2 months and then call up Mayer when Story gets injured. A change at 1B to Christian Walker makes this team much stronger defensively and provides a RHB. 1B Walker 2B Campbell/Hamilton SS Story/Mayer 3B Devers That IF defense is better than the past two years by far.

    How could he do this to them?
  14. mvp 78
    The underlined is the reason I don't trade for Robert. That and for all the times people will call him RobertS. The risk is entirely dependent upon the value the player provides. Not many relievers give 2 fWAR year in and year out. Any contract of 16M for 4 years is a losing proposition. With Burnes and Fried, there's actually a chance the dude shoves for a few years and earns the contract.

    Personally, I don't care what players are being paid. It's very abstract to me. Worrying about it really obscures the frustration with Henry simply not paying the right players since 2018.

    And a follow up a few weeks later: “If you remove something for your club and you add something of equal value, you haven't really moved the ball forward. We're looking to move the ball forward. ... It's tough to imagine scenarios with moving our young pitching, that we move our ball forward and not just rearrange things. And we're not really looking to rearrange, we're looking to get better.”

    Why don't they like Paredes?
  18. mvp 78
    Dipoto dispelled speculation that the Mariners would be open to dealing young starting pitchers Logan Gilbert, George Kirby, Bryce Miller and Bryan Woo, likening the notion to “plan Z.”
  19. mvp 78
    Kittredge should be WAY less than 16M. 5-6M? I think Crochet/Walker/Kittredge/Kelly is decent offseason, but they'll probably go cheaper than sign Kelly.
  20. mvp 78
    There are only two teams on TalkSox: the Red Sox and the Mariners.
  21. mvp 78
    Right now, they can't even get to 100M for a floor. Setting a floor at 50% of the first CBT seems to make sense, but owners won't go for it unfortunately. Hard to fit in a hard cap as MLBPA doesn't want one. We're cursed to continue on in this doomed world they've created.
  22. mvp 78
    32 is too old. You're only getting 1-2 prime years. I wouldn't do it for what he's going to get paid.
  23. mvp 78
    Yeah, I think the asking price will be too high for what Castillo brings.
  24. mvp 78
    To me, I like Fried's stuff a little better and that he's a lefty, but he has greater health concerns. Today, I'm leaning towards Burnes. That may change tomorrow.
  25. mvp 78
    To me, there's not much control left over Robert and the ChiSox will probably want too much for him after his 657 OPS year. He's not a 162 guy. He k's/whiffs too much and never walks. He wouldn't be the first guy who just completely fell off the map. Tanner Scott: 2021 -0.1 bWAR 2022 0.1 bWAR Let's not pretend he's the mark of consistency.
