    Now is when they should be spending. We'll see if they actually do it. I think the extensions they agreed to last year were dumb and were solely meant to appease fans.

    The first ARod contract was a great deal. He was an all-time talent and hit the crap out of the ball from 01-09. It's a shame they moved him off of SS for Jeter. ARod ended his career with 117 bWAR! He's second only to Honus Wagner in SS bWAR. He had a career 140 OPS+, won 3 MVPs and was top 5 in MVP voting 6 times! That's just video game numbers.

    I think the Sox offer is probably 4th out of the 5 offers. I think they made an offer just to show the fanbase that they "are back." I don't entirely believe the spending will actually increase all that much. Maybe they sign one TOTR starter like Fried or Burnes and call it a day.

    Thanks to Mirabelli.

    And Abreu stays healthy. Abreu 4.3 bWAR, 117 OPS+ 160 G Career Casas 2.8 bWAR 125 OPS+ 222 G Career

    Pull that trigger in a second.
  7. mvp 78
    Huh? He was thrown to the pen in SF and only posted 0.3 bWAR. He wasn't very good in SF at all. His last good season was 2021 in OAK.
  8. mvp 78
    Monty should start in Greenville, which is where the college bats that he was drafted with went to at the end of last year.
  9. mvp 78
    If the depth in the system is MIF and OF, why invest a lot of money in guys like Adames and Arenado? Soto is an otherworldly talent that makes sense. These other two don't really push the needle past the ceilings of internal options that will be cheap as all get out.
  10. mvp 78
    I can see Hamilton sticking around for awhile. People prefer Romy, but he's very replaceable IMO.
  11. mvp 78
    I'm very willing to move on from Wong if Teel is ready. Maybe they make Wong a UTIL type guy for a few weeks until they are sure about Teel and then deal Wong? IDK. There is a chance Teel doesn't appear until 2026 and I'm ok with it.
  12. mvp 78
    I'd trade Grissom for a solid middle reliever.
  13. mvp 78
    The one thing about Arenado is he is a dead pull hitter (45%+). However, I think he has more of a line drive swing and would lose HR's to the monster that would turn to doubles.
  14. mvp 78
    I don't want any part of Adames. I'd trade for Arenado if STL was willing to take Masa's full contract and a mid level prospect.
  15. mvp 78
    It'd clearly be a package deal.
  16. mvp 78
    SoxProspects updated their year end rankings: Notable Risers Kristian Campbell from 3 to 2 Hunter Dobbins from 18 to 11 Connelly Early from 25 to 17 Luis Guerrero from 27 to 21 Nelly Taylor from 37 to 31 Brooks Brannon from 50 to 43 Starlyn Nunez from 55 to 46 Tyler Uberstine from unranked to 50 Notable Fallers Allan Castro from 16 to 21 Zach Penrod from 19 to 24 Mickey Gasper from 45 to 51 Bryan Mata from 51 to 56

    Put Cora, Ramon Vazquez and Jose Flores (infield instructor) on a plane to DR and have a sit down with Devers. I'm sure they can work it out. The person who should be worried about this conversation is Casas.
  18. mvp 78
    I mentioned Diaz previously as he could be very cheap and come on a one year deal. Some of the other catchers seem like imperfect fits.
  19. mvp 78
    In '23 he had a good arm and pop time. He was terrible at framing, but he could control the baserunners a bit. Last year, he was just bad. I think injuries played into his arm/pop time set backs this year, but I don't see him figuring out the framing/blocking stuff. It just depends on what Breslow values. As a former pitcher, I bet he cares about framing and stealing an extra strike or two.
  20. mvp 78
    Really weird that he stopped being able to hit lefties in '23 and '24.
  21. mvp 78
    And Casas is a terrible 1B that struggles to stay healthy.
  22. mvp 78
    Why Arenado? Adding an expensive contract for an aging player? I'm not into it. Unless they are expecting a Mike Lowell turnaround. He's two years older than when they acquired Lowell though.
  23. mvp 78
    The O's are in on him as well and Burnes just left. Hard to really say as it's still early in the offseason. I don't know if he signs before Christmas.
  24. mvp 78
    With Story playing SS fulltime, the OAA issues should diminish a little bit. Devers is a much more solid defender when he is playing next to a decent SS. Rafaela would flourish in CF. Duran would go back to LF. Anthony/Abreu would be in RF. If they can get a decent backup C, I think they'd be rounding out a much improved defensive lineup. It doesn't take much, but they were just really out of position last year.
  25. mvp 78
    No, Teoscar can hit RHP, O'Neill can't.
