    The guys that can actually impact the Sox the most (the top of the 50) are generally gone. Only one of the top 10 projected fWAR guys is still available (Bregman). Only 9 of the top 30 are available and vast majority of those don't seem like fits. Only unsigned guy that has been linked to the Sox on the front page of FanGraphs Free Agent Tracker is Bregman. It's either Bregman and/or another reliever. That's it for this offseason.

    The vast majority of MLB players have one or more major flaws. The Mets just signed a guy for 750M who isn't a good defender. How many all around players are really left in the game?

    Henry not being consistent isn't entirely a surprise. Also, Henry giving the CBO the keys to the car and then just taking them away rather than micromanaging the signings is what we actually want. Right? Did he give DD autonomy he wouldn't give other CBO's and then just regretted it later on?

    His value took a huge hit with his IL stint last season.

    https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/baseball-americas-2025-scout-survey-evaluators-fear-games-direction-amid-doom-and-gloom-offseason/ Free BA article on an offseason scout industry survey. Many scouts are worried that baseball has leaned to far towards analytics and isn't relying on scouts anymore. Orgs considered to be the most scout friendly: Dodgers, Padres, Royals Orgs considered to be unfriendly to scouts (0 scouts stated these teams were most friendly and more that 10 scouts stated these teams as being least friendly): Guardians, O's, Red Sox Which orgs are best at identifying talent: Red Sox 0% If the Sox have a lot of financial might and scouts don't count against the CBT, it is really foolish not to spend in this area even if it's not your highest priority. Mixing scouting and analytics seems like the best bet rather than leaning solely on analytics. We'll have to see how this impacts the Sox over the next 3-5 years.

    They have the ability, but not the desire.
  8. mvp 78
    And how's that working out?
  9. mvp 78
    The reason he was listed as being hard to work with was that he didn't like Sam Kennedy being in every meeting. I wonder who pushed that complaint to the media?
  10. mvp 78
    This was a year a lot of posters were waiting on and noting the pitching talent available. Now that it's almost over and the Sox haven't signed anyone, it's a bad year?
  11. mvp 78
    Martin or Kelly would be great. I'm not sure Kiké would be an upgrade at SS. He has positional versatility, but he was a nightmare in 2023. Iglesias can't play SS anymore. They've had several opportunities to bring him back and don't really seem inclined to even when they've had a huge MIF need.

    They had to go in a different direction once the core of the team was going to be walking out the door. If Mookie could have stayed, JH would have kept the ball rolling IMO.

    Ben was fired because he couldn't keep the Sox from falling into last place every other year. He also had some pretty bad signings. Bloom was fired because he couldn't keep the Sox from falling into last place every other year. He also had some pretty bad signings. You can't say that about DD. Why was he fired? He won the division back to back to back. He won a WS. One off year shouldn't get a CBO/GM fired.
  14. mvp 78
    DD got fired because he created a payroll mess that led to Mookie being traded away.
  15. mvp 78
    If he plays 140 games, he’s easier to deal again.
  16. mvp 78
    I’m impugning the blogger.
  17. mvp 78
    Maybe. I just don’t see the need when Refsnyder exists.

    PECOTA and Steamer also had the 4th place Twins winning their division instead last year. Also really undervalued the Royals (who added a lot last offseason), Mets, Padres and Brewers (who won the division the previous season). 🫠 They even missed the White Sox win total by 25 games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  19. mvp 78
    Both PECOTA and Steamer projected the Cardinals to go from worst to first in 2024 and their season last year is now causing a sell off.
  20. mvp 78
    They had the same '22 preseason odds as the Phillies who ended up in the WS. '21: 85-77 (not a banner year for Steamer)
  21. mvp 78
    Steamer '24: 79-83 '23: 81-81 '22: 86-76
  22. mvp 78
    Romy has options as well.
  23. mvp 78
    Need flyball strikeout pitchers since the OF is good.
  24. mvp 78
    In order for Wilson to be squeezed out, they'd need to find a LHP that can clearly beat him out (aside from Chapman). SoxProspects projects him as starting on the 60 man with Sandoval. After that, they'd use his option to work his way back in AAA rather than MLB IMO. Penrod? Doubtful. Bernardino has one more year so he may start the year in AAA as well, but he's the only guy that might beat out Wilson at some point.
  25. mvp 78
    Once they added him to the 40, they used him because they were running out of arms by the end of the year. They added him to get him to pitch in BOS to see if it would be worth keeping him around. I think he's closer to Shugart than SoxProspects would like you to believe.
