    When I saw that, I was 100% committed to this route.
  2. mvp 78
    Why not Ha-Seong Kim who would be cheaper, but bring similar value?
  3. mvp 78
    They made a move for a guy with an "uneven" track record to put it nicely.
  4. mvp 78
    Batting average in 2024? Ok! Mayer: 258 vs LHP in AA Anthony: 308 vs LHP in AA
  5. mvp 78
    Right because the largest contracts have mostly been handed out very recently and haven't gotten to the second half of the contract when we start to see the bad returns. Can't get overly excited about a 10 year contract after year 2 IMO.
  6. mvp 78
    The Heaping Teaspoons!
  7. mvp 78
    It's PR season.
  8. mvp 78
    The Red Sox presented that to Soto that they were going to do that.
  9. mvp 78
    So Vlad is DH, Soto is LF, Devers is 3B. They would then trade and eat Masa's salary?
  10. mvp 78
    Sure, but Pujols signed for 10 years. Soto is going to sign for 15 years. You'll get the same declining years (if they happen).
  11. mvp 78
    Brooks Brannon AFL: 2nd in EV90! 11th in max EV 10th worst contact % 8th worst chase % 5th highest swing %
  12. mvp 78
    Dude, just read my posts. I said that "the Sox sold Soto on a Super team that included him AND Vlad. If they did that, would they then have to trade Casas or Masa?" That's a different argument. The Sox said BOTH which is why I asked about Casas or Masa.
  13. mvp 78
    You had a post that just said "biggest contracts ever." I didn't realize there was a 25 year old qualification.
  14. mvp 78
    He's a recent contract and a very big one. It's almost 300M!?!?
  15. mvp 78
    Not diluting it, but making it a more appropriate sample.
  16. mvp 78
    If VLAD is signed.
  17. mvp 78
    Arenado is a little bit of a question mark, but he wasn't great the past two years and he IS overpaid. It's not horrible, but definitely not a slam dunk contract. Bogaerts is 100,000,000% on the list. He could wind up co-headlining with Trout. At least Trout is marketable in his city.
  18. mvp 78
    Significant platoon issues and struggles with offspeed pitching. I don't know if we can project him to All Star just yet. Also, if we are moving him to 3b eventually, he can't possibly be a decent defender.
  19. mvp 78
    Go back in time and redo '23 and '24 with reasonable moves: Sign Swanson SS 7/180, move Story to 2B (a move we discussed on here) Sign Eflin or Eovaldi SP 3/60 Sign Wacha 1/12 Sign Kenly/Martin/Duvall/Turner/don't sign Masa/don't sign Kluber Sign Wacha SP 2/36 Sign Teoscar LF 3/48 Sign Flaherty SP 1/15 Does this turn the Sox into the division leaders? No, but it keeps them closer to the playoffs IMO.
  20. mvp 78
    They were building Soto up on a SUPER TEAM that included Vlad Jr. They trading Casas or eating Masa's contract?
  21. mvp 78
    Mike Trout 426M Stanton 324M Xander 280M Arenado 260M So an 80% hit rate? Remains to be seen for some of the other guys though. That hit rate could drop a little.
  22. mvp 78
    I haven't listened to that one yet. Listened to last week's SoxProspect's podcast this morning.
  23. mvp 78
    Wilson has been a good to great reliever in the past. He's a lefty and the Sox don't have a lot of great LHP options. He had a 3.29 FIP at the ASB. 919 OPS vs LHB (6 HR's) in 2024 vs career 704 OPS vs LHB. Home OPS of 931 (7 HR's). Cincy had a 142 park factor for LHB hitting HR's for the last 3 seasons far and away leading MLB. Working with Bailey and getting him out of Cincy could be a good way to turn Wilson around. If it doesn't work, it's a very cheap contract to DFA.
  24. mvp 78
    Mookie was the biggest screw up this team has had in many decades. They couldn't have bungled that worse.
  25. mvp 78
    He's still young AND he's a LHP. No reason to DFA him yet. 3.70 FIP with the old horrible pitching coach. 87th percentile hard hit% 64th percentile GB% 73rd percentile xERA 75th percentile offspeed run value Metrics really hate his 4 seamer. Just let Bailey work with him and see what you got. This team isn't stocked with LHP talent.
