    Yeah, he's been a roller coaster. He's a 4 seam guy. May be best suited as a team's #2 like Houck?
  2. mvp 78
    Maybe DET doesn't see itself as a playoff team going forward? Maybe they think the infusion of young talent would help their poor offense (21st ranked wRC+) and extend their window?
  3. mvp 78
    If the Sox fixed his splitter, he'd go back to being a successful starter. However, Sox need a starter that is better than a reclamation Jordan Montgomery. They already have Giolito. Why have both?
  4. mvp 78
    The Rays would hold onto Duran for two more years though. Too soon to trade him for the Rays IMO.
  5. mvp 78
    Opposing hitters thought really highly of his stuff this year.
  6. mvp 78
    Is that what they heard from Jordan directly or what Boras said that Jordan said?

    Jay Jaffe's article on Luis: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/luis-tiant-1940-2024-the-cuban-dervish/

    We're at the point where we're not advocating for what they should do, but what we think they may do under their own dumb constraints. Perfect offseason would be TOTR starter, two really good relievers, deal Masa, backup defensive catcher.

    The owner has put all his eggs in the big 3 (now big 4) basket and it'd be a complete surprise if he trades any of them. He doesn't want to spend big dollars in free agency. How else would they acquire a TOTR starter?!?!?
  10. mvp 78
    It's what we're stuck talking about when the owner isn't committed to spending anymore.

    Seems like Breslow wants to acquire a guy a year before he turns into an ace. Would it take Duran to acquire him? Maybe. I don't think that's the trade he makes though. Lots of rumors about Casas right now too, but I don't see that one either.

    The law of averages is now kicking the Sox' ass right now too. 🤮

    People have read my posts long enough to know that I'm shameless on here. 🤷‍♀️

    I think the idea of the article is fair. It's just "they should CONSIDER a Duran for Kirby OR Gilbert trade." I think there are valid questions about 2024 being a career year for Duran. An ankle or knee injury to Duran would have the same impact as an elbow injury to Gilbert.

    The last time the Yankees were below .500 was 1992. Since 1995, they've missed the playoffs only 5 times. Seems like they are doing it the right way!
  16. mvp 78
    It's even more of a crapshoot now that more teams can get in. However, a strong payroll position should get you entry into the playoffs. You don't even have a chance if you're sitting at .500 or worse in mid September. Sox have a good farm system and the means to acquire good FA's. That's how the Dodgers have managed to stay competitive. Why don't the Sox go that route?
  17. mvp 78
    I don't think Duran is worth Skubal or Skenes. Duran is probably worth a Tanner Houck equivalent.
  18. mvp 78
    I agree with the premise of the article. It would just be hard to find a trade partner. Might need a 3 team deal.
  19. mvp 78
    It wouldn't get a good return because of that salary.
  20. mvp 78
    Lots of issues/concerns for the Phils at the MLB level going forward. Just as many issues with the MiLB level right now too. I think we all remember that feeling well. I was happy with DD while he was here and understand the limitations he brings to an org.
  21. mvp 78
  22. mvp 78
    Has Breslow openly stated that he wants to rotate through the DH position?
  23. mvp 78
    My kids haven't shown interest in that one. The Mount Rushmore would be: Simpsons, Amphibia, Big City Greens, Amazing World of Gumball.
  24. mvp 78
    I couldn't see a Padres offer listed anywhere aside from it stated that Soto met with the owner, but a deal couldn't get done due to the owner's declining health before he passed.
  25. mvp 78
    IDK, Nats had a 15/440 offer, but that was a few years earlier and those years are way too long at a much lower AAV.
