Or he goes to a field that doesn't allow him to have an 884 Home OPS considering how lefty friendly Fenway can be. Butterfly man could be impacted by the butterfly effect in a trade and perform worse elsewhere.
-
I think Sox are overloaded at LHB. If they needed to move a top level prospect, Mayer seemed like the best guy to move to me. I'd keep Teel and Anthony. Anthony has the highest ceiling. Teel has the highest floor.
-
Only highlighting one college arm? Yikes.
-
If only they had a guy like Tzu Wei Lin as depth though!
-
Overdue for a healthy season or two?
-
A blue chip SS who will need to move off position, has a platoon split and struggles with offspeed pitches. He could bring a nice return though.
-
Depends on the return.
-
Who is going to want oft injured Story AND unproductive Yoshida. Hard sell with those two. Easier to hold your nose and keep Story who can at least field competently.
-
Maybe we need to come up with a TalkSox tracker. My vote: Anthony Mayer Teel Campbell Perales Bleis Cespedes Fitts Zanetello Yorke Arias Meidroth Sandlin Rodriguez Johanfran Paulino Castro Lugo Blaze Jhostynxon
-
Duran CF, Hamilton 2B, O’Neill LF, Devers 3B, Wong C, Yoshida DH, Abreu RF, Smith 1B, Rafaela SS
-
If Mayer is dealt for a starter, it's in the offseason. I don't see Breslow doing a blockbuster this month.
-
Reverse splits for batters aren't really a career long trend. Matt Duffy was known as a THE reverse split guy, but his splits trended towards even over his career (714/681). For Wong, it's most likely a blip in the map as it is with most MLB hitters. With MLB pitchers, reverse splits can be notable because of pitch mix.
-
IDK, Abreu did have a career reverse split through 2021! What if that continued?!?!
-
The cool thing about Worcester is that it's like being in gloomy Pawtucket, but without having downtown Providence next door.
-
Just trade them for cost controlled starters!
-
I'm fine with trading Mayer. Hard to rely on Story for 2025 though. May need a good defensive SS to plop on the bench. Need to figure out what to do with Yoshida too. Eat salary if necessary.
-
I don't know!!! They should have learned by now to just agree with me.
-
He grew up playing in Houston. He's probably ok with it.
-
The trend is a regular split if you looked at his current numbers.
-
And what will certainly please the olds: @ChrisCotillo It has not been a smooth first impression for Vaughn Grissom in Boston so far. “I just want to play my game. If they like it, they like it. If they don’t, f*** it,” he said. “I’m here for a reason. I’m sure there’s a next guy up if they don’t like it." Grissom on his season: “It’s tough. But it could be worse. You have to trust the process. Everybody has their (bad) year. This is mine. In a way, it’s nice to get it out of the way, but it sucks. Not a lot of guys go through this game and don’t get hurt."

Wingenter can go to AAA. They acquired him because he needed to be added to a 40 man, not an active roster.
-
Regardless, Iggy was never in the org with Moncada and Guerra was still in the DSL at the time. Calling them "depth" together is awkward as hell.
-
Iglesias - traded 2013 Moncada - signed 2015, traded 2016 Chavis - wasn't even out of A ball at the end of 2016 I'd take the list I put in as I only included guys in AA and above and they are actually close to being ready at the same time and in the organization at the same time. Tzu-Wei Lin wasn't even a realistic prospect until 2017 when Ben was long gone.
-
747 vs RHP 648 vs LHP By the end of the year, the MLB career reverse split will be gone if he keeps his current pace.
-
You said "continues with his reverse splits" but this year he has normal splits. 22 AAA: 967 vs LHP 798 vs RHP I don't see him as a reverse split guy. At the very least, he's a guy you don't need to worry about platooning.
