I agree. Most likely, Perales or Gonzalez winds up in the pen and has decent value there. I'm not sure either of them will ever be as good as Bello is since their bb rates are way too high. We'll see if they can get something figured out this year, otherwise I'm just going to not be all that interest in either going forward.

The previous GM could have made deals to fill the holes rather than just shrug his shoulders.
-
DFA'd by 3 different ballclubs last year. Benchwarmer for WOO.
-
HOU lost a lot and had a better GM at the helm when the players started leaving.
-
Fine with me.
-
That's why some of the "why did they fire Bloom" stuff is easy enough for me to ignore. Bloom definitely had his faults. Even if you liked his direction, he made some big mistakes along the way.
-
I can't say I'm "excited" per se, but I think his trades so far have been competent. Wish he had done more, but seems like he's been reigned in. If he was the CBO in previous years, he may have been able to deal more of those expiring contracts that I wanted to see moved.
-
Beltran -1.2 fWAR, zero impact for HOU, bad example McCann only 2 seasons and less important than Christian Vazquez who I didn't mention Porcello was a fair comp for Keuchel who you mentioned.
-
Time seems to be running out, but there are still a few names left.
-
Let the contracts run out, offered QO's BUT OOOOPSIE WE WENT OVER THE CBT STUPIDLY SO THE COMP PICKS ARE 4TH ROUNDERS INSTEAD OF LATE 1ST ROUNDERS!!!!
-
A's don't have a single player on BTV that matches Duran's value. BTV accepts Mitch Keller for Jarren Duran
-
Last night I watched the very first episode of Black Mirror. I think this season of the Red Sox will probably be reminiscent of that.
-
Most likely it's Theo needing to tell Henry to loosen the purse strings or allow Crag to change the direction the org is headed. Right now, we're in a waiting game on prospects that may never pan out.
-
Was 2021 Chaim's 2013?
-
The most likely scenario. All their eggs are in the Marcelo/Anthony/Teel basket.
-
Per BTV: BOS Duran for HOU Javier Garcia Pressly $25M
-
Chris Freakin' Sale Xander Freakin' Bogaerts JD Freakin' Martinez Mookie Freakin' Betts Rick Freakin' Porcello (CY Winner a la Keuchel) E Freakin' Rod Andrew Freakin' Benintendi ('21 GG, '22 AS) Nathan Freakin' Eovaldi (had a pretty good playoffs this year) Craig Freakin' Kimbrel (108 saves in 3 years for BOS, 3 AS games)

Sox need to be willing to lose a trade if they actually want to compete this season. That's why the Sox always had one foot out the door under Bloom, he was never bold enough.
-
Lose your fanbase and not win any more games with one weird trick!
-
The problem comes when you compare a guy who pitches 50% in relief with a guy who pitches entirely in the rotation. There isn't a one to one correlation with their stats.
-
Sox don't really need to add relief arms. If they were going to add a 7M relief arm, it should be a higher leverage guy. Martin only makes 8.8M.
-
They may have no idea.
-
Yes, sir.
-
And then Baseball America tanked the farm's ranking to 13th, so maybe waiting on the farm isn't a great idea. Yes, comical.
-
For the Sox, a front line starter is anything better than Bello. I think you could get someone on a short term contract for Duran that is better than Bello.
