    3. Can the Red Sox get another infielder? Boston surprised a good many onlookers in the industry by trading young left-hander Connelly Early for Curtis Mead amid Mead’s post-hype breakout in Washington. Mead, of course, fractured his wrist almost immediately after the swap, putting the Red Sox right back in the market for an infielder — ideally a shortstop, it seems. They’ve tried on Miami’s Otto Lopez and the Angels’ Zach Neto but been unwilling to put elite prospects like 20-year-old shortstop Franklin Arias on the block. Is there an under-the-radar target they could pursue? Will they instead cave and bite the bullet on someone like Arias or right-hander Anthony Eyanson? And, will the Sox finally subtract from their long-publicized glut of lefty-swinging outfielders? I think it's likely that if they do acquire a SS, it's someone we're not already talking about. They go out and get a guy that is a marginal upgrade who has no control and it doesn't cost very much.

    Doesn't every team have bench/role players? I think the Sox relied on too many of them early on and the results weren't there. We would have seen less of them if Masa was the everyday DH. I agree that I'd take them over Story and Mayer.
  3. mvp 78
    Which of the players are the reason for keeping it running fast. If they are pulled of the line, does it cause the train to slow down? Monasterio has been killing it, but Story is going to come back. Sox have always deferred to him.

    If they aren't trading Arias, fine. DFA Story in the offseason. Trade Masa and eat 50% of salary. Trade Duran for prospects. C Narvaez 1B Contreras 2B Abrams SS Arias 3B Durbin RF Abreu CF Rafaela LF Anthony DH Mead Bench Monasterio, Seigler, Wong, OF 4 Acquisition

    Noted Red Sox hater was well above the curve on his love for Arias for a while.
  6. mvp 78
    Is the upgrade replacing Narvaez or Wong?

    4/1 - 6/24/24 103 IP, 2.18 ERA, 2.22 FIP, 2 HR, 101 K, 18 BB Previous career high in innings was 106. 6/25 - 9/23/24 75 IP, 4.42 ERA, 4.83 FIP, 9 HR, 53 K, 30 BB

    I think they could certainly upgrade Romy/Jones and do it cheaply. I think whatever it takes to acquire Abrams and Neto is probably too much. I wouldn't deal Arias for either. They already acquired Mead for next season, so if you get Abrams or Neto, what's the lineup? Moving Mead to DH? Moving Mead to LF?
  9. mvp 78
    He only has one year left of control. I'm fine with leaving him in the pen. He looked good there previously.
  10. mvp 78
    I just don't know what else they'll do with Story TBH. I don't think they'll move him to 2b midseason. I don't think they'll be able to trade him at the deadline. I really doubt they'll DFA before the end of the year. All three of those options are viable this offseason IMO.
  11. mvp 78
    Only 13 of Garcia's 23 HR would have been out at Fenway.
  12. mvp 78
    I don't understand trading for a SS that profiles better as a 2b.
  13. mvp 78
    I don't care. The names that have been thrown out in trade talks haven't been worth it to me. I'd rather keep Arias in house. No matter what, they have Story coming back and aren't going to make any moves to keep him off the roster. Story becomes a DH? Then Roman comes back at some point? Eventually, all the glue guys that kept this train going are going to be left off the roster and the chemistry will be gone. I'm tempted to just not mess with a good thing right now. The trade deadline prices are just too exorbitant. Just construct a complete roster in the offseason.
  14. mvp 78
    Sure, he’s hot for this stretch. Mookie was great for years.
  15. mvp 78
    Me too. I just think the Sox don’t move him midseason.
  16. mvp 78
    No.
  17. mvp 78
    Get Arias reps at 2b now so that he could play there when Story is at SS in a few weeks.
  18. mvp 78
    I did say Dodger Stadium was a HR friendly park at the start of the series FWIW.
  19. mvp 78
    It depends on who he's replacing. If he's replacing Wong, it's probably a lateral move.
  20. mvp 78
    Most MLB players have their own personal hitting coaches. I don't think that's a knock on the Sox. Duran has tweaked his swing over and over again ever since he got to the org. He's never stuck with a swing even when he's found success. We don't know if he's listening to coaches or just doing his own thing. All we know is that he's in a huge funk.
  21. mvp 78
    I agree. I'd have him platoon with Seigler. Put Cheng at SS. Romy to AAA.
  22. mvp 78
    Jarren Duran gets put under anesthesia for his larger tattoos. Stolen valor! DFA
  23. mvp 78
    He's got the arm for it.
  24. mvp 78
    Price will be too high for a guy that is always injured.
  25. mvp 78
    The team had a terrible record prior to July when Duran was starting. They are winning in spite of him. Since 7/3: 2531 OPS.
