Gobbledygook. Game #2. Fluke play. They should have been 77-85.
-
They should think about contraction again. I think they should start by eliminating the Rays and the Yankees.
-
Not Dinelson Lamet?
-
Not sure anyone can reasonably call Verdugo a professional.
-
That's when they had to go back and play their own division and couldn't hang. Pace doesn't matter at that point when the same is overstuffed with below .500 teams you wont face again.
-
And Verdugo/Duvall/Turner falloff.
-
MLB Pipeline isn't reliable.
-
And then they sucked down the stretch because they had to play all the teams in their division again because that's how the schedule works. You can't say, well they were good at this point and if you extrapolate it like notin says.... They were a 78 win team. They were lucky to not be worse.
-
I think Teel is better than people think. I'm higher on Anthony than Mayer. I don't care about Jordan at all. I'd deal him for a middle reliever.
-
If they only played that way for the full season!
-
1. Sign Kyle Gibson instead of Kluber (same deal as Kluber's) 2. Play Kiké at 2B instead of SS 3. Sign Elvis Andrus to play SS like we all asked That's a much better Opening Day lineup. Cheap trade for Hill at the deadline just to add to the rotation. Prospect for Lorenzen and don't run him to the ground the way the Phills did?
-
I agree. You play the kids, but supplement the kids with a few high priced FA in places where you don't have kids to play: SP1 and SP2.
-
They were 57-54 on 8/6, then got to play the dregs of the league: KC, DET, WSH, NYY. After that, they turtled. This was not a very good team. Season was over when they lost 2 of 3 in OAK in mid July.
-
Baltimore had a clearer path with the young talent they have. Sox could be in that position in '26 for sure.
-
They'll spend less than last year and most likely under 215M. That's what I've seen and heard. Maybe they sign a platoon bat like Grichuk and sign Clevinger too? That would keep them under 215. Bringing back Justin Turner could push them over that amount, but he provides some defense at 3B and 1B.
-
They aren't serious and there aren't many quality options left on the FA market.
-
I don't think it's that much of a drop off from last year's overall team. The '23 team never fired on all cylinders and kind of sputtered to 78 wins. I think this team could play up to its potential and exceed that amount. However, it's more likely to be around the prior year win %.
-
I’d trade all of those guys in the right trade.
-
If they were in the NL or in another division, not in the AL East. 84 won’t do s***.
-
Jansen is a great pitcher. The Sox just can’t afford his contract as they are a poverty franchise. It has been rumored that he has been already shopped around. That’s why he was a throw in here. It has nothing to do with his talent level, but where the Sox are at.
-
For sure…………
-
“If” they are out of it?
-
Just as a reminder, this is how we are acting when he's not even on the f***ing team. What do you think would happen if he signed in Boston? It would be a nightmare. This would get litigated over and over in the press, online and elsewhere with incorrect info (both pro and against Bauer). What a disaster. It's just a layup to not sign this guy. I hope tomorrow we can go back to being normal and fight about the 2022 trade deadline again.
-
For Valdez, you could extend him out an additional 3 years to age 35. It's not that big of a deal. Not every extension has to be 6-8 years IMO.
-
Above I asked about Javier's elbow. I was referencing Garcia. What's the status of his elbow? Would the Astros deal him? He's still in ARB years unlike Javier.
