He was diagnosed with AFB back in 2011. It really hasn't held him back considerably.
-
The options are (25 HR's and under 25% K, RHB, OF): Acuna, Betts, Julio Rodriguez and Tatis.
-
Would SEA want to do that deal? They already have a pretty good SS.
-
And you need 2 Catchers anyway? I don't see any reason not to pair Garver and Teel unless you see more value in pairing Teel and Wong. However, Wong's skills behind the plate are mainly based on his arm and Teel already has that part down. What's he going to learn from Wong there?
-
Well, you said "played games."
-
Or trade Wong?

I'm not assuming the best case scenario at all. I have no idea what kind of Duvall stat you are looking at. Age 28: 157 G Age 29: 138 G Age 30: 41 G injured Age 31: 57 G COVID year Age 32: 146 G Age 33: 86 G Age 34: 92 G

Verdugo is proven to be an average (at best) OFer. Duran and Rafaela both have ceilings that are far higher than that. I'm not sure Abreu is that much of a drop off from Verdugo that you would substantially miss him.
-
This attitude is why the Sox hired Crag instead of you.
-
I don't want to trade the other guys.

@MaxTGoodman Hal Steinbrenner: "We did not get to where we needed to be with run production last year. It was probably our biggest problem." Hiring a new hitting coach and focusing on fixing the #Yankees' offense will be a focus this winter. Asked to provide more specifics on what could change this winter, Hal Steinbrenner brought up bunting and how it's becoming a bigger part of the game again. "Aaron Boone doesn't think that the #Yankees are teaching players to bunt enough within player development."

@MaxTGoodman Hal Steinbrenner: "I do believe that a team shouldn't need a $300 million payroll. The Rangers didn't, the Astros didn't. What you need is a good mix of veteran players and young players. We're going to get a bit younger."
-
Too bad. Signing Gurriel isn't going to fix that problem for you.
-
I just think DH is a better fit for Masa. He was a fulltime DH in Japan and he'll be less likely to wear down there in '24. When he was playing well, Masa was a force.
-
I would trade him so that you could get something useful back like a starting 2B or as part of a package for a SP.
-
His ISO from the past two seasons is .068 which is pretty close to Ozzie Smith's career rate. He's got Ozzie's bat with below average defense. Going back years ago and projecting him to regain nonexistent power is a fool's errand. Pass on that loser.

LF Duran CF Rafaela RF Duvall Bench Abreu, Refsnyder

There are a TON of options in FA so Nick Pivetta's trade value would be low. There aren't a ton of FA options in FA at OF so Verdugo's trade value could be overinflated. Sell! Sell! Sell!
-
Yeah, I just don't see the point in adding another pitcher much worse than Bello if they really want to compete. Another guy down i the Pivetta/Houck/Crawford range just seems like a waste to me too.
-
I think they do a decent job with MLB guys, but the MiLB guys are just complete shots in the dark. I'm not sure where they get those values from.
-
I'd rather trade him for something now and make room for the younger OFers than lose him for nothing next offseason. I don't think Mr 1.8 fWAR Verdugo is worth holding a spot for.
-
IDK. I think either Teel is undervalued or Yorke is overvalued because they are approximately the same player on there. I wouldn't trade Teel for some other team's Nick Yorke.
-
He's Nick Pivetta with a higher ceiling. I guess his xFIP was pretty decent prior to last year, but I just think his peripherals are dogshit. Can you trust him to be more than a #4? That's not really what the Sox need.
-
Rhys Hoskins and Teoscar didn't get offered a QO. What this shows me is that I highly doubt Alex Verdugo will get offered one either next season. His overall profile is similar to those two guys in value. May as well trade him.
