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.
-
I'd trade Mayer before I'd trade Anthony or Teel.
-
I just meant the part about moving up in the Cardinals system.
-
Well, we don't really know what the offseason budget is. If it's 50M, then there is no "rest" for Duvall.
-
For Merrifield, bref lists the most similar batter as Bill Mueller. As Fred Durst says, you know what time it is...
-
Makes no sense if he was already being considered for a top position weeks after being fired.
-
Or just sign Yamamoto and Montgomery and call it an offseason?
-
If you only have 50M to spend from that list, does Yamamoto/Ryu/Merrifield make sense? You get a #1, a serviceable starter and fix the 2B problem while providing additional speed and a RHB.

@tylermilliken_ . @TheAthletic put out their Top 40 Free Agents big board and this is who they listed as their “best fits” being the Red Sox. ⚾️ Aaron Nola (6 years, 180 MM) ⚾️ Yoshinobu Yamamoto (7 years, 203 MM) ⚾️ Cody Bellinger (6 years, 162 MM) ⚾️ Jordan Montgomery (5 years, 105 MM) ⚾️ Eduardo Rodriguez (5 years, 80 MM) ⚾️ Marcus Stroman (3 years, 63 MM) ⚾️ Tim Anderson (1 year, 14 MM) ⚾️ Hyun-Jin Ryu (1 year, 11 MM) ⚾️ Whit Merrifield (2 years, 19 MM)

Per BTV, Kutter and Houck is fair value for Cease.
-
I'd say it's 50/50 they sign one of the tippy top guys.
-
Eovaldi opted out because he thought he was going to get a much bigger contract, which is why he initially walked away from the Sox contract, but came crawling back asking for them to offer it again.
-
Why not just take a year off? It's not like being away from the game for a year is going to make everyone forget who you are?
-
Dead pull hitter, but Statcast notes his 27 HR's would decrease to 22 if they were all hit at Fenway.
-
A 26 year old who only posted 781 OPS in AAA this year and had a 33% k rate in MLB. Marlowe was SEA's 27th raked prospect last season. Not sure he's an upgrade for the uncertain options the Sox already have in the OF.
-
Today is the first day of FA, FYI.
-
If they offer him a QO, he takes it. No way is he getting close to 20M AAV on the open market.

Craig Breslow hired as Head Of Baseball Operations

Bello had a 4.24 bb/9, 0.16 HR/9, 404 BABIP in 13 GS in '22. He finished his season strong, but he wouldn't have been the first young pitcher to have a sophomore slump once the book got around.
