    I can't answer your question. I just believe he won't let Nola leave Philly. DD builds all his teams on stars. Without them, he has nothing.
  2. mvp 78
    Ben loves prospects. I think if you dangle a shiny object in front of him, you can get him to bite.
  3. mvp 78
    Cautiously optimistic? I think they get one really good to great arm and probably another starter of some sort. Not sure what else they do. I just think we need a year off from force feeding the fanbase the buy low options.

    They just don't let Henry in front of a microphone because they believe he has foot in mouth disease (aka he says stuff they don't want to be public like "hell yeah we're going to be under the CBT this year" which then get edited out of the NESN broadcast).

    You use the farm to develop talent into future stars AND to trade as assets when the need arises. We've seen from the previous few years that this team has a huge hole at starting pitching and there isn't a lot of help in the minor leagues. If they are going to move him for an impact arm, it would make sense.

    I don't think PITT does that trade even though the numbers work out on BTV.
  7. mvp 78
    It's NOT in abundance though. Everyone else will be bidding on it too. Nola won't be leaving the Phillies because DD loves his stars. Texas is going to overpay for Montgomery. Ohtani is hurt. Urias is garbage. That's 4 big names already off the board. I guess the Sox bid on Yamamoto against everyone else? That leaves Gray, Snell, Lugo, Gibson, Flaherty and worse. Cardinals stated they wanted 3 guys so they'll be in the bidding on at least 2 of those. Mets will probably go hard for somebody. Will Sox fans be happy with Yamamoto and Giolito? Maybe Crag goes after Snell because he loves velo and he throws harder than the other guys mentioned?

    They could trade a guy like Duran for Bednar maybe? Mayer has too much value for Bednar. Per BTV: Mayer Rafaela for Reynolds Bednar Cruz
  9. mvp 78
    For a reliever? No.
  10. mvp 78
    They'd be dumb to not at least consider trading a guy who is already injured and may not pan out for an established starter.
  11. mvp 78
    A Rookie of the Year win or a top three finish in MVP or Cy Young voting in his pre-arbitration seasons would net the team that extra draft pick. If the international draft is implemented, he could earn the club a selection if second or third in Rookie of the Year, or fourth or fifth in Cy Young.[/i I believe that the Sox don't get a PPI pick as there is no International Draft yet. I've looked but haven't seen anywhere that states that 2nd or 3rd place gets an amateur draft pick or international money.

    Stop being a bitch and accept that Devers and Casas are fine where they are.
  13. mvp 78
    Breslow waited too long! WTH?!?
  14. mvp 78
    Sox going to eat salary?
  15. mvp 78
    Well I think the Twinkies offer makes sense.
  16. mvp 78
    IF they can stay healthy through ST.
  17. mvp 78
    I tried to find a MIFer that could field adequately, was RHB and played on a team that possibly needed Verdugo. That they also had a LHRP that worked was pure GM'ing skill on my part!
  18. mvp 78
    Verdugo to MINN for Farmer (UTIL) and Thielbar (LHRP) works per BTV
  19. mvp 78
    Nobody is expecting to get much. Maybe they can find a guy to play 2B for a year and be competent with the bat and the glove.
  20. mvp 78
    I think he may have been surprised by the timing, but not surprised that he left. He was probably just not ready to field questions about why the Sox couldn't keep a franchise guy like that.
  21. mvp 78
    1. I think they need a #1 and a #2 rather than lower rung guys like the Wacha and Hills of the world. 2. If they go with what they go, obviously Story is the best choice at SS for now. Mayer to SS next season? Mayer to 2B? Mayer to 3B? Figure that out next offseason. 3. Hedges only signed for 5M last season. That's Urias' nontender. 6. Seems like an ok plan. I have heard rumblings about Rafaela getting MIF time too. 8. I agree that they shouldn't force a LHP into the bullpen at the expense of a better arm. The bullpen isn't really a problem and should only be better next year.
  22. mvp 78
    Old Red seems reluctant to even acknowledge that Breslow is under the Xmas tree.
  23. mvp 78
    That's Bloom's plan.
  24. mvp 78
    Having Story play a full season at 2B or SS will be a huge help. Another year of development for Casas will help. Additional playing time for Rafaela in CF will help. Swapping Yoshida for Duran would also be a pretty big help in LF. Signing Hedges to play 50% of the games would also help. I listed a lot of fixes in my post.
  25. mvp 78
    It was figured out under the old CBO in 43 games?
