    It's the same thing that Mazz suggested yesterday. I don't know if it's groupthink or just them having a good read on ownership by now. I've said all along that Monty was going to get overpaid. I've said all along that Snell wasn't my type of pitcher. I could see them going for Monty because he seems like he could at least be a workhorse to give you high quality innings, but that's something you can get a little more cheaply. Makes sense that they would potentially skip past these two.

    @JustinMLB Zack Wheeler, Walker Buehler, Corbin Burnes, Mike Soroka, John Means, Max Fried are all UFAs after 2024. It’s a good time to snag an ace if you need one. Time to start the Off-Season 24-25 Thread!

    @tylermilliken_ According to @alexspeier, it doesn’t seem like the Red Sox have changed their stance about trading for Corbin Burnes or Shane Bieber. “Burnes is an unlikely target given he’ll be a free agent after next season and seems unlikely to sign an extension before testing the market. Bieber likewise has just one year of control remaining, though he seems at least open to the idea of a longer-term deal.” Also, Shota Imanaga is expected to visit the states next week and could be using Eduardo Rodriguez’s deal as a “reference point.”

    Also, what is with the "wild talk?"
  5. mvp 78
    You think Stroman will be 30AAV?
  6. mvp 78
    If he knew, he wouldn't have done the Betts dance at the Winter Weekend and then told everyone it was going to be awesome. He has no clue on how to be coy.

    @LouMerloni It’s time to walk the dog in the morning and reassess where the Sox are and what’s the best path. Just telling you now, you’re not going to like it. https://twitter.com/LouMerloni/status/1738283709139144771 Includes audio. Get it straight from the Guvnuh's mouth... If ownership won't pay for 10 years of Yamamoto, there's no way they'd pay for 7 years of a lesser pitcher in Snell or Montgomery.

    Manea is awful. If he couldn't be successful with the Padres, it won't work out anywhere. Lorenzen isn't an improvement over the guys already on staff IMO. Once you get down to that level, just go with Crawford and Houck.
  9. mvp 78
    I don't really like Merrifield at all so that doesn't move the needle.
  10. mvp 78
    For example, his pitch band is more similar to Maeda than Yamamoto. Maeda is good, but not someone teams have been willing to give 6 years to in his 30's.
  11. mvp 78
    Age, plus they only pitch once per week in Japan on a set schedule. I'm not saying he'll suck, but that there's increased risk that his game won't play as well.
  12. mvp 78
    Yeah dood, you're only looking at one season. As I previously said, Stroman has a long track record you can bank on. Lugo doesn't have a track record outside the cozy confines of PetCo and the Padres defense.
  13. mvp 78
    Yoshida is going to do some cooking this year. Just don't have him play too much LF.
  14. mvp 78
    That Spring Training interview with Bloom and his Whistle Pig was cringe.
  15. mvp 78
    If you redo that offseason and spend the Hanley/Pablo money differently: SP Ervin Santana SP AJ Burnett (don't sign Masterson either) 3B Chase Headley OF Nelson Cruz
  16. mvp 78
    Are you only a patsy if you don't know you're a patsy? I think Crag knows what the deal is and is just willing to work under those terms. Not sure it makes him a patsy. He just took a CBO position for a declining franchise that is now a mid-market team.
  17. mvp 78
    The story just reports what Ken Rosenthal says "that the Sox NEED to be in on them." That's all. There's no smoke.
  18. mvp 78
    Is this one of their AI written articles?
  19. mvp 78
    Imanaga is interesting, but his numbers are worse than Yamamoto's in Japan, especially in innings. He could be great, but I worry about his lower velo not playing as well over here in MLB. I'd be worried about years 4-6 in that deal.
  20. mvp 78
    The comp to Lugo is the YOUNGER Michael Lorenzen. I'm not sure I'd invest a lot of money in either guy. Stroman is consistently a 2-4 fWAR SP year in and year out. Giolito was a 4 fWAR guy in '21 and consistently pitches every 5th day. It wouldn't be a huge shocker for him to do that one or two more times in the next four years. At least you'd expect him to be Porcello-esque. With Lugo, there's not track record.
  21. mvp 78
    It's just a wild statement.
  22. mvp 78
    I don't think Giolito is getting that much. If I'm just grabbing one player it's Stroman. If I'm spending a max of $55 it's Stroman, Montas, Duvall, Merrifield. For 75 I'd add in Giolito.

    @TheRealJPap58 Verdugo I mean Vertigo is a Bitch. Cora has his players and teammates backs more than anyone in the game. You aired yourself out by being late, lazy and unproductive. If I played for Cora I’m drilling this bitch, just saying. I like Paplebon more as an ex-player than as a current player, I think.
  24. mvp 78
    If he's truly a Yalie, he'll tell Henry he was confused and spend the weekend in Springfield, VT.
  25. mvp 78
    Pretty sus that there are no reports about them being close to the 300M amount right now. They should be either trying to save face or at least out there showing that they are doing the legwork.
