    If you redraft 2020, he's probably taken in the 1st round. Sox ended up being right. The draft is a crapshoot, Sox got that pick right. The 3rd rounder that year seems like trade bait. Projected light tower power who shows power very little in game. Glove doesn't really play anywhere, but maybe becomes a 1B/3B/LF replacement for Dalbec?

    Good tax situation in TEX, I've heard.

    I'm just reporting what I heard so that others don't have to listen to the podcast unless they want to hear the dulcet tones of Tony Mazz... We do have a recent track record of Henry not wanting to spend. Until he does so, that's where we're at. They hired someone to tweak, not teardown, the Bloom formula. Until they actually go FULL THROTTLE, they are a middle of the pack spending team. Colorado Rockies East.

    He was a guy they liked. Most other teams valued him in the 2nd round. I was just refuting the "everyone was praising Bloom for the pick" comment. That was NOT the consensus at the time.
  5. mvp 78
    They'd need to overbid. He didn't visit. Owner didn't meet with him directly. I'm not sure what his actual preference is city wise. He grew up a Tanaka fan. He likes Ohtani.

    FO probably doesn't realize how dysfunctional they are.

    It's probably 5-10% chance. Sox probably see themselves as being darkhorses now from what I heard from Carrabis/Mazz on today's pod. There is a belief that if they miss out on Yamamoto, that they will NOT go big on another pitcher like Monty or Snell this season. They would wait until next season or explore a trade. They mentioned the Sox track record of bringing in guy via trade like Pedro, Beckett, Schilling and Sale rather than via FA. It's just harder to do as the Sox don't have the pitching talent to give back. Would have to maybe be a 3 team deal. There is a big risk that the Sox continue to somewhat punt and not be a top tier team because Henry feels he's already gotten what he needs out of the franchise and that people will show up to Fenway regardless if they are Sox fans or visiting fans. They may be happy to spend in the 10-15th range and hope to splurge once in a while.

    Half of the players selected above him are in the same position he is in. Everyone was QUESTIONING this pick as it was seen as a stretch pick for a guy that should have been taken in the 2nd round at best. He'll be in AAA this year, which is close enough for a mid-year callup.
  9. mvp 78
    Oh no! Get SD to cover part.
  10. mvp 78
    He’s been out since 2012.
  11. mvp 78
    I'd say they should try to work out a trade the seems reasonable, provide your best extension offer (250M+) and back out if Burnes declines.

    I know a former high K Sox pitcher that could really help with the pitching program: https://www.fangraphs.com/players/ugueth-urbina/216/stats?position=P
  13. mvp 78
    Should be the Oakland Raiders of the MLB. f*** it, trade for Machado too...
  14. mvp 78
    FA $$$ doesn't typically go down year to year. The marketplace has only gone upwards.

    The Glasnow trade was contingent on an extension. That's probably the only way the Sox do it as well.
  17. mvp 78
    He wasn't in 2023.
  18. mvp 78
    Yeah, call TB and inquire about Franco! He could come cheap!
  19. mvp 78
    Is Sandoval better than Crawford? Just do a cheap trade for Drury.
  20. mvp 78
    I wouldn't necessarily trade Yorke to clear space. I'd trade Yorke if you were bringing back pitching. He has a chance to stick as an everyday regular now that his glove is average at 2B.
  21. mvp 78
    I mean, that's all about TRADE value, not current value. I don't think it's necessarily the same thing. Abreu has a certain amount of value over the next 6 years, but maybe less value for '24.
  22. mvp 78
    And just like that, the perfect post predicted the rise of the moon.
  23. mvp 78
    Need to raise our prospects on a steady diet of milkshakes and cocaine.
  24. mvp 78
    Fitts isn't bullpen depth IMO. He'd be an emergency starter most likely. He has the best SP profile of the 5 guys listed in the WOO rotation on SoxProspects (Winck, Walter, Fitts, Gambrell, Van Belle).
  25. mvp 78
    @tylermilliken_ Here are the 11 names the Red Sox announced for their Rookie Development program starting next month: Marcelo Mayer Chase Meidroth Nick Yorke Roman Anthony Nathan Hickey Kyle Teel Isaiah Campbell Richard Fitts Wikelman Gonzalez Luis Perales Justin Slaten Perales is the only one not in shouting distance of playing in Fenway.
