@tylermilliken_ Diamond Baseball Holdings has reached an agreement to buy the Worcester Red Sox, per @MikeSilvermanBB. Nothing will change with the WooSox’ 35-year lease to play at Polar Park. 32 years remain on that deal. DBH already owns @salemredsox and @PortlandSeaDogs.

While looking for something else, I came across this post from 5 years ago. The Espinosa deal was a bad idea at the time. Pomeranz was having a career year and getting lots of luck out of his new cutter. Using the highly ranked Espinosa to obtain him was an overpay. Pomeranz fell back to earth but was serviceable. In hindsight, Espinoza had major injury issues and only appeared in MLB recently in a bullpen role. His ceiling now isn't what we once thought. HOWEVER, it was a bad trade, but not as bad as we thought at the time. They should have used the highly ranked Espinoza on a better pitcher IMO.

At some point, not getting a return is going to come back and bite them.
-
I guess you prefer last DAMN place.

Prior to last season, he was ranked in the 40's (FanGraphs) for the Guardians, whereas Whitlock was in the top 20 for the Yanks. He walks a lot of guys and doesn't have a third pitch apparently. Not sure the Sox need another bullpen guy to stash. If there's a Rule 5 guy that could make sense it would be Carlos De La Cruz (PHI) a RHB who plays OF/1B. I mentioned a some others a few days ago like Kristian Robinson, another RHB OFer.

Wong has a nice arm, but sucks at framing and blocking. Reese has a bad arm, but is ok at framing and blocking. Vaz did all of the above at a relatively proficient level. He's just a good all around catcher. There's nobody on the current MLB squad blocking the prospects from taking over a fulltime role at that position.

I'd take '22 Wendle for 2M to be the starting 2B and clear up some of the clutter at 2B the Sox currently have. Hindsight of course.
-
Maybe they should have had some sort of deadline fire sale in '22 then?
-
Depends on if Wendle is going to hit as bad as he did in '23.

For this:
-
2016: ERod Owens Barnes (first full MLB season) Espinoza Kopech Johnson Ball Lakins Light Raudes
-
Yeah, if the Astros are bored with him, we can take him of their hands.
-
I would bet that Reyes is probably in line for most of the reps even though Valdez has the platoon advantage. Valdez is just such a horrible defender and they need to move beyond that.
-
I agree that Duquette could never make such an important deal.
-
The pitching has been a mess since 2016 that's for sure.
-
Bregman 2B Chapman 3B Yamamoto SP Montgomery SP Imanaga sP Buy Devers an OF glove. FULL THROTTLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Tim Anderson got his ass kicked. He is not a dirt dog. No thank you.
-
It feels right though vs the 37 badWAR?
-
Per BTV: Bregman Javier Garcia for Yorke Kelly FULL THROTTLE LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
The RHB can go play LF.
-
He can play 2B?
-
AKA, the reason the Sox were 30th in defense at 2B.
-
The 4 seamer is just his worst pitch and either needs to be used as a waste pitch up or just forgotten. The slider gets vertical break rather than horizontal break which maybe he could turn into more of a sweeper at a different velo band? IDK.
-
Really just need to see Cespedes stateside first for initial impressions and then at more competitive levels in '25. I have stated that they should trade Mayer all offseason. It's nothing against him personally, but his ceiling isn't really multiple MVP years and a HOF career. He should be an above average SS for his career and make a ton of money, but I think the Sox can use him now to acquire assets they don't have and struggle to develop in their system (pitching).
