@tylermilliken_ Vladimir Asencio is viewed as one of the toughest hitters to strikeout from the DR in this class. 5’10, 170 pounds. There’s a belief from evaluators he’ll grow into more power as he matures. Puts the ball in play. Still profiles in CF at the moment.

@BenBadler Boston Red Sox signing Dominican outfielder Vladimir Asencio for $1 million
-
Monty seems like a safe bet to give consistent innings, but at the price he could get would be probably too much. I get passing. Pitching on the open market will always be at a premium though.
-
So spend 30AAV for 4 straight years on an average pitcher during a time when all your prospects should be good enough for playoff pushes? That's when the 30M should be going towards bona fide aces.
-
The Sasaki situation is very weird IMO. I don't know what kind of advice he's receiving. Maybe he thinks he's just going to kill it with advertising?
-
No matter what happens, I don't want a long term Snell deal. Anything more than 4 years is scary to me.
-
IDK, Orioles got pretty good with a bunch of rookie and sophomore seasons.
-
They still need to add someone so that Houck can be in the pen. I think they want to move Jansen and sign another starter. Which one? IDK. I bet we hear they just missed out on Monty and sign Clevinger or Paxton.
-
Giolito bounceback season confirmed!
-
If Henry is ok with it, then Crag has done a good job by the person signing his check. Werner may have said full throttle, but he also said there was a commitment to be competitive and Sam talked about the "aim" being a World Series. It's clear that this is not the aim this year by any means.
-
Not sure it's ownership preventing the trade. If I was CBO, I'd be holding onto Teel and Anthony too. Maybe Mayer as well considering the high cost of SS's right now. I think most every other prospect should be on the table.
-
Ah ring-a-ding-ding. They liked the direction. They didn't like how Bloom was not executing certain things.
-
He was put in charge of the Cubs horrible pitching system and did a really good job there turning it around.
-
The word is no, no, maybe and no.
-
The top $$$'s still went to SS (Cespedes, Arias, Ruiz totaling 2.4M over half the pool).
-
Nola wasn't an option IMO. I was just listing names that people could be upset over that the Sox didn't get, even if it wasn't the perfect fit.
-
Was told we'd be using IFA money on pitching?!?!?!??!?!?!
-
This analogy, but the wife doesn't cook or sleep with you either.
-
Nola and Gray
-
LF maybe? His 2B is adequate.
-
Yorke blocked himself with his hitting the past two seasons: '22 668 OPS A+ '23 785 OPS AA That's not the numbers of a prospect that is tearing through MiLB. Grissom AA 924 OPS Grissom AAA 920 OPS That's the numbers of a prospect tearing through MiLB.
-
Crawford isn't a tweener IMO. Pending health: Bello - 180 IP Giolito - 190 IP Pivetta - 170 IP Crawford - 150 IP Tweener (Houck) - 120 IP
-
Without ownership accountability, it just makes the whole situation worse. No amount of PR is going to fix this.
-
Only the best punts!
