They are going to try to get in, but it will be with a group that looks like the one that is currently on the field. Story, Sale, Whitlock and Houck will be the major MLB additions.
-
Because the number of sellers is low, the Sox could take advantage and sell some of their assets for decent value. Their playoff odds are pretty low at 25%.
-
It's a way to offset Raffy's 300M contract and seems like a good way to do business if he's going to use the rest of the money elsewhere.
-
I think it was better when we actually knew more about each other than just "this guy hates Bloom for X reason."

July 31: Red Sox @ Mariners

That's why he's a 5th starter AT BEST. -
Faceless? We used to know what each other looked like before the invading horde.
-
Have zero expectations for today. Most likely see some prospects that we have never heard of. Maybe he can clear out the 40 man crunch a little by moving Mata?
-
His barrel % is fine. His BABIP is lower than normal in part to hitting more flyballs. Is he trying to hit more dingers to justify the contract?
-
Yes. Paulino has had a pretty bad season and Walter is an older prospect who looks destined for the bullpen.
-
Chaim looking for the leftovers just like the previous trade deadlines.
-
But if they get to the Wild Card and get blown out, surely that's a successful season?!?!?
-
He sent Eddie Romero Jr there this year to help out with the player communication at the deadline. Therefore, he cares slightly more than he did last year.
-
Verdugo's wRC+ is 108. That's higher than either of the prior two years. I think that's about as good as you're going to get with his bat in Fenway.
-
Did Raffy sign a one year deal or a long term extension? If Bloom's plan is to build for the long term, wouldn't this be in Raffy's best interest? Maybe not some cantankerous viewers!
-
Have you seen their OFs the past 4 years? Sir!
-
Verdugo is 15.3 currently.
-
No, it'd be a low level guy, which is fine to me.
-
If that was the case, they would have used Hamilton sooner than they actually did this year. Right?
-
Kiké was the plan LONG before they reacquired Chang (mid Feb). Alex said that Kiké was going to be the primary SS prior to Spring Training.
-
There is no logjam in the OF. Adam Duvall will be traded most likely. After this season, Duvall is gone and there will be big questions on how to fill all three OF positions if you move Verdugo. Would Sox be ok with: DH Yoshida LF Duran CF Rafaela RF Abreu/Refsnyder
-
It's not that I hate your idea, it's just that Verdugo's trade value is higher than what the Sox receive in the trade, even per BTV standards. They'd need to receive an additional arm or prospect for the trade to work out.
-
The fallback option everyone wanted (Elvis Andrus) hasn't really worked out in CHI either. They weren't going to shell out for Dansby Swanson because of their farm, so they figured they'd just piecemeal it together. Obviously, they should have at least shopped at Target rather than the Dollar Tree for their SS options. Jon Berti was potentially available last offseason, but Sox never struck a deal with the Marlins. He's got a lot of speed, can field a bunch of positions well and as been a positive fWAR guy since coming into the league.
-
Verdugo Mata for Blackburn Laureano (listed as HIGH on BTV) You can still trade Duvall in another deal.
-
How is bringing Tony Kemp back helping?
-
I can't see Bloom saying no to Paulino and Walter for Snell.
