And it's not that Mayer is a BAD prospect. He's still a good prospect. I just believe Anthony and Teel could be franchise type players. Maybe they don't pan out...
-
Prior to coming to BOS, he played 91% of every game. He also has a career 265 average and is signed through '27. Once Story's contract is closer to its conclusion, any number of prospects could be ready since the Red Sox HAVE DRAFTED AND SIGNED VIA IFA A METRIC f***TON OF SHORTSTOPS in the past few years (Zanetello, Cespedes, Anderson, Alcantara, Arias, etc.).
-
I'd hang onto Teel and Anthony. I think all the other prospects could be had in the right trade.
-
Gambrell could be an emergency starter if needed. I don't know if Penrod could do so reliably. More likely that Penrod is just thrown into a pen somewhere.
-
It's one thing that I don't know if I'll ever get over and I wasn't a Mookie superfan.
-
Would be deserving in this instance.
-
IDK, but we may find out.
-
Pitchfork time for me. I'd need to know who the decision maker was and there'd be some tar and feathering going on.
-
That'd probably be worse for Devers.
-
I wonder who the "they" was. My guess is that it wasn't DD.
-
It's not that the players are better or worse, it's that there is remaining theoretical value left on the contract/control. Whether the trades makes sense in reality is up to the respective FO's.
-
The tough part with Gambrell's age is that he missed 2020, was injured during '21 and missed all of '22. That's basically 3 years of lost development. He still has catching up to do so I wouldn't necessarily say he's reached his ceiling yet.
-
My trade proposal works according to our Lord and Savior BTV. If you add in Alvarez, the Sox need to throw in Anthony, Devers, Mayer and Bleis to make it work out.
-
It was when they decided to make the boneheaded move of ditching Mookie.
-
Gambrell really is another 5th starter at best. If he gets taken it's not really a big deal. He's most likely just an up and down guy. Penrod has such a SSS that nobody really knows what he can do. I can't fault the Sox for not protecting him especially with his control issues. Sox took a chance on a indy ball guy and he looked good for a few months, hard to see another team thinking that means he's MLB ready when he's only thrown 20 Innings in High A (4.96 xFIP). Both would be interesting to watch in '24 if they stay in the system, but if they are drafted I'm not concerned. Penrod would probably be returned. Gambrell just doesn't have a high ceiling so if he is gone for good it's no big loss.
-
Yeah, it was brought up before. High variance with him. Probably a guy a new GM wouldn't draft. It's just a Rule 5 pick, so no harm in bringing someone in for Spring Training.
-
I'm not sure if Bastardo is eligible for the MiLB portion, but if he's taken in the MLB portion he'll be returned 100%. I don't know why he's projected to be taken. Drohan at least is left handed and pitched well in AA. Aside from Drohan, I'm not really concerned about who is taken, even if it's Scott/Paulino/Castro.
-
Hit well in AA, but OPS'd under 800 in A+ this year and seems to be more DH than anything else. He was moved off of 1B/3B because he was pretty bad there. Was OF only in '23.
-
I'll take Henry over Jim Crane any day.
-
A second baseman to potentially replace Altuve and a reliever coming off an injury for Bregman and two starting pitchers. They'll take that, no cap.
-
@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.
