    I think Breslow had been working on trades for a while. Henry got to the point where he was like "I'll eat salary, just get it done."
  2. mvp 78
    If it changes yearly, how do you know what teams will do this year?
  3. mvp 78
    Not everything you don't like is a boomer idea. Especially since you're like 40 anyway.
  4. mvp 78
    Yeah, the idea that MLB is now rolling guys through the DH spot just isn't reality. Most teams aren't doing that.
  5. mvp 78
    That's not until after the team has already reported to camp I believe. At that point, the roster should have already been manufactured.
  6. mvp 78
    If Breslow were able to, he'd field a starting lineup of 162 guys that didn't move off position. It's just CHEAPER to find platoon bats that can play mediocre defense at multiple positions.

    TalkSox posters don't really know what can be done with Masa. Maybe he can be sent to WOO with one of his options? It'd be silly to have him and Casas there taking up 40 man spots without a long term plan though. With suspected an OF trade would clear up roster issues for a few offseasons now. Haven't seen one materialize yet.

    The actual theory is that something happened at the KC meeting between Devers and JH which caused JH to decide Devers needed to go.

    It was said that a lot of the Japanese contracts had language that they players were able to refuse being sent to AAA even though Masa has options. We don't know what his contract says for sure. I'm more confident in Masa providing value than Hicks. He's lost a little velo the past few years and still has no idea where it's going. Breslow got rid of all the other high bb guys. Time to move on from Hicks. If they traded Kelly now, just to see what Hicks looked like in ST, it's not the worst idea in the world.

    With those types of ideas, Breslow would really be on the fast train out of town.
  12. mvp 78
    Once they had to start paying off that contract, Raffy had to go!
  13. mvp 78
    If Duran isn't traded, will we hear about a mysterious injury that Masa has at the start of the season?

    How about this guy: 2.8 bWAR/162 over his career 8 DRS '25 at 2b 8 DRS '24 at 2b
  16. mvp 78
    If Masa is only DHing 100 AB's, DFA him today.
  17. mvp 78
    I don't think Paredes is a defensive whizz, but he's more likely to plateau at below average than see his skills absolutely crater due to age in the near future.
  18. mvp 78
    Dodgers - 95 wins Yankees/Sox - 87 wins Jays - 86 wins O's - 83 wins Rays - 78 wins Rockies - 64 wins
  19. mvp 78
    Paredes is still 26. How much younger do they want?
  20. mvp 78
    Duran is fine for the backup CFer when Rafaela needs a day off.
  21. mvp 78
    Suarez '23 -3 DRS '24 -4 DRS '25 -6 DRS He's only going to get worse since he'll be 35 this season. Sox showed interest last trade deadline so that they could move him to 1B. Don't see the fit at 3B going forward TBH.
  22. mvp 78
    I thought this WAS the Luxury Tax thread! 🙃
  23. mvp 78
    I think they know 2b was his best chance for playing time. Even knowing that, they moved him off the position.
  24. mvp 78
    Someone said that they think he can still be good at 2b. So why send him to 2b? I think there must be considerable discussions about what he is and isn't good at with people on both sides. Since he didn't play 2b in the winter leagues, I think we know where Craig stands.
  25. mvp 78
    There's just no way. Pena is the best player the Astros have left. I don't think they are giving up on that roster yet. He also would cost a lot and doesn't really check some of the boxes that the Sox really like (exit velo, hard hit, chase rate). Good defender, pulls the ball, but would take a lot in a trade.
