    They could trade a guy like Duran for Bednar maybe? Mayer has too much value for Bednar. Per BTV: Mayer Rafaela for Reynolds Bednar Cruz
  2. mvp 78
    For a reliever? No.
  3. mvp 78
    They'd be dumb to not at least consider trading a guy who is already injured and may not pan out for an established starter.

    A Rookie of the Year win or a top three finish in MVP or Cy Young voting in his pre-arbitration seasons would net the team that extra draft pick. If the international draft is implemented, he could earn the club a selection if second or third in Rookie of the Year, or fourth or fifth in Cy Young.[/i I believe that the Sox don't get a PPI pick as there is no International Draft yet. I've looked but haven't seen anywhere that states that 2nd or 3rd place gets an amateur draft pick or international money.

    Stop being a bitch and accept that Devers and Casas are fine where they are.
  6. mvp 78
    Breslow waited too long! WTH?!?
  7. mvp 78
    Sox going to eat salary?
  8. mvp 78
    Well I think the Twinkies offer makes sense.
  9. mvp 78
    IF they can stay healthy through ST.
  10. mvp 78
    I tried to find a MIFer that could field adequately, was RHB and played on a team that possibly needed Verdugo. That they also had a LHRP that worked was pure GM'ing skill on my part!
  11. mvp 78
    Verdugo to MINN for Farmer (UTIL) and Thielbar (LHRP) works per BTV
  12. mvp 78
    Nobody is expecting to get much. Maybe they can find a guy to play 2B for a year and be competent with the bat and the glove.
  13. mvp 78
    I think he may have been surprised by the timing, but not surprised that he left. He was probably just not ready to field questions about why the Sox couldn't keep a franchise guy like that.
  14. mvp 78
    1. I think they need a #1 and a #2 rather than lower rung guys like the Wacha and Hills of the world. 2. If they go with what they go, obviously Story is the best choice at SS for now. Mayer to SS next season? Mayer to 2B? Mayer to 3B? Figure that out next offseason. 3. Hedges only signed for 5M last season. That's Urias' nontender. 6. Seems like an ok plan. I have heard rumblings about Rafaela getting MIF time too. 8. I agree that they shouldn't force a LHP into the bullpen at the expense of a better arm. The bullpen isn't really a problem and should only be better next year.

    Old Red seems reluctant to even acknowledge that Breslow is under the Xmas tree.
  16. mvp 78
    That's Bloom's plan.
  17. mvp 78
    Having Story play a full season at 2B or SS will be a huge help. Another year of development for Casas will help. Additional playing time for Rafaela in CF will help. Swapping Yoshida for Duran would also be a pretty big help in LF. Signing Hedges to play 50% of the games would also help. I listed a lot of fixes in my post.
  18. mvp 78
    It was figured out under the old CBO in 43 games?
  19. mvp 78
    Sometimes the new toys are better than the old ones.
  20. mvp 78
    Ohtani is a pipedream.
  21. mvp 78
    He was just the Assistant GM in CHC.
  22. mvp 78
    1. Need at least 2 starters. 2. Figure out if Story is a 2B or SS and find a plan for the other position. 3. Sign Austin Hedges to replace Reese McGuire? 4. Where/how to add the RH bat? Duvall or trade? 5. Trade Verdugo as part of #2 or #4? 6. Who is starting CF? Is Rafaela going to be glove first CFer or UTIL guy in '24? Just give fulltime reps to Duran until Rafaela earns it? 7. Yoshida to become fulltime DH or is that part of a DH rotation with #4? 8. LH reliever?
  23. mvp 78
    Well, that's who he's going to be most often compared to.
  24. mvp 78
    Yet. There may come a time when he has to trade a 2nd year ARB Mayer for a starting pitcher or something. Sox are in a bit of a funk, but that can turn around quickly here. We've seen it before.
  25. mvp 78
    One of the biggest complaints about Bloom was his inability to communicate with the clubhouse. That should be fixed going forward.
