    You might actually be able to make a case that Teel is the one guy who's untouchable. Star catchers might be the rarest commodity in baseball over its history.

    What should temper anyone's enthusiasm for trading Duran is the realization that our offense turned out not to be a strength in 2024. One of the articles from our new writers highlighted this. Given that, trading away offense might be pretty darn stupid. Brez has quite a conundrum on his hands. It's really hard to figure out what the right play would be.

    We have guaranteed replacements-plural-for Duran and his 7-8 win season? Man, our future in even better shape than I thought.

    What a masterstroke!

    Michael King has been outstanding for them, he has really made the Soto trade pay off.
  6. Bellhorn04
    I honestly don't know what they had against Wacha. He pitched pretty good for us and his price tag has been eminently reasonable by current standards.

    I think Henry neither wants to be Fried by Max nor suffer Burnes from Corbin.
  8. Bellhorn04
    This is a rather devastating post. 😜
  9. Bellhorn04
    Hey Dipre, good to see you here. Fried has been an elite talent, but there seem to be bad trends with his health and effectiveness. Flaherty and Severino would definitely be on the list of guys they should be looking at.

    Sam the Sham doesn't want to talk about payroll numbers because he thinks that would give the team a "competitive disadvantage". Why do I find that so hard to reconcile with his announcement back in January that he expected the 2024 payroll to be lower than the 2023 payroll - when there were still a pile of unsigned free agents? That's our Sammy though.

    I disagree. The Royals had a +43 differential in their 13 games with the White Sox, but they also had a +48 differential in their other 149 games. So it's not like they sucked against everyone else. The Red Sox had a pitiful differential of +3 in their 7 games with the White Sox and a +1 in their other 155 games. I think both teams are where they should be.

    A somewhat dispiriting take on the Sox end of season press conference from OTM: https://www.overthemonster.com/2024/10/2/24259052/the-red-sox-offseason-is-already-off-to-a-frustrating-start The key point I guess being Breslow's apparent uneasiness with the question of pursuing a high-priced starter.
  13. Bellhorn04
    And he's been an innings chomper since 2020.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, a lot of our blown saves were a group effort.
  15. Bellhorn04
    He also finished the year very strong.
  16. Bellhorn04
    He was a reclamation project and a pretty pricey one at that. Horrible, horrible work on the rotation it was. They kind of deserved what they got.
  17. Bellhorn04
    I agree with moon in that I hope the Red Sox aren't looking for any more reclamation projects to add to the rotation.
  18. Bellhorn04
    What could they possibly know?
  19. Bellhorn04
    OK, well, Max tends to say some things that are "not in evidence", as we touched on recently with his "Dombrowski wanted to keep Betts from the Dodgers" comments. I don't know about the other people you're referencing. No one can honestly claim that the Braves knew anything about Sale that the Red Sox didn't. I assume they did know more than us because they had access to Sale's medical records, but that's about it.
  20. Bellhorn04
    No. I think we'd all prefer to sign guys with clean health records. I'm just saying most pitchers are health risks now. Yamamoto was supposed to be a unicorn and all that.
  21. Bellhorn04
    And where are the sure things?
  22. Bellhorn04
    True. That was one nutty offseason for the Dodgers with Ohtani, Moto and Glasnow, AAV is only 46.07 million though. 😎
  23. Bellhorn04
    The DBacks owner also railed against MLB for the Mets-Braves doubleheader thing. Not without some justification, but his team could have prevented the situation by winning 1 more game. What he said about Montgomery really crossed into George S. "fat toad" territory.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Hey, I would love to see those posts about how the Braves "knew something".
  25. Bellhorn04
    And you know exactly what we'll be rooting for them to do. 😜
