You've got Bello listed twice. One must be Pivetta.
-
Max, you keep saying these things over and over. Now, do you have any links to the articles where you got this information from? I would especially like to see the one about DD wanting more money "to keep Mookie from the Dodgers".
-
It's not going to happen, but if Brez did somehow swing a deal for Vlad, it wouldn't be unexciting. -
And I've always had a soft spot for guys who mash against the Yankees - career OPS of .904. And 1.022 against the Orioles! And .876 against the Rays.
-
OTOH if Vlad has a manager he really likes he might really kill it. Vlad is an elite talent. I don't see him ever being in a Red Sox uniform, though. The cost will be prohibitive.

My guess is it would depend on which team you're talking to. For a small market team that financial commitment might be a serious deterrent, depending on how much they like Rafaela.

Article: End of Season Grades: Infield
Bellhorn04 replied to Alexandra Tavaglione's topic in Talk Sox Front Page News
Nice work, Alexandra. I think my only serious disagreement is with Hamilton. FanGraphs gives him a WAR of 1.6 in about half a season's work, 5th best among Sox position players. Considering his minimum pay and the virtually nonexistent expectations, I'd have to give him a B+ myself. -
I hear that. I'm assuming that if they fulfill Hugh's wishes it means they really are serious and Brezzy will look after the other deficiencies as well.
-
That's really *all* they need to do to at least get the hope train rolling again for fans like us.
-
Rare fruit indeed! 😁
-
I don't really understand the talk of trading Casas. If this is how much patience we have with our prospects, it's not a great sign for the next few years.
-
Yes, that is a refreshingly clear statement by Brez.
-
So we shouldn't trade Mayer, agreed.
-
Sorry, this mulberry bush is closed.
-
Sale and Whitlock are totally different cases, as most players are. If you're into that kind of reductionism, fine, but don't try to lay it on me.
-
Seems like an overstatement.
-
In case there's any confusion, notin was replying to me there.
-
Well, I'll go on record that I'm vehemently opposed to trading Story and I think there's a good chance he has a solid 2025.
-
Yeah, I'm not going to invest any mental energy in Whitlock's role. They're going to do what they're going to do.
-
Yeah, funny how they keep going with makeshift solutions at SS, but they really really needed that 2B, even if he was just a prospect.
-
They did something they didn't need to do, probably motivated by the tight budget, and they got burnt to a crisp for it, deservedly so.
-
And they proved that they're just flat out stupid or incredibly cheap by doing nothing when Giolito went down. Credit to Houck, Crawford and Bello for making nearly all their starts and pitching as well as you could expect given their talent levels. They kept it from being even more of a debacle than it could have been.
-
I don't remember anyone saying "We really need starting pitching, but not as much as a second base prospect!"
-
They got a prospect. And there were other ways to get a 2B. They needed starting pitching more. Everyone agreed that was the biggest need.
-
Hate to beat the dead horse, but trading Sale was a disastrous blunder that ended up sinking the whole season. You're not supposed to trade from an area of need. It was stupid and the stupidity was punished.
