If Montgomery does sign elsewhere, the Sox might really be looking at this: Plan A (Miraculously) sign Yamamoto Plan B Punt
-
He doesn't have to sign until early January, and for all we know he might be a patient, methodical fellow. This is a one-time only thing in his life, and there's no need for him to be hasty.
-
They're dropping like flies now.
-
That's possible, Randy, but one of the teams that has talked to Moto might also say "f*** this, let's offer Montgomery a lot more than he was expecting and see what happens".
-
I guess the Sox aren't interested in any of these cheaper starters, just like the last couple of offseasons, aside from Bloom's dumpster dives. Oh well, I'm sure there's a method to their apparent madness...yeah, right.
-
All we need now is someone to swoop in and sign Montgomery.
-
Royals sign Wacha, right on top of Lugo LOL
-
I need this place to vent my frustration.
-
A million saved is a million earned. It all started with the decision not to pay Mookie. Henry had some sort of Eureka moment that he had figured out how to do things a lot smarter. That's what led to replacing Dombrowski with Bloom with Breslow. The whole thing is painfully obvious, unfortunately.
-
That's the thing, you can find something you don't like in any pitcher that's available-including Moto, if $300 million contracts and opt out clauses make you nervous...
-
Burnes probably isn't on the Sox radar at all.
-
Both.
-
He was 14th in the majors in fWAR (sandwiched between Montgomery and Nola). Maybe overrated, but still pretty good. Burnes had a 3.4 fWAR in more innings than Snell.
-
Career fWAR numbers are smoke and mirrors? OK...
-
Without the low payrolls and good W-L records.
-
LOL I couldn't log in for a while. I thought maybe the server was overheated by too many angry posts.
-
He averages 3.77 fWAR per 175 innings. He's very good. The injury risk is the real minus.
-
Red, I think you're making too much of what Gray made before. Maybe that was just bad luck. Maybe this is the first time he had a big season in his contract year. He has pitched 1571 MLB innings with a 3.47 ERA. He came second in this year's CYA voting. Are there really that many pitchers with better credentials? I think it'd be a pretty short list.
-
He is what he is. Gets the job done most of the time.
-
Based on what?
-
Or maybe we end up with one of those too little, too late "fan-pleasing" moves like the Story signing...
-
It's quite likely the Brewers are very willing to deal Burnes, for a hefty prospect package. But are the Sox willing to do that and follow up with a big extension to Burnes? I'm a skeptic these days so I'm thinking no...
-
More likely, let the Yankees have him...
-
If the failed talks with the Mariners are any indication, there's a good chance the Sox find it's not the best time for them to swing a big trade for a pitcher either.
-
Which would be ridiculous. Especially if you have to give opt outs too.
