I think something bigger is coming. (It sure as hell better be.)
-
It's not guaranteed. The quantity from Giolito needs to be coupled with some quality.
-
You're making it sound like the last 2 transactions make it less likely. I don't see why.
-
He hasn't really proved he's a #1 yet, but he was one of the top 10 pitchers in baseball last year using WAR.
-
As the saying goes, it's academic.
-
That's indisputable.
-
Yeah but they got a second baseman in the midst of that flip...
-
We all do it.
-
I'm just hoping for Monty/Snell or a good starter in a trade.
-
A lot of the rumblings about Bloom were that he was difficult to deal with and asked for too much, which led to deals falling through. We can't have it both ways.
-
I'm not assuming anything with this ownership any more. I just think we're seeing some signs of a plan unfolding and that has given me some small tingles of optimism about Breslow.
-
I don't view that as a factual statement at all, it's clearly just an opinion. We can't even state as a fact that they blew it with Mookie, because his deal still has 9 years to run and anything can happen.
-
After freeing up another $10 mill, they have even less excuse not to get that #1 pitcher.
-
Well, let's just assume that if Breslow insisted on making it less the Braves walk away and the deal is dead.
-
To me this little flurry of moves suggests Breslow is far from done.
-
JH was apparently fine subsidizing Price's salary to pitch elsewhere for 3 years, so why not Sale for 1 year?
-
Of course we can't state it as a fact. By the same token we can't state for a fact that if we offered Mookie 10/350 he would have taken it. You don't like dabbling in hypotheticals?
-
It's useless if the worst case scenario of JH the Penny Pincher and Werner the Liar comes to fruition.
-
One more question - will you like it less if they don't?
-
I think it was a mistake not to make the 6/162 offer they eventually made, back when it mattered. It's not unreasonable to think Bogaerts would have taken taken something close to that, when you consider that Story took 6/140 and was a very comparable player to Bogaerts.
-
Bellhorn is on board with this trade, mainly because Grissom seems like a decent get.
-
What did our friend BTV think of the trade?
-
Yeah, maybe it's time to get behind Breslow a bit. He's clearly executing a plan, at least.
-
Over the Monster writer likes this trade. https://www.overthemonster.com/2023/12/30/24020064/red-sox-trade-chris-sale-to-atlanta-braves-for-vaughn-grissom-breslow-analysis

Not just bad but cataclysmically bad. Looking at Manoah's innings history, it appears the Jays may have violated the Verducci Effect guidelines and he's paying for it.
