Mayer isn't even hitting righties that well. He's done nothing to suggest Cora is holding him back. -
Question of the week: Was trading Devers the right call?
Bellhorn04 replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
But it's not much fun waiting for years of data before answering. And what exactly will be the point of answering the question then? 😀 -
So what exactly supports your contention that the offense is 'weak'? Seems like your evidence is all anecdotal. You like batting average, don't you? The Sox are T6 in batting average. Show us some numbers that support your contention that the offense is weak. .
-
Plus MLB pitchers have a ton of data and video at their disposal. Fred's 'wait till pitchers learn they don't have to throw him a strike' take is pretty amusing. 😀
-
The Red Sox are #6 in runs scored per game, T8 in OPS+, T12 in ERA+ and 18 in ERA. You do say the darndest things.
-
A couple of players have been made available, that much is certain.
-
The Devers trade was just plain unusual and everyone has their opinion on why they did it. You and others thought the Priester trade was jumping on an opportunity to get a big haul for a starter with weak peripherals that the Sox probably didn't need. So I think the real story is yet to be told.
-
An elite closer like Chapman is in a different category. They don't become available that often. Chapman has been traded for Gleyber Torres and Cole Ragans.
-
Sox are clearly selling? You're going on record with that?
-
It all screams randomness!
-
Agree 100%. Every season matters and as you say, the future never actually gets here.
-
But they're 9-3 against the Yankees and Rays. Beating up on the bad teams is something the Sox have had trouble with. There's a ton of randomness involved in all of it. Bottom line is they're 2.5 games out of the playoffs with 71 games to go, and there are some positive trends. And a guy named Bregman should be back soon.
-
Yes, I'm not sure BTV is much of a reference point for deadline trades of top relief pitchers. They are a prized commodity at this time of year.
-
IN MLB every move is risky and plenty of non-moves are too.
-
Yeah, I find it surprising how many fans start thinking about selling off so early now.
-
The average line on the Sox right now is about -250. So you'd have to bet $250 to win $100.
-
Easy Den. It's a favorable matchup, but it's baseball.
-
KIGG! 🙂
-
This is one case where it's too low, because it's impossible to quantify a value that includes the postseason. Just think of when Theo Epstein traded one of the top prospects in baseball, Gleyber Torres, for this same player.
-
The Sox issue hasn't been a strength of competition issue. They're 9-3 against the Yankees and Rays. They just took 2 of 3 from Cincy and Cincy is an over .500 team. I'm feeling some optimism. But of course that can be crushed pretty quickly LOL
-
There are some signs the team is coming around. This would be one more kick in the head to the fans IMO. All depends how they do the next few weeks.
-
If they trade Chapman they have to go full sell mode, all expiring contracts.
-
Trading Chapman would be waving the white flag on 2025, there's no way around that.
-
I think we might be turning a corner for the better, Larry. We'll see.
-
It would have taken some serious panning out. Downs wasn't even Bloom's first choice, he pivoted to Downs because they didn't like Graterol's medicals.
