  1. Agree, Jay's are looking for one more big bat and the Yanks haven't done anything. Wondering if Hal is having money problems. The O's starting pitching has improved a lot. The bottom line is who every has the healthiest pitching will win the AL East.
  2. Donovan was third option if Bregman didn't sign. Means Mayer 3B and doesn't really solve the power issue. If only DHam hit a little more, His speed is disruptive like Duran's. Speed is a game changer.
  3. Agree, Sale trade did not work out for the Sox. With his injury plagued final seasons in Boston who could have predicted his first season in Atlanta.
  4. Agree! Devers was the only one who saw him as the long term 3B in Boston. He was going to be asked to be 1B or DH eventually. I think what happened in 2025 would eventually happen anyway.
  5. Password had five OFs ahead of him with KC move to the OF, and six if you count Yoshida. He was blocked. I think all of the prospects traded were either blocked , or are years from the big leagues.
  6. Ragans is the only pitcher that I would part with Duran. An the could only happen if he is a healthy pitcher.
  7. Much like Yoshida, no defense or power, I'll take a pass.
  8. If KC starts the year in Boston (not traded) he could get Refsynder ABs. An when (not if) injuries hit his versatility will come into play. It works if he is hitting because right now he isn't a plus defender anywhere. The Sox have made an investment and are not going to leave him at AAA all summer.
  9. I agree. We already have players that can't stay healthy. THE Rangers asks will be high and they won't want eat any of the money.
  10. LF Anthony 3B Bregman RF Abreau SS Story 1B Contreras DH Duran CF Rafaela C Narvaez 2B Mayer Bench Wong, Gonzalez, Campbell, ? Casas starts season AAA Yoshida - Sox find away to get rid of the contract - if the Sox goal this off season is improve defense and power, he does neither
  11. Refsnyder played his role with Sox to a perfection. The crowded outfield included him though. In the ideal world Abreau plays more against lefty pitchers and does well, or Campbell ( looks like Sox are transitioning him to the outfield) picks up the Refsynder ABs and does well. I wish Refsynder well, but the Sox weren't paying him what he ended up getting from Seattle.
  12. The roster allows for 26 players. Most teams (including the Sox) have 13 pitchers and 13 position players. Once the Bregman issue is resolved you will have a little bit of an idea of the 13 position players the Sox will have on the roster. I really think the Sox want to save the DH as a way to rotate different players to give everyone ABs. So any potential trade of Duran won't happen until Bregman issue is resolved. I personally wouldn't trade Duran unless it's in a deal to get a #2 starter. Then you have the questions surrounding Casis, Yoshida, and Campbell. There are still a lot of moving parts and a lot of off season to answer some of these questions.
  13. Soto already past Cespedes in the prospect rankings. He is already a big kid at his age so probably won't stay at SS. He is a switch hitter with bat to ball skills. Years away from helping the Sox, but when is the last time the Sox minor league system produce a switch hitter? Maybe in a couple years the excitement will build.
  14. The Dodgers had a ton of money that wasn't even on the WS roster. Spending money covers teams mistakes. Saw
  15. Masa needs to go, but KC is not making this trade.
  16. Doesn't make much sense to have one of the best center fielders in baseball playing the IF. You weaken your self defensesifly.
  17. Agree he is strictly a second basement. The argument can be made that he is top three second basement in the league that can hit with some pop and flash the leather. On the negative he is 32 and hits from the left side. If Bregman signs elsewhere this trade makes more sence,
  18. Agree. Doesn't help infield defense or add power. That is what the Sox need to upgrade.
  19. Sox will have to look elsewhere, just signed with the Mets,
  20. Campbell playing winter ball in Puerto Rico. Will probably get an ideal from that on how the Sox plan to use him as his manager is one of the Sox coaches. Reports say the Sox are going to place him in the OF. We shall see. Garcia starts the 26 season in AAA unless he is traded this off season. There are just too many bodies in front of him. He does need to play every day and would be able to do that in AAA.
  21. Yes, had played most of his career at second. Didn't he have some issue last season that made waves in the Arizona clubhouse? Sox don't need to bring in veterans that could be problem. They just dumped such a player last season. That's what makes Bregman so valuable. He is a great teammate, and the type of veteran you want around all of the kids.
  22. I agree. Sox only move Duran for a #2, or possibly for corner IF power bat.
  23. Duran had a 3.9 WAR last season, granted down from 2024, but still almost at all star level. Yes, clearly not Jared Kelenic, but Sox need to make sure they get fair value back in a trade. If it was me I would not trade Duran unless that #2 starter is the return.
  24. Agree! Plus Sox shouldn't trade Duran unless it involves a top of the rotation pitcher,
  25. Maybe that's the answer to off loading Masa's contract. Besides keeping some of the dollars include JH's yacht.
