Duran might help them win, now, more than Abreu. We could throw in Jansen, too.
-
Yea, the two year thing scares me away. Same with Cease. BTV accepts Duran & Yorke for Framber, but no way does HOU say yes to that. I like McCormick (3 yrs), and he can play CF, but I doubt they swap him out for 5 yrs of Duran. They probably can't keep Bregman, Altuve & Tucker, but Tucker has only 2 years, too. 5 years of Duran for 3 of McCormick and 4 of Javier might be okay.
-
BTV has... 37 Yainer Diaz C 30 Chaz McCormick OF 19 B Abreu RP + 11 Melton OF prospect (I'd like to get Javier 3.1 SP added) 0.8 Urquiddy could be a throw in Duran is 34. I'd do McCormick & Javier or maybe Abreu, Melton & Javier (or Urquiddy) HOU will not give their catcher for Duran.

You said you agree with this, " Dude was proven innocent in a court of law." There was no court case. I'm not thinking he's guilty of anything illegal. We will probably never know all that happened with any degree of certainty, but he was not found guilty of anything, so I would not be upset with the team that signs him.
-
He never went to court. You think he did?
-
Kind of amazing that 3 of his top 4 GS seasons were at ages 41, 42 & 43.
-
He will likely get a 1 year deal, which could be something enticing to Sox brass.
-
I think only one poster mentioned Moore to fill our LH'd pen need.
-
Bauer does seem like a hot potato, but we are getting to the point, where we have to shoot in the dark and hope for someone to "regain" or "retool." I'm sick of doing that. Richards, Kluber and now, to some extent, even Giolito. I realize bauer is sort of the same thing, but at least it's not about his arm or abilities as a pitcher. If we don't get Monty or even Clevinger, Bauer would be my 2nd or 3rd pick out of what is left.
-
He also had better numbers than most others after 18 batters.
-
That 26 starts by Hill was the 4th most in his 19 year career. (I'm not defending the piggyback idea. I hated it.)
-
He did start 26 games- second to Pivetta and more than Nate & Wacha. (26 GS was as much as Crawford & Wink, combined.)
-
He'll be 37 in a couple months and hasn't has a good, full season since 2019.
-
Matt Moore gets $9M with Angels. WOW! Hoskins to get $34M/2 with Brewers.
-
Both he and Wood look like perfect Sox signings. Maybe sign 'em both!
-
A trade need not be for a 1-2 year pitcher.
-
He's had more good years than bad (by over 2 to 1,) but last year was not good. Seems like just the guy for us.
-
Top FA SP'ers remaining, as ranked by MLBTR: 4. Snell 6. Montgomery 30. Clevinger 34. Lorenzen 47. Junis Non top 50 Ryu Wood Lauer Kershaw (Not listed: Bauer & Urias)
-
No. He does pretty well until the 19th batter.
-
Partly because they wouldn't yank starters getting drilled early.
-
I'd say Bello & Giolito should go 4+ innings nearly every start. The others are huge Q's.
-
I'm thinking with the uncertainty of 3 of our SP'ers, they may get yanked after 1-2 IP, more than we want to imagine.
-
While spending more on Gio than anything Bloom did, year one, Bloom lost more from the previous season (Betts, Price & Porcello.) so it seems eerily similar, to me.
-
This is almost as bad as Bloom's first winter before 2020, in terms of little new spending. The loss of Betts, Price and Porcello vs JT, Duvall, Paxton, Sale and others is not the same, however, but barely replacing them is, so far.
-
I did add some Brez trades, and also grading his IFA signings, so far. While I do think there has been little change in the top FO philosophy since the start of 2019, I am hopeful Brez can and will do better than Bloom under the same circumstances. It's scary to think he has not been given Bloom's winter budgets of '21, '22 or '23.
