Still a lot of the top FA left to sign. Too bad many play positions we are not in high need of, and we have an owner stuck ti misermania mode.
-
Pretty sure it wasn't BOS.
-
He was projected as a 4/5 starter with a low 90's FB with "movement," but still... We ain't pivoting to Monty or Snell. Stroman is kinda like getting two Gio's. It looks, to me, like Paxton for 1 and maybe a trade for a 5 year guy.
-
Oh, I noticed. If you lived next to Scherzer 20 years ago, you'd probably feel the same way.\ LOL

Seems like Imanaga did not cost all that much. It will be interesting to see how that coin toss works out. $9.825M Posting Fee (could increase with options taken or escalators. $53M guarantee for 4 years ($13.25M AAV) 5th year team option $80M max/5 years ($14M/yr) with all escalators kicking in

I kinda agree, but Stroman is better than Clevinger and Paxton, combined. Think what you want about him, but he's started 25+ games all three of the last seasons. 3.45 ERA (122 ERA+) 3.60 FIP (1.18 WHIP) Last 5 years: 3.38 ERA (126 ERA+) 3.63 FIP (1.22 WHIP) This is way better than anything we have and on paper, looks better than many of the guys many of us have been suggesting. Gio & Stroman are better than nothing, but still falls way short of what i had hoped for.

Sidenote on Grissom, reported by MLBTR: Rogers reports that the Braves approached the [White] Sox and dangled infielder Vaughn Grissom, among others[for Cease,]but were rebuffed. Grissom instead went to the Red Sox in the Chris Sale trade.
-
Nick Saban to retire.
-
Nobody had Gio top 10, even. Criswell? LOL O'Neill, Campbell and Fitts were not even thought about. That's not to say these deals can't or won't work out, but yes, nobody is getting close to what we wanted.
-
The idea is growing on me, as more and more targets drop off the list, and word that teams are asking about Yoshida. I could see: 3B: 150 Chapman 12 Devers 1B: 90 Casas 73 Devers DH 67 Casas (+5 days of full rest) 60 Devers (+5 days of full rest) 5 Chapman (+7 days of full rest) 30 Refsnyder v LHPs Maybe sign Duvall (RF or LF) or even Soler (LF)?
-
So, Pivetta, Urias and LLovera? BTW, I'm a NP supporter. I had hopes for Urias, but his poor D and questionable O, I like what we got for him.
-
I think he gets 3 years with a 4th year option and no or low buyout.
-
The good 2020 Covid season got some hopes up in some.

Giolito- signed with Sox) 18. Stroman SP 20. JD Martinez DH 21. J Hicks RP 26. Hoskins DH/1B (RHB) (maybe, if we trade Yoshida) 27. Stephenson RP 28. Ya. Rodriguez RP (SP?) 30. Clevinger SP 33.

Others mentioned: OF Duvall, Michael A Taylor, J Pederson, T Pham SP Paxton, Ryu, Kershaw RP Robertson, Maton, Stanek, M Moore C G Sanchez

Here's a good one: harmony never thinks a Sox player is worthy of a trade to his team, yet they just claimed Llovera off waivers. Go figure!
-
He couldn't hit at a skinny weight, either.
-
Yes, and runs allowed (as well as IP) is what ERA, ERA+, ERA- are all about.
-
Yanks pivot from Stroman and Monty and sign Tanner Tully, instead!
-
I remember my ex brother-in-law saying he came from the "pick the ball up, when it stops rolling school of OF defense."
-
I think Bloom also thought JBJ could bounce back on O and to give us plus D in RF. Maybe the prospects were expected to be the best part of the deal to him, but neither we super highly regarded. I remember saying, "Bloom must like these prospects better than everyone else, for this deal to make sense." Remember, the "head-scratcher" comment that sent some into a tizzy?
-
I was driving the Fire Sale 2022 bandwagon. (I even mentioned trying to persuade Bogey to waive his no-trade cause, so he could play for a winner and lose the QO tag.)
-
omar vizquel sucked as a catcher.
-
Must have been based on the eye test.
-
No, that can't be the reason!
