MLBTR... The Padres have claimed right-hander Logan Gillaspie off waivers from the Red Sox, per a team announcement out of Boston. The Padres have several open spots on their 40-man roster, so a corresponding move isn’t necessary. Boston’s 40-man roster count is now down to 38 players.

Several players on my list were not "borderline" types, but rather high salary or low team control year guys, like Sale, Dugo and Urias. Refsnyder, McGuire and EValdez would probably be claimed. Borderlines are Mata, DHam, Robertson and Mills. (4 out of the 11.)

Andrew Bailey. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/11/red-sox-near-deal-to-hire-andrew-bailey-as-pitching-coach.html

Yes, there is time before the draft in December to DFA players or make 2 or 3 for one trades to create more roster slots.
-
I'm not sure how many more than 5 we will be adding. Once we go beyond 5, it comes down to something like Gambrell vs Mata, Robertson or Mills. Now, it's not so clear cut. If Brez plans on adding 6-8 new 40 man players via free agency or by trade of no 40 players, then not protecting Gambrel and Drohan makes sense, to me. I like Gambrel. I wish he was protected, but I don't know enough to call it a mistake.
-
Remember, that list of 11 was after the 5 on my DFA list. With 39 on the roster, we are talking about #24 to #34. Some are on my list, because they have one year of control (Dugo,) are high salaried (Sale) or are out of options (Mata,) and not because they are surely not good enough. McGuire was listed with the condition that we added a catcher. DHam and Urais were listed as a trade candidate, if we add a MI'er to the 40. We won't trade both. Ref might be traded, if we add a RH'd bat to the OF and trust Rafaela will stick. Walter is good enough to keep on the 40 for another few months, at least. Mills and Robertson are question marks.
-
Yes, just what I mentioned.
-
My list of trade candidates? I said 9-11. The two might be from Mata, DHam and Walter, who might pass through waivers and be signed as a MiFA. You see more? Mills? Robertson? Your "over/under" would be 3-5 would not get claimed?
-
Some, yes, but honestly, if we DFA'd all 11, my guess is 9-11 would be claimed and placed on some team's 40 man.
-
If you want to get really depressed, look at the bottom 18-20 guys on the 2020 roster, the bottom 12-14 on the '21 roster and bottom 10-12 on the '22 rosters. This is a list of 5 with maybe 2-3 from the "trade list" that look like the Pilots. (BTW, I knew the Pilot team, well. They became the Milwaukee Brewers the next year, when I liked 2 blocks from County Stadium, and went to watch them play, often.)
-
Yes, or sign real soon.
-
There is a chance, after we add 5-6 players, none of those guys will be around, anyway. I'd still have protected Gambrell and Drohan to the last moment. I guess, if they don't get selected, there is no issue.
-
MLB had a "Bold Offseason Prediction" article a few days back. Here were their calls: Ohtani to Mariners Soto traded to Yankees Bregman traded Giolito & Flaherty (HS teammates) both sign with Braves Cincy signs Gray, ERod or Stroman O's will sign Hader and add a top SP: Nola or Snell or a trade for Burnes or Bieber Someone signs Rich Hill, and... Drum roll.... Yamamoto to the Red Sox!

We now have 39 players on the 40 man roster with some expected winter additions to be made. While Wikelman and Perales might improve the look of the team, we still have a pretty lengthy list of players I would call expendable or easily replace. My first to be DFA'd list: 1. Llovera 2. Jacques 3. Weiss 4. Gillaspie 5. Dalbec (traded?) Trade candidates: Mata (out of options) Refsnyder (if we add a RH'd OF bat) D Ham (not much ML MI depth on the farm may keep him around.) E Valdez (the man without a position and likely not a good enough hitter to DH) B Walter (may not bring back enough to give up on him) W Mills (not sure about this guy) Urias (was mentioned as a possible non tender and may make $5M in arb) N Robertson (I think we keep him around.) McGuire (Only if we add a catcher) Dugo (Only if we add a RF'er- most likely a RHB.) Sale (If we don't have to pay too much of his contract)
-
Drohan really fell off a cliff in the second half. Scott is likely no better than any other catcher we can sign on a minor league deal. Others are either too far down in the minors to be selected or just not promising to risk a 26 man roster slot in hopes they develop into something worthwhile. I guess if Drohan and Penrod are not selected, nothing is lost, but what hopes do some of the bottom 3-5 on our 40 have?
-
Word is we protected only Wikelman and Perales- not even Drohan.
-
All 7 players who received a QO rejected them. Ohtani Bellinger Chapman (reportedly turned down a $100+M 4 or 5 year extension offer.) Gray Nola Snell Hader Does the QO's to these pitchers make Montgomery, ERod and Imanaga all that more appealing?
-
I'd keep Gambrell, Scott and maybe Penrod over Jacques and a couple others.
-
The Herald reports... The Red Sox will have to navigate this pivotal offseason without a key member of their scouting department. As first reported by ESPN’s Kiley McDaniel on Monday morning, Justin Horowitz is leaving Boston for Pittsburgh, where he’ll be the Pirates’ new director of amateur scouting, Horowitz first joined the Red Sox organization as a baseball operations intern in 2012. By September 2020, he was special assistant of amateur scouting.
-
LOL. I don't care we get us a few.
-
Maybe likely lost to Rule 5? Gambrell? Scott? Anyone else?
-
Lots of poor fielding 2Bmen on this list
-
I'd do it, but one year of a guy who can't stay healthy is not something we need more of. We need dependable, innings eating and reliable starters.
-
Serious upside, but the average of 12 GS and 72 IP over the last 3 years seems like more of the same. That beng said, I'd probably do it.
-
It may have been knocked over.
