Mahle signs, despite being expected to miss the start or '24, for $22M/2 w TEX. ($5M in bonuses can be made.)
-
They probably would not want Duran, despite the higher BTV score. Duran, EValdez and the best non 40 man pitcher in our system you want for Castillo.
-
I wanted him when SEA traded for him. I guess he has a no trade clause, but I'd kick the tires on him. These one year and done pitchers scare the bejesus out of me.

Strange way to cut salary.

For Mayer?

Craig Breslow hired as Head Of Baseball Operations

The Blooms are wilting. -
Like Miller or Woo, who are even younger? The trade talk was about SP'ers. No Mayer for Miller, of course.

24 GMs look like Bloom, so far. -
I really like Castillo, but if you want to cut payroll, why trade great young arms like Gilbert or Kirby?
-
Maybe Martin could be the next Uehara.
-
The thing is, all but Castillo are young pitchers they are thinking about trading. I'm wondering why they don't shop Castillo, instead.
-
I hate to quote GW, but it's a "stragedy."
-
Me, too, despite Martin being almost 2 years older.
-
I can understand any GM not valuing Duran all that highly. I doubt we offered Mayer and Duran or Rafaela, but I would think that might draw interest, as a starting point.
-
Sounds right. That fits the Sox strategy more. 5 not 7.

Agreed. He could do better with similar budgets as Bloom, but it's "up to JH on the spending amounts." I see no evidence that Brez is repeating what Bloom did. His only moves have been somewhat minor: O'Neill (comp to Duvall?) 3 pitchers for Dugo (This is not the same as trading 3 years of Beni for Wink, Gambrell and Franchy) Urias for Campbell (no easy Bloom comp) -
2024 ZiPS Projections for the Sox: FWAR 2.6 Bello 2.2 Sale 2.1 Pivetta 1.8 Crawford 1.5 Houck 1.0 Murphy+Walter+Drohan 4.1 Pen 3.6 3B- Devers 3.4 SS- Story 2.4 1B- Casas 2.4 DH- Yoshida 2.3 RF- Dugo 2.0 2B- EValdez & Co. 1.9 LF- Abreu/Yoshi 1.9 CF- Duran/Rafaela 1.5 C- Wong/McGuire https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2024-zips-projections-boston-red-sox/ The Red Sox look like an 80–86 win team or so. That kind of team can surprise, and with the coins flipping a bit different last year, they could have made a real wild card run. The Orioles, Blue Jays, and Rays are a clear tier above them, though, and when all is said and done by winter’s end, I think the Yankees may be as well. But that last question is a tale for another ZiPS entry.

He might, but it's way too early to know this. Besides, it's about JH not the GM, when it comes to spending amounts. -
Imanaga's numbers... ERA (IP) K/BB 2.83 (149) 4.4 in '21 2.04 (159) 4.7 in '22 2.66 (159) 7.9 in '23 (age 29) Ysmo... 1.39 (194) 5.2 in '21 1.68 (193) 4.9 in '22 1.16 (171) 6.3 in '23 (age 24)

I think many see the Nola signing as a team-friendly deal.

6 Reasons Why Yamamoto's Stock Is Rising... Why Yoshinobu Yamamoto's stock is soaring WWW.MLB.COM Only one pitcher in MLB history has signed a contract larger than $245 million. Gerrit Cole eclipsed that number and set a record for pitchers when he inked a nine-year, $324 million deal with the Yankees in 2019, just days after Stephen Strasburg signed a seven-year, $245 million contract with

I'd say if yamo gets $300M/10, Snell will get $200M/7, Monty should get $180/7 and Imanaga $150M/7 or more.
-
Sometimes, a pitcher being connected to someone does not mean it's in a good way. Maybe, Bailey did not like what he saw in Manaea and will push for a pass on him.
-
I think all these pitchers were waiting for Ohtani and Yamo to "reset the market" for them.
-
I agree, that is the floor, for me. Even if we go big at 2B and maybe add a catcher or RF'er, I'd still be disappointed with anything less than Monty and Imanaga.
