LOL. Maybe, what we thought was a star was just a satélite.
-
Going last puts pressure on making a presentation that beats everyone else's. Maybe not just the money, but pulling out all the stops to make the player feel like he is the top priority. They have to match or exceed the one that has impressed him, before coming to meet with BOS. I hope we are up to the task.
-
Sounds good, in theory, but why wouldn’t he wait? We’d have to be blowing others away with an offer for him to jump the Yamo signing.
-
The Dodgers made the Rays pay $4M. I do think they might be out of the Yamo race, but who knows. NYY-BOS-NYM-TOR?
-
Extension pending
-
Flaherty to DET for $14M/1.
-
I disagree. I'm just not sure they "want him" that much.
-
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.
