Understandable. But, Mondesi? Chump change for a position we actually needed, but the guy stretched 1 month rehab into a year's vacation.

9/12 vs Yankees Game 1

That hurt. -
No, but if we pass TOR & TEX, we don't have to pass SEA.
-
Maybe because he will likely have $48M to spend and all the everyday slots are filled.
-
The other thing is, we play TOR and TEX 3 times, each.
-
If we can make Bello our #3, we'd be well off. We can then handle our 4 and 5 going 4 innings most of the time. One thing of note, although Pivetta has not be all that consistent, he has give IP as our 5th starter. 5.1 in 2021 (second best on staff to Nate) 5.4 in 2022 (just 0.1 behind Nate and Wacha) 5.1 in 2023 (behind Bello and 0.1 below the league avg.)
-
I feel the same way. Just one would be enough to get me into the content category, but 2 -3 would make us real contenders.
-
I wasn't downplaying Troy, but Bloom has been here for 4 years, so trying to find a waiver guy to match a 7 yr bWAR is not a fair comp. If Schreiber continues, as is, he could pass Troy after 7 yrs.
-
Troy was with the Sox for 7 yrs. Schreiber 3.6 bWAR is 2.1 yrs. Bernardino 1.2 in 1/2 yr. Ref 1.3 in 2 yrs. Arroyo 2.2 in 3.5 yrs (I might be missing someone.)
-
Hard to know for sure if Dan D could have built a winner under JH. Theo was awesome.
-
Sustain a 3-4 year window? Maybe, it means between windows, we don't finish in last place 3 out of 4 years? Because, we still keep a steady flow of maturing prospects?
-
Maybe. I think he'd prefer a $150M/6 guy or two $110M/5 guys, though.
-
Yes, for sure.
-
Trades. Lackey and Price were really the only two major FA attempts Trades: Pedro (pre-JH) Schilling Beckett Sale Porcello (not really an ace) It has worked, for us, Compare that list to our homegrown aces since the late 90's: Lester
-
It seems to be what the Sox history has been. Build up, add an ace, win a ring, reset, rinse and repeat.
-
I guess that is worse than being choked.
-
I like him, a lot, too. I knew I was forgetting someone I liked.
-
I do, too, but I like Houck, Whitlock and Crawford more for pen duty than Pivetta. He seems to give more inning, even if maybe not as good as others.
-
The 5th starter will be Pivetta.
-
I forgot to put Yamamoto on the list.
-
Like I said, some of my numbers are probably way off. You are right: he should get more money and the same or more years from some dumb GM like Cashman.
-
GMs do often pay a lot more based on most recent numbers, but I do think they may be cautious with Snell. 4.1 BB/9 career and 5.1 in 2023. 1.25 WHIP career and 1.26 in 2023. Yes, that shiny 2.52 ERA screams of greatness, as did his league leading 1.89 ERA way back in 2018, but in between, his numbers were not close to Cy Young, and the sample size is his 4 more recent seasons prior to 2023: 3.85 ERA, but only a 104 ERA+ 1.257 WHIP 3.9 BB/9 85 GS out of a possible 114 414 IP out of maybe 660 at a 200 IP/yr rate. I want this guy, but it's hard to know what GM are going to offer, this winter. Someone will likely offer way more than Bloom does.
-
Probably, but I did give him 6 years. He might get $26M x 4 or 5.
-
A bit morbid.
-
I think all of us are very concerned that Yoshida may underperform his contract, especially since we usually expect the best to be years 1, 2 and 3. The word was, our scouts we having wet dreams over this guy for years and years. I guess, at some point, you have to trust your scouts or replace them. Ultimately, it seems it was Bloom who made the final call on Yoshi and Story. Both still have several years left to make good or salvage what they have started out producing, but it's really too early to make the call on Yoshi. I'm not sure my theory is correct, but if the team's plan was to fill up the foundation of everyday players, and then add SP'ers right before "the window opens," then maybe we can see why the moves are not as "odd" as it seems.
