They gave Dugo the day off right before the AS break, but it was vs a LHPs. Ref started in LF (good idea) and Duvall started in RF (good idea.) When the lefty was pulled, Dugo cam in the game to replace Ref (good idea.) I don't think this was a good example to criticize Cora.
-
It accepts: Duran or Dugo Yorke Urias or Drohan for Torres and Schmidt
-
Rich Hill is still winning... or is he?
-
Not a bad type of trade. We could then trade Urias. How about Urais & Dugo or Duran for Torres and Schmidt.
-
I should not have said power RHB. If we can get a high OBP RHB, that would be very helpful, too.
-
That was one trade I felt we could have jumped at. Apparently, that 1Bman was pretty highly, so it's hard to know what we would have had to have given. The multiple years of control was the big plus.
-
The window is/was 2023-2028ish.
-
So, is 2024 year 5 or 6?
-
Maybe we need to make a big trade for a RHB, and use all the money on SP'ers.
-
If he would agree to DH, he'd likely play more games and have more good years, but they can't even get him to move to LF.
-
If we don't go all in, this year, we need to add 2-3 players with longer term deals that rate to still be good in 2-3 years, when maybe the "true window" opens wide. I hate the ides of thinking 2-3 years ahead, continuously. We've been in this mode since the trade deadline in 2019 (4.5 years.) Now, we are looking at another 1 year added on? It's easy for me to say, JH just has to step it up on spending, and I have expected that to happen the last 1-2 years, but it's gotten to the point, where I'm not expecting it, but still think it could happen.
-
We already have 4-5 players on the 26, who are negatives on defense. At least 3 could be the FT DH, and others might platoon at DH and be a back-up elsewhere. To me, we could use a big RHB at at 2B and OF, but only if we trade a LHB OF'er like Dugo or Duran. If we move Yoshida to DH, we could sign Duvall and not trade anyone, except maybe Refsnyder, despite him being our best hitter vs LHPs since 2022. We need to thread a needle on our winter choices concerning a big RHB. I'm a huge Turner fan, but I can't see signing him, unless we can somehow trade Yoshida. (Not happening.)

According to BTV, Trout is owed about $250M/7 and has a net value of -87. That does show they feel his value before applying the contract cost is about $160M/7. With all the injuries, and the fact that he is getting older, I'd pass. For argument's sake, let's say the Angels pay about half: $125M/7. His BTV would be about $35M. In terms of Sox values, Mayer (59) would be an overpay, unless LAA paid an additional $25M. Houck at $30M is about the closest. Bleis + Wink does it, too. We don't need another OF'er.
-
Good points. Normally, I'd say trade for a younger, top pitcher, as they cost too much in free agency, and are usually not "younger.' and sign FA batters, where needed, but this year is not good for big RH'd bats.
-
They also did try to spend on Rollie Fingers and Joe Rudi, so there was a time period where it did look like they were willing to "go that extra mile." While the guys you mentioned were big names, many were over the hill or close to it. Tian'ts resurgence was amazing, but not really predictable. I saw the Catfish Hunter signing by the Yanks, along with countless others, and it was frustrating to see us avoid going the full distance.
-
Me, too. Sometimes the frustration becomes so much, I forget to point out that fact.
-
It must be that the AL Central is so great.
-
soxprospects.com gave out 3 awards: Tristan Casas- Graduate of the Year Brayan Bello- Homegrown Player of the Year Mookie Betts- Ex-Prospects of the Year
-
AVG in RF Above in LF
-
Verdugo or Duran Plus Yorke, Drohan and Walter to MIA for Garrett was accepted on BTV.
-
This year, surprisingly kinda yes, but career, I'd say average.
-
The guy we tried to get, Eflin, just let up a 4 spot.
-
There are not a lot of RHB impact player on the FA or trade market. We likely will settle on Duvall, but there may be high demand for him.
-
If they both hit over .800, I wouldn’t care, but that is doubtful. We agree on spending on pitching as a better choice than Chapman, assuming we can’t “have it all.”
-
Yes, with the idea bring Chapman, Devers and Casas would split all the corner IF and DH slots, Chapman would essentially be taking JTs slot on offense. Yoshida would only DH when one of those 3 got a day off or were hurt. That puts a further squeeze on the OF, but a trade could free up some room for the kids. Forcing Duran out of LF is not too appealing, to me.
