After 4.5 good seasons, you could finally say you were right. Congrats!
-
Or just traded Taylor for a non 40 guy.
-
You really need an explanation?
-
I guess Kottaras, Lavarnway and Swihart soured me a bit.
-
Wrong! I never said opening day. We had several players on the opening day roster that did worse than these two who did nothing. Mills might help us, next year. Mondesi was a waste, but the 40 man roster slot was a minor issue. We've created 6 slots to the 40 man since opening day, some a revolving door. The whole talk of Ward & Song over Ort and Brasier turned out to be folly. (We could have axed both for Mondesi and Mills, and been no worse off.)
-
Good read. Makes me feel better about drafting a catcher from college.
-
Would Perales be taken on Rule 5? I think yes, so I included him in the trade. I also like Bieber for another year, and maybe we can lock him up longer. You know, like other teams did with Betts and Castillo.
-
They all assume JH would pretend he's not paying Ohtani and spend the same on the rest of the team. One guy on BTV suggested we trade for Ohtani and Trout! LMAO!
-
Would you trade Rafaela, Winckowski, Walter & Perales for 1.3 years of Bieber (SP) and 2 months of Ahmed Rosario (SS)? BTV says it's a minor overpay by BOS.
-
I doubt he'd even make us a top 4 contender.
-
Even if Ohtani agreed to extend at a somewhat reasonable rate, he's barely worth any of these broken down deals, too.
-
Being on the 60 day IL makes that not matter, so much, but yes. Neither did anything or will do anything. Mills might, going forward.
-
CBS has these possible earliest ETAs on our injured players: 7/14 Pablo Reyes (may be DFA'd or traded) & R Bleier (might be helpful) 7/17 C Kluber (whoop-dee-freakin'- doo!) 7/18 G Whitlock (I hope so!) 7/21 J Schreiber (has been rehabbing) & R McGuire (bye bye Alfaro?) 7/22 K Ort (see Kluber comment) 8/1 (Trade Deadline) T Houck (We need him back) 8/1 T Story (may DH for a while, first) 8/2 C Sale (not counting on this.) 9/1 R Mondesi (unreal timing) 9/8 Z Kelly (probably too little, too late) 2024 W Mills Man, that's a lot of players!

Breakdown of 11-20 by SPs: http://news.soxprospects.com/2023/07/draft-day-3-recap-rounds-11-20.html
-
Not more than Bogey, IMO.
-
I would not do that deal, even if he extended with us. Just sign the guy as a FA and keep all you listed, if you want him so badly.
-
They know what they are doing.
-
These trades were accepted on BTV. (I'm not saying I'd do all of them.) Romero, Wink & Walter for Montgomery & DeJong Romero & Yorke for Montgomery, De Jong & Andre Pallante Romero, Walter, Murphy & Bonaci for Tim Anderson and Lucas Giolito Duvall & Chang for Brandon Crawford & $4M
-
Write up on the signing period: http://news.soxprospects.com/2023/07/2023signingperiod.html I wasn't aware that not signing a player in rounds 1-10 means you lose that slot money, too.
-
I guess “a lot” is subjective. I ‘m not talking Luis Castillo haul but maybe a top 50 prospect or two 51-100’s.
-
We could have gotten a lot for Bogey. If we could get McGuire for Diekman, I know we could do better with Strahm. Yes, Nate and Wacha were hurt, but teams would have given us something useful for them and Hill. JD was a hard one to figure returns. We did not have to trade for 40 man roster or Rule 5 guys. I'm just saying, they were worth more than this year's group of candidates. The two year guys like Jansen and Martin should bring back good returns. Turner's option might hurt his returns. I'm not saying trade em all, if we suck at the deadline, but the idea does have some merit.
-
I do think we could have gotten more for Bogey, JD, Nate, Wacha, Hill and Strahm than we could get, this year, but adding the 2 year guys would help us get a nicer haul. In theory, we replace them, in kind, next winter, through free agency. Again, I'm not for selling, as of July 11th. Ask me on July 31st.
-
I don’t think the upper brass thinks we are one or two solid pitchers away from a ring, so I doubt we trade a top 5 prospect. I’m not sure we even trade a 6-12 one, either. I doubt we sell unless we suck the next 3 weeks. If we do, I think we’ll trade Duvall, Paxton and Kike and consider two year older guys like Jansen, Martin and Turner.
-
We really need to trade for a SPer now. We might get 3 pitchers back at the deadline. Who carries toAugust 1st?
-
Most players are greatly helped by their best 9 games.
