  1. Okay. I now await the breakdown of our top 3 pitchers vs NYY's and TOR's...
  2. I'm just saying no Brez adds a 3Bman and 2Bman, unless he trades Mayer.
  3. Nice try. I'm not the guy who gives Duran (valued at 45) for Paredes (valued at 12.)
  4. Just my opinion. IMO, Paredes is worth close to 30. Duran, maybe 40.
  5. We can bet Bichette won't be the 2Bman.
  6. Did NOT see this coming! $26M x 5 No deferrals. No opt outs. The first 5+ year deal since Yoshida in 2023.
  7. The Red Sox are going to sign left-hander Ranger Suárez, reports Jon Heyman of The New York Post. It’s a five-year deal worth $130MM, report
  8. While I think BTV overvalues Duran (46) and undervalues Paredes (12) I don't think 3 years of Duran is equal to 2 years of Paredes. Yes, we are "desperate" for an infielder, but HOU is desperate for an OF'er. If we trade Duran for Paredes, I'd want 2 from this group: B King, Sousa, Abreu or their catching prospect Janek. (Maybe just one and some decent prospect.)
  9. I guess you didn't see the 2025 Bregman, Buehler and Chapman signings coming, either.
  10. Depends how you rate SP'ers. If you go by the idea that a #1 is a top 3 SP'er, and a #2 is 31-60 and so on, then fWAR would score them this way from 2025's numbers: #1 Crochet (4th ranked) #1 Gray (20th) #2 Bello (60th) #5 Oviedo & Harrison NR Sandoval & Crawford We lost a #3 Giolito (65th) and maybe a #3 in Dobbins (#114th in a half season) plus #5s Buehler, Fitts & Houck.
  11. I think HOU wants an OF'er. They love taking pitchers they think are an Astros tweek away from a CY Young Award, but it's hard to know if they spot one on the Sox roster. If they were high on Campbell, a one-for-one trade works well on BTV. I'd even add a mis level prospect, too, if needed- maybe Phillips or Eyanson.
  12. The Dodger salary dump was in August 2012.
  13. I think we're a better team with just a decent addition at 3B (or 2B) but I was hoping for significantly more.
  14. We can but we want Mayer at 2B or 3B. I'd be fine with Geno & Paredes and then trade Duran, Mayer, Casas and Witherspoon for Skenes. LOL
  15. Most felt we needed to add more than Chapman and Wilson. Some viewed Hendriks as the most likely closer, if healthy.
  16. That was implied. Only Wacha and Hill kinda worked out. Gio gave us 1 good year.
  17. I know I've said this before, but if we had these same 3 pitchers topping our rotation and beginning the year on the IL, the sky would be falling. Yet, most here, including myself, have the Yanks projected with more wins than BOS in 2026.
  18. The 2013 spending spree barely replaced the money "saved" with the Dodger salary dump trade the year before. Ben's early spending seemed limited. We all wished he'd have signed Scherzer not Pablito and HRam, but instead we got that ugly pair and then spent on Price the next year. That was DD's big splurge moment. He did not really spend much on FAs between Price and JD, but those two were biggies.
  19. I think Romy as the FT 2Bman is a smaller if than trading for Donovan.
  20. Will you boo him wildly- like a rabid fan?
  21. He showed some serious decline in 2024, too, so I don't see it as a one year possible blip. Maybe he can rebound, but it would be a rebound. BTW, Buehler wasn't injured either. Neither was Gio, when we signed him. Kluber had pitched a full season before we signed him. Those "hopes for rebounds" were based more in return to glory hopes than come back from injury to prior form hopes. Galen fWAR 4.2 '22> 5.2 '23 (the guy we want to see again)> 2.8 '24> 1.1 '25 xFIP: 3.31>3.49>3.62>4.12 ERA-: 62>79>88>114 No thanks. If we did sign him, I'm not pencilling him in above Gray in the #2 slot. I doubt I'd slot him above Bello either.
