This one was accepted by BTV: Casas, Rafaela, Walter, Mata, Murphy for Cease & Giolito Turner to 1B, Yoshida to DH, Duvall LF/CF & Refnsyder LF If Whitlock, Houck and Sale return, we can finally put Whitlock, Houck and Crawford back in the pen, giving us this for a 100% healthy staff: Cease Bello Paxton Giolito Sale Jansen Martin Houck Whitlock Schreiber Crawford Winckowski Bernardino Line-up: vR 1. L Duran CF 2. R Turner 1B 3. L Devers 3B 4. L Yoshida DH 5. R Story SS 6. L Verdugo RF 7. R Duvall LF 8. R Hernandez/Arroyo 2B 9. R Wong C vL 1. R Refsnyder LF 2. R Story SS 3. L Devers 3B 4. R Turner 1B 5. L Yoshida DH 6. R Duvall CF (or RF) 7. L Verdugo RF (or Duran CF) 8. R Kike or Arroyo 2B 9. R Wong C Can this be a ring winning team?
-
They could wait to this winter or next deadline, but I'm pretty sure he gets dealt, at some point.
-
I can't imagine the least amount he might extend for would be low enough to allow us to build a team around him and Devers. No matter what, if we are willing to pay him mega bucks, then just sign him as a FA. Is he going to single-handedly lead us to a ring, this fall?

Many of Bloom's prospects are rising quickly.
-
SP's gave him a big jump but not ahead of Mayer, Bleis or Rafaela.
-
I agree, but if we want to be buyers or add a solid SP'er with more than a year of team control, we have to part with good players- not crappy ones. I mentioned adding Pereales to the deal, not because I'm giving up on him or thinks he can't be good, but because I do value him and think other GMs do, too, and will gives us someone very good- like Bieber. We know how good Bieber is, and he already has control.
-
Whitlock and Houck have been very good for almost their whole time in MLB. The sample sizes are not really big, but they are substantial. I'm hopeful one or both will help over the last 2 months of 2023- maybe one can pitch from the pen, if we add a SP'er or two or Sale comes back. Schreiber has been rehabbing, so I think he comes back earlier than CBS claimed.
-
Part of the "lack" is because so many players are or were already called up... Duran EValdez Walter Murphy Chang Reyes D Ham to a lesser extent Jacques Sherriff Dermody Littell C Hamilton Dalbec Kelly
-
They are only "suspects."
-
Bleacher Reports grades the ALE drafts: A Toronto A- Tampa Bay B+ Boston B New York B Baltimore (For what it is worth.) CBS & Sporting News gave the Sox an A for drafting Teel.
-
I agree, but Perales is a difficult situation. He's Rule 5 eligible and has zero chance of playing on the big club in 2024. That, in itself, is not so bad, unless you have 3-4 players in the same boat. We basically did that with Rafaela & Abreu, this year. Perales was signed in 2019. The non season of 2020 hurt his development, and he pitched under 40 IP in 2021-2022 combined. He's been in our system for 4 years, but he doesn't even have 92 IP in the minors, yet. I hate selling low, but I think other GMs value his ceiling and would give us something much better, if he were a part of the package. The extra 40 man slot may end up helping, but it could mean nothing, if we hold the slot for opening day 40 man guys like Ort, Brasier or Tapia.
-
Either way, it was not "good thing" that came to any Sox fan "waiting."
-
It’s not good that our guy sucked
-
Could happen. Not likely.
-
Sale had one bad start, then put up great numbers for a 10 game stretch. We went 8-3 in his starts. We are 5 games over .500. Do the math. Note: in one of those 3 loses, Sale went 8 IP allowing just 1 run.
-
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.
