BTV rates the trade as 4.9 Rojas for 7.0 Amaya A comparative Sox return might have had to be... 8.0 Yorke 6.7 Verdugo 6.5 Anthony 6.5 Coffey 5.9 Duran 5.6 Lugo 5.6 Walter 5.0 Jordan 5.0 Paulino

Just do what it takes. 2 is better than 3, but if it takes 3, do it. A two year deal with a club option for the 3rd year and moderate buyout should get it done. Leave out any no trade clause.
-
I've suggested a few trades for Michael A Taylor on BTV. He should not cost much in return.
-
Andrus probably wants 3 years. With all our injuries, maybe getting him for 3 would not be 2 years too long.

Doubling and tripling down on this is just digging your hole deeper. I predicted you deny saying an exact quotation I posted from you, and sure enough... If this all only means something to me, why keep the ball rolling? Just put me on ignore, or better yet, just say things you actually mean or own up when you say things you don't mean. Trying to change the meanings of words is not a winning strategy.

I guess we just need to really suck to have fire sale.

Devers signs 11 year $331 million extension

I hear ya. -
That was one guy I thought would be a nice one year bridge to Mayer. Good defense (second at SS w the Fielding Bible.) Oh well.
-
So, exactly as I predicted. You say "for you to mention notin..." then deny you said "for you to mention notin..." It's not analyzing or interpreting. It's what words mean. It's not what I think it means. It what it really means. To think you can't even admit a simple thing like this, speaks volumes, and yes, sad but true. We are on that.
-
I love hearing this from the guy who is like Oh for the last 5 Sox season projections.
-
The Diekman situation was the opposite of the Renfroe one. Good to sign renfroe- bad to trade him. Diekman: bad to sign him- good to trade him. I see it this way: we were not bringing Vaz back, and nobody wanted Diekman back, so basically, we got McGuire, E Valdez and W Abrue for Vaz and Diekman. I'm counting this as a likely plus-plus. The Phan and Hosmer deals? Meh, although we have Ferguson and Rosier, instead of guy we'd likely have lost on Rule 5: Groome.
-
I might as well just claim I never said Red "hated Cora." It would make winning debates so much easier to just deny what was clearly written.
-
You crack me up! You did not write this? ...and for you to mention Notin...
-
The Athletics have agreed to a one-year contract with right-hander Shintaro Fujinami, reports ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
-
Nelson Cruz gets $1M to play for the Padres. Seems like a very low risk signing.
-
I did not mention notin- yet another lie and misrepresentation of my words, but somehow you will now say "I never said you said you mentioned Notin."
-
If you are talking about me, the 5 year plan is up in 2024. (2020 to 2024) I had hopes we could be somewhat competitive, along the way, and 2021 probably gave me false hopes, but I do see our longer term chances as being way better than our longer term chances were in 2019 or 2020. I'm no expert on what is the best way to improve a team, but I think starting with a solid and deep farm should help. I'm not expert on judging how strong our farm is, but it appears to be much better than it looked in 2019 and 2020. I'm happy to see we might see 12-15 prospects or recent grads get a significant look, this year. That hasn't happened in a long time. I see it as a good sign, although some may now get chances they might not deserve, due to injuries happening before the season even starts. I might cry about that, at some point. I have "cried" about not improving the farm and resetting the tax, last deadline. I might be the top crier on that topic, although I do have some company.

Vaz is so clutch, he has an astounding .016 higher OPS Late & Close compared to his overall career OPS of .695. .711 Late & Close (.598 in 2022) .709 2 outs RISP (.734 in 2022) .709 High Leverage (.654 in 2022) .701 RISP .695 career overall (.714 in 2022) I'm going to call these his "untangibles," if it's okay with everyone.
-
You mean intangibles, or am I digging to deep, again?
-
McGuire may very well flop. I'm not convinced he is a good catcher or will even become our FT catcher more than just to start the season. Hell, we may still add a catcher before opening day. I do think the contract Vaz got was more than I would have paid, so I'm glad we got two pretty decent prospects for 2 lost moths of Vaz, and then we traded a Guy I wanted DFA'd for McGuire. To somehow view those turns of events as being a bad thing is laughable.
-
I'd rather have McGuire at peanut cost over the next 3 years than Vaz at his salary. It's not even close. Plus, Bloom was able to dump Diekman and his $4M for 2023 to get McGuire. The mini fire sale I spoke of was doing enough to get us under the tax line.
-
Indeed, and I have said I am, too about several things. I never said crybaby fans or bad or never bring about good things. That was just some poster overanalyzing and misinterpreting, again.
-
Too much for you to read? You expected greatness or even mediocrity from these circumstances? Obviously you did, but you can't show any basis for it.
-
We showed you countless times. If you forgot, you go look. I know what you wrote. I know what words mean. We were talking about Bloom extensions, and you listed 3-4 names, including Sale. You obviously knew he was a DD extension, and maybe was trying to point out our longer history of not-so-good extensions, but you listed Sale with other Bloom extensions. We pointed it out, then, and it wasn't just me, but you denied your words meant what they said then. You'll do the same, now, even if I find it. It's like when you said "You hate Bogey and Bogey's defense, too." you claimed that does not mean I hate Bogey. It would have been so easy to simply say, "that's not what I meant," and I actually believe you did not mean to say that, but what you wrote means I hate Bogey, whether you want it to mean that or not. You just can't do it. Who knows why?
