I wonder if the hold up is over Bogey's desire to stay at SS (short or long term.) If he insists on SS, I'd refuse a no-trade clause.
-
A solid SP'er would take some pressure off the pen, IMO. Our 9 man pen currently looks like this: Jansen Houck Martin Schreiber Barnes Joely R. Crawford Winckowski Brasier/Taylor/Kelly/German/Politi/Wallace/DHern/Fernandez Converted minor league SP'ers: Mata, Walter, Murphy, Seabold, Santos, TWard If adding another pen arm insures a Brasier DFA or trade, like it should, I'm all for it, but more likely we'll have Wink or Crawford start the season in AAA, assuming no injuries- ha, ha, ha!
-
Andrus and Conforto will not match Bogey's AAV and certainly not years- even if combined.
-
I guess they could give him a bumped up offer and get him to agree to come back for a final chance to match, but you may be right. It's today or never for Bogey & the Sox. My question is, what do they do with "Bogey's money," if he bolts?
-
Contreras gats $17.5M x 5 with STL.
-
Options remaining on players that matter (per SPs): 0 Brasier Refsnyder Joely R 1 DHern Seabold Mata (why just 1?) Wong 2 Taylor Crawford & Wink Duran & Downs Ort Park 3 Schreiber Kelly German (All the Rule 5's added + Casas)
-
As long as it's not heavy petting, although, if that's what it takes...
-
Sounds about right. If we need to put him in the pen for a while to limit his inning, that should be fine, but we need to add a solid SP for that to happen. We aren't getting 28+ starts from our current projected rotation.
-
His OPS Against in 2022 was second best in his last 4 years. It is way better from '21-'22 than '19-'20. He may very well "be in decline," but in some areas, he hasn't shown it. Even at 90-95%, he's a vast improvement over what we have. The only question is will he do it. He was probably the 2nd or 3rd best RP'er on the market, this winter.
-
That looks pretty decent. Crawford may beat out Wink or we may keep both as swingmen/long relief profiles. 9 RP'ers is the norm. Maybe we add Crawford or German or acquire another. I think we are done with pen additions.
-
I think everyone knows this fact. Some players don't choose the best offer. Judge just left $40M on the table. It sounded like a gratuitous jab at the Sox for not being "contenders."
-
Rule 5 draft is today. We have 39 on the roster with Martin and jansen pending.
-
I'm guessing we're done with pen additions.
-
If Rogers gets less, I'll have wished we got him, but it seems Bloom can't win, here, no matter what he does.
-
I get that. I might have offered him $15M x 2, but he may have said no to that. The Mets certainly look like better contenders, at this point.
-
I'm talking specifically about this year's needs, in theory, but yes finding 3 FAs that will make about $30M at SS, SP and RF is not really possible. Correa, Judge and Bassit might come closest to $90M/3 Maybe Correa, Nimmo and Senga or Bogey, Judge and Senga.
-
Contreras about to sign with Cards. They usually value defense and other behind the plate skills, so maybe Contreras is better than I thought, there.
-
It's been an exciting signing period the last few days.
-
We went over the tax line, anyway, in 2022, so yes, good point.
-
Maybe, they went against Bloom's wishes or choices.
-
If that's where Jansen & family was, great idea!
-
Makes you wonder: does DD choose owners willing to spend, or does he have a way of talking them into spending more or even a little more?
-
Not bad at $13M x 2. This is another deal, I's have matched. The 2 years is fine.
-
Agreed, but if I had to, I'd go 3 x 30 over 9 x 10.
-
Although some stats show some decline, he's still damn good at age 35. OPS Against .652 in '19 .615 in '20 .501 in '21 .612 in '22 His 3.86 K/BB rate was his best in 3 years. He's 10th in fWAR by RP'ers the last 3 years at 3.5
