Joc Pederson accepts QO. Angels- Tyler Anderson agree to $39M/3 after QO was offered.
-
Yes, very balanced. You praised the Wacha, Strahm, Schreiber and Refsnyder additions as much as you criticized the JBJ trade. I have to agree with you, on this.
-
Will that improve his K rate and hard hit ball%?
-
I might just go bigger and Bolder
-
Are you advocating for bigger not bolder?
-
I'm thinking the Sox would be more likely to say no, but many trades might get no's from both sides.
-
Contreras declines QO. M Perez accepts QO.
-
Very true. I won't be surprised, if Abreu is not protected, but I won't be surprised, if he's selected on the draft, wither.
-
You can never have enough pitching, and Houck is an upgrade over Flexin. It's upgrading quality not adding quantity of pitching.
-
Not me. I even said, back a ways, I'd rather give Wacha a QO than Nate, but I realize that was unsound.
-
In all honesty, did he "sell" you on Wacha, Hill and Strahm? I know some here tried to convince me Diekman was a good risk signing.
-
Maybe the Mariners can sign Bogey or Correa and make this trade: Houck for Crawford, Flexen and Winker. (I'm not sure I like this trade, but we do get a SS, DH and SP'er.)
-
To someone younger, maybe via trade. I am clinging to the idea of taking on some salary from the Marlins- like AGarcia or Soler to lessen the return needed for Lopez, Garrett, Lazardo, Rogers or Cabrera. I think Alcantara is off limits. If we could get Berti, too, I'd be thrilled.
-
Glancing at the 40 man roster, I notice a few interesting things: 1. Only 6 players were on the 40 man roster under DD: Barnes, Sale, Devers, Brasier, Taylor and DHern. 2. Other than those 6, only 7 others were in the Sox system under DD: Dalbec, Houck, Mata, Duran, Crawford, Casas & Bello. 3. That leaves 24 slots filled by players acquired after DD left. Rule 5 additions will likely be: Rafaela, Walter, Ward, Murphy & Wikelman (all DD) These 5 would bring DD's number up to 18 out of 40. Possibles: Abreu (Bloom), Scott (DD), Wallace (Bloom), Politi (DD)
-
I'm not sure which is worse: Nate at $19.3M/1 or $30M/2. Neither is a real bad deal, but I think it's time we move on.
-
Manager of the Year will be announced, today. It is expected that Cora receives only one vote, from Ole Red.
-
Today is also the deadline for QO players to accept or decline.
-
Just say NO! This guy is not the next Martin Perez.
-
We might have a better chance picking up a useful RP'er by claiming one DFA'd, today.
-
Are you projecting Rule 5 protection for SS?
-
The draft is Dec 7th. I'm hopeful, but it is rare that a Rule 5 pick is significant, and maybe we used all our luck up on the Whitlock selection.
-
You crack me up! I needed a good laugh, this morning.
-
I think the team needs to return to the philosophy of higher OBP and a newer one on adding more speed or heads up baserunners. I think Abreu fits that mold, and yes, he shows better hope than Reed or Ort. Those type are everywhere- more like them will be released, today as other teams add Rule 5'ers to their 40 man rosters.
-
The AFL numbers are a pretty small sample size, and a .774 OPS seems a bit better than okay in Portland. The larger sample size of the full 2022 season in AA shows a player worthy of protecting. .834 OPS in 579 PAs He was second in all of the minor leagues in BBs at 114. He's no speed demon, but he did steal 31 bases with only 3 CS. While 48 XBJs is not bad, his most important asset may be his OBP. It was .399, this season, .363 last season (A+) and .355 in A ball in 2019. With so little OD depth on the farm, I view him right behind Rafaela and above Duran as our OF farm depth for 2023. I think we protect him.
-
My prediction for Rule 5 Protection Day: We add: Rafaela, Walter, Ward to get us to 40. DFA Chang and add Murphy DFA C Hamilton and add W. Gonzalez DFA Jake Reed (maybe Kaleb Ort) and add W Abreu Take our chances and do not protect: Paulino (too far away), Politi & Wallace (fingers crossed) I don't think we have to worry about: Fernandez, Bonaci, Scott, Feltman, Koss, Hamilton, Jimenez, V. Santos, Cottam or Granberg.
