Agreed. I'm not 100% sure Bogey would take a $220M/6 offer from Boston over a $220m/6 offer from some other selected teams, but yes, we kinda knew about Betts. I get the feeling Devers loves playing with the Sox, but maybe he'd love playing in Alaska, too.
-
Um, I did say "Yes, Nestor is younger." Maybe your reading comprehension skills need more work. What makes Nestor's ERA+ 103, now, is a tiny sample size similar to the one you blasted me for using with Pivetta's recent 3 game stretch. (BTW, I also referenced Pivetta's 2021 season and his full time with the Sox, 100 ERA+ in 192 IP, which is about the same IP'd and ER+ as Nestor has, career 103 in 202 IP.)
-
They decided no Bogey before the Story signing. Had they not signed Story, they'd have added a SS by opening day next season, anyway. Yes, it sent a clear message to Bogey, but it is what it is. They do not value Bogey like Bogey and his agent do, and like some GMs will do, this winter.
-
That is a clear distinction, but he had more value at his time of free agency than the other two do/will, thanks to his defense.
-
No doubt, but we should have over $100M to spend, next winter, and who knows how much after 2023. Just as one example, if we lost Bogey & Nate but signed Judge and 2 from Wacha, Manaea + Bassitt, would you think that was a gain?
-
I'm not one of those posters. I once suggested offering Betts a 14 year deal, and have repeatedly posted "Devers Forevers!" However, if management thinks they can sign better FAs than these last 3 (Betts, Bogey & Devers), and they pan out, I won't complain.
-
Nestor's was 94, before this year. Yes, he's younger, but pitchers do get better, often enough.
-
2.6 was more than Taillon, last year, as well as more than German & King combined. He might "suck,' if he were a team's ace, but he's our #5. His 2.1 fWAR placed him 61st out of MLB's top 150 SP'ers (30 teams x 5 starters). That means he was very close to being top 60 (or in the #2 SP'er category.) That's not a tiny sample size. How about a bigger sample size? Since he joined the Sox in Sept of 2020, he still ranks 61st out 150 SP'ers in that time frame with a 2.6 fWAR. 2.2 Nestor Cortes 1.2 D German having a guy that ranks as a top #3 starter in MLB as your 5th starter does not "suck."
-
33-38 is a 6 year deal. Come on, jacko!
-
Not as long as he keeps spending big and winning every few years.
-
I picked his entire time with the Sox. You want to highlight his Philly career and first 4 starts of 2022. We both are cherry-picking but one is lying about the other’s sample size choice.
-
Sound about right. Likely not enough to win the bidding.
-
I can see passing on Nate, at his age and with his history, but a 3 year deal is not a killer. He was such a big part of the 2018 ring, and his clubhouse presence is worth something.
-
Who would be? he'll take $27M.
-
Losing 1 is understandable. Losing 2 is a shame. Losing 3 is unforgivable.
-
I think people forget it is free agent money, not pre-arb player money, and within the context of the debate about extending or re-signing Devers or replacing him with some other FA, the numbers are relevant. .
-
Locking yourself into career numbers is missing the forest for the trees. Players often take time to develop into decent pitchers. He still walks too many batters, but he makes it up on allowing fewer hits. He was good last year and has been good the last 3 starts, this year. Don't let his first 4 starts and his career in Philly outweigh everything else. Now, that being said, he can certainly revert to his old self, but he may not. I never said Pivetta is great, but he does not suck. A 4.26 FIP since joining the Sox is pretty damn good for a 5th starter, and beats many team's number 3 and 4 starters.
-
On a team that can spend over $200M, every year, we can afford to keep 1 or 2 of our best players for the long haul. Devers will be younger than most FAs, so replacing him in kind, via free agency, later on makes little sense for 2024 and beyond. Just extend him or re-sign him. He's worth it. (Plus, don't give the Yanks a chance to get this lefty!)
-
Again, your reading skills are lacking. I posted... "Freakin' Chris Sale!" from day one (LOL!)
-
1. Pivetta does not suck. 2. If you went by injury history, the Yanks would be in need of a rebuild, now. 3. We finally have several decent pitching prospects in AA and AAA. 4. Sale was is not "very injury prone." 5. $110M goes a long way when adding pitchers.
-
43 minutes for Harden. 11 pts. No free throws. Cancer. Nuff said.
-
DEVERS FOREVERS!! He's going to get even better!
-
I never get why you guys keep thinking a rebuild on a team spending top 5 in MLB is going to take years and years. The farm already has good players who will be called up in a matter of weeks or months NOT 2-3 years.
-
I picked, three as well. Offering him a deal, now, makes sense with his injury history, he might take a little less. Would you offer $75M/3 or more?
-
Jimmy Butler da-MAN!
