  1. My suggested trade was an overpay. I tried to pay even more, but BTV would not accept my trade.
  2. Downs is hitting well in the fall league- for what's that worth.
  3. I hope it's not as slow as last year, but I think it will be. I doubt they nail down a new CBA quickly.
  4. TJS is not the death nail it used to be viewed as. I'd rather have Whitlock than Duran + Downs. (BTV has Duran 23, Whitlock 17 & Downs 12.)
  5. I think we'd have to take on a sunken contract to get Castillo without giving up any of these 4. Moustakas makes more sense, because he can play 2B. I doubt Cincy gives up Castillo without getting at least one of our "big 4." (I'd say Whitlock makes it the big 5.) BTV called this a "moderate overpay" by the Sox: Duran, Downs & Groome for Castillo, Moustakas and Akiyama (another salary dump who plays OF)
  6. I was a Brewer fan when they traded Tommy Harper, and others, to the Sox. Harper was my favorite player, and it was then that I switched to being a Sox fan. (My family had just moved from near Count Stadium in Milwaukee to Maine that summer.
  7. I think his talent is in question, too.
  8. What farce awards are announced, today?
  9. He just said he was a bargain at that price. He did not hint at the Sox signing him.
  10. What happened to Castillo in 2021? I'd need a convincing answer to trade a lot for him.
  11. He was the sound man not the drummer.
  12. Now, he’ll go on to be the next Pivetta. Thanks!
  13. It’s kind of like our Perez signing, last winter.
  14. the GG Award is a farce just like all awards.
  15. $9M not $14M like Iglesias, and I noticed some guy from MLBTR projected the Sox as his landing place.
  16. The Cards won 5 GG Awards- first time.
  17. We may go... $14M x 5 ERod $9M x 3 Graveman $9M x 2 Knebel $3M x 2 Iggy That's $35M and I think that would keep us under $210M.
  18. That seems more realistic, and Escobar turns 33, soon. I think Bloom likes Arroyo, and maybe they are now seeing Downs join the late 2022 2B mix. ERod, R Iglesias, Graveman and Iggy might come to about $40M total.
  19. I don't think we trade him, either, but if we do, it might be about his RF defense not his bad week in the post season. His GG nomination was a joke. I get that he has a strong arm for RF, but I had expected Verdugo to be in RF, last winter. Also, his trade value is not all that high, when you figure he will make $6-8M in arb.
  20. That totals $47M a year, which might be close to what the Sox could spend, this winter. Escobar would solve the 2B issue, force Kike FT in CF and help replace losing Schwarber's bat. (Arroyo becomes the infield utility player.) 2 RP'ers would allow Houck or Whitlock to start: Eovaldi, Sale, ERod, Whitlock, Pivetta (Seabold). Our pen would go from suspect to a big plus: Houck, Iglesias, Graveman, Barnes, Brasier, Taylor, Sawamura/DHern/Davis/Bazardo/Valdez/Feltman
  21. Good call on Escobar. .793 OPS since 2018 (.780 since 2019) 29 HRs & 71 XBHs per 162 games Last 3 years: 30 HRs and 103 RBI per 162 games (690 PAs) I'm re-thinking my take on Story. He's only 28...okay he turns 29 in a week, and he's been over .800 for 4 straight years (.880 average), but these splits- home (.972) and Away (.752)- look very scary
  22. If we can spend $40-45M, we could do something like this: $18M ERod $14M R Iglesias $9M Graveman $3M Iggy If it's $35-40M? $14M R Iglesias $9M S Matz $9M Graveman $3M Iggy
  23. What are the best deals from the MLBTR list of projected contracts? (Not necessarily the best deals for the Sox) I like Story & Baez ERod Graveman
  24. Kluber is available, too.
