    I don't disagree. I wanted Breggie back, and I think he did more to help other players on the 2025 team than he was even given credit for, and he was given a lot of credit. I still think a 30 year old Suarez is less of a risk than a 32 year old Bregman, who has been on a 3-4 year steady decline on offense, except for half of 2025.

    A thread is not good enough, I guess.

    I'm not sure how many of Slaten's injuries have been major, but when all is said and done, if he's out significant time every year, like he has been, it hurts the team. I get that. He missed about 8 weeks in 2024 and came back with a decent ending, but not as good as pre-injury. 2.44 FIP pre/ 3.17 post He missed about half of 2025. (3.18 pre/ 4.49 post) All together, he's missed about half the time. That sucks.

    Even if Duran is better than Paredes, which only time will tell, we'd be better with Paredes, since Duran, Rafaela or Masa are on the bench because of the OF/DH logjam, anyway.

    Paredes has a club option for 2027. It becomes mutual, if he finishes in top 10 MVP voting.

    MLBTR reports on an ex-Sox player... The Pirates sent utility infielder Enmanuel Valdez outright to Triple-A Indianapolis, per the MLB.com transaction log. He evidently cleared waivers after being designated for assignment when the Bucs called up Konnor Griffin last week. Also reported... Red Sox manager Alex Cora informed reporters today that right-hander Johan Oviedo has been diagnosed with a flexor strain. He has avoided surgery but will be shut down from throwing for six weeks. Chris Cotillo of MassLive was among those to relay the details of the situation.

    He has looked terrible in a very SSS, but yes. He is more questionable now, than he was before the season began. Some of us looked at his record over the last 2-3 years and had high expectations. I have concerns about every player, even Crochet & Anthony, and those concerns can rise or fall slightly based on recent performance and production- or lack of it. Lately, you have been Mr. Short Sample Size, so I find your point a bit puzzling.

    I find that very hard to believe. Maybe not a guy Brez wanted, but I'm sure some decent and better infielders were there for Duran- straight up. On sports talk shows here in HOU, Duran for Paredes was talked about a lot, and the bottom line was that the Sox wanted more than just Paredes and HOU said no. HOU's first choice was Abreu. There was also some talk of Duran and Bello for Paredes and several other players/prospects, but they could not agree on who the others were.

    Yet, when we suggested trading Sale, this same thing was supposed to be overlooked. It is very concerning that he has now missed time in all 3 seasons with the Sox. I'm not sure about his minor league injury history, but I do know he was a starter until 2021-2022.
  10. moonslav59
    That's true for just about every FA pitcher. To me, the contract number and years seemed about what should have been expected. It was obviously a fall-back from Breggie, but I think the Breggie contract was more "suspect" than Suarez's.
  11. moonslav59
    Word down here in HOU was that HOU wanted Abreu, but they'd take Duran for Paredes. The sticking point was that Brez wanted more than just Duran. (I suggested one or two from King, Sousa and Janek.)
  12. moonslav59
    No and Yes.
  13. moonslav59
    They are not the same, but patience may be needed for Slaten, too.
  14. moonslav59
    Agreed. I was on a rant about how our second tier FA signings, like Story & Yoshida have been big letdowns. It's been over 8 years since we've struck gold on a major FA signing. Suarez should not be added to the list, despite two bad starts.
  15. moonslav59
    I don't get why we didn't trade Duran or Rafaela for a 3Bman or 2Bman better than Durbin. Sure, prospects are nice, but we had a big hole at 3B on the big club.
  16. moonslav59
    The thing is 160 is the new 190.
  17. moonslav59
    Someone was just telling me about patience.
  18. moonslav59
    I still think Suarez will turn it around, but he seems more questionable now, than 2 weeks ago.
  19. moonslav59
    Even when we surprise and make a signing, it's no longer David Price level big. Our luck with the second tier FAs is about as bad as it can be, and now Suarez is looking questionable. Suarez Yoshida Story (The last second tier good signing was JD.) We've made some bold trades, and many have worked out well. The last one was Crochet. If we ever hit paydirt on a FA signing, maybe we can go somewhere.
  20. moonslav59
    Imagine he imploded. Fire CORA would be screamed by many.
  21. moonslav59
    What about June Greene?
  22. moonslav59
    I never believed all that stuff.
  23. moonslav59
    Yoshida was the secondary aspect of the trade an OF'er for an IF'er. It didn't have to be Duran.
