I kinda hope the Yanks sweep, do some heavy buying then suck again.
-
We’ll need more than Scherzer and Rizzo to beat the LAD and probably SFG or SDP, too. Let’s go large and long this winter.
-
When your staff is allowing just 1-2 runs a game, you don’t need a great offence. They added Cruz, so don’t you think that’s a big add? They have scored just 20 runs less than us before Cruz. The Rays are right with us now, before Cruz, Glasnow and maybe Scherzer. They will be the AL faves with Scherzer. They will not be MLB faves. (I know Scherzer likes the west coast.)
-
That philosophy brought us 2019 and 2020. I’m not for doing nothing, and I don’t think Downs and scraps gets us Scherzer, anyway. I want to win it all this year, but I don’t think now is the time to blow up the whole plan. I’m not shy about big deals- at the right time. I felt Sale brings us a ring, and he brought a 3 year window. I don’t think Scherzer makes us the faves, and he’s a 2 month rental. Show me trades for 3+ year aces and I’ll likely be all aboard.
-
I’m not even all that high on Downs, but keeping the most top prospects improves your odds. Downs is not blocked if Bogey opts out after 2022. We owe this team some deals like we made in2018- both rentals by the way, but nothing really all that promising. If we are trading top prospects, it should be like the Sale deal and at the right time. I get the sense of urgency, but I think we’re a better team next year and beyond. I realise, if I’m wrong, we may look back at 2021 as a great blunder.

Yup. Bloom has a clue.
-
Plus Cruz. That's 3 huge pieces.
-
100%
-
I'm pretty sure Cora is on board for long term. We will make a move or two to give us a better chance. No move will hurt our long term, IMO. Anybody we trade will be someone not in our long term plans. Maybe that just what I hope, but My gut tells me Bloom and Cora agree.
-
Adding Scherzer makes them the AL Fave. No offensive stud on the market can do that. (Plus, they already added Cruz. How's that working out?)
-
I'm a freak. I would not go over the tax line for Scherzer. If Bloom & Co are going to go over, he'd be a great get, despite being a rental. I do NOT think now is the time to go big. I like Downs. I wouldn't trade anyone as high as him or even some lower than him for a rental. That's just me. I'm more about the long term and maybe I'm too obsessed with budget lines.

All upper levels rained out. Salem: Drohan went 5 IP 0 H 0 BB 4 Ks
-
It's always about pitching. The Rays know this.
-
They called him up too early!!! (sarcasm alert)
-
Hammies are tough. This was apparently a bad one.
-
I agree. This might be their best chance. I'm looking at it as a Sox fan, and how dealing prospects will give us a better chance going forward. I also think we can still beat a Rays team with Scherzer, this year, too.
-
I agree. There is room for everyone to play enough. I want everyone to play, except maybe Dalbec, but the only drawback is Kike not playing in the OF enough. The guys is playing extremely well in CF. On a team with very questionable defense, having great CF and RF defense is a big help, especially in Fenway.
-
I'm not sure anything has been officially announced, but I think it might be a few more weeks, at least. Same with Marwin.
-
I'll be happy to see the Rays trade top prospects for an all-in one year window. It's a terrible strategy and one they have always avoided, for good reason. I also hope the Yanks are buyers not sellers- for the same reason.

2021 MLB draft
moonslav59 replied to jacksonianmarch's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Sign Hickey and call Fabian's bluff. If it's not a bluff, better luck, next year with the comp pick. -
Just say "NO!" to Rizzo. He's not worth what it will cost. I don't think Bloom will give what the Cubs demand. (I've been wrong many times before.)
-
They see a short window and grab for it. Maybe this is why they dealt Hill.
-
Why not rest Vaz at DH.
-
Rizzo will cost too much and is a rental. Bloom will not trade for him. Santana or Cron.
-
It’s no secret I’ve wanted Kike in CF since we signed him. Almost everyone thought 2B was better. That being said, I want Duran playing, so Kike at 2B is fine for the betterment of the team. Playing 1B seems extreme but I want Arroyo playing, too.
