  1. 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.)
  2. They are not the same, but patience may be needed for Slaten, too.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. I still think Suarez will turn it around, but he seems more questionable now, than 2 weeks ago.
  6. 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.
  7. Yoshida was the secondary aspect of the trade an OF'er for an IF'er. It didn't have to be Duran.
  8. Adonys Guzman write up: https://news.soxprospects.com/2026/04/adonys-guzman-plans-to-impact-games.html
  9. This Friday, we will see a once in a lifetime occurrence: an Early - May game in the middle of April! Pitching match-up: Early vs May
  10. That was a nice win. Taking a series vs a team like MIL is a good sign. Day off tomorrow and then it's a rare Early-May game in the middle of April, this Friday. Conner Early vs Dustin May
  11. His 1, 2 and 3 year sample sizes, ranked him as a #1-2 SP'er using some stats and metrics or a #2-3 using others. At his age, nothing was a sure bet on what to expect, this year, but he's looked pretty good, so far. The way Suarez has looked, I'm glad we added Gray. We've already lost Oviedo and are looking for Crawford or Sandoval to get past their rehabs, quickly. Early has done a fine job filling in, and may keep his slot indefinitely.
  12. Exactly, and this was my whole point of suggesting we trade an OF'er for an infielder. Sitting an OF'er was a waste of talent, plus the "drop off" from ____ to Yoshida at DH, while real, was not as great as the "gain" we could have made at 2B, 3B or even SS, if we had the ballz to move Story to 2B.
  13. The thing is, if the umps wore earpieces that told them the call, we would not even notice a change.
  14. The thing about Rivera's pitch was that it was just about all he threw. Batters new what was coming and still could not hit it. .211 BA Against .262 OBP Against .293 SLG against .555 OPS Against 2.21 ERA
  15. It was his own error, but they are still unearned.
  16. Does he have more than one opt out?
  17. MLBTR's top 10 FA for next season: Skubal Peralta Bichette Chisholm Trevor Rogers M King Varsho Imai Arozarena Susuki Others: Woodruff, Imanaga, Gausman, Bednar, G Torres, B Lowe, T Ward, Pivetta, Singer, Bubic, Bieber, Grisham, Mize...
