Again, I'm talking about protecting 6 rule 5 guys from our system not drafting 6. Mata Groome Bazardo Potts Rosario Wong

Sox not listed as one of the 4 teams interested in Odorizzi.

Drew Smyly signs for $11M/1 with ATL.

Drew Smyly signs for $11M/1 with ATL!

No, I meant protecting 6 rule 5 players from our own system. (If we draft a rule 5 player, or two, they would be includes in the 6 additions we make this winter. There's room for 8-9 more, actually.)
-
I was going to say Aybar or Wilson (not both) and Chatham or Arauz (not both), so the list is really about 12. 6 Rule 5's 6 free agents or trade additions Even with all this, we may still have one of the weakest bottom 5 or 10 of 40 man rosters in MLB.

Why Weber before Brice, Hall, Stock, Springs and a few others?
-
Carlos who?

On the third point, I don't think Wong was part of the original deal, so Bloom felt Wong was needed to bring the total value up to what he felt a healthy Graterol was worth. Downs+Wong=healthy Graterol That hints at the feeling that Bloom did NOT value Downs as higher than Graterol- even a healthy one. Now, one could argue maybe Bloom had LA over a barrel and got them to throw in Wong, even though he may have taken just Downs.

I think we keep Weber and probably Mazza. So, assuming we protect Bazardo, along with Seabold, Wong, Mata, Potts, Rosario & Groome, we'll need to clear 3 slots. (We currently have 36 players on the 40 man roster.) 1. Bye bye Pedey. 2. Bye bye Brice 3. Bye bye Springs When we start adding free agents: 1. Hall 2. Stock 3. Walden 4. Aybar or Wilson 5. Chatham or Arauz 6. Hart, Mazza, Weber
-
Yes, my question was that during the prior negotiations, is there any indication of Bloom asking for Downs, first? I agree with what your point about Bloom thinking Downs was a higher value than a "broken" Graterol, but I think he wanted a healthy Graterol over Downs at the start. Did we get Wong as a sweatner for not getting a healthy Graterol,or was he part of the Graterol return to begin with?
-
Do you think Bloom originally asked for Downs or Graterol? Maybe he did ask for Downs, was turned down, then after the Graterol physical, he got LA to agree to Downs. Maybe Downs was plan B all along. Was Wong part of the original deal?
-
They haven't added a significant catcher since they apparently wanted Vaz earlier this year.
-
Good point. He's just not a priority to me.
-
I'm thinking a thread about prospects is generally going to be geared towards speculating on future possibilities.
-
It's also about money. They are saving a lot of money by replacing Springer with JBJ. Replacing him with Marisnik may not go over very well with their fans.
-
I like what I hear about Jimenez, but no, I haven't seen any Sox prospects play since I went to a game in Portland, 3 years ago. I'm no expert on prospects, but I think, when all is said and done, he ends up better than Duran.

Nothing really new, here... https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/11/latest-on-chris-sale-eduardo-rodriguez-2.html

Like many Sox moves, Ramon had one of his worst years with us. ERA/IP 2.64/72 2.84/70 2.99/69 4.46/42 with BOS 2.62/29
-
Beltre played more innings with the Sox than Iggy. Iggy's innings with the Sox '11-'12: 112 SS '13: 279 SS, 240 3B & 12 2B TOTAL: 743 innings Beltre put in 1343 innings in 2010 with the Sox- nearly double what Iggy gave us over 3 partial seasons.

We have plenty of room for a few more rule 5's.
-
So, his years of team control will go into his 30's and all of his prime years.
-
Bogey is a huge plus, despite his defense not helping his overall value (WAR). I may talk down his D, but I love the guy.
-
Crisp had a .720 OPS with us and a .729 career OPS. JBJ had a .732 OPS career. (.727 from 2017-2019) Reese was decent from 1999-2000 (.727), but he fell off the cliff afterwards (.627 2001-2004> retired).
