MLB reports: Yankees, DJ LeMahieu Nearing Agreement
-
Yes, it would mean Springer vs Beni _____, + _____. -
I hated the signing from day one. CC had bad splits and 7 years was 3-4 years too long. (I remember calling him a "glorified platoon player" on that other blog.) Now, I never expected him to be THAT bad.
-
I don't know. Maybe a team is looking to sign Springer, and if they lose out, they have an agreement to trade for Beni, which then triggers Bloom making 2-3 other moves that he needs to wait on, until he knows he gets a certain player back for Beni.
-
I'm not very knowledgeable about IFAs: are you happy with the players we are signings, comparatively speaking?
-
I guess so. soxprospects.com has them listed the same way they list Tazawa. I'm not sure how they were different from Moncada.
-
I agree. There might be a wait for one shoe to drop. He might have a deal in place but are waiting for the other team to commit, and we have a contingency deal on the burner in case the first deal does not get done. The other team may be trying for something else first.
-
In many of our recent cases, they don't like the big FA busts in year one.
-
Maybe the inference is we are trading for an OF'er (two if we deal Beni).
-
So, Dice-K and Okajima are a separate category? How do they differ from Tazawa?
-
That's pretty close to the very minimum I expected on building up the pen, if not below.
-
I heard the robo umps will be dressed to look like gorillas.
-
I'm happy, too. Remember, Miami is paying $30M to the Yanks ($3M a year on the tax budget), so he's basically making what JD gets, but for 10 years.

Who Should the Sox Have Play 2B in 2020?
moonslav59 replied to mvp 78's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Since we need a CF'er (or back up CF'er) and a 2Bman, I think Hernandez on a 2-3 year deal is a great fit for us. If Downs moves up quicker than expected, he still can have a key role on the team. If we fill an OF slot somehow, he can still have a key role. If he becomes the next Brock Holt, that's important, too, especially on a team that fills one roster spot with a DH only player like JD. -
Who Should the Sox Have Play 2B in 2020?

Thinking about not thinking is an interesting concept. -
Let's say we get none of the top 2-3. Maybe the next best scenario would be to get two of the best 2nd tier RP'ers. If we don't get Hand, Rosenthal or Yates, what are the best 2 left?
-
I was thinking Yates, but if he's hurt, I amend my statement to top 2.
-
If we only get one, it better be one of the top 2-3 on your list. If Hand signs with the Mets, I go to DEFCOM 3.
-
We need to regain a foothold in the IFA market. We used to get some of our best talent, this way. It's been too long, now.
-
So, does that mean Chavis or Duran is our 4th OF'er? Is Renfroe really who we want in RF- full time? Maybe, it means we trade for 1 or 2.
-
Mine went from 1 to 2. There are still plenty of talented players available (FA & by trade). Maybe Bloom likes someone else more than A. Bradley.
-
Jacko has him below average.
-
$6M/1 This is the first significant deal I've seen where I wish Bloom had paid a little more to get him (if possible).
-
His 2013 season was as good as his 2008 and 2009 seasons with the Angels. Maybe not quite ace or even really close, but I still thought of him as an ace who had been pitching hurt. I'm not saying I was sure he'd pitch like an ace, just like I wasn't sure Schilling would due to his age.
-
Okay, I'll start saying Almora. Pillar will cost more than either- maybe as much as a decent RP'er would cost.
