    We should look to trade all free-agents-to-be at the deadline: Workman, JBJ & Pillar. We may even look to trade (or extend) those with 1 year remaining after 2020: Barnes, ERod (extend), Hembree, Moreland & Perez.

    Sometimes, there can be a thin line. I'd kind of lean towards using DHern as the starter/opener, but I admit I'm no expert of the matter.

    I've suggested several trade to Matz and D. Smith. I even suggested one where we take Familai's contract to lessen the return needed. I'd give JBJ, Chavis and Houck for Matz, Smith & Marisnik.

    I read somewhere that other teams are adopting the start em slow philosophy.

    Sometimes arm injuries do heal.

    Good to see Eovaldi look good, today and all spring.

    Sale throws.... Chris Sale throws live BP session WWW.MLB.COM FORT MYERS, Fla. -- As the ball towered off the bat of Red Sox prospect Josh Ockimey and crashed off the netting beyond the right-field fence, ace Chris Sale dead-panned, “I guess we’ll end on that one.” Behind the batting cage, where just about the entire Boston pitching staff huddled

    With all due respect... hogwash.

    I'm thinking lower. Downs is our #1 or 2 and Wong is #12-20th.
  10. moonslav59
    I wonder what it would have been without Downs & Wong.
  11. moonslav59
    I agree. He has always been a fierce competitor, and this added incentive to show greatness can't hurt.
  12. moonslav59
    I can't believe it's March already. We are just weeks from opening day! Despite all our troubles and and high need areas, I'm excited about watching the Sox this coming year.

    MLBTR... Martin Perez was courted this offseason by both the Rays and Red Sox, ultimately signing with the Red Sox on a one-year, $6MM deal just before Christmas. Perez, a client of OL Baseball Group LLC, felt strongly about joining the Red Sox, even going so far as to tell his agent that even if the Rays offered more money, he preferred signing in Boston, per The Athletic’s Chad Jennings. Perez’s most recent body of work hardly suggest he’s worthy of a bidding war – bidding skirmish, say – but Jennings provides an insightful quote from Red Sox Chief Baseball Officer Chaim Bloom, who says of Perez, “Basically, we felt two things. One, the stuff and the underlying way in which he pitched deserved better results than he got. And two, that there were further tweaks we could help him make to his repertoire to make him even more effective.”

    I'd rather trade Chavis than Dalbec.

    My fingers still hurt hours after typing it.

    It would be more of a benefit to a team facing a tax.

    Trading Devers in not realistic. Take it to another thread, please.

    He is one of the top catching prospects in all of baseball, and catchers are hard to find. I realize his level makes him more of a gamble, but I'd roll the dice on him. (I also think Chavis looks like the next Middy, so it's just $3.8M a year for 3 years for a player that would be a top 3 prospect on this team. That is more than worth it, IMO.
  19. moonslav59
    Understandable, as every team values their good young pitchers. I'd love to see us get pitching, but I'd take Campusano with Myers & $30M. I'd even give them Chavis for that package.
  20. moonslav59
    What third team doesn't need a good, young pitcher?
  21. moonslav59
    I've never got any sense of that in the least.
  22. moonslav59
    I'd do it for Campusano or maybe Morejon + Weathers.

    1. I said he was a little bit of a letdown, and I prefaced it with the context of me thinking he'd hit 50 HRs. Of course, I realize my expectations were too high, but that doesn't make me a dum dum. "Let down" does not mean he sucked. 2. He was here for more than just 1 year, and I don't think I'm a dum dum for not basing anything on just one season. Here are the number for his last 2 years with SD and his next 2 years in Boston: .930 (1374 PAs) SD .883 (1399 PAs) BOS & LAD 3. He was 29 his first year in BOS- that's super prime. It's not unreasonable to expect improvement.

    If you look at Bonds's body shape early in his career, you can guess he was not on steroids, then.
  25. moonslav59
    We did with Julio Lugo, too. (As softy used to say, "He was our wire to wire SS...")
