Well, my trade of Duran was in exchange for an OF prospect with more than 3 times Duran's value. On Vaz, he has 2 years of team control, and I think he is over-rated. I seem to be nearly all alone with that opinion.
-
I was assuming LA would pay enough of his contract that would make it worth it, and us not giving them anything we'd miss. I'm not for getting him back. I was thrilled we dumped him and only had to pay half.

The Red Sox have interest in reuniting with corner infielder Travis Shaw and right-handed reliever Brandon Workman, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com and Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com report. Shaw was last with the Red Sox in 2016, after which they traded him to the Brewers. He was a member of the Blue Jays in 2020, and though Shaw was a solid hitter earlier in his career, he has been less productive of late. The 30-year-old slashed .239/.306/.411 in 180 plate appearances with the Blue Jays last season. As for Workman, he has spent most of his career with the Red Sox, but they dealt him to the Phillies prior to last year’s trade deadline. Workman was excellent at times in Boston bullpen in parts of 2013-19, but he could only muster a 5.95 ERA in 19 2/3 innings between the two clubs a year ago.

20 Largest Contracts in MLB History

It would be interesting to get him back, somehow, hopefully with LA paying part of his contract, despite us already paying them half of it. If we are going to take on salary fro LA, and I'm assuming we get something more to offset the financial dump aspect of the trade, I'd want AJ Pollock- not Price. Would you trade Beni to LA for Price, Pollock and $26M?
-
I know that is the apparent line-up, as of now, but instead of looking for a CF'er to align our OF to a better defensive make-up. We could sign Schoop and improve our defense at 2B, CF and RF (slightly LF, too) with one inexpensive signing by moving EHern to CF. On defense: 2B: Schoop> EHern CF: EHern> Verdugo RF: Verdugo> Renfroe LF: Renfroe/Beni platoon> FT Beni (The LF platoon also improves our LF offense.) We could still have EHern play 2B a few times, if needed, and maybe sign a cheap 5th OF'er like Marisnick. How much more will Schoop cost vs Pillar?
-
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I feel Hernandez is a much better defender in CF that at 2B, so I'd prfer to see us sign a 2Bman over a CF'er. So, do we go over the tax line to sign Kolten Wong or maybe stay under by signing Schoop? Or, do we sign Colome and just let 2B and CF ride? (Maybe add Marisnick for very cheap) Or, do we sign Pillar and go with Hernandez at 2B? I'm not sure we can squeeze Moreland into this equation, unless we are okay going over the line. Anyway, to me, our biggest 3 needs are Closer, CF or 2B and SP.
-
A while ago, I proposed this very type trade on BTV, but of course, mine always turn into blockbusters. Vaz, Beni, Pivetta & Cellucci for Adams, Sandoval & Stassi I also proposed Beni, Chavis and Yorke for Adams. Here's one I just posted: Vaz, Beni, Duran & Chavis for Marsh & Stassi.
-
Gregorius to Phillies at $24M/2.
-
Eddie Rosario $8M/1 to the Guardians.
-
Arenado + $50M to the Cards.
-
He won't get too much, and he was pretty good before 2019.
-
Good news. At worst, this is a sign they know the pen needs more help.

German & Adams

I guess I'd be ok with signing someone like Romo, if we are trying to re-set and we need the money for Schoop or Pillar, but I'd rather have Colome, if we can just sign one from Colome, Pillar, Schoop or Moreland+Marisnick.
-
I hope the fact the Brice is out of options isn't holding Bloom from further action! LOL!
-
Well, I feel we need a closer, so I'd put Colome and Rosenthal way above him. I'm not sure who else I'd trust as a closer more than Ottavino/Barnes. I think Melancon is one of the best set-up men still available, but I'm no expert on the guys you listed.
-
According to fangraph's projected 2021 team positional WAR, here are our rankings by position: 3. DH 5. Catcher 7. SS 8. 3B 9. CF (They have Verdugo in CF) 12. SP 13. RP 14. LF 16. 2B 17. RF (Renfroe in RF) 22. 1B 9th Pitching 10th Batting
-
That, of course, is the biggest concern, especially at his age. Plus, he's a fine defensive 1Bman, so there should be better ideas.
-
With winter moves not finished, here is where we currently rank in projected AL team WAR: 51.3 NYY 42.9 TOR 41.2 HOU 40.4 MN 38.4 CWS 38.4 LAA 37.0 BOS 36.7 OAK 34.0 TBR 5 teams make the playoffs, normally, and we are ranked 7th- just 1.4 from LAA and 2.5 from CWS. If we sign Colome, that will close the gap a bit. If we also sign Schoop or Pillar, we may tie or pass both. If we sign Odorizzi and Colome, we will likely be ranked 5th, assuming the other two teams do not add much.
-
LOL. A hundred teams made the playoffs, last year. When was the last time both WC teams came from the same division? Actually, fairly often... 2017 NL West (AZ & COL) 2016 AL East (TOR & Yes! BAL!) 2015 NL Central (PIT & Cubs) 2013 NL Central (PIT & CIN)
-
It looks like Joc Pederson got $7M/1 with $500K in incentives. I don't think this affects the value GMs are placing on Beni. Also, Matt Moore to PHI for $3M + incentives.
-
I'm not saying this is the best idea, but Mitch Moreland can play LF and he hits righties very well. Could he be signed as insurance for Dalbec/Chavis at 1B but also as a LF platoon, assuming Beni is traded or playing CF or RF vs RHPs while Renfroe sits?
