    That's what I've thought all along. The total picture of the Yanks vs Sox pens is not only that the Sox have lost CK & JK, it is this... The Yanks lose Robertson and gain Kahnle & Britton for a full season. The Sox lose CK & JK and gain Brasier and Thornburg (and maybe Wright/Johnson/Velazquez to the pen) for a full season (and Poyner, if needed).
  2. moonslav59
    Agreed. Tulo is still in the plans, at least and until Didi returns.
  3. moonslav59
    The Yanks pen is better than ours, but it might be worse than 2018 due to the loss of Robertson. They are worse than us in other areas. We are not done with our pen.
  4. moonslav59
    Just signed... shortstop Xander Bogaerts ($12MM) and outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. ($8.55MM) have agreed to big salaries.

    I think 3 is most likely with 2 as an insurance policy.
  7. moonslav59
    Or, Bird/Voit, or they move Andujar to DH.
  8. moonslav59
    The Red Sox have agreed to a $2.475MM salary with catcher Sandy Leon, according to Alex Speier of the Boston Globe (Twitter links). Lefty Eduardo Rodriguez, meanwhile, is slated to earn $4.3MM.

    I was hoping the Yanks got Machado, and his contract strangled them for a decade,

    "Weakness" vs weakest area on a team are not the same thing. We had the 9th best pen fWAR in MLB last year and were just 0.2 from 7th best. Being top tier (out of 3 tiers) is not a weakness. One could argue our weakness was Catcher offense, 2B everything & 3B defense.
  11. moonslav59
    Sure seems to work that way, but how many stories are told, if true,of players losing a ton but still have $20M remaining. It's not a story, so it is never told.
  12. moonslav59
    Brandon Workman and the Red Sox settled at $1.15MM, tweets Alex Speier of the Boston Globe. The second-time-eligible righty is controlled through the 2020 campaign and had been projected at $1.4MM. The Red Sox and Blake Swihart settled on a one-year deal worth $910K, tweets Murray. That checks in south of his $1.1MM projection. As a Super Two player who’s arbitration-eligible for the first time, Swihart will be arb-eligible three more times and is controlled through 2022.

    Yanks get DJ LeMahieu at $24M/2. Does this mean no Machado?
  14. moonslav59
    Wonder how the odds look after the Yanks get Machado and the Dodger get Harper.
  15. moonslav59
    My top 10 for the day.... 1. D Hernandez 2. B. Mata 3. D Feltman 4. T Casas 5. J Groome 6. B Dalbec 7. A Flores 8. T Lakins 9. M Chavis (to be traded) 10. D Diaz
  16. moonslav59
    They could use one big boost.
  17. moonslav59
    Maybe he's waiting out one option before pulling the trigger on a trade.
  18. moonslav59
    Red Sox reliever Heath Hembree will receive a $1,312,500 salary next year, Alex Speier of the Boston Globe reports (Twitter link). Starter Steven Wright checks in just a shade higher, at $1.375MM, per Nightengale (via Twitter). Both players had projected in this range, with Swartz pegging $1.2MM for the former and $1.4MM for the latter. It’s Hembree’s first time through the process and Wright’s second. -MLBTR

    Just to divert the conversation to something actually about baseball: Steamer 2019 Projections Severino: 4.5 WAR Paxton: 4.0 WAR Tanaka: 2.6 WAR Happ: 2.8 WAR CC: 1.2 WAR Gray/German/Lasagna: 1.2 WAR 16.3 Total for SPs Sale: 6.1 WAR Price: 3.1 WAR Eovaldi: 2.7 WAR Porcello: 2.6 WAR ERod: 1.9 WAR Velazquez/Wright/Johnson: 0.3 WAR 16.7 Total WAR for SPs Don't show this to Jacko or BillyBabe!

    Would you be shocked if he traded more prospects for a low-cost solid closer, instead?
  21. moonslav59
    I hope the Yanks get Machado, too. Then, when we bear their asses it will be even more sweeter.
  22. moonslav59
    It really could be, if they just lost $200M on a bad investment, Having $20M left vs 0 is huge.
  23. moonslav59
    They "quietly" won 90 games this year, despite playing the Sox and Yanks in over 20% of their games.
  24. moonslav59
    Maybe they need to try and play better but not great teams of get themselves into a legit conference. Word is there is going to be a big conference shake up at some point- probably not this winter.
  25. moonslav59
    Who cares what anybody calls it? I know it's a slow time of the year, but this is pretty bad.
