That pretty much says it all.
-
Longhi is not a pitcher.
-
Wasn't that $36M/3 for Santana? I'd offer more.
-
A few ex-Sox prospects around the league were added to the 40-man rosters of their respective teams as well. Mauricio Dubon (Brewers), Luis Alexander Basabe (White Sox), and Gerson Bautista (Mets) were all protected ahead of the Rule 5 draft. Nick Longhi was considered likely to be added by the Cincinnati Reds before suffering an elbow injury that required Tommy John surgery in August.

He's the best baseball GM of all time.
-
Works for me.
-
I get that, but also, a GM should leave the team in an equal or better position than when he came in, or it should or can be used against him..
-
I totally agree, and if you look at all the moves, signings and draft picks starting after the Nomar trade back in 2004, one could argue it looked like a net negative on paper (not win-loss records- just how his deals worked out). That was a long period of time.
-
Yes, in hindsight the trade looks awful, and ultimately- right or wrong- GMs are judged in hindsight. Yes, he has take several risks, especially with trading away so many prospects and signing Price to a 7 year deal. I'm hopeful Thornburg can give us some plus next year.
-
Not according to King 700
-
You're looking at the 2017 Shaw not the 2016 Shaw. You ignore Shaw's history: 7 of his previous 12 half-seasons were sub par.
-
Look! Neither Kimmi nor I brought it up.
-
Plus Abreu will make $17M+ this year and more in 2019.
-
That looks like a possibility, but if the plan is to play JD in LF, I'd trade JBJ for a pitcher and sign Santana or maybe Morrison or Duda to play 1B or DH.
-
The sample size of Sale with Vaz was tiny. The numbers on Porcello are mixed over 2016 and 2017, but yes, Leon had better numbers. (Again, some sample sizes were small.)
-
What? The 2014 wrist injury that fully healed by 2015?
-

Shaw and others were not "given away for free." We got Thornburg in return. His injury was unfortunate but not foreseeable. His 2.0 WAR in 2016 was the 12th best among all MLB RP'ers. (Kimbrel was 31st at 1.2) Thornburg also had a better xFIP than Kimbel in 2016. His 0.94 WHIP was 14th best in MLN.
-
Let's see what the odds are after everyone is finished adding to their rosters.
-
They also must like Beni & Betts better than JBJ, which is totally understandable.
-
He's got 3 years of arb salaries left. There's no need to trade him now, unless we are looking to sign JD Martinez, and JD does not want to DH.
-
Trading anything for machado makes little sense, unless he agrees to an extension as part of the deal.
-
True. That is often the worst part.
-
I like Abreu slightly more than Santana, but losing JBJ does not make up that difference.
-
Agreed, assuming all of this is accurate. What an awful thing to happen- just at a time when we were really counting on Steven. I hope his wife is okay.
