    We are not only worse, it's not close. We can't even be the same. We need to get BETTER.
  2. moonslav59
    If we are to just get one positional player add, I'd choose Marte, but having to give something else up makes getting Alonso, Schwarber or even Polanco/Suarez more of an overall net plus. If we give up Duran or Campbell, then KMarte's cost will be near $12M, which may allow for another add like Suarez or Merrill Kelly.
  3. moonslav59
    I'd make it a minivan and add Crawford.
  4. moonslav59
    One way to not spend so much is by trades.
  5. moonslav59
    No way I say yes to that, but I dont hang up. I say Bello OR Early and you can have Crawford or Dobbins instead.
  6. moonslav59
    I think they will want Tolle or Early and deserve one. I'm not sure 3 from Bello, Crawford, Dobbins, Harrison, Oviedo, Perales get it done. Maybe Campbell plus 2 from Crawford, Dobbins, Harrison, Oviedo, Perales? Not sure they want Arias or anyone else, instead, but that could be an option.
  7. moonslav59
    Saw somewhere a suggest trade: Duran, Tolle & Paez for Hunter Greene 4 years of control: I have to say YES! ($8.3M AAV) 26:$8M, 27:$15M, 28:$16M, 29:$21M club option ($2M buyout) We could afford to sign a big bat or trade Campbell & pitching depth for KMarte. What a rotation! Crochet, Greene, Gray, Bello, whoever is left from Oviedo/Sandoval/Harrison/Crawford/Early/Dobbins

    I'm not so sure these guys are all going where everyone assumes they are. DD may love Schwarber, but I'm sure he likes other shiny objects, too, and some may cost less or fill a more important role than DH. It does seem like the Cubs want Bregman, but don't count them out on Tucker. Also, if they have that much cash, maybe someone else fits their needs better. TOR seems in on Tucker heavily, but then maybe Bichette goes to team we thought Breggie was going. Lots of moving parts. Maybe it just takes one domino, and they all come tumbling down.
  9. moonslav59
    He did?
  10. moonslav59
    If our budget is $18-22M, yes. Maybe Suarez?
  11. moonslav59
    He might get a chance, He's probably better than Uberhan and Drohstine.
  12. moonslav59
    If we don't get Alonso, I think we go with Polanco (Mayer 3B/Casas 1B w Romy helping out.) Maybe K Marte is just a dream.
  13. moonslav59
    Maybe. I think we have too many SP'ers better than he is, who will be in the pen first.
  14. moonslav59
    Everyone but the Sox can outbid Cohen?
  15. moonslav59
    Because he likes him and plans on being around long enough to see him come through? He might be in the AAA pen to start the year and be a mid season callup, I guess. They'd probably DFA Uberstine or Drohan ahead of him. Guzman is even farther away.
  16. moonslav59
    I think the Mets would rather sign Bregman to 4 or 5 years than Alonso for 4. Maybe the same for Bichette. Hell, Schwarber might get just 3-4 years. We may be the only team offering the 1Bman 4 years. (The guy is really a DH disguising himself as a 1Bman.)
  17. moonslav59
    I still don't get why that gets to much attention from you. I wanted them to extend Devers, just like I did with Betts, Sale and others. We finally did it. How is that related to what happened this year?
  18. moonslav59
    He'll probably be placed in AA- maybe AAA.
  19. moonslav59
    That was a rip-off. Nothing changed between the two, plus ND was ahead of ALA who lost big! Tulane & James Madison? What a joke!
  20. moonslav59
    I don't think Bregman is Brez's top priority. He was happy to get him on a 1 year deal, but now I think he's looking at Alonso first. Maybe he lowers the AAV by offering one more year than anyone else, but that does seem counter to everything the Sox have stood for since the Sale & Nate signings. (Okay, we had Story replacing Bogey and Masas replacing JD, but that's it for 7 years!)
  21. moonslav59
    These guys are likely high-fiving the fact that they got two TOTR starters for $23M total (21 Gray + 2 Oviedo.) They convinced themselves Casas will get 650 PAs and hit 35 bombs. They see Anthony as a top 3 MVP vote getter in 2025 and expect Mayer to bust out and hit over .800. They think 14 Sp'ers equals 5 great ones. They think 2B is not worthy of any sense of decency. They have some serious holes to fill. The good thing is there are only 2-3 major holes. The problem is, they just see one or two minor tweaks needed.
  22. moonslav59
    They could be happy he's gone, toasting with champagne and cashing in their Xmas bonus checks with the Devers money saved.
  23. moonslav59
    He is a top 10 or 20 prospect in almost every ranking, but he far from a sure bet TOTR starter, and even if he is, it might take 2-3 years to get there. Our window started this year, and we blew one year already. Now, we have 2 years with Duran, Chapman, and Masa, 1 to 2 years with Gray and 1 year with Whitlock. We may be able to extend the window beyond 2 years, but our brightest years seem to look like 2026 and 2027, but only if we add players that will be bih helps NOW!
  24. moonslav59
    Right now, with no Devers, no Breggie, no Refsnyder and no Lowe, our 2026 looks like this: 1. L Anthony LF 2. L Duran DH 3. R Story SS 4. L Abreu RF (FT)/ Maybe Masa at DH w an OF shuffle 5. L Casas 1B 6. R Romy 2B/ L DHam 2B 7. L Mayer 3B/R Romy 3B 8. R Narvaez C 9. R Rafaela CF Bench: Wong, Masa, Romy/DHam & _____ (Campbell, Sogard, Eaton) SP: Crochet, Gray, Bello, Oviedo, Sandoval RP: Chapman, Whitlock, Slaten, Weissert, Crawford, Harrison, Dobbins, Hicks
  25. moonslav59
    I'd like to keep Duran, too. I'm not sure how well his speed "ages," and for some reason he seemed to reduce his SB attempts, this year. I've been open to trading Rafaela or Abreu, instead, and I'm okay with Anthony in RF or Duran/Anthony in CF. Having Campbell and Masa as LF options is enough depth to give me comfort. I'd be fine bringing Ref back for one more year, if we trade an OF'er. I do think two from Crawford, Harrison, Perales & Dobbins added to 1 OF'er is a big enough package to bring back a key piece at SP2, 3B or 2B. If we can fill one other slot w a FA, I'm fine with Mayer/Romy/Casas filling one infield slot to start the year. To get someone much better, we'll have to add Early or Tolle, but even then, it would mean keeping one more from the 4 listed above, so we should still be okay with SP'er depth and future outlook.
