    Sounds about right. He has way too much upside to cut loose, especially when one of our biggest needs is power. His decent OBP is a bonus.
  2. moonslav59
    I'm not sure this would happen, but the theory looks good. Pitchers often pitch to the park.
  3. moonslav59
    I accept the fact that the Sox will not spend the money as I suggest. I also doubt they trade any top prospects. I give my suggestions, anyway.
  4. moonslav59
    I do not think we spend large and long one 2 players, as well. I won't be surprised if we don't go L & L on anyone.
  5. moonslav59
    If they have $45M, they might be able to get Suarez for $14-5M AAV x 2-3 yrs- maybe $13-14M, if we go 3-4 yrs. I don't think Alonso gets much more than $30M AAV. We may have to go an extra year or lower the AAV with an option year with buyout, but I think we can get two for $45M. If we trade Duran for Losolo, we'll save $3.5M. We could also look to trade Hicks + $4M x 2 years and save $8M. If we trade Bello or Campbell, we'd save more AAV.

    If that happens, keeping Wong becomes less advantageous, but I still do not think upgrading our back-up catcher is a significant need. If something comes up, sure. It's a long winter, and Brez can work on multiple things and should look for an upgrade, but my thought is that so many teams want catching that the cost will likely be too high. If we can trade a bubble player or borderline Rule 5 guy, fine, but I'm not thinking we should give up a lot for a slight upgrade.
  7. moonslav59
    He got great results from the staff he caught- better than Narvaez got. There is something of value to continuity and comfort between catchers and the staff.
  8. moonslav59
    I'd be fine with some sort of upgrade, and just because I don't see it as a major need, doesn't mean we shouldn't do it. I think I'm more okay with Wong than others. I don't think his bat is as bad as it looked, this year. His defense and results with with pitchers improved a lot in 2025. I guess I'd have to see who we'd need to give up for a promising catcher. I also have seen many highly regarded catching prospects fizzle out and moderately considered prospects, like Narvaez, shine.
  9. moonslav59
    I think we may just add one more MiLB depth signing at catcher. We have bigger needs. Much bigger.
  10. moonslav59
    He will likely settle before the arb- maybe for around $1.5M. That's not much more than the min wage.
  11. moonslav59
    Not a big assumption when you see the state of catching depth in MLB.
  12. moonslav59
    They would trade Wong before letting him just go for nothing.
  13. moonslav59
    Tristan has had more proven success and wildly more upside potential. (More downside, too.)
  14. moonslav59
    That one win was more attributable to playing in an easier division. Strength of schedule: 5th Sox & 13th SEA.

    Trade suggestion: To PHI: Jarren Duran ($8M + 2 arbs) & Jordan Hicks ($12M x 2) plus $8M cash To MIN: Adrian Painter, K Campbell ($7.5M AAV), Dobbins & Sandlin To BOS: Joe Ryan (2 arbs at $6M + __M?)& Pablo Lopez ($21.8M x 2 but $18.4 tax hit) Cost to Sox: +$4M (+$1M tax line) Sign: E Suarez $14M x 3, J Polanco $14M x 3, Refsnyder $3M x 1 & S Matz $3.5M x 2 ____________________________ Crochet, Lopez, Ryan, Bello, Sandoval/Harrison/Crawford/ Early/ Tolle/Perales Chapman, Whitlock, Slaten, Weissert, Matz, Fitts, Bernardino, Murphy/Kelly/Guerrero/Wink/Criswell 1.

    Add Eduardo Rivera back into the SP'er mix at AA or AAA.
  17. moonslav59
    Sox re-sign Eduardo Rivera, who is Rule 5 eligible.... https://heavy.com/sports/mlb/boston-red-sox/eduardo-rivera-signed/?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Daily Heavy on Red Sox - Heavy Sports&utm_content=Daily Heavy on Red Sox - Heavy Sports+CID_0168952be2e69b80b9f6d22c7cb17db5&utm_source=Campaign Monitor&utm_term=Red Sox Sign 6-Foot-7 237-Pound Hard Throwing Lefty From Puerto Rico

    Go JAYS!!!
  19. moonslav59
    SEA had one more win than the Sox, and had we not used Buehler for 112 IP, we'd maybe have passed them.
  20. moonslav59
    We gave Buehler 112 IP.
  21. moonslav59
    No need to underthink this. Our 1B need, including depth far exceeds the need for Realmuto. Choose one from 4 choices... Bregman (3B) & E Suarez (1B/3B) E Suarez (3B) & Alonso (1B) Bichette (2B) & Alonso (1B) w Mayer going to 3B from 2B/SS. Bichette (2B) and E Suarez (1B/3B) Plus... Trade for a #2 SP. Anything less is status quo and a wasted of a window season.
  22. moonslav59
    Bellinger is worth more as an OF'er to another team than us as 1Bman. Even if we trade 2 OF'ers, I doubt we sign him.
  23. moonslav59
    Some say the extensions was that money, but not me. If we don't spend right up to the tax line, at minimum, the sham is continuing.
  24. moonslav59
    I doubt having Casas is preventing Alonso.
  25. moonslav59
    It's gets way worse if the stiff doesn't spend the Devers' money.
