    With all the talk of how many, if any, of the big three prospects break camp with the big club (added to the 40 and 26,) it's interesting to see discussion about Thompson and or Eaton being added, instead or maybe with 1 or two. I see two openings by way of adding Murphy and Perales to the 60 Day IL. I doubt Crawford or Bello will need 60 days, now will Yoshida and Abreu. Other DFA candidates might be Sogard. We could DFA Sabol, but would have to have a plan to DFA someone else, if we ever needed to add a catcher, quickly due to an injury to Wong or Narvaez.

    We have two easy 60 Day IL guys, too- Murphy & Perales. No need for DFA's just yet.

    There is still enough time in ST'ing for Priester or Criswell to pass Fitts, but I agree, for now, Fitts should be the guy. soxprospects.com agrees... https://www.soxprospects.com/2025.htm

    If you go with 55, then why not 110?

    If Abreu starts the year on the 10 Day IL, I could see them adding Thompson while they add someone else to the 60 Day IL. (Murphy or Perales?) Maybe DFA Sogard or a pitcher? I was wrong to dismiss Thompson's chances, so quickly. He may still not make it, but maybe he does. I do see two roster slots easily opened with the two pending 60 Day ILs. For all we know, maybe Crawford or Bello ends up on the 60.

    Crochet sets Opening Day deadline for extension talks. Gerrit Cole has been recommended for TJS and will get a second opinion.
  7. moonslav59
    Well, with the impending lock-out, I'm not very optimistic he gets the same deal. I just said "He could." I think he might have a monster year in 2024. That's about the major thing that could make it happen, IMO. I'm not predicting it or saying it is likely..

    Anthony is not on the 40, now. Of course, he can be viewed as competition to win a slot, but unless Thompson wins a slot, hw might end up being a non 40 man roster in AAA. I'm not sure how it works for NRI who don't make it, maybe some other team swoops in and nabs him.
  9. moonslav59
    No and likely won’t be.
  10. moonslav59
    I could see Bregman signing a very similar deal to the Tigers one, this coming winter, and he’d be making more by doing what he did this winter.
  11. moonslav59
    Who is out, besides Bello & Crawford?
  12. moonslav59
    But hey, we got Roland the Headless THOMPSON Gunner, TORO, TORO, TORO and EATON disorders.
  13. moonslav59
    Combined, the three are 19 for 65 (.292) with 8 HRs and 15 XBHs and 22 RBIs.
  14. moonslav59
    Sox have scored in all 8 innings, including crooked numbers in 5 of them.
  15. moonslav59
    The NRI's Toro, Thompson and Eaton are really putting on a show, so far this spring.
  16. moonslav59
    Story has gone so long without an extended "groove," I'm thinking this is helpful.
  17. moonslav59
    It looks like bello & Crawford will start the season on the IL, so the glove Fitts Richard.
  18. moonslav59
    Good point!
  19. moonslav59
    Good to see Story Time showing signs of changing his genre from Fantasy and Dystopian to Thrillers & Suspense.
  20. moonslav59
    They did only get 9 GS from their ace (Sale,) but yes, they mostly used just 5 SP'ers (all with 22+ GS) Houck got 13, Sale 9, Peacock, Seabold and Crawford 1 each. (Richards was demoted to the pen.)
  21. moonslav59
    Uehara has some very nice seasons right before BOS got him. They knew they got a good RP'er, but yes, nobody expected THAT GOOD!
  22. moonslav59
    Agreed. Money now can be invested and create way more money for later, but when you look at how many athletes that made a lot of money, but are now broke, maybe they wish they has deferred money in their contracts.
  23. moonslav59
    I usually say $95M/3. others say $31.7 x 3, or $31.7 AAV x 3. That being said, he will still get the deferred money. $20M a year is deferred until 2035 to 2046. I understand how and why they count the deferred money differently, but he still gets it.
  24. moonslav59
    Word is, the final Jays offer to Vladdy was under $600M, so that gives us some sort of idea what he might be asking for. (Note: he may not even get what the Jays offered. It may depend on how he does in '25. He'll also be a year older.)

    On Abreu.... https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/03/wilyer-abreu-red-sox-opening-day-virus-illness.html
