    You think his stock is as high as it will ever be?
  2. moonslav59
    Apples to oranges. I'm thrilled the Yankees' management has not changed.
  3. moonslav59
    We'll see when these guys come back, hopefully in April, who might be moved to the pen or demoted to AAA.
  4. moonslav59
    Ref and Bregman are the only two everyday players with less than 3 years of control. Hell, Yoshida is crowded out of a spot on the 26, already. (I think he gets 20 days in rehab after the IL stint, then what?) I think some trades will be made- maybe this summer (Abreu or Story?)
  5. moonslav59
    I wonder if any team would be interested in Story, assuming we pay some cash or take back a big contract to balance the cost out. Notin mentioned a Story for Murphy trade, a while back. That would greatly improve our catching while giving mayer and instant shot at the SS job. The problem is what if he struggles? We owe Story something like $77M/3, and Murphy is owed $60M/4. His tax hit is just $12.2 a year, which is half Story's. How about Story + $6M a year and Wong for Murphy?

    Boone is the best thing to happen to the Sox since, well... Cashman.
  7. moonslav59
    A nice list. I might add the Garcia brothers, but am not sure who moves down. Perales, Bleis, Cespedes and Dobbins are the top 10 prospects not on the list.
  8. moonslav59
    I think this might be the year, the Yanks finish below .500. They are old and hobbled. Goldschmidt is 37, LeMahieu 36, Stanton 35 and Judge 33. These are not their bench guys, like Ref is for us. Stanton has two injuries, already. Carrasco is 38. Cole is 34 and out for the year. Stroman is 34, and they could not dump him off on anyone. Gil is out for most or all of '25. Fried and Rodon are 31 and 32. I'm thinking they may have more injuries, as the year goes on.
  9. moonslav59
    I'd still like to see how Devers would compare to Casas at 1B defense... someday. Maybe, next year.
  10. moonslav59
    Here are a couple questions: 1. What batting slot will Campbell have in August? 2. If he plays mostly 2B, where will he end up ranked out of the 30 2Bmen with the most innings at 2B? (I wanna say 2nd for Q1, but I'm going with 5th. I'm going to guess 14th on D.)
  11. moonslav59
    Let's hope Campbell's hot time in Mexico carries over to the start of the season. I can't believe we are so close to opening day!
  12. moonslav59
    That's how I see it. While I do think a chance exists for his stock to rise back up, a little bit, I doubt he ever gets much higher. He's so far down on the depth chart, and we have some very nice looking middle IF prospects on the rise, I'd do it. The only slot I see him having a shot at is 3B, once Bregman bolts, and I doubt he can ever hit well enough to be a plus 3Bman, anyway.
  13. moonslav59
    I might do this trade. It's Arias that hurts the most. I'm not sure MIA wants Romero & Arias, but maybe sub Bleis for Valera, but then again, not they get 2 OF'ers. How about Abreu, Bleis, Cespedes, Perales and Mullins or Monegro?
  14. moonslav59
    Not bold. The AL sucks, this year. SEA might be the second best team in the AL, behind BOS. That's how bad it is!
  15. moonslav59
    LOL!
  16. moonslav59
    I don't.
  17. moonslav59
    The path is Story to the IL. Another could be Campbell to LF & trade Abreu, but we also have Anthony looking for a path (Rafaela to utility?) I doubt we trade Story.
  18. moonslav59
    YA-Nooooo.
  19. moonslav59
    I guess we could use another AAA pitcher.
  20. moonslav59
    The league has changed, but the guys I listed were not 34, when we got them. We knew they would likely regress, but they were durable and younger than 30. I'd have taken Cole, Wheeler, Berrios and suggested about 10 trades for Castillo. I'd have taken Burnes (757 in last 5- 3rd in MLB) Cease (4th in IP since 2021) Gilbert, Pablo Lopez and fried (12th in IP since '21) Maybe these guys aren't like those from years past, but they are about as dependable as there is, today. We don't get guys like them. That's my point. We haven't since the Porcello and Sale trades and the Price signing.
  21. moonslav59
    I think he might take $140M/5. I think I'd do that, and cross my fingers.
  22. moonslav59
    Remember when we add guys like this.... Lackey almost 1400 IP in his previous 7 seasons. Price 1300 IP in 6 previous years. Sale 1016 IP in previous 5 seasons. Porcello 1073 in his first 6 MLB seasons. Of course, we signed some guys with much fewer recent workloads, but when id the last time we added a durable pitcher? (Gio had 524 IP in 3 seasons- NOPE!)
  23. moonslav59
    $150/5 would be adding 3 years, at about $38-40M a year, assuming he'd het $30-35M for his 2 arb years, combined.

    Jovani Moran joins Perales, Noah Song, Brandon Neely and others on the MiLB 60 Day IL. Sandoval, Murphy and Penrod are listed on the soxprospects.com MLB 60 Day IL list on the 2025 Roster page, but not on the 40 Man Roster page.
