I think we'd need to eat $6-8M PER YEAR, of his deal to just get a single A prospect for him. More likely, we might trade him for someone like Robbie Ray, who fits the Sox pitcher profile, perfectly. -
If Romero ends up at 2B, it would be fine, as maybe Campbell ends up in the OF, anyway.

March-April: We won 5 in a row, very early in the season and lost 4 straight, not too long afterwards. We won 7 out of 10 to end April. May: We lost 6 of 7 and went 4-11 in early May, then won 4 in a row, before losing 5 of 7 near the end of May. June: We won 4 in a row, once (and 6 of 7.) and lost 4 in a row, later. July: We won 5 straight from June 30-July 5 (and 7 of 8.) Later, we lost 3 in a row and 2 in a row, only once each, that month. August: We won 5 of 6 to end July and start AUG, and then the wheels came off. We lost 4 in a row, twice in AUG. The best we did after the start of AUG was a 4 of 6 stretch. We lost 5 in a row to end Aug and start Sept. We have just won 3 of 4, since. All-in-all, not many real long winning or losing stretches: Maybe these are the best and worst longer stretches... 12-19 since Aug 6th. 17-11 Mar 31 to May 1. 15-7 from May 31 to June 24.

I was just thinking a RHB, like you were with bringing O'Neill back, and I don't have any faith in Garver. He was just a money and roster spot part of the trade for SEA.
-
Devers back up to .900. O'Neill may pass him (.894) and passed him in HRs, tonight with his 28th and 29th. Ref jumped up to .836 with 2 dingers, a double and single. We now have 5 players in the top 30 in OPS (300+ PAs) .900 Devers .894 O'Neill .860 Duran .836 Refsnyder .831 Abreu
-
Just like that, we've won 3 of 4, and just about everyone we want to lose, lost. 79-66 KCR 76-68 MIN (13-19 since 8/5 and 1-5 in last 6) 73-71 BOS -3.0 GB (-5.5 from KCR) 73-71 DET & SEA We play a 3 game series vs MIN, soon.

That was fun to watch from start to finish!

How's this one: Trade: Marcelo Mayer (SS prospect,) Wilyer Abreu (Pre-Arb,) Yoshida DH ($18M x 3 plus $6M per 3 years) & David Sandlin (RHP prospect) For: Bryce Miller RHP (Pre-Arb,) Victor Robles OF (RHB at $3.5M '25, $4.5M '26 w $9M option & $500K buyout '27,) & Mitch Garver (RHB DH at $11.5M '25 w option at $12M w $1M buyout '26) _______________________________ Sign: Jack Flaherty, Danny Jansen & Paul Sewald _______________________________

Now, if the sample size is 300 PAs, it is 260 batters (almost 9 per team or a line-up x 30 teams.) 4 in top 1/9th: 14. Devers, 18. O'Neill, 20. Duran, 29. Abreu 1 in the second 9th: 56. Refsnyder 2 in the 3rd- 9th: 70. Yoshida, 71. Wong 164. DHam 187. Rafaela
-
If we bring the sample size down to 170 PAs, so we can include Casas and Romy, we get just over 370 MLB players, which is about 12 per team. Here is where out batters rank in OPS: 17. Devers .897 22. O'Neill .871 24. Duran .866 35. Abreu .830 66. Ref .791 84. Yoshida .776 85. Wong .774 88. Casas .772 90. Romy .770 That's 9 batters in the top third tier of 270 batters (9 per team) and top 25% of all batters with 170+ PAs (372.) Others: .706 D Smith #183 (top 50%) .697 DHam #195 (top 55%) .684 Rafaela #225 (top 60%) .669 E Valdez #245 (top 65%)
-
While I'm at it... Out until... TBD: Mata (any day, now) Mid Sept: Booser , Garica Late Sept: Sims (possibly DHam) 2025: Gio, Mayer, Whitlock, Fulmer, Murphy, I Campbell
-
This is why I hate signings like Hendriks (and Paxton a few years back.) His ETA was supposed to be around Aug 1-15, then Sept 1, now this... RHP Liam Hendriks on hold after 'speed hump' Hendriks, the former All-Star closer who's coming off Tommy John surgery, made six Minor League rehab appearances from Aug. 18-Sept. 5, but the Red Sox aren't sure when he will pitch again. Hendriks felt some tightness and didn't bounce back as well after that last Minors outing.
-
How about SIERA? (Takes the fielding away) 3.92 BOS & TBR 3.99 NYY & BAL 4.21 TOR ERA- has NYY 94, BOS 97, BAL 98, TBR 100, TOR 108 (park factor, defnse and strength of opp)
-
I think many felt it was a coin toss between Stroman and Gio, with some not liking both. At least Stroman ate some innings with mediocrity.

Great job, Bryce. I'm lovin' it! -

It's hard to sweep any team, but we should not have put ourselves in this position of need, beforehand.
-
The one year deal for Flaherty should have been on Brez's radar. I think once he chose Gio & O'Neill (via trade), the budget was all used up. In hindsight, the $25M AAV spent on those two could have almost gotten gotten us two of these guys: $16M x 2 Wacha $15M x 3 Lugo $14M x 1 Flaherty $13.25M x 4 Imanaga $14M x 2 Manaea Or, one plus.... $7.5M x 2 Fedde
-
It shouldn't cost much to get a slight upgrade on Gasper/Heineman, but if the rest or the 13 everyday players look like this, I can live with either one.
-
Maybe better than the last 2 months of Houck or before the first 3 months of 2024???
-
He is Chris Freakin' Sale, again!
-
Like the media couldn't talk to anyone else during that hour?
-
If we find a way to move Yoshida, without paying a huge chunk of his deal, I think we talk Ref into one more year- promising him he will DH vs all LHPs and some righties. Platoon Ref and Abreu at DH. 1. Duran LF 2. Campbell 2B 3. Casas 1B 4. Devers 3B 5. Abreu-Ref DH 6. Story SS 7. Anthony RF (Abreu) 8. Wong C 9. Rafaela CF (Anthony) Bench: Gasper or Heineman at C, DHam, Romy and Ref/Abreu/Rafaela (whoever is not starting)
-
And 6 HRs in 11 games! He was our first pick in '22, had some injuries and struggles, but maybe is coming into his own, now. Some of Bloom's head-scratcher moves are looking a little better over time. (Many are not or are already past the grading point.)
-
I cut him some slack. You can tell this losing stretch is killing him. It's hard to be perfect.
