    Teams often say that, days before a trade, but there are other pitchers out there.

    I agree, and as much as I'd like to keep Casas, since he is our best lefty bat vs LHPs, I can't see us playing Yoshida in LF, so Casas can share DH duty with Devers. Casas should also help us get a very good pitcher, without giving up a top 5 prospect. Maybe Casas, Abreu & Fitts for ______.

    ...and it took 4 additions to get there: Fried, Crochet, Hoffman & Chapman. (I'm counting Wilson as depth.)

    I've pretty much moved on fro Soto. The only way he comes to BOS, id if he takes less, and maybe the taxes and cost of living factor in. We aren't signing Fried and Burnes, and as much as I am leery of signing Bregman. I think we could salvage the winter by signing Fried, Bregman, Hoffman and Carson Kelly, then trade for another quality SP (Lopez, Crochet...) I'd like to keep Casas, but moving Devers to 1B/DH and Casas to DH/1B squeezes Yoshida to LF, the bench of a complete salary dump trade. (I doubt that can be pulled off, at least this winter.)

    Ole Miss is 9-3, too. They beat GA and killed So Carolina 27-3. I do think both teams, maybe even 9-3 Missouri are better than SMU and MIA, but records should count, and losing 3 games is not good. MIA lost to GA Tech, same as GA, but that loss to SYR hurt. SMU makes the playoffs, if they didn't have to play a conference game (like AL, MIA and Ole Miss & others.) Their only loss before that nail-biter, last night was to an 11-2 BYU team, who could argue they belong over ALA. This playoff system sure generated some late season buzz, and it's better to be arguing over who is better, a #11 and #12 teams vs a #13 and #14 team than leaving out a #2, 3 or 4 team.

    As much as I was getting pumped up on the idea of Soto on the Sox, I'm thinking that we know JH will get cheap, again, at some point, so $700M+ would likely put a lot of pressure on our farm to fill many slots for min wage.
  7. moonslav59
    Wow, $21M to BorA$$!

    Word is out, the Sox may be shopping Casas. (I'm guessing for Crochet?) We also tried to get Bieber, and word was he took less to play with CLE. We may have been in on Holmes, who may or may not have been used as a SP'er. I'm wondering if plan B is this, assuming we lose out on Soto: Sign Bregman, Fried, Hoffman and Carson Kelly Trade: Casas, Rafaela & Fitts for Crochet SP: Fried, Crochet, Houck, Giolito, Bello RP: Chapman, Hoffman, Hendriks, Slaten, Whitlock, Crawford, Winckoski, Wilson 1. Duran LF/CF 2. Bregman 3B 3. Devers 1B 4. Story SS 5. Yoshida/ Refsnyder DH platoon 6. Anthony CF 7. Abreu RF/Campbell RF/2B (Abreu-Grissom platoon) 8. Campbell 2B/Grissom 2B 9. Wong/Kelly C Utility: DHam

    Close call, but I think Boise St gets the #3 slot and AZ St gets the #4 slot (bye) over Clemson. Here would be my rankings: 1. Oregon 13-0 2. Georgia 11-2 3. Boise St 12-1 4. AZ St 11-2 ______________________ 5. Notre Dame 11-1 vs 12. SMU 11-2 (They may pick 9-3 Alabama) 6. Texas 11-2 vs 11. Clemson 11-2 7. Penn St 11-2 vs 10. Indiana 11-1 8. Ohio St. 10-2 vs Tennessee 10-2 ________________________ 13. Alabama 9-3 14. Miami 10-2 15. Ole Miss 9-3 16. So Carolina 9-3 17. BYU 11-2 18. Missouri 9-3 19. Army 12-1 20. Memphis 10-2 (Illinois & Syracuse 9-3)

    It's all on Soto's choice. If we don't spend on him or others, Sox Nation will erupt!
  11. moonslav59
    He's 32.
  12. moonslav59
    Carson Kelly should be affordable, especially if our $690M Soto offer is turned down.
  13. moonslav59
    Fried + Burnes will be cheaper than just Soto. Even the AAV might end up close.
  14. moonslav59
    $700/15 or 16 (ig MLB allows 16) is already too high. Just make the top offer and walk away.
  15. moonslav59
    There has to be a drop dead point for the Sox, and $700M seems higher than that.
  16. moonslav59
    Nobody should be.
  17. moonslav59
    If the $730M off to Soto is correct, we need to move on. We are NOT going to get Burnes and Fried, and I kinda think Scott is not a choice, so I'm not seeing a big second guy. Fried, Estevez, Carson Kelly and Bregman? (Trade Yoshida and Casas/Devers at DH/1B) Fried and Scott + Carson Kelly Fried, Flaherty or Nate, Estevez and Kelly? Trade Abreu and DHam for a RHB.
  18. moonslav59
    I do not think an 11-2 Texas deserves to be seeded ahead of 11-1 ND. 1. Oregon 12-0 or Penn St. 11-1 2. Georgia 11-2 3. SMU 11-1 or Boise St 12-1 4. Boise St 12-1 (or AZ St. if SMU loses) 5. ND 11-1 or Oregon, if they lose. 6. Texas 11-2 7. Penn St (if they lose) 8. Ohio St 10-2 9, Tennessee 10-2 10. Indiana 11-1 11. Alabama 12. AZ St or Clemson (if they beat SMU) 10.
  19. moonslav59
    If the Sox offer $730/15, do the Mets add $50M?
  20. moonslav59
    It could end up being AZ St at ND.
  21. moonslav59
    He is a RHB, and we could play Anthony in CF with Duran in LF, but I'd rather trade for a SP or RP+C.
  22. moonslav59
    That's a lot of money.
  23. moonslav59
    I like Fried more than Burnes. I'm not sure why.

    I saw Adames as a possible plan B for missing out on Soto (Devers to 1B/DH.) At that money, he's not the inpact guy Soto would be, so using the money for pitching makes more sense. Does this mean Bregman gets $200M/7? (HOU offered him $156M/6.)
