  1. San Diego is reportedly in. Now if only there was a GM out there willing to help out by taking Hosmer and his contract. Anyone know a GM willing to take a bad deal if you pump up the return with prospects? This is not an endorsement of Hosmer as much as it is an acknowledgment of one of Bloom’s MOs…
  2. Just clarifying. The response with the terms of a contract to the announcement of Olson’s acquisition does make it look like a free agent deal, when Olson was instead acquired via trade and extended…
  3. Perez and Richards started 22 games each for the Sox last year and we’re both in the rotation into August. Perez made his first relief appearance August 6th and Richards followed suit a week later on August 13th. These examples might not support the argument you’re making..
  4. Iglesias did have a solid season for the Sox, but the Angels didn’t release him because he was just too darn productive…
  5. Of course that wasn’t a free agent deal…
  6. We do know Wacha was promised $7mill, which is not the kind of money promised to middle relief pitchers. Salary may not dictate a player’s role on a team, but it does certainly indicate their anticipated role…
  7. They’ve been using the same size bases since the days of the Honus Wagner action-figure sized players…
  8. I’d feel different if Bogaerts was locked up. But as it stands now, the Sox have better internal options at 1b than at SS. Plus the younger Correa is just entering his “prime years” while Freeman is exiting his…
  9. My prediction is Soderstrom never catches a game in MLB. Internally he’s probably their top option to replace Olson…
  10. McCuthchen to Milwaukee, as I bid farewell to my recommended LF platoon partner for Duran…
  11. Would you deal Casas and Bello for Montas, Chapman and Trivino? BTV does accept it…
  12. Sometimes you just get the best player available. The market for the dirt cheap Langeliers will be even bigger than the one for Olson. Or they could move Murphy, who will appeal to a ton of teams himself…
  13. It means nothing for Casas. I doubt the Sox sign Freeman, but even if they do the departure of JD Martinez - either this year or this off-season - creates an opening in the lineup. Or we package Casas to Oakland for some of their Heavily Movables…
  14. To be fair to Bloom, it’s easier to get Friedman to trade his own children than to get him to trade young pitching. Probably because his children flat out suck at pitching…
  15. What does MLBTradeValues say?
  16. Jesse Winker and Eugenio Suarez to Seattle
  17. He did at one point…
  18. Has there been an announcement yet? Last I heard, six teams were still under consideration. That said, I always expected him to go to the Giants, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he decided to be a Padre. Those NPB guys do seem to like the west coast. And Yu Darvish makes for a much better ambassador than Sawamura…
  19. LBJ died in 1973. Hopefully there’s a Plan B…
  20. Will we be welcoming Jonathan Villar on board?
  21. Is Hill really the clear cut durability weakness in a rotation that has Wacha and Eovaldi?
  22. The holdup is he is seeing who makes the best offer. While most of us doubt agents and GMs made no communication during the lockout, that doesn’t mean everyone put their best deals on the table…
  23. I say let Wacha pitch a little first. Bloom has earned some credibility and he must have seen something of promise in Wacha. Also Sean Payton would be more accessible…
  24. That really only applies to 2019. 2020 wasn’t a IP surplus for anybody…
