Because no one wants to wait for Pablo Sandoval to waddle over to short RF every time a left-handed hitter comes up. Baseball has enough “pace of play” problems as it is…
-
Arauz’ ceiling might not even be Yolmer Sanchez. But for a DFA candidate, I think he is still behind Hunter Potts and Jeisson Rosario…
-
Agreed. I like this signing, but the guy is only looking at maybe 40-50 PA tops unless something goes terribly wrong…
-
The Lester offer was a clear lowball. Different story altogether…
-
$300 mill is pretty risky for PR purposes. I have no reason to believe the offer wasn’t legitimate. I hold the FO accountable for maybe not negotiating further, but I find a $300 mill PR stunt ludicrous…
-
I agree. $300 million is a pretty steep offer to float out there if you don’t mean it…
-
He’s gone from “solution at shortstop” to “Plan B for utility infielder,” but he’s still a good gamble…
-
Iggy didn’t look much like Iggy last year at shortstop either. The Angels didn’t let him walk for playing too much defense …
-
Sox sign Yolmer Sanchez. Gold Glover. Decent player. Probably limited to being a role player in very limited time. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/02/red-sox-sign-yolmer-sanchez-to-minors-contract.html

Why does comparing him to Gordon equate to hating Benintendi?
-
He was talking about the other players there…
-
But will they limit themselves to one player making over $20mill?
-
At some point, the Sox are going to have to spend, and spend heavily on a player. Correa may or may not be the guy, but it’s not like Bogaerts is going to “settle” for a $20mill AAV again.
-
Why not: 1b: Dalbec/Casas(?) 2b: Bogaerts 3b: Devers SS: Correa LF: Verdugo CF: E Hernandez RF: Bradley/Pham(?) ?
-
So much for Plan B if Bloom can’t get Correa…
-
I think he’ll be looking for a contract in between Corey Seager and Francisco Lindor. And so will Bogaerts next year…
-
A Destitute Man’s replacement. Gordon had a 4 year stretch where he was worth 21.6 fWAR. In 5 full seasons, Benintendi has been worth less than half of that…
-
Even the Rays opened up for star talent once in a while. They signed Longoria to a 6 year $100mill contract back in 2016. Adjusting for inflation and converting Ray Bucks to USD, that deal would be equivalent to a 6 year $45,000,000,000,000 today…
-
And I was very worried about that…

The Sox farm definitely got deeper, but that doesn’t mean it improved past anyone else’s just yet…
-
Most of them were replaceable types, except an argument can be made for Benintendi…
-
It doesn’t appear to make sense, but that’s because we only use comparative methods of evaluating it. Let’s say the Sox farm had 100 future fWAR in it. And that total was good for the 20th best future fWAR from any farm. Then after the draft and a couple trades (and some player development), the Sox are able to add 15 more fWAR. But then after the draft and the trade deadline last year, so are the 19 teams in front of Boston. So now it’s still 20th. But did the farm improve?
-
I suppose other farms may have also improved…
-
True, but other than Betts, the Sox haven’t done much selling off of veterans for prospects lately. At least not veterans anyone cared about. (Sorry, Mr. Hembree.)
