    Always remember - at least half of that fuel is for outgoing trips…

    Oh I don't think they plan to move on. But it is one scenario where they would move Betts for someone like Seabold. In fact, it's the only one...

    They might if they just wanted to dump lots and lots of salary, right?
  4. notin
    Why not? They're the one team whose GM is less predictable than ours...

    Considering the cash he is owed, is that value really unreasonable? Or the fact that he cannot be included in trades?

    I have doubts KC would want Bradley, given they have the reigning Gold Glove CF in Michael Taylor. If the Sox plan to let Bradley play CF, they have a LHH option in Duran for LF, and could platoon him there with 35yo free agent Andrew McCutchen (.969 OPS vs LHP last year). And if Duran struggles, maybe McCutchen gets a bit more PT. There are other guys like Jordan Luplow and Darin Ruf who also crush LHP, but neither is FA right now...

    Bezos can afford to have the sun moved closer, if need be…

    FWIW Bradley’s value matches up with Wil Myers at -12.8 on BTV. If San Diego included former Bloom acquisition RHRP Emilio Pagan (BTV value:0), it might make more sense…

    Well, for LF the premier RHH are Kris Bryant, Nick Castellanos, and Jorge Soler. Soler and Castellanos are horrific fielders. And Bryant wants the moon and he wants it gift-wrapped. Bloom might scrape the bottom of the barrel for Andrew McCutchen or Tommy Pham…

    We had Schwarber last year and he was left-handed then…

    Yankees, Phillies and the aforementioned Carolina Panthers…
  12. notin
    Translation - no one knows. Soxprospects still lists Kyle Schwarber as the LF acquisition. Sure it could happen, but there are other alternatives…

    Maybe some sort of insane clown posse, with all lowercase letters to avoid confusion?

    So if the Sox announced today they dealt Bradley to the Dodgers for Bauer and tickets on Jeff Bezos’ phallic rocket, thoughts?

    Wacha and Hill. Whitlock is a known (and extremely effective) commodity in the bullpen. Not broken. Don’t fix…

    We all doubt it. That's what makes it likely

    I don't think it matters. They aren't getting him...

    With Correa, the real dark horse is the Nationals. They won everything 3 years ago, and still have some big contracts in Corbin and Strasburg. They do have a bunch of solid young, cheap players lead by Juan Soto (who will be leaving this list soon, as he should start making real money), Keibert Ruiz, Victor Robles, Josiah Gray, Tanner Rainey, and Carter Kieboom. Why not? I think the Yankees look for a short term option and hope one of Peraza or Volpe pans out. Simmons and IKF are both good options. Taking the the last year of the contract of Elvis Andrus might lessen what it takes to pry Matt Olson out of Oakland. Maybe a reunion with Grigorius, freeing up Philly to pursue Correa?

    Plus Stroman gets tips and a full week off at Christmas...

    Well, now you have to factor in Bloom's First Law of Unpredictability, which clearly states "odds were meant to be disregarded"...
  21. notin
    At this point, I think the whackier the scenario, the more I am likely to embrace it as realistic...
  22. notin
    Probably, but he was the first one to come to mind. Certainly Madison Bumgarner would be a candidate, although not sure about any upside. Trevor Bauer can be had, if you can ignore some rather odd off-field issues...
  23. notin
    And not at least postponed? The problem with cancelling the Rule 5 draft is it really doesn't enhance the owners' agenda (and arguably hurts it) since the MLBPA never really cared about those unprotected minor league scrubs trying to steal their jobs anyway...

    I'm clinging to a rotation of Sale, Eovaldi, Pivetta, Hill and Wacha as the plan. I still think this team needs to add at least one more reliever (Archie Bradley? Oliver Drake? Trade candidate?) and a starting LF (Bryant? Conforto? Eddie Rosario?) and maybe a LHH 1B to pair with Dalbec (Brad Miller?) Now that I have mentioned those names, all of whom are good fits, I think we can all agree that none of them will be signed once the off-season continues...

    I'm certainly not saying Yorke is on the block, just that he was an example of the types of minor league deals the Sox could make with increased minor league depth. As for Bloom dealing first-round picks, I might be a bit hesitant to make any such bet. 2015 Tampa first-rounder Richie Shaffer might want to take that action. 2018 first-rounder Matt Liberatore was also dealt by Tampa rather quickly, but I think Bloom was already in Boston...
