  1. Too late. He’s already on board…
  2. Much like everyone Bloom signs, Suzuki apparently has experience in both the infield and the outfield just to keep everyone guessing at the defensive alignments…
  3. Don’t blame me. I’m not the GM/President of Ops linking the Sox to these guys. I’m just coming up with radical theories to explain them. And Locastro is the fourth outfielder. End of story. I’ve made up my mind on that!!
  4. Well maybe for a starting 2b?
  5. Well they’ve been linked to Suzuki and Schwarber…
  6. I bet they spend less on pitching than most people expect. Also didn’t they get the fourth outfielder already in Locastro?
  7. The Sox are not going to sign Freeman. I know it. You know it. Bloom knows it. Even Freeman knows it, But he is a better defensive first baseman than Dalbec. Other than maybe throwing Schwarber into the mix, I would prefer the Sox pretty much ignore 1B. I'm OK with Dalbec, maybe more satisified than most at least with his offense, which was among the best for AL 1Bman after mid-June. And the Sox still have Casas, as well...
  8. Mine was much simpler. One transaction....
  9. Freeman isn’t a step down from Dalbec defensively. Probably not over Casas either…
  10. Or… Kyle to LF, Verdugo to CF, Hernandez to 2b, and Dalbec stays at 1b, where he eventually pairs with Casas…
  11. He’s not in the free agent prediction contest, which is limited to the top 50…
  12. I went wth the cheap and versatile infielder types, much like Bloom did last year. I am also operating on the assumption that Taylor and Iglesias accept their QO's and will therefore be unavailable...
  13. Yeah, he's horrible. I mean, only one MVP award...
  14. MLBTR free agent contest is up. For the Sox, I predicted ERod, Jon Gray, Graveman, Eduardo Escobar and Jon Villar. I do not expect them to sign all five, but I do expect them to fill some of those holes via free agency...
  15. Don't fall into the trap of actually trying to call Yankee ownership cheap. Bad enough when Sox fans do that with Henry/Bloom. Like Hal or not, he is not turning the Yankees into the Pirates...
  16. Despite the differences in defense, the contract Nolan Arenado (8yrs / $260mill) received might be the baseline. Of course, Arenado has been worth significantly more WAR than Devers...
  17. So far the only players connected to the Red Sox this early in the offseason are 1B/DH/LF Kyle Schwarber and 3B/SS/RF Seiya Suzuki. Two guys who play six positions the Sox don't need help at...
  18. Really, Major Obvious? I assume this type of work has merited a promotion. In other news, trade proposals made on internet forums are not legally binding for MLB GMs...
  19. It’s just the date he got in his CBA office pool…
  20. Steamer is the Magic 8 Ball of the MLB projection world…
  21. All the more reason to reject his QO…
  22. Doubtful. He’s going to reject it; teams are already expressing interest in him…
  23. And which of them will pitch for Boston next year?
  24. From MLBTR: "Among those with at least 250 innings over the last three seasons, Heaney’s 27.1 K% ranks 24th in the Majors. His K-BB% ranks 21st. The skills are there for a 4.00 ERA starter. Always a flyball pitcher, Heaney was undone in 2021 by allowing 18% of his flyballs to leave the yard. A team with a big ballpark might wind up with a bargain." https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2021/11/top-50-mlb-free-agent-rankings.html
  25. They already combine to be a less productive hitter than Fraley...
