    Oh I would be surprised if the vision they wanted sold to them didn’t incorporate budgetary limitation…

    There’s nothing in Devers’ favor. He was asked to fill in for an injured teammate and he pawned that off on Breslow. Devers was a great hitter, but not much of a teammate. I normally don’t look too deep into the clubhouse and off-the-field stuff (painfully obvious. I’ve been hyping Ketel Marte) because it’s rarely as one-sided as any story you find online. But I lost a lot of respect for Devers…

    How many owners are actually billionaires?

    What a tempting infield, he said sarcastically…

    With Salas, it was the age as well as the performance. But frankly, I can’t get excited about A-ball teenagers. Grissom was at least in MLB at age 21… That trade would never happen because the Padres are not taking on $26mill in AAV and only sending back Estrada’s middle reliever money…

    Sure, move Story to 2b. And then when the new 3b gets hurt, Story will be complaining thru his English-to-English translator that he can’t be expected to play EVERYWHERE and next thing you now, we’ve traded him to San Diego…

    I was surprised they worked out on BTV as well as they did. Usually doesn’t happen with Newsweek clickbait..
  8. notin
    Both trades do work out on BTV. Which tells me the author(s) of those webpages do use BTV…

    So much for HIPPA…

    Possible. If they add another 1b/DH bat, something has to give. If Casas is healthy and New Guy is playing 1b, optioning Yoshida and keeping the depth is an option. I don’t see the value in paying Yoshida $30mill to play elsewhere just to keep Vaughn Grissom on the 40 man roster…

    The big issue with trading Mayer is the Sox are already down a couple of INF. Has Mayer ever had surgery before?

    Oh Alonso is not winning any Gold Gloves. He actually alreadyfields like he is wearing the statue as a mitt. As I said before, my theory is Alonso likely comes down to Bregman. Option or not, I am theorizing bringing Bregman back is Plan A. If the Sox do bring him back, I could see Rhys Hoskins at 1b and Casas at DH. Alonso is probably Plan B or lower. But if he is the target eventually, I would expect 2b/3b to be filled more cheaply. Like say, Luis Rengifo. So which plan is preferable - Bregman-Hoskins or Alonso-Rengifo? I’m not really sure which one will be cheaper, but for the sake of discussion, let’s call them equal…

    I hate the idea of including Yoshida in a Duran deal as an enticement to offload him. Duran is worth more than a relief pitcher (granted an elite one) and a teenage catcher with a history of back issues. If Yoshida can’t be traded, he can be optioned…

    So two trades I’ve seen posted on the clickbait sites: Mayer to MN for RHP Joe Ryan Duran and Yoshida to SD for RHRP Jeremiah Estrada and C Ethan Salas Not wild about either. Love Estrada. Salas is like 19 and has had back trouble. And I’m am not as crazy about Ryan as many on here…

    Boone is certainly doing his part. Season on the line. Tomorrow is no guarantee. But let Rodon give up 6 runs…
  16. notin
    Alonso rests 100% on Bregman. And not just his option - there is certainly a chance they re-sign him. If Bregman returns - no Alonso. Thsts where Hopkins enters the picture. Of course, losing out on Bregman doesn’t guarantee interest in Alonso…

    When has short-selling a star by dumping a bad contract with him ever worked out? I mean besides for the other team? The Sox aren’t getting Tucker and Hicks’ paltry (by comparison) two year deal isn’t an obstacle. Tucker’s price tag is. If you think Devers is paid appropriately for being a top 20 hitter in MLB, bear in mind Tucker is a top 10 hitter. Last 4 years wOBA - Devers 15th, Tucker 10th wRC - Devers 18th, Tucker 8th Hiscsalary will not be covered by Devers plus Hicks…

    Crazy limb here - but if the Sox get a 1b, the DH is probably Casas or Yoshida…

    I want the Dodgers and Yankees out. I hate watching the same non-Red Sox teams every year. A Mariners-Brewers World Series would be cool. I believe Seattle is the only team to never play in the Series, and the Brewers haven’t since 1982 (with Harvey’s Wallbangers). Plus both teams played their inaugural season in Seattle…

    I thought they were just hoping Treinen could get 3 outs before he gave up 3 runs…

    That was actually the original title of that song. But I think the consensus was it lacked the necessary urgency. “Meet the new boss. Got lots in common with the old boss.”… Not their best writing…

    And that was on full display last night. At least Philly decided to help them out with a questionable bunt call…

    C No one is taking Paez. You don’t see many A ball pitchers go in the Rule 5 draft…
  24. notin
    But does that mean you think he gets protected?
  25. notin
    This kind of thing is happening a lot. If you wait until they prove something, the contract gets much, much larger. Anthony’s deal, for example, was more than double. Campbell’s…
