  1. And a starter. I prefer Berrios, but I can be on board with Hendricks. And a few others…
  2. And bring Duran back to 2b?
  3. Well his postseason successes were largely in 2016, 5 years ago. He hasn’t done much in limited action since. But the 2016 numbers were impressive in that he missed nearly the entire season…
  4. I’m actually not a fan of the soft-tossing Hendricks. But he certainly has had his successes. I do like Berrios and Means. Also Heaney on the rare occasion he’s healthy. And the recent successes of Morton and Smyly (whose another IL trip waiting to happen)…
  5. Yeah after the massive flops like Williams, Yastrzemski, Boggs, and Ortiz, you’d think the Sox would learn a lesson about lefties at Fenway…
  6. If that’s the case, demote Duran for a month and let him play daily. Franchy Cordero can handle the limited role stuff. And go get Schoop!!
  7. And the Rays add yet another fringey bullpen arm who will now morph into Trevor Hoffman right before our eyes…
  8. I was expecting Schwarber to take 1b and Dalbec to move to 2b. It’s a step down from his new position of SS…
  9. Well, we weaken LF. Until Arroyo returns, if Kike is not at 2b, Chavis is. And Duran doesn’t appear to be as good in CF as Verdugo.
  10. What if Ryan Weathers is sitting next to him on the plane to Boston?
  11. I actually think Schwarber does play 1b. Where else would he play?
  12. Hosmer’s salary drops nearly 40% for the last 3 years starting in 2022. His AAV of some $18.8 mill or so is still an issue. I’d be interested in seeing just how much San Diego would give to unload him. I expect Hassell, Gore and Campusano are off limits…
  13. Over Berrios or Means? You must love his Ivy League pedigree
  14. I mentioned that earlier. It’s a boringly old GM tactic…
  15. Per an old MLBTR article, the following SP should be available (ordered in their likelihood of being dealt) Jon Gray, Colorado Michael Pineda, Min Kyle Gibson, Tex Jose Berrios, Min Zack Davies, Cubs Merrill Kelly, AZ Caleb Smith, AZ Alex Cobb, Angels Andrew Heaney, Angels Charlie Morton, Braves Drew Smyly, Braves Kyle Hencricks, Cubs John Means, Balt Obviously, all 13 will not be dealt. Maybe 3 or 4 will be. Any preferences?
  16. Eovaldi has a 2.47 ERA over his last 7 starts. Perez, for all the grief he takes on this board, has a 3.55 ERA in his last 7 starts. He also has only given up more than 3 ER twice since April, but as those came in back-to-back starts maybe they got more memorable..
  17. Well, the Rockies have said they have no plans to move Gray, which is GM Speak for "Dazzle me!"
  18. I think that puts him one up on Franchy Cordero...
  19. No we cannot. Sorry. MLB rules prevent teams from acquiring multiple players who play the same position in the same calendar year. The fear is hoarding will create monopolies. Also, they fear Sherman Anti-Trust laws…
  20. Schwarber may not have played 1b before, but he is a former catcher. I’d bet he sees time at 1b. Not like the Sox need outfielders right now..
  21. Also I think the 10 day wait does not apply for players called up to fill a spot on double headers
  22. Cashman added the two best available left-handed bats for no money while holding his best prospects. I am far from calling either move bad or desperate, let alone combining them. Plus now he can move Voit to backfill some of the miniscule farm depletion. I don’t expect Voit to move until almost the deadline, so as to prevent his new team from flipping him to Boston…
  23. Diego Castillo to Seattle
  24. Alcantara and Vizcaino plus CHC is paying Rizzo’s salary
  25. No. Duffy gets hurt. He’s currently out until mid to late August…
