I would imagine Jonathan Schoop is also on the radar. Especially if Arroyo is expected to be out for a prolonged stretch. Schoop has plenty of experienced at 2b as well as 1b and that versatility does seem to fit in with a lot of Bloom’s acquisitions this season…
-
They've been moving the value of Castillo down for a while now. Less than 1 eyar ago, it was over 100. I imagine if we look back a year from now, Alcantara and Sanchez will be reaching much higher values as they develop and get better. Berrios has just one year left after this season, while Castillo has two...

I wouldn't call it unlikely. Heck, even Mike Trout went back down for a while after his first call up. If it's only for 2 to 3 weeks, it would help avoid a crunch on the roster...
-
Possibly, although a new 1B could also contribute. Especially if they get a LHH platoon partner for Dalbec. It also doesn't help Duran that Cordero has been hitting better these last few games...
-
Actually it’s very possible Duran returns to Worcester for a big chunk of August…

I do think people overplay the “division rival” card. It actually makes more sense for teams like Baltimore to build their farm system by deleting the system of the Sox simultaneously. But Mancini is some sort of cult hero among Orioles’ fans. Not sure why. He’s good but he’s not great. He did have that whole cancer episode, which might be why. But for whatever reason, he’s not coming to Boston. Which is unfortunate…

I don’t think Denny will be happy until the only baseball stats people discuss are batting average, ERA and saves. I’m 90% certain he’s written his congressman to have laws passed banning OPS, FIP, fWAR and UZR…
-
Let’s get Gallo and Marte. Both Marte’s!!!
-
Some people suffer from them for decades…
-
I’d be happy if Bloom got Gray.
-
But then his IP per season are above average, which has a net positive effect on the rest of the pitching staff…
-
But his OPSA in those starts is .845, which is a bit concerning. I’m still not convinced his starting role is all that tenuous…
-
I’d be a bit wary of Houck as a starter. His numbers are impressive to date, but he only has 35 innings in MLB and his numbers in the minors were worse than his numbers in the majors. His success might not be as sustainable as we hope and it’s not hard to fathom him doing worse than the recent stretch of Perez. I think he might have a solid career in the bullpen. But I lack confidence in him as anything more than a spot starter…
-
But would KC? I think Staumont has more promise than either Dalbec or Groome. If they’re in the market got a young, cheap, controllable 3b, they might bite. But they also might prefer keeping their e pitching assets…
-
Christian Walker is having a meh season but is normally a good hitter. He’s sort of a wild card in the mix. The DBacks do have a top 1b prospect in Seth Beer they might want to make room for. Reportedly their minor league infield depth is weak. Hudson Potts for Walker…
-
I doubt they deal Staumont. Those 100mph arms tend to get longer looks. BTV gives Santana a surplus value of 3.6, which gives a slew of options for Boston. Santana plus Barlow raises the price considerably and suggests Jeter Downs would be the cost…
-
Santana is under contract for 2022 with an AAV of $8.8 million…
-
So the Sox trade 2 pitchers and get one back? I do like Gray, but how much of an upgrade is he over Richards? Enough to merit unloading Sawamura?
-
Another good option. His spray chart from the left side is not ideal for Fenway (he primarily has warning track power and is a dead pull hitter), but I’d take him nonetheless…
-
Garrett Cooper would be my top choice, but he injured his elbow in a collision at 1b last week and is currently on the IL with no timetable for a return I’m aware of. But otherwise, he’d be a great add, I agree. I also agree the Steven Pearce style add is more likely than, say, Rizzo. I keep throwing Matt Beaty out there since he makes a ton of sense, but he’s apparently one of this bench players that is needed by his current team and seems pretty underrated. Problem is, I don’t think he’s that underrated by Friedman…
-
So you think the Sox can drop Perez and his $6mill salary and add a 1B and another SP and still stay under? If they do that, they are probably adding a pitcher worse than Perez...
-
Not really sure Richards and/or Perez are that high on anyone's shopping list. At some point, the Sox will need another starter, who presumably will also cost money. Sure Houck can take some games but if any Sox pitcher gets injured, then who? Especially with ERod up in the air right now, depleting the rotation is a very, very bad idea...
-
-
No kidding. The trade deadline is a time for contenders to increase pitching depth, not deplete it...
-
The announcers on TBS were talking about German's pitch count for about 3 innings prior, and how the plan was for about 80 pitches, and that he was approaching his season high total of 99 It becase obvious that the only reason Boone was even leaving German in was because he was thrwing a no hitter. Even if you question Boone's decision to pull him, which can certainly make sense in this case, at some point he did use relievers he has been relying on and they failed to hold a 4 run lead with only 6 outs to go. At some point, that's on the bullpen itself. And I can't believe I'm defending Aaron Boone...
