  1. 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…
  2. Over Berrios or Means? You must love his Ivy League pedigree
  3. I mentioned that earlier. It’s a boringly old GM tactic…
  4. 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?
  5. 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..
  6. Well, the Rockies have said they have no plans to move Gray, which is GM Speak for "Dazzle me!"
  7. I think that puts him one up on Franchy Cordero...
  8. 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…
  9. 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..
  10. Also I think the 10 day wait does not apply for players called up to fill a spot on double headers
  11. 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…
  12. Diego Castillo to Seattle
  13. Alcantara and Vizcaino plus CHC is paying Rizzo’s salary
  14. No. Duffy gets hurt. He’s currently out until mid to late August…
  15. Rizzo could still say no if he doesn’t like the return package. Most likely they have already gotten Scherzer’s approval before any negotiations so as not to waste valuable time. Reportedly he will accept deals to the West Coast teams and the Red Sox, but already refused the Astros and Phillies. That the only teams currently being mentioned in rumors are the west coast teams and the Red Sox does seem to support this..
  16. The deal was a recovering TJS guy in Mata for Boyd and Schoop, not Scherzer…
  17. And really not much of a decline…
  18. Chickens hate marmots. Everybody knows that..
  19. Heyman still has the Sox (and Dodgers and Giants) still alive in the Quest for Scherzer…
  20. Now what would a marmot be doing in a henhouse?
  21. Fangraphs has his UZR/150 at -5.8, which is worse than Rizzo’s -1.6. BTV suggests Schoop (1.6) would be much easier to acquire than Rizzo (8.6), for what that’s worth…
  22. Wong does have a significant amount of infield experience…
  23. Food for thought Rizzo - OPS+ 116 Schoop - OPS+ 120
  24. You say stuff like that every year. While HOU and CWS are both very good, the Sox are still tied with Houston for best record in the AL. Why is Bloom supposed to disregard that? They didn’t get Scherzer for one very likely reason - San Diego still has a much better farm with more prospects…
  25. Players agreed upon. Medicals pending. Scherzer must stamp his approval. The weasel has left the henhouse..
