  1. I’d be ok with both. And Brandon Workman needs a good home, too...
  2. I agree but going over with 2022 in mind (Odorizzi?) would make sense to me...
  3. Although there is absolutely no harm in going over thr tax limit...
  4. Can we get past this at some point? Plenty of GMs have made their name on small market teams only to be hired by bigger markets due to their success. (We've seen it in Boston - Dan Duquette, for example.) And not one of them adopted the small market mentality with their new team. Andrew Friedman with the Dodgers is another incredibly obvious example, as he is not only a big spender, as of right now, he is the biggest spender ever...
  5. A move only slightly less surprising than the rising of the sun this morning...
  6. 19 down, 21 to go?
  7. I thought draft picks could now be dealt after the World Series of their draft year. And if the Sox are getting some 2020 draft picks, collegiate players are not always a long way off. If the PTBNL from the Mets is RHP J.T. Ginn (2020 2nd rounder from Mississippi State), he turns 22 in a couple months and might even be in AA by the end of the upcoing season. Jumping from AA to MLB is far from unheard of...
  8. And can we get Brice out of there? What is a post-COVID Taylor ?
  9. You're only proving my point...
  10. Whether you like his judgement or not, he is the guy making the calls in Pittsburgh...
  11. moon's proposed deal is a salary dump for the Pirates, who could actually use Chavis at 1B where they only seem to have LHH Colin Moran, who is not exactly a contact machine himself (26% K rate). And Pitt GM Ben Cherington apparently liked Chavis enough at one point to take him in the first round...
  12. Well, the GM of the Pirates did draft Chavis in the first round.
  13. Trade what? I wouldn't be surprised if the Sox made no more additions. I will be disappointed, but I won't be surprised...
  14. Well, I did not know he vacationed there 7 years ago!! That changes everything! The problem with the Mariners is they have a talented young CF in Kyle Lewis. And Bradley is not an "outfielder." He is a "centerfielder". Playing him in either corner is misusing him...
  15. Straw is a formal infielder with lightning speed. They can find multiple ways to get the 2019 version into the lineup. The obvious other CF still looking for work is Brett Gardner, not Dyson, who is a career backup on a good day. Now if the Astros sign Gardner for CF, that really leaves JBJ scrambing, with his non-Sox options suddenly looking to include the Chunichi Dragons...
  16. Astros, Phillies and Red Sox. I do think the Sox are the least likely of the three...
  17. Who was it who said the Sox would not be able to keep two $30million players?
  18. Now are the Phillies the Dark Horse in the JBJ Sweepstakes? No rumors to date that I have seen linking them to Bradley. But consider the following: 1. The Phillies missed the postseason last year. 2. The Marlins didn't. 3. They have added 0 new position players to their sub-.500 lineup. 4. Their starting CF is Scott Kingery. 4. Their other options are Adam Hasely and Roman Quinn
  19. Maybe. But JBJ is running out of options. I think Houston might top a 2/$15 offer. I keep hearing the Mets are still in. How many CF's does one team need? They're going to give Brandon Nimmo a complex if they keep adding more after already bringing in Almora, Pillar and Khalil Lee. No way the Mets still want Bradley. Boras priced him out of that market...
  20. Yeah... that's a good strategy. Should have just traded for Taillon. He's had TWO upticks in velocity. One more TJ and he will be Nolan Freakin' Ryan 2.0...
  21. Pillar got a $5mill AAV. Where does that price out Bradley?
  22. Yeah but why grab a guy in May only to see him need TJ in July? Since most of them are probably in A ball, they have time to develop them properly. Hopefully at least one is a high upside catcher. If the Sox farm is devoid of any position, it's catcher. And Vazquez is gone after 2022, barring an extension...
  23. Per a700, he was answering a question. Unless I misunderstood that part and refuse to go back and look it up. He can correct me if need be...
