    I don't think Sale is all that tradable...

    The World Series just went to a manager still on his first managerial job. But we have even Davie Ross just retire from playing, take a couple years off, and walk into the MLB dugout with no experience coaching or minor league management or anything. Did Bret Boone coach anywhere before managing the Yankees?

    Even sticking with traditional stats, the difference between the 2.71 ERA and 3.37 ERA isn't all that crazy. If you assume 75 IP (a fair amount for a closer over a full season), it amounts to 5.5 earned runs over a full season...

    Well, it's not like there were a slew of other openings, either...

    A trade that would be dependant onCleveland moving Lindor, which is actually very likely. The downside is it leaves the Sox without a shortstop and that plethora of talent class is not for another full season. Of course, this poster has always been a big Andrelton Simmons fan and thinks he would work out nicely in Boston...

    The thing is, if trading Bogaerts and replacing him with, say, Correa is an upgrade, why wouldn’t the interested team just go get Correa? It’s not like Bogaerts is playing a minimum wage contract either. And the price for Correa will likely be similar...

    This article does say "MLB Trade Rumors predicted Bradley Jr. receiving a two-year, $16 million deal. Other high-end free agent outfield options include George Springer and Marcell Ozuna, both of whom will also cost a draft pick if signed due to the qualifying offer attached." Ozuna does not have a qualifying offer attached...

    Well, you can’t go by what he did in Tampa. He had no budget there. Did Friedman clean house in LA? That’s the model to follow. Friedman didn’t trade Seager and sign Correa/Lindor/Baez. And he probably won’t.

    I was just excited to see the off-season starting...

    Robbie Ray re-signs with the Jays. First one off the board! The off-season is underway!!!

    To bring it back around, I could see the Sox dealing Chavis for Cain and Adrian Houser. BTV does not like that deal for the Sox and Milwaukee would need to add an additional piece, such as minor league catcher Mario Feliciano...

    DD will GM again one day. But the pandemic does cramp his style so he best wait a bit...

    Well, really I think they’re more equal. But Cherington walked into a horrible situation...
  14. notin
    Cherington rocks!

    The proper (re: truer) saying is “practice makes progress”...

    Not since Bernie Williams anyway...
  17. notin
    Oh yeah. Well, same idea applies. No idea what Milwaukee wants. They might do Chavis (replacement for the departed Gyorko) for Cain and a pitcher. But no idea what pitcher. Especially since former questionable prospect Corbin Burnes morphed in Cy Young in the middle of last season....

    I think you can count dgalehouse as a Ben Basher.

    Distinctly visible up to 4 times per year!!

    Keep Bogaerts. He shows up for work everyday. Even if Correa is better, who will play shortstop for the 60 to 100 games he misses with his annual injury?
  21. notin
    Correa is not a free agent. And probably a step down from Bogaerts, especialyl when you consider he cannot stay healthy anymore. He has not played as many as 111 games in a season since 2015. Hard, hard pass. Springer received a QO and I am operating on the assumption that makes him a hard pass. Ozuna plus a draft pick on a lesser contract > Springer and his contract minus the draft pick...

    Also possibly known as notin's "Vazquez for Inciarte/pitching prospects" trade idea. Atlanta has oodles (Yes, I saud ut again - oodles) of young pitching and a completely expendable Gold Glove caliber centerfielder on a one-year deal ($9mill deal).. There is also a Lorenzo Cain variation, but no idea what KC wants or would accept to shed the final deal of Cain's contract...
  23. notin
    Ozuna would be a splash. And in a non-pandemic offseason, he might be a 5 or 6 year splash. But in this cost-cutting, "$10mill is too much for an All Star closer" off-season, he might be available for a 3 year splash...
  24. notin
    La Stella is a good-hit, weak glove. Villar is a good glove but weak hitter. Cesar Hernandez is actually a really good player and just won a Gold Glove. He’s been a speedy leadoff hitter as well. But for some reason struggles every year to get a contract. And never gets a multi year one. No idea why a player who can hit, field and run struggles every season this way. Two possibilities I can think of are: 1) Hernandez is a phenomenal *******. 2) All the other teams’ GM’s think like I do and operate on the assumption Hernandez is a phenomenal *******.

    And not one of those guys will break the bank. Not one of them will make you say “Wow. Resetting in 2020 was worth it now that we have [insert random mediocre pitching veteran name here].” I’m not saying avoid those guys. But if the Sox are going to pass on QO free agents, fine. But you do need to make a splash. And it better be bigger than a Rick Porcello-sized splash...
