Nobody counts Chavis. I'm not sure he will even be on the roster come April. And Moreland and JD should never play the OF again...
-
That's not much of a threat. If they do not hear in time, who are they going to move on to? If they say the deadline is 4pm today, and Bauer's agent calls them tomorrow or Sunday and says they have a deal, you can bet Bauer is headed to the Mets...
-
The Ozuna market is heating up, and the only teams mentioned are the Rays and Braves. Yes, the Rays. Bloom -make some damn calls here!
-
If they sign Moreland and another OF, they would have 5 players on the roster with OF experience, as they would have the new OF, Benintendi, Verdugo, Renfroe and Hernandez. That seems to be sufficient depth. If they sign Miller, he has played both corner OF spots, albeit unspectacularly...
-
And Puig might be the most likely OF to join the Sox. He won't be expensive. He can play RF, and so far, unlike Bradley, is not demanding anything long term...
-
I'd rather see Moreland come back, but I get the appeal of Brad Miller or Gonzalez. But to me, Marwin Gonzalez has never shown he ca be any sort of "bat" unless someone is swinging at a trash can...
-
Well I was wrong about Travis Shaw for a couple years. Until he turned back into a pumpkin. Maybe Ockimey has a season or two of non-pumpkin baseball...
-
Too late. Wrote him off. In ink...
-
Bauer to the Dodgers now. Book it...

I would normally be on board with Puello (or Michael Gettys) as a 4th outfielder, but I have my doubts that Bloom (or anyone in the organization) thinks Hunter Renfroe is a full time player. And it's not like they paid him as if they expected him to be one. They have been connected with numerous other outfielders so far, including Bradley, Puig, Ozuna and Marwin Gonzalez (if you think of him as on OF). So I am not so sure they are done here. And big no to Ockimey. Why when a LHH bench bat can be had cheaply, and the Sox have been connected to Moreland and Gonzalez and probably been in touch with others. And it is a safe bet anyone the Sox sign will be better than Ockimey...
-
Are you saying it happened or just predicting? I cannot find this actually happening anywhere...
-
With about 100 players or so still looking for jobs, it is hard to say as no one really knows what any final roster will look like. I have serious doubts about the Sox signing Odorizzi after bringing on Garrett Richards, but I still think they will bring in at least one outfielder and a bench bat. And if they take advantage of some bargain relievers like Romo and Workman on top of that, they will not be a bad team. Maybe not a title team, but a team we can all watch and get some enjoyment from for 6 months...
-
There is a significant amount of irony in hearing about the durability of smaller players from the fan of a team with two behemoths in Stanton and Judge that have both proven to be incapable of staying on the field in recent years...
-
Let's not go too far down this road for obvious reasons...
-
St. Louis was might have been better off waiting and dumping him for a quarter on the dollar. Getting Vaz would have been good for them, but they have sufficient OF depth with Bader, O'Neill and Lane Thomas already..
-
Unless they use that month to vaccinate 10 million people...
-
They did. But once you bring up Harper and Trout, is that really in the ballpark anymore? If he wanted to be paid among the best in the game, was 4th best good enough?
-
And only for one year while they figure out who gets to take over RF between Jo Adell and Brandon Marsh. No doubt Fowler's former manager Joe Maddon made this recommendation...
-
Not sure if they would have committed that much to him, but the Sox do have precedent in the Henry Era of paying players to be the among highest paid in the game. But with so many other commitments, not sure if Betts was possible on top of all that. At the very least, it is nice that Bogaerts was...
-
The one thing baseball does have going for it is by it's own nature, the game is very socially distanced. Only the catcher and batter are near each other. (Or runner and 1B if someone gets on.) All defensive players are far apart. And every time a ball is put in play, a new ball is brought in to replace it for the next hitter. The NFL and NBA cannot compete with baseball for in-game protections from viruses...
-
Yep. Freddie Patek only played a scant 14 years...
-
On the field he was great. To the tune of 37.2 fWAR. For some perspective, Betts achieved that total in 5 years. It took Hall of Famer Jim Rice 10 years to achieve that to total..
-
Yeah DAve really ruined those 1968-2000 drafts for the Sox
-
That first round wound up being one of the worst ever. The number one overall pick never pitched an inning in the majors. And four of the pitchers taken in the top 10 combined for less than 40 IP, all but one of those IP from Kohl Stewart...
-
So.... Eovaldi? Assuming he is not on the IL?
