Only for the vaccinated...

Pitchers, too. Jack Flaherty’s ERA was nearly 5.00...

The Phillies just need this to be a PR move through season ticket sales...

Very hypocritical way to evaluate. If Dombrowski gets credit for Beinfest’s championship team, then Cherington deserves credit for DD’s...

If we’re being honest, I expect Sale to force the issue where they rename the award after him. So, technically, I expect him to win the Chris Sale Award... -
If they have any worthwhile prospects, Vazquez is headed to Philadelphia...

I'm surprised he is so low on Sox prospects, especially since Connor Seabold is #9. Same age, and Seabold has been better. But the Sox have 21 people between the two? And why is Nick Decker still in the top 20?

As George Will famously said, "The nice part about being a pessimist is that you are constantly being either proven right or pleasantly surprised."...

25. I can stretch it to 26, but not for players who signed out of high school. 8 years in the minors and still a prospect? Not in my book. What is yours?

Players taken in the MiLB portion of the Rule 5 draft require only financial compensation. They're usually not any level of prospect and rarely even make MLB. Only one player taken in the MiLB phase of the Rule 5 draft has ever played in an MLB All Star game, and he played in just one. (And that was former Sox RHP Alexi Ogando.) I learned all this yesterday. As Whitlock was taken in the MLB portion, he cannot play in the minors until he gets a full year of MLB service time, unless he has to do a rehab stint after an injury. Or unless the Sox work out a deal with the Yankees to keep him...

When? The Sox farm is improving, but I haven't heard much of anyone in the organization actually overrating it. If they have reluctance to deal prospects, it is more likely because they know they are going to need some minimum wage player at some point to balance out the loftier salaries. Arauz no longer carries Rule 5 status, as he spent a full season in MLB. He can play in the minors somewhere. And the Rule 5 players taken in the minor league portion of the draft (Reed and Ort) require no compensation besides a $24,500 check delivered to their former teams. Both Reed and Ort can (and will) play in the Red Sox minor leagues this year. Now with Whitlock, he still has to spend a full season in the majors to lose his Rule 5 status. If he spends any time on the IL this season, it does not count and he would have to make up that time in 2022. Or the Sox could work out a trade or cash compensation with the Yankees...

As he turns 29 in May, I am a bit hesitant to think of career minor leaguer Joey Meneses as much of a prospect. He's one self-inflicted gunshot wound away from being the next Bryce Brentz...

Hard pass on Chirinos https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/29712736/rays-yonny-chirinos-tommy-john-surgery

ZiPS and Marcel must think there will be a shortened season. Porcello has not made fewer than 28 starts in a season since 2010 (not counting 2020, of course), when he made a career low 27, and has never pitched less than 170 IP in a season longer than 60 games...

Whose overrating the Sox farm? It's universally disparaged as being in the bottom third of MLB...
-
Well, I predicted the Sox would sign Porcello, Hand, Bradley, Brad Miller, and Enrique Gonzalez. If they do all that, they would have to DFA at least 4 people - most likely from the set of Mazza, Wilson, Payamps, Chatham, Valdez, Springs, Brice and Brewer. Now if Bloom asks me who should go, I would say Mazza, Payamps, Springs and Wilson. But I would also tell him there are no wrong answers, except maybe Chatham. I am not sure how the Pedroia situation will get handled. He could also be DFA'd with 0 risk...
-
Maybe, but it is an MiLB deal so no 40 man moves are necessary just yet...
-
Done! See how easy trades get when you don't let one side negotiate...
-
I think Bloom is more reasonable that that. It's not like the trade of Workman.Hembree to Philly fell apart because they would not include Spencer Howard or Alec Bohm....
-
Well in my predictive scenario, I asked for either Shane Baz or Shane McClanahan. Per BTV, both are actually about equal to Vaz alone before taking on Kiermaier's deal. But I went with it because it felt about right. Now, per BTV, the Sox would be able to get either Shane plus Pete Fairbanks or RHP JJ Goss (19yo in A ball) or RHP Nick Bitsko (RHP drafted in 1st round of 2020 draft out of HS). I consider adding Fairbanks to be unresaonable...

That was who he traded with. Those MLB GMs lead one swinging lifestyle...

He had 3 other kids, but he traded them for a more expensive wife...

Woohoo

Well, not exactly apples to apples. The Sox traded one year of Betts and the rights to pay him $25million for Verdugo, Downs and Wong. Brandon Lowe has 4 years of control and has yet to reach arbitration; he is still making league minimum. These are important factors...
-
Maybe he meant Josh Lowe aka Nate’s brother? He’s an infielder in the Tampa org, too. The Rays are still loaded with that name even after dealing Nate...
