with some of the funniest names, like Diplodocus. Tht sounds more like something a magician says when he pulls off a trick as opposed to a name for a 25 ton herbivore...
Well it could, since he would be one season closer to free agency. But he is closer to being rock bottom than he has ever been before and substantially further away from his peak value/performance...
I think the missing option here is Rougned Odor, whose contract Texas might entice the Sox to take and was also connected to Bloom/Sox in trade talks as recently as August...
I don't think that will be a factor.
The Royals have signed Mike Minor and Carlos Santana. Do we believe they think they will be competitive this year?
Now Bloom will go with Chavis/Arroyo/Chatham if he cannot afford anyone else (presumably after spending on pitching) or thinks the other options are not going to be worth it. ...
Yeah but the Sox have someone for LF. And Profar's 101 OPS+ over the past 3 seasons is beatable by a number of free agents. If the Sox are only spending $7mill on one outfielder, they can likely bring Bradley back for that price and he is a better defensive fit...
