Which is why he is considered a valuable trade chip. KC really does need to move him...
-
You could go more generic and just say sauropod... -
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...
-
But the neutral BTV trade simulator says it is an equal deal....
-
He is signed for 2 more years for a total of $10.5mill and has an option for a $10.5mill 3rd season. That's a good deal for a 4 fWAR player...
-
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. ...

You do realize that T-Rex was a carnivore, right?
-
And after 12 years and 2100 IP, he’s still on 31. For a couple more weeks...

SOMEONE GOT MY JOKE!! Thought that reference might have been too hidden...
-
Or it's a negotiating ploy to encourage Tanaka to lower his price tag...
-
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...

From today's MLBTR chat

I guess I am beginning to understand why 5Gold refused to call him Nasty...

A Benintedi-Verdugo-Eaton OF does not look bad on paper at all. It also allows Eaton to replace Benintendi in the 1-2 spots in the lineup...
-
Yes, they are usually very grateful. Norm Charlton was so generous, he even let Roger Clemens get a hit off him once...
-
Eaton would have been a nice target for the Red Sox. Surprised he got virtually no mention as one...

Nasty Boys, not Beastie Boys...

It's all smoke. No one likes Brice. Not even Mrs. Brice...

They can handle the Downs situation when the time comes. It's note like teams do not change the positions of top prospects at or near the majors to get them in the lineup. (Like moving Mookie to the outfield.) Heck if Bogaerts opts out, there is Downs' new position. I do think they still opt for a COVID bargain, and two guys I like for that are Cesar Hernandez, who is criminally underrated every year by everyone, and Jonathan Schoop, who was Bogaerts' double play partner on the Netherlands National Team in the WBC...

Optioning Taylor to Pawtucket is still keeping him. Even if the Sox open the season with an 8 man bullpen, they're going to use somewhere between 15 and 20 (or more!) relief pitchers over the course of a 162 game season. There will be room for Taylor at some point. But when you are in the back of the bullpen and still have options, the opening day roster does become less of a certainty..
-
A career OPS+ of 156 and an OPS of .912 after 15 seasons.7 All Star appearances and 1 MVP award. You don't need deep analytics to make a Cooperstown Case for Allen. The Bill James Hall of Fame Monitor gives him a score of 99, which ranks 171st all time, but also places him 1 point behind Hall of Famer Pee Wee Reese and tied with Hall of Famers Zack Wheat, Jim Bottomley, and Joe Kelley. And ahead of numerous other Hall of Famers...

I'm more OK with drafting 1-2 players if the Sox can work out deals for them and keep them in the minors. Otherwise the Rule 5 draft is not a good way to develop players, as they most likely lose a year of development by sitting on the bench a lot in the majors, but the team also loses a year of control as they gain service time. Now if they draft a couple guys to replace Valdez and Taylor (both of whom still have options) at the back end of the bullpen, that's not nearly as catastrophic. But hopefully they build up the front end with a couple of really solid relief pitchers at some point to reduce the need for the Rule 5 guys to pitch meaningful innings...
-
Well, short on good analytics, wnyway...
-
It would be disadvantageous for a team to take him via the rule 5 draft, and even of they did, he is not a massive loss. But much like last year when he was also exposed to waivers, most teams seem to be avoiding him anyway. It is possible his reputation from St. Louis is still an issue. The Sox now have TWO pen spots on the 40 man roster. Maybe they make a Rule 5 pick, but hopefuly they are looking to add some actual MLB talent. But if it was a Rule 5 pick, hopefully they grab a pitcher they can at least bury in the back of the bullpen. A couple of intriguing names per various websites around the internet include Colorado LHP Riley Pint and San Diego RHP Jordan Guerrero. Both of whom do have triple digit heat, but as you can guess, obvious issues with control/command. But that is to be expected for any hard throwing lottery ticket left exposed...

The Red Sox are NOT getting Arenado. Or Anthony Renaudo. Or this hybrid name of the two. Not sure who you mean. Arenado is like a fine Molson. By which I mean he is a product of Coors. .975/.793 home/road splits are NOT worth $200 million...
