He’ll get a tender. The Sox aren’t going to try to save $8-9 mil gambling he won’t pitch. They really need to be taking a few gambles. If he doesn’t get a tender, it’s because the situation is worse than we’re hearing...

I was saying this just the other day to Gabe Kapler...
-
If there is one positive to come out of this series for the Rays, it's that they have watched Manny Margot turn into a star at the plate...
-
Well, as every parent knows, that someday will come when your own little boy has to leave the nest and be replaced by Will Venable...
-
Going out on a limb here - Joel Sherman has never been to medical school or watched an NFL football game...
-
According to Pablo, a chocolate loaf is a mere appetizer..
-
Friedman wouldn't give up Gonsolin to get Betts. Safe bet he won't do it to get Eovaldi and company. I think prying young pitching from the Dodgers is harder to do than prying a chocolate-covered meatloaf away from Pablo Sandoval...
-
If Houston keeps this lead, they’ll become only the second team ever to fall behind 3 games to none and then force a game 7. So naturally, no team has ever gone up 3 games to none and won game 7...

He passed away 5 years ago... -
Yeah I'm not really sure why our equivalent to Liberatore is Yairo Munoz....
-
I believe if San Fran deals him, they can still keep that money. It's just paid to the Padres and does not have to be earmarked for Longoria. Of course, if they kept it, Boston might insist on an even greater return...
-
Everyone knows Altuve is 4'4"
-
I know Benintedi is not big, but 5'7"? That would make him one of the shortest players in MLB history...
-
Sort of like Joe Buck and his 2013 Hex: "Ortiz has never homered off Benoit"...
-
Yes, Iglesias works. But then so does that Andrelton Simmons guy....
-
I would be down on Grady more, but it's not like the Sox had some great bullpen that should have made it an easy decision. And their brief little run of post-season success was not the only factor...
-
Well, most of moon' trade posts involving Eovaldi always include an unfavorable contract coming back. This can be mutually advantageous for a team with an expensive player with a low AAV but a lot of money remaining, like Rougned Odor, since most teams are rarely up against the tax limit and therefore don't care about the AAV. They do, however, care about the money still owed. That was why the Padres were so willing to discuss Wil Myers last off-season...
-
I think he was defintely having trouble by August 2018, and that was probably a big factor in why he was willing to sign a deal that was clearly below what he would have gotten on the open market as a healthy starter. And yes, he has had questions about his durability due to his pitching style his entire career. At some point, those questions will all come most definitely all be answered such that he is done as a starter. It happens to everyone. But until we get there, let him start...
-
He was pitching at a high level because he is a n elite talent. He is one of the hardest throwing starting pitchers year in and year out. He's very freakish in that most starting ptichers who throw as hard ashe does have a entic advantage by being very tall, and therefore have longer arms to get greater momentum going on their fastball. But don't forget, last year, he still only threw 48 innings, short season or not. And last year was not proof he can throw at high level for 150-180 IP. If 2020 was a regular schedule, his recent history does suggest he would not have reached that total. Especially now that he is entering his 30s...
-
Ray Charles clearly never met Pablo Sandoval...
-
Well, he certainly has shown he can be enamored by the talent of Eovaldi. I'm ok with that. I am too. If I had to guess, Eovaldi will start the season in the Sox rotation, and where in that rotation is irrelevant. But I think that Nathan's history has given sufficient reason to try a new approach so as to maximize his skillset... With Sale, he at least deserves a chance to reclaim his old role, at least until he gives a good reason to show he shouldn't have it
-
We do not. But we all know which one has the much more significant history. So, two questions: 1. Would you agree Sale deserves a shot back at his old role when he is healthy? 2. And do you think Eovaldi's long injury-plagued career is miraculously changed? As I have said before, my concerns regarding Eovaldi have never been about talent...
-
No it's not. Find a stretch in Beckett's career where he pitched as few as 178 IP over 3 seasons. (Hint: You can't. He topped that total even in the last 3 years of his career as it was winding down)...
-
I think they have reached a point where pitchin g is so thin, they have to figure out how to utilize what they have. Dealing Eovaldi might make sense in some cases, but overall it just looks like it will make a bad situation worse. And in some respects, I think Bloom sees this, which is why we do not have Rougned Odor....
-
Maybe. Although the early stories were that he felt Graterol could not handle a role as a full time starter. Makes one wonder how he feels abut Eovaldi...
