I did the MLBTR free agent contest. My picks for the Sox were Odirizzi, Quintana, Porcello, Hand, Wong, and Miller. I don't think they sign all 6, but I think I can get 3 of them...
-
I'm number one on that list..
-
I’d gamble on protecting Bazardo over Ryan Weber
-
Bloom hopefully won’t expose Bazardo while protecting Chris Mazza and Ryan Weber...
-
Also bear I mind those values can and do change. Go look at Maeda’s value now...
-
But the Sox need to address a massive pitching defiency. The free agent market offers very little in the way of starters after Bauer. The non-tender market might be better than usual, but still won’t have the caliber of pitcher the Sox need. The trade market might be ripe, but the Sox do need someone to trade. If not Downs, who?
-
I’m ok with moving Casas or Downs, preferably not both...
-
So... you admit he was Plan B?
-
Do you prefer I refer to him as Plan B? We know he wasn’t Plan A...
-
By earlier this year, you mean three months ago...
-
Why not move Downs for pitching? He was never the top target in the Betts trade; just a guy they settled for when things didn’t work out...
-
And didn’t you like my 3 way trade on there with Tampa and Cleveland? Tampa gets Vazquez Cleveland gets Meadows Boston gets Civale
-
By that logic, Tampa made a mistake by acquiring Randy Arozarena, since they already had two established centerfielders in Kiermaier and Margot. Stockpiling prospects is not a bad strategy for Tampa. They would have very little difficulty flipping Downs or dealing Brujan...
-
No. But they do have the assets to fill holes. Deal Vazquez. Sign Zunino. Call it a day...
-
My recommended free agent splash is Ozuna and Hand. And then acquire a big name SP via trade...

Also what elixir did Correa drink that will magically transform him from the injury-prone klutz that he is today and has been since 2015 into a player worth investing in like he has a 150 game season in his future? Or do the Sox sign Correa and use his downtime to showcase CJ Chatham?

Bogaerts. So here is the conundrum. Bogaerts signed the extension with the Sox when he was ONE YEAR away from being one of, if not THE top name on the free agent market at the ripe old age of 26. And he is a Boras client. I can still hear echoes in the wind from Scott on that day. “ Xander, don’t sign. I said don’t sign. DON’T. Xander... Xander. Put down the pen. We’re all friends here just put it down. I can help you. Please let me help you. PUT DOWN THE f***ING PEN!!!..... Oh Xander. You’re dead to me.” So - and maybe it was the World Series High - but Xander signed. And as you clearly just read, against the advice of his agent. So my question to you is - what is it about Boston that will make Bogaerts want to leave but also make Correa want to come?
-
Peacock and Marisnick in 2021. McCullers in 2022. Correa never...
-
No one knows if he is a priority for the Sox. Just that he is one for the Astros...
-
Per Rotoworld, JBJ is a "priority" for the Astros...
-
Well we don’t even have a return date yet.
-
Can we let him throw his first pitch before we promote him?
-
Beltre will be the one with all the hardware mentioned in Cooperstown, but in his limted time there, Iglesias just made everything look easy...
-
Crisp struggled in the 2007 post-season and was replaced by Ellsbury. But when Ellsbury struggled in the 2008 post-season, he was replaced by Crisp, who was absolute money...
-
For a catcher and a sinkerballer reliever?
