Moreland might be available after all https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/10/padres-rumors-mitch-moreland-option.html

And the Sox might not even walk that far. Maybe they non-tender and re-sign him for less. ERod might beangry about it, but if it is the best offer he'll more than likely take it. Personally, I think for the Sox an $8-9mill contract for a pitching-bereft team as a gamble is not a big deal. If ERod is alive, he is getting a tender. Worst case scenario is they waster $8-9mill on a player who doesn't pitch. Big deal. They're paying Price twice that to pitch somewhere else. And they'll paying Eovadi twice that and he's no guarantee to pitch next year either...

They key word in your argument is "played"...
-
Yes, his contract tender is 100% dependent on his health...
-
Ok so NOW you bring in the whole "history as a pitcher" thing...
-
Schilling was originally drafted and signed by the Sox, but was dealt to Baltimore in a trade for Mike Boddicker...
-
Only if they are used to offset what it takes to bring the good players that accompany them...
-
Chargers?
-
What if it's only the right arm that falls off?
-
Neither did Kevin Plawecki, and he threw more innings. So why does Plawecki only get $1.6mill and ERod gets $8.3 mill?
-
Well, what did he do to deserve a raise?
-
Last year, they were only down 10-0 after the first inning. Totally different. Funny story - that was a record for the first inning of a post-season game then. It lasted all of one year...
-
Simmons isn't as injury-prone as you make him out to be. He's no Stanton/Judge. Simmons has played 146 games every year of his career except 3...
-
Belt's hit is negligible, since they just reset and he is gone after one year...
-
They didn't develop Eckersley. They acquired him from the Guardians for Rick Wise, Mike Paxton, Bo Diaz and Ted "Thunder" Cox. So basically for Wise and nothing else. Eck was only 23 at the time, but he already had 40 career wins and a no hitter to his credit...

And you think that's better? -
I was saying this just the other day to Ernie Banks...
-
Do you have a pool of piranhas? I think you might need it here...

Per BTV, that trade would be Eovaldi for Pollock and Robinson Ortiz. a 19yo who last posted a 4.59 ERA in A ball....

That RF in San Fran is pretty immense, too. Have to wonder if it suppresses his home run power much like it does to Brandon Belt. (Belt has hit 274 of hi 502 career HRs on the road.) Mike Yaz has 17 of his 31 HRs on the road. Not a ridiculous split, but we are talking about only one full season worth of data. If the Sox are taking a bad contract from the Giants, I would prefer Belt (1 yr / $17.2mill) over Longoria. There are legitimate durability concerns with Belt and his propensity for concussions, but it's only for one year...
-
The Sox have only developed a handful of pitchers since Aaron Sele in 1991. Whatever the problem is, it goes well beyond just personnel. They've had scores of people simply not doing this for a long time. Part of the problem is trading arms away, but even then it doesn't create n impressive total...
-
Mike Yastrzmeski would be a nice PR coup, but as a player his future is pretty undetermined. He's 30 years old with 161 games (or one full season) under his belt...
-
The Dodgers?!! That's not Trout Country. They're all about Pollocks over there!

I think you missed his joke About 30 years ago, Chamberlain wrote a book in which he claimed he slept with 20,000 women, hence "more love than he deserved." Ir'a ridiculous statement, as it meant he slept with one woman a day for nearly 55 years. He was about 54 or so at the time he made the claim. Ignoring the 0 he had to have had for the first few years of his life, I also think he took a few days off to squeeze in some basketball...

He just had a baby, so he does get a little love...
