Or wrong!! (Wrong for the other team, that is,)
-
Per MLBTR, the Rays have expressed interest in Vazquez
-
If Tampa (or any team) had a catcher who could play in 2021, why would they deal for Vazquez? Sox would need to get a catcher in another deal...
-
Baseballtradevalues.com accepted the following trade: Tampa gets: Christian Vazquez, Jackie Bradley Boston gets: Shane Baz, Brent Honeywell, Kevin Kiermaier, Mike Zunino Zunino ($4.5 mill) and Bradley ($11mill)are both expiring contracts that balance some money but hopefully don’t push Boston over the tax limit. Taking Kiermaier replaces Bradley and saves Tampa $25.6 mill in 2021 and 2022 (minus the money taken back). And the Sox get two elite pitching prospects, although Honeywell has legitimate injury concerns...

... and it sounds like Mookie was never coming back to Boston anyway.
-
The infamous baseballtradevalues.com does accept a trade of Christian Vazquez to Tampa for Shane Baz (BA#71 this year)...
-
There, there...
-
Whether you like it or not, they’ll move homegrown players in the right deal...
-
Eh. Why do we need a top 5 catcher with no pitching staff in sight?
-
Most teams have already passed on Valdez and Osich once. Doubtful they can play a big enough part in any trade to matter either way. Brasier can go, too. I stopped like him after 2018...
-
From this year's pitching staff, the only pitcher I would want back next year is Hernandez. But I expect Eovaldi back, and Perez is 50/50. Barnes is most likely dealt within a few days (otherwise he would be my second pitcher I'd want back). Beyond that? Osich and Valdez have been tolerable. Brasier is probably back. Walden is probably back, but he's not the lock I would have suspected. Taylor? I'd trade him if I thought anyone would give me anything The rest? Cut. Weber, Mazza, Hart, Brewer, Springs, Hall, Covey, and Stock cannot go fast enough IMO...
-
This might increase their interest in Moreland...
-
Oh please. You know I meant historically. But if you like, name dozen prospects worth promoting...
-
Well, as long as they were on the 40 man roster...
-
Mata would be nice, but I think I'd be surprised, too, considering he wasn't all that impressive in AA last year...
-
Think he gets moved?
-
Pivetta? Not a prospect, but he needs to be in Boston...
-
The White Sox DFA'd Nicky Delmonico to make room for Dyson. Delmonico is a notorious Red Sox killer. He has a career OPS of .696, but in 42 plate appearances against Boston, he has a .934 OPS...
-
Other trade of mild note Rays acquire Brett Phillips White Sox acquired Jarrod Dyson These teams both represented decent landing spots for Pillar. Although neither acquiring team reportedly gave up much, so maybe Bloom held out? Or maybe he hopes to bring Pillar back?
-
A lot of people use these forums as a method of venting frustration with the current team. Sometimes, even when they post something that is really technically incorrect, pointing this out doesn't change their level of frustration. This year's team has given us plenty of reasons to be frustrated. Expect a lot more cathartic posts the rest of the way...
-
Ridiculous spending practices. Ok they’re not exactly alone there. But they have habitually outspent the bulk of MLB. The Dodgers and Red Sox are equally generous...
-
Certain teams will contiue to spend, while others will find it more dfficult. The biggest change might be an increase in the number of "small market" teams, as right now teams with lesser TV deals will now fall into that category. Or teams who think next season will also be fan-free as well might adopt a small market mentality, even if only temporary..
-
Except for the pre-pandemic part, as Cole signed his deal on December 11, 2019...
-
Cole's deal was 1) prior to the pandemic. and 2) from the Yankees, who play by different financial rules than the rest of MLB...
-
Oh Price would have made ZERO difference this year, since he opted out...
