I think this year, in-game strategy is the only fair metric. The personal/clubhouse stuff is all so different from years past, it’s unfair to judge by it. This is new territory for everyone...
-
I would actually like to see Perez moved. If everyone is healthy, this rotation is way too left-handed...
-
Going to say No. But only Cleveland’s GM knows the answer. Baseballtradevalues.com does say Vazquez is an overpay for Plesac, but not enough for Clevinger. Couldn’t tell you if that was true or not, but I suspect he’s not enough for either due to his shorter contract...

Blaming Bloom for the state of this team is like blaming a high school janitor for the mess in the gym immediately after a school dance...

Rosenthal speculating about Bogaerts being traded
notin replied to Bellhorn04's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
I get the logic in trading Bogaerts. But it’s really hard to see happening at the deadline. It’s probably more likely in the off-season if it ever happens. Now a lot of this is just Rosenthal‘s speculation from what Bogaerts’ contract says. I’ve seen Rosenthal’s speculation get wildly misinterpreted before. Remember a few years back when he wrote about Lackey’s minimum wage clause and said “Lackey’s only real option would be to threaten retirement” if he objected to the clause. But went on to write how he expected both sides to agree to an extension. But hordes of people read that and somehow thought “LACKEY IS THREATENING TO RETIRE!!” This was boosted by the Globe’s own “journalist”/illiterate clown Tony Massarotti, who actually wrote an article stating that per Ken Rosenthal, Lackey threatened to retire. (Learn to read, Tony!) So this could catch similar life and be a thing for a while. But I don’t expect it to go anywhere... -
The Sox probably should explore Moreland trade, but I doubt anything worthwhile materializes. I think action will be somewhat limited this deadline. The Sox should move Barnes and maybe they move JD. I don’t expect much else from them...

He’s BROCK FREAKIN’ HOLT!!!

https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/08/brewers-designate-brock-holt-for-assignment.html Bring him back, Chaim!! He’s worth the PR alone!!

“Average” would be an ace in Boston right now...
-
Yes I know all that. But I was not the one condemning a pitcher based on ERA...
-
There is no rush, as he does have the additional year of control. But a deal now would yield a better return for that same reason...
-
Agreed. ERA isn’t a measure of pitching ability as much as it is a measure of pitching and defense. The one advantage to ERA is everyone understands it....
-
So what’s your point? Exactly what do you think guys like Hembree and Workman are worth in a trade? We weren’t offering Aroldis Chapman here. The Sox offered up two aging relievers having questionable seasons and a combined one season of control left after next month...
-
Like Hembree’s 5.59 ERA?
-
I don’t think he was all that in demand...
-
So who’s next? I say Barnes. Maybe to Houston...
-
We need arms anywhere. We’re using Chris Mazza as a starter/opener...

I actually expected Pivetta or Vince Velasquez for Workman (and posted some deals on baseballtradevalues.com). I prefer Pivetta. I know if you read down the ERA column on his B-R page, it’s not impressive. But the guy has 2 seasons as a starter in his career. And in the second one he had 3.79 FIP, 1.31 WHIP and 10.3 K/9 with a 3.69 K/BB and held those numbers up for 164 IP. For 1 month of a reliever on a team going nowhere? It’s a good deal. Not sure what people expected for Workman during a season when the post season could be cancelled any minute now...
-
Cubs fans said the exact same thing when the team acquired Jake Arrieta...
-
Seabold has good minors numbers but really, he has average stuff apparently. He still could grab a backend starter role this year and maybe slot into the pen next season. Pivetta, OTOH, I agree with you. Hopefully he’s a change of scenery guy because he throws hard and has good stuff. I like him in this deal...
-
He’s making $588,000. Three arb years left. Free agent after 2023...
-
Well he just traded away the last remaining member of the 2013 championship team. Unless you count Pedroia, Bradley and Bogaerts...
-
He’s a free agent at the end of the year and we’re going nowhere...
-
So that’s why my wife hates the Orioles...
-
Nick Pivetta and Connor Seabold coming back. Pivetta is one of those guys with the stuff, but hasn’t made it work for him. Seabold is a 24yo RHSP with decent minor league numbers. Good move by the Sox here...
