DD has repeatedly said Painter is not available. As he normally has no issues making prospects available, I’m taking him seriously on Painter… -
$191-200m Squeeze that one big contract in there, but not go overboard…
-
If Miguel retires, find yourself another Rojas. There’s like 4 Rojas’s in MLB and they all play 2b (except for Johan)…
-
If Story opts out, too, it means Mayer is the longest tenured infielder…
-
With the money he’s making, he won’t need to work a side hustle in the souvenir shops. But I do agree he’d be good at it…

Devers, who was last out of Betts, Bogaerts and Devers* *Not a law firm..

A Realistic Look at the 2026 Red Sox: Part I
notin replied to moonslav59's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Sometimes promotions come regardless of whether or not the player is ready. The Cubs demoted Matt Shaw for 6 weeks ladt year before recalling him. He did hit in AAA like he had before, but I think the bigger factor was his replacements (Berti and Brujan) were both steps down from the performance that got Shaw demoted in the first place… -
Exactly. He needs to let the dairy do its thing rather than going directly to the cow…
-
We really don’t know the years these two will settle on. Schwarber only signed for 4 years last time, but he’s coming off a career year. Alonso wants 7, but will most likely have to settle for less. Will anyone go six? I think the big obstacles will be whether or not Harper is actually available and whether or not Harper wants to be traded…

A Realistic Look at the 2026 Red Sox: Part I
notin replied to moonslav59's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Reasonable assumption. I mean, they blatantly said that was the goal when they hired Bloom. They don’t have much in the upper tier of their farm ready to step in right away that we haven’t already seen. Will Campbell get another shot? Early start off in the rotation? When is Tolle back? We all hope these guys start next season out as MiLB depth, but it’s not necessarily going to work out that way… -
And even you have repeatedly said he never replaced Devers….
-
So both signed through the same age. I know it’s not going to happen, but I disagree with this article and very much think Harper is a viable solution at 1b…

I will go along with least amount of money. I just don’t think they care how many deals it takes to get there. But I also think they do need to put one big deal out there for the fans… -
And with Devers gone, JH now has to go long and large on someone else as a public show of commitment. As I’ve said a million time, free agency is all PR. You can’t call Devers signing solely because he was ladt man standing and then try to refute that simple fact…
-
Devers got 10. Harper remains one of the most popular players in the game. He still does commercials, which is unusual for MLB players, has tons of fan interactions, and still just flat out looks like he enjoys himself out there. Not to mention, his path to Cooperstown is already complete. His biggest downside is that he openly advocates drinking raw milk, which will probably be how he dies. But that could easily be more than six years from now…

1b: Harper 2b: Rengifo SS: Mayer 3b: Bohm Im combining threads.
-
Like I said, I’d take him over Bregman or Alonso…
-
I doubt DD uses BTV specifically, but every team uses a similar program. That deal I said didn’t work for anyone including me. But the other one with no Yoshida, no Castellanos, but did include Bohm? I think DD goes for that. No idea on Harper or Breslow…
-
I think Philly taking on Yoshida to replace Schwarber nixes the deal. If I was Henry, I’d rather pay Harper for 6 years than either Alonso or Bregman for five…
-
I think the mix is larger than that. 6yrs $153mill isn’t the rare air it used to be, and Harper is on the very short list of marketable MLB players. In fact, he might have the highest Q Factor tjis side of Ohtani. Not to mention, as it is a trade, Philly can pay it down or take back some cash. I think a Harper trade depends more on where Bryce wants to go than who else is interested…
-
BTV calls Duran, Yoshida and Hicks to Philly for Harper, Kerkering and Nick Castellanos a fair trade. Not one I like. And I doubt Breslow and DD both find it palatable either. But it’s a fair trade on their system…
-
They could also trade Harper to a team that is NOT the Mets and still sign Alonso and Schwarber…
-
Agreed. It’s a harmless discussion for today and Harper will probably be in Philly longer than DD will…
-
Think Philly would deal Harper to the Mets? I think they’d prefer to deal Harper out of thr NL East (and probably out of the NL altogether) and then use the savings to sign Alonso…
-
Depends on the rest of the deal. While I doubtbHaper gets traded, the speculation is DD would move him because DD made some uncomfortable statements about Harper. So this is close to Devers Territory. A deal like Duran and Hicks for Harper, Bohm (on the block to clear a path for Aiden Miller) and Orion “Is Home Plate Over There?” Kerkering makes a ton of sense for Philly. No idea if Breslow likes it. No idea if Harper likes it. No idea if the Sox keep Bohm. But Philly needs OF help badly and DD did draft Duran and move him there…
