    The real problem is that Mitch Moreland is still alive and under contract. So 1b was never anything the Sox were thinking about...
  2. notin
    I would have loved it, especially if all the Sox gave up was some long shot sub-A-ball teenager...

    And no more Johnson. Let Shawaryn take his starts and soon-to-be Red Sox reliever Adam Conley (who is a big time Dombrowski type pitcher) take his relief outings...

    And I thought offering him $60mill/4 would be an insult. If the Sox want him back, his next offer will be close to his last deal. Maybe slightly reduced AAV...

    In his last 8 outings (7.2 IP), Marcus Walden has a 5.87 ERA and a 1.025 OPSA. And those numbers do NOT include today. Normally, bad stretch, and not a big one. But Marcus Walden is 30 years old and been part of 5 organizations since 2007. At some point, he might just return to being a pumpkin. Or did that happen 9 innings ago?

    Steven Wright will be next. At some point, DD has to remember why he signed Jenrry Mejia as well...

    Total or per year? Both are crazy, but a 3 year $63mill deal might work...
  8. notin
    So all the short-timers like Cano and Edwin Diaz? They’re dumping cash. Leake is next...

    Part of my point

    They could have moved Frazier anyway. Not like EE plays his position,and with the possibility of Dtanton and Judge returning soon, it1) an odd time to get EE and 2) likely Frazier was looking at a demotion anyway. The notion the Yankees only acquired him to keep him out of Boston, Houston and Tampa is silly. First of all, you can’t go out acquiring every player that l will help your rivals; they’re too many options. And second, don’t you think Seattle pushed him on the teams with obvious needs? DiPoto has heard of the Astros. He might have even worked for them once. He called. They hung up...

    Bear in mind Machado is 2 years younger and reached free agency sooner. The Padres are gambling that Machado has not yet peaches as a player...

    Well, there was that whole “convince Trout to stick around” thing...

    And for every tank job done by those teams, there is are a few failed tank jobs...
  14. notin
    I define tanking as “re-imaging with the understanding that the current season will be a step back.” And the answer is, very few teams who do this gain anything. They just lose games more cheaply...

    And he had a 1.68 ERA a year ago when he was pitching at the same age and level as Then is this year. Fangraphs gives both of them a Future Value if 40. They’re comparable...

    Brian Johnson should be the first name on the trading block. Is he that much worse of a trade bait than Juan Then?
  17. notin
    The 9th inning hasn’t been a huge problem this year. I imagine the Sox will give Wright and Shawaryn a chance to fill the role internally before doing anything drastic...

    It could have paid off in a lesson that career minor leaguers with dazzling radar gun readings might not be better to pursue than aging MLB veterans looking to extend their careers. But that’s what it looks like the Sox did when they signed Brian Ellington and Dan Runzler instead of Francisco Liriano and Josh Tomlin...

    It will end with a single season “success” of winning more often than losing and deciding other teams are better positioned. So the Mariners will sell off their assets for minimal to no return and the cycle will then begin anew...
  20. notin
    Then there’s the Mariners, who insist on being poor despite every opportunity to be rich...

    Exactly. The Sox are getting all that from Betts when he’s playing near his floor...
  22. notin
    Rich Hill...

    Cole will be very expensive, and certainly cost much more than Porcello, who has expressed an interest in coming back and might even take less money. Cole is a better pitcher, but signing him over Porcello makes keeping Betts that much more difficult...
  24. notin
    Yes, I’m actually starting to see why DD doesn’t get as involved with minor league free agents as I’d like. He isn’t very good st it...
  25. notin
    Playoff-free, too...
