    Not necessarily. If you non-tender him, you can still re-sign him.

    This team is so reminiscent of the 2012 team. Great on paper but awful on the field. Every now and then, the 2012 Sox would put together a mini streak that gave you some hope, like that Cody Ross series against the White Sox. But then they’d follow it up by floundering hopelessly and making you mad at yourself for thinking they had a chance...

    The Sox tried that last year and couldn’t get a return they liked. Next season Bradley will make more money if tendered and have less control. So why would they get a return they like them? Best move is non-tender him and maybe try to sign him back for less. Other teams might be interested, but no one is going after hi for $10-11mill...

    Duran crushed in A ball because of a .471 BABIP. In AA, he has a .350 BABIP. Being fast certainly helps BABIP, but even .350 might not be sustainable. He may not hit, but he will be cheap. If there is a weakness in his game to worry about, it’s his propensity to strikeout, where BABIP 19% in A ball and 24% in AA. What will it be in MLB? If the Sox do replace Bradley, they might look at cheaper free agents first..,

    Sale is having an awful year, but this team is horrendous. DFA Porcello, Moreland, Pearce, Cashner, Smith, Weber, and Curletta.

    And they chose Detroit and Seattle? It’s not like the Sox bullpen is so devoid of opportunities...

    And yet I bet he homers of Sale today...

    I’m not so sure Duran and his .650 OPS is the answer in CF just yet...

    Disagree. In 99 careen games, he’s been worth about 1 fWAR. This does make him a borderline starter. Now he did play a significant chunk of those games after injuring his shoulder on a dive, which does appear to have an effect on his hitting. He won’t be a star and is likely a step down from Bradley, but financed might dictate a move like this...

    I agree Henry with Henry's decision to not add payroll. He gave DD plenty of budget to make a competitive team. And I like that he added Cashner. It hasn't worked out, but at least he did do something. But really, DD has been pretty absent all year. Dozens of pitcher have hit the waiver wire, and DD been absent on all, despite most clearing waivers (which means he certainly had an opportunity). Right now in the AL, two teams have closers that were acquired mid-season as free agents because they both cleared waivers. (Bass in Seattle and Rosenthal in Detroit.) These are minimum wage players to their respective teams. How was DD not involved? But hey, he did add Cody Asche and Chris Owings for reasons no one understands...

    As for Bradley, he is a legitimate non-tender candidate. He probably north of $10mill in arbitration, which is a bit pricey for a bottom of the order glove/part time bat. Now the Sox might still re-sign him at a reduced price..

    Those are Yankee Wins. Each one is worth 3 regular wins

    With Henry, I have no idea. With Dombrowski, I have no other explanation. If he didn’t have a long stretch of guiding Detroit into the postseason only to come up short largely due to not addressing pitching depth and ignoring the bullpen, I’d be more inclined to agree. He did steal Price from Tampa one year, but he always seems to list after star players. But he was always slow to adders blatantly weak bullpen. (Sound familiar?) He has the Sox in a tenable position right now. They might struggle to get int the postseason, but they’re on the outside looking in. They have no money to spend. They have no farm to rely on. No pitching to get them there. And Captain Ahab at the helm going full speed ahead despite obvious weaknesses...

    I agree DD makes minimal changes and avoids the overhaul. My impression of him is he learns from his success stories but not from his mistakes...
