Not sure. Up to DD. But we are talking about a guy who didn't exactly win a lot of admirers with his lack of hustle in a post-season game and really, is not all that reliable about showing up for work. The Sox will probably be looking to upgrade in the pen including at closer if they don't re-sign Kimbrel, and possibly at catcher or third base (with Devers maybe sliding across the diamond). They can't afford to have a drunken sailor free agent spending spree and don't have too many marketable prospects. When it comes to trade bait, and DD certainly likes making trades, one has to think Rodriguez and maybe Swihart are both far from untouchable. Maybe a deal involving Rodriguez for Jake Lamb?

Depends. Is it stressful against the 7-8-9 hitters?
-
And therefore can be acquired for two middling prospects if the Sox also take a player making about $5-6mill for one season along with him, right? Alex Colome and Erasmo Ramirez for Mike Sharwyn and Chase Shugart sound about right?
-
Don't blame me. Blame Dombrowski...
-
And the "closer by committee" failure 1) never had a committee and 2) should have been overshadowed by the entire bullpen pitching poorly...
-
And was acquired along with3 months of Denard Span's contract by the Mariners for two prospects outside of their top 30. How much did Colome improve since last June?
-
THat is true, but that is because viedo replay has to be weighed against the original call with clear proof that it was wrong...
-
MLB teams trying to steal signs is't news. MLB teams being stupid enough to get caught is...
-
I think he's trade bait this off-season...
-
That's got a pretty good angle that shows the ball might be hitting the frame of the windows for inning scores. Honestly, even if it play occured in the ninth inning with two outs and the Sox trailing by a run with the bases loaded, I wouldn't fault the umpires for calling that out...

Looks like it goes directly into his glove to me. https://sports.yahoo.com/unbelievable-leaping-catch-tony-kemp-killed-red-sox-rally-alcs-game-3-224028491.html

Didn't he win a Minor League Defensive Player of the Year award in 2016? Either he's struggling to adjust or nervous, or the rest of the minor league players in 2016 couldn't catch a cold if they were naked in Norway...

Well, it does make for much easier press conferences for managers, when asked why they went to some pitcher who eventually coughed up the lead. Before they had to go thru some whole justification about why Pitcher X was on the mound, but since teams started using designated closers, there's no point in even asking the question...
-
It was a great catch, but even if it wasn't, it would hardly be the first close call in MLB history to go the wrong way. Nothng to see here...
-
Apparently the Dodgers claim the Astros did this last year in the World Series. If so, they are doubly stupid for trying it against Boston, since our manager was in their dugout last year. Or maybe the Dodgers are just paranoid finger pointers, which also happens a lot in professional sports...
-
Wow. Even I forgot about that incredibly specific and mildly useful statistic...
-
You mean WAPM/UAPM? I’ve certainly thought about including. Links to BDC would certainly have been helpful...
-
I am so putting an application in for that..
-
Well, you have your choice from Bobby Dalbec or Michael Chavis...
-
But then he is also only 28, which is fairly young for a pitcher approaching free agency...
-
His injury history will cost him years, but his performance this year will help him get a good base salary. If Human DL Trips like Drew Smyly and Michael Pineda can both get 2 year $10mill contracts that cover one season when neither is expected to throw a pitch, a 2 year $15-20mill deal for Eovaldi coming off a season where he pitched over 100 IP might not be unreasonable...
-
Eovaldi's biggest selling point might be his age...
-
Well how much middle infield had he played at the time? Not counting the minor leagues, which were years in his past...
-
Right. Do you even know what those analytics say?
-
Like in The Princess Bride?
