You didn’t see it? Farrell pushed him over and then whacked his kneecap with a ball peen hammer...
-
He went 7 on Price. For 28yo Eovaldi, 4 years is a given. The only question really is - will he go five?
-
Pollock is a free agent. They just need a checkbook and a pen. The Marlins appear to be asking for the moon for Realmuto, along with a second moon to be named later...
-
The only starters in this market to even think about going 4 years on are Eovaldi and Keuchel...
-
Someone better tell Dombrowski quick!
-
Can’t find anything either. But the free agents who sign earlier in the off-season seem more likely to beat the projections. The ones who sign late seem to settle. So if Eovaldi is seeing the early action, maybe he’s seeing the gaudy numbers?...
-
I’m just delivering the news here. If I were to make it up, we’d be targeting Wilson Ramos...
-
Not really fair to include Ellsbury, who only had 2 injury-shortened seasons. And one of them was the result of getting run over by Adrian Beltre, who made a habit of breaking the ribs of Sox left fielders...
-
I’m sure DD is going through the pitching market as well. Eovaldi does appear to be top priority, and hopefully there is a Plan B in place. But I wouldn’t be surprised if he tried to upgrade the catcher spot with a hitter. Cervelli might revert to the 90 OPS+ hitter he has been recently, but even that represents an upgrade of the 69 OPS+ that Vazquez has for his career and the 46 he posted last season...
-
Morton made 56 starts and pitched over 300 innings in the last two seasons. Is there some health issue with him? He’s from NJ and some speculation has him wanting to return to the northeast (Do these “free agents wants to go home” rumors ever actually happen?). If the Sox can’t sign Eovaldi, Morton is not a bad Plan B...
-
If DD wants to improve the lineup, that’s the most likely place. Cervelli had an OPS+ of 123 last year. And his acquisition would free up Vazquez for a subsequent deal in a market where catchers are actually an early hot commodity, although I’m not sure what the market for CV would be. I’m not so sure the Sox don’t spend at catcher. But if Eovaldi doesn’t sign, they will spend somewhere...
-
NEVER sign players just to keep them away from another team. Houston and NY will find some pitching somewhere. You cannot stop them...
-
Hey!! Don’t go messing with your trade value!!
-
That makes things interesting with regards to Eovaldi. If the Sox think Wright/Johnson can hold the fifth starter spot, then the focus turns to bullpen...
-
Maybe we’ll trade you
-
They may have talked when Vaz was hurt, but apparently the talks have been renewed. Or it could simply be some crazy blogger with no real sources and a vivid imagination...
-
A) Maybe he does, or maybe some of that love faded after Vazquez posted -0.8 fWAR this year. While $7mill is not insignificant for the Sox budget right now, we really don’t know where moves like this fall on the priority list. Maybe if the Sox don’t get Eovaldi, they pull the trigger on the two most expensive Pirates and acquire Cervelli and Ivan Nova ($8.5mill) for the same estimated $15mill increase from Eovaldi? Ok that one is pure conjecture on my part. C) The Sox have to replace a potential crowd after 2019 anyway, starting with Sale and Bogaerts. If DD goes for a one year catcher upgrade, he really is all in on 2019 again. Regardless, the rumors exist that DD is looking to bolster the catcher position, whether this is the smartest idea or not. Time will tell how interested DD is...
-
There has been chatter about upgrading the catcher situation since at least July. In theory, the Sox could send back Vazquez or deal him elsewhere, which would them remove about $3.5mill AAV from the budget, making an addition of Cervelli only a net increase of about $7mill...
-
Reportedly the Sox and Pirates talked about Cervelli in July and may have recently renewed their discussions, per soxsphere.com. The Pirates have some interest in Mike Sharwyn, according to MLBpipeline.com. More to come at the Winter Meetings?...
-
You could say the same thing about Eovaldi, with the exception of this year. Price would have been the best one on the market had he opted out...
-
Yes, Dombrowski did the right things and they worked. It's OK to criticize some things, but to hold any and all mistakes against him like they were fatal to the organization is flat out silly. It's like chiding Alexander Fleming right after he discovered penicillin by saying "Hey!! You ruined all that bread!!"
-
Having a potential outfield with Juan Soto, Victor Robles, and Adam Eaton helps...
-
Athletes in any professional sport bleed the colors of the team that signs the checks...
-
Oh there was lot of “These guys were the future? Pfffffft.” And “Moncada lead the league in strikeouts!” That kind of stuff. Moncada will be a star. Sale is one. Logan Allen looks like he will be a star very soon. Kimbrel was one. That’s how trades are supposed to work...
-
No. You can dislike trading Moncada and still like the Sale trade. Many people do...
