    Acquiring a bullpen arm is something all contending teams seem to do regardless of need. It's like a formal announcement of intention to contend...

    Clearly you are unfamiliar with Chris Sale's run support...

    So you are going on record as saying the Sox are not going to go 31-49 (.388) the rest of the way? I can agree with that...

    It's a good add, but not a great one. My only issue is Pearce has been injured a lot the past couple years.

    Depends on the terms of the contract...

    I would think the Mets would be all over those players, but then young controllable outfielders (Nimmo, Conforto) and shortstops (Rosario) are not their biggest needs...

    Do the Sox even have a prospect we would miss terribly if he was traded?

    Pearce has 2B experience with 240 innings at the position and a 0.1 UZR/150. Think he gets time there?

    Even then, is he still likely more than a future utility infielder? Not that UIF's are unimportant, but certainly they are replaceable and ca be acquired multiple ways quickly. If he is the next Carlos Asuaje, was it a bad deal?

    You've got to stop listening to Natick and Mad Stork about what this team needs. If Dombrowski actually took their advice and made those deals, they would both complain about what he did to the team and tell you how it was weaker and still not built for the post-season...

    Soxprospects.com ranked Espinal 19th in a weak farm system and said he profiled as a future utility infielder He was 23 years old and still in A-ball, granted due to a late start from playing JuCo ball. But I really doubt the Sox miss him...

    Only other player to do so was Kelly Johnson...

    They will demote Tzu Wei-Lin..

    No it won't. But it will postpone it until his next slump...

    It probably won'y get their attention. Groome might not have as much trade value as you think right now...

    Obviously Mookie Hugh. For multiple reasons...

    My belly button is puckering and unpuckering with this news!!!

    I think Kyle Gibson might be harder to get than DeGrom. That extra year of control has proven to be very pricey with pitching. The Red Sox can probably get Shields for next to nothing and might even be able to get the White Sox to pick up some salary. This still doesn't necessarily make it a good deal.

    Someone clearly hacked his account and is using it for actual journalism...

    Why? If you're not going to be able to keep him anyway. It's not like we awould ever blame a guy for taking a lot of money and then going on the DL..
  21. notin
    Or maybe the going rate for it. Maybe I'm alone in this regard, but I worry more about the years thsn the money. I don't have to pay any of the latter but I have to watch all of the former. .

    The organization may have also felt that even with his decline they weren't going to get a better pitcher for that kind of money on a one year deal. ..
  23. notin
    And from a fifth/sixth starter, isn't that acceptable?
  24. notin
    You didn't put that notion forth, but the post I originally responded to appeared to. Whether or not Cora mishandled Wright in that one game shouldn't be an indictment of his abilities to handle a knuckle baller. He does have more insights on the matter than many give him credit for. And he very likely takes more matters into account as well...
  25. notin
    The deal did wind up not working out, but it was a worthwhile gamble given thst it was only one year and not an outrageous price for a declining pitcher given the contracts given to other free agent pitchers at the time like Yovanni Gallardo and Mike Pelfrey, both of whom signed multi year deals. Given that $13mill want really elite pitcher money at the time, I would just as well assume only take the risk on the one year deal in that case, rather than saddle the team with a declining pitcher for multiple seasons....
