If the Red Sox are truly all in to win in yhe next two seasons, they aren't and shouldn't muck about playing games with Hanley's option. Either he hits well enough to play or he doesn't and gets benched for someone better. Considering all the money they're paying guys not on the team, why is Hanley such a huge concern?
-
Possible. Bradley is easily worth Abreu in a trade, with the only stumbling block being whether or not Hahn wants a player who only has 3 arb years left. Reportedly he balked at this offer once already this off-season. If that is the case, deal Bradley for prospects or younger players (Cubs? Guardians? Giants?) and send them to the White Sox...

Pedroia undergoes microfracture surgery

Maybe if we can fracture it more we can take the American League!! -
Yeah that would be as stupid as saying Rick Porcello pitched barely above replacement level last year in one post and then praising Chase Headley as a 2.0 fWAR coup for the Padres in another. (Hint: It's only hypocritical because Porcello had more fWAR than Headley last year.)

Not if we don't rearrange the OF....

Bradley is a very, very good outfielder. But the sillier part of this post is thinking how any fan overhyping or overrating has anything to do woth not getting Stanton. Seriously?

Good luck hitting anything through the left side of that infield...

Over the last 2 seasons, Porcello has been worth 7.1 fWAR and Cole worth only 5.6. Considering that Porcello skipped most of the minors and did a lot of his development work in the majors, he's been a remarkably consistent pitcher over his career. His 2016 does stand out, but so does Cole's 2017 as a career year. And for as young as Cole is, Porcello is only 21 months older, which isn't much considering he has 4 more full seasons of MLB experience...

Stanton: I KNEW there was a reason I didn't like Jeter!
notin replied to Carter's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Isn't that what they are now? They dealt two of their 3 best players and got two minor league pitchers, only one of whom is remotely MLB-ready. They could have waited to deal Stanton in July. They would pay only one half his salary this year, and Stanton might have expanded his acceptable teams. It's not like his list had any thought in it; all he did was name the four teams that played in the LCS last year. By rushing the whole process, the Marlins let Stanton dictate everything and they dealt a reigning MVP for less prospects than it takes to get a half of a season of a closer... -
Santana does some things better than Moreland? Yes, just a couple - hit, field and run the bases. Don't get caught up in home runs; they aren't everything...
-
And it would be two actual moves. Of course Martinez wants to play OF and has no desire to DH (per rotoworld), so we would have to deal Bradley. Hopefully he can be dealt for a 1B better than Moreland. It would be ba better hitting team but a worse fielding team. ..

Yeah let's bring back Moreland. Meet the new Sox. Same as the old Sox...

It is a cautionary tale about the status quo. ..

The 2014 Red Sox were basically the same team that won the WSCmonths earlier. Yet 2014 wasn't a wild card season. ..

Not even a minor league contract. The biggest move of the off-season has been the DFA of Henry Owens. Is Dombrowski ok? Are people sure he isn't dead?

Cardinals should move Grichuk next, whose a pretty underrated power bat...

Bill James says the #2 hitter should be the best hitter in the lineup... -
The possibility no one is talking about is that Vazquez might be a trade chip. Is there any other reason to hold on to both Leon and Swihart?

The Cardinals gave up two very good prospects. And two other guys...

Fortunately for most of you, Dombrowski seems to have placed a high level of concern on your intestinal health by not making any moves this off-season...

Consistent with his criteria? Really?

So what is on the other side of that window?
