Especially not since his only other interested suitor has since added two outfielders....

In the Midwest, we have extreme cold, tornadoes, ice storms and serial killers, which happen often enough we consider them a form of weather...

If you don't like Boston weather, come to Chicago. It's like trading snow for unbearable cold. "It's minus 20 outside, but at least I don't have to shovel it."

And maybe the 3 worst hitters can be used to load the bases for them too. Also a baseball should no longer be used and the pitcher must underhand a volleyball...

And early on. Ideally 2-3-4...

Platoons are small market baseball. When you can't afford one good player, you find two cheaper half-players....

There are plenty of times when we as fans think all the facts are known, but there are one or two we don't know (and aren't expected to)...

I still wouldn't mind an arm to replace Thornburg. Free agency doesn't leave much outside of Greg Holland, who is looking for some serious bank....
-
If so, I misinterpreted his "in the minors" verbiage. I can see ranking Brannen that way, but no way is he one year away..
-
If Holt makes the team - and he probably will - I'll cheer for him to do well. But he really doesn't impress me much and I agree with Nick's assessment of his defense. ..

Dan Uggla wasn't much of a defensive second baseman. Chavis could well end up being trade bait...

They traded the starting DH from the All Star game making just under $6mill last year and received a $5.5mill reliever valued at 1. 7fWAR over the past 6 years (less than the immortal Alex Claudio last year alone) and an infielder who didn't crack the top 28 in the Pittsburgh prospects rankings. And a small amount of cashn You sure they didn't give him away?
-
I'm surprised they held on to Marrero and let Taylor go, given their infield depth, admitted need for relief depth, and that Taylor still had options left

He Might be the Sox best trade bait, considering his rank, skills, proximity to the majors, and that 1b is the only position on the Sox he can play that isn't locked up by a young, talented, homegrown player with multiple years of control. ..
-
Who ranked Brannen that high? I can't find a single source that has ranked him at all, let alone as the fifth best non-pitching prospect. That really doesn't mean anything about his future, but it does mean two things. 1. He is extremely unlikely to make the majors next year. 2. In no way should the Sox move Bradley anytime soon to clear a path for him.
-
How is that even relevant?

Does it really matter that Chris Sale is left-handed? Right-handed hitters, even the best ones, don't likely think they'll have it easier....

I think the Yankees have an advantage in the bullpen, but the Sox front five is far better than theirs. Mostly because I lack faith in Sonny Gray. Their lineup is scarier, but don't underestimate Boston. While they were a distant 15th out of 15 in home runs in the AL last year, they were still sixth in runs scored. Add in a legitimate 35 home run bat, and this offense did get much better overall...

Or Betts to CF. But either way you have to re-arrange the outfield if Bradley gets hurt. It's probably what would happen, and it's not horrible or unprecedented. But sometimes it's just smoother to have the backup who can play the position...
-
Problems like this do have a way of working themselves out. Injuries is one way. And it's always possible one or two guys earn the right to sit on the bench due to poor performance...
-
If the Sox keep Hanley, Leon and Swihart, they need a middle infielder who can play CF, unless the re-arrange the outfield if Bradley gets hurt. Holt is the closest fit, I guess. Makes me wonder why Marrero is still around instead of Taylor. ...
-
I don't think Pittsburgh is the best place for him to get a shot. If you really want him to get a shot, hope Pittsburgh releases him and he ends up on the White Sox, where the outfielders aren't as good and the best minor league depth is years away. He might be able to step in today and platoon with Nicky Delmonico. And since the White Sox have a couple high profile prospects in Eloy Jimenez and Blake Rutherford who are both a year or two (or three) away, they're not as likely to bring anyone significant into the mix on any long term deal ...

Please stop. Just so this idiocy. The entire point was that if Sox signed both Nunez and Martinez, they would Need to unload two players from the 40-man roster. They signed both and two players went. I don't consider it great insight on my part to recognize that a 29yo career minor leaguer is a DFA candidate. I'm not sure you insisted his power numbers shouldn't make him one and that his age, history and lack of options was important. But clearly they were factors. Not my fault. I didn't designate him. Cheer for Brentz all you want. ( No love for Ben Taylor?) But if you really wanted him to get a shot, you didn't want him in Pittsburgh. You wanted him on the White Sox, Tigers, or Marlins...

I don't hate Him. I just don't think he's much of a baseball player. And for a baseball player he isn't young anymore. You do realize he isn't going to start for Pittsburgh and might not even make the team out of spring training, which would make him a free agent. Looking at outfielders, Pitt was one of the worst potential landing spots for him along small market teams. Chicago (AL), Detroit or Miami might have been a better all for him. ...
