If Tampa couldn't find a taker for $6mill All Star Corey Dickerson, I don't think the market for Brentz is going to be so robust we can get a capable pitcher for him...
-
Outside the box, but certainly possible..
-
A DFA fOr Holt saves the most cash as his arbitration salary is not guaranteed yet. Hanley could go and that prevents his option from kicking in, but seriously depletes their depth. Batting significant injuries, it's almost impossible for all of Marrero, Brentz and Swihart to make the team anyway
-
The Sox can save $2mill if they DFA Holt, which might happen because they need to clear a spot on the 40-man. They could trade Bradley, but will any pitcher they get back make less than $6mill?
-
So it's time again to play our least favorite game - who gets DFAd? Last time it was the unforeseen Ben Taylor. Toady's candidates include, but are not limited to, Bryce Brentz, Deven Marrero, Brock Holt, Blake Swihart, Brian Johnson, and Roenis Elias. Any others? Holt and Elias have options. My guess is Bryce Brentz. But who knows?
-
Cody Brannon is 19 and has only played rookie ball. He's more than one year away, assuming he ever makes it at all...
-
With Martinez on board, that leaves 3 bench spots to Ramirez, Swihart, Marrero, Brentz and Holt. I'm assuming only an injury gets Hernandez on the roster. And from that set, only Holt can be demoted. So unless.a trade is made, it does look like bad news for Brentz. And possibly for Marrero as well, since we all know Holt isn't getting demoted. Now if Hanley gets DFAd....

Unless Moreland starts....

f*** LOOGYs. They're a bad strategy. All they do is make the rest of the bullpen work harder by not doing their fair share. Are left-handed hitters really so difficult to get out that we need both special relievers and the shift to handle them?
-
But can you out pizza the Hut?
-
Well it was all hush hush in the media....
-
It only took until February 19th for DD to add his first new player top the roster! !!
-
Would you deal Swihart and Johnson for Dickerson?
-
Swihart may also be who the Rays would prefer in a trade for Dickerson. ....
-
Dickerson would be a good acquisition. The Sox have a chance to work out a deal before he hits waivers in a few days. Once he does, forget about him. harmony proposed Johnson/Brentz for Dickerson. I suppose it's possible, but also a beatable offer...
-
All pretty close. But the WAPM is historically the most accurate.
-
The WAPM has spoken! A better season, albeit not a freakish breakout. .276/.357/.447 (.804 OPS) with 18 HRs for Bogaerts. (Worth pointing out the WAPM does better for mid season hot streaks.) Steamer is projecting .290/.353/.445 with 16HRs. I don't like it when I'm that close to Steamer...
-
This puts Holt at risk for DFA as well. Although his option might give him a slight advantage over Marrero and Brentz. ..
-
JBJ is staying. DD has already turned down multiple offers...
-
If Bogaerts is healthy, I could see a breakout. I may need to dust off the WAPM and see...
-
Since Holt is still in arbitration, can't he be released at some point this spring with the Sox only paying 30 days worth of salary, much like the Rays did with Dickerson?
-
Hosmer isn't coming here. Ever been to San Diego? Trust me; he's staying put for 8 years. ....
-
Unless it's a fairly big impact reliever (Holland?), it might not be worth it as it will only add to and not solve roster crunch issues...
-
A name no one considered. With all the Sox infield depth, one has to wonder what blackmail does Deven Marrero have on Dombrowski. ...
-
No one will want that contract.
