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.
-
True. He's not clearing waivers. ..
-
Or the balance sheets? If they had a roster number crunch, why trade for Cron? If they were upset with Dickerson's rough second half, Cron is no answer there either. Cron is cheaper, so the reason Dickerson was let go had to be financial...
-
If he has some awful disease or condition, I would expect Dickerson himself to have a press conference or something. He certainly wouldn't have to, but that would be pretty unprecedented. It is Tampa, so money is certainly a big part of the problem. ..
-
It probably won't happen, but something like that would actually make sense for both teams. But I doubt the Sox make that deal until the JD Martinez saga comes to some sort of conclusion...
-
Then why DFA him mid-deal? I think they found no takers but clearly didn't want to pay $6mill-ish for his second half sub-.700 OPS...
-
That would explain it. You clearly envy me for both of those traits. ...
-
So you made the exact same comment about me and that wasn't being a condescending prick? How does one get this immunity you have?
-
Other than a second half flop at the plate, what could be wrong with him that 29 other teams know about and won't give up an A ball journeyman for? If you think he has health issues, no other team has examined him and HIPPA laws prevent any news about his health..

Or maybe you're the one projecting your stupidity on to others..

I did have someone in mind, but it wasn't you...
-
The thing is, if they were willing to DFA him, they certainly offered him around in deals first and couldn't find any takers. Since they were willing to DFA him and get nothing, they were probably not asking for much, if anything. Still, no takers. And this guy was an All Star last year still making arbitration money. And he has no trade value. But I keep hearing that Bryce Brentz, nearly six months older, does....
-
Sox fans don't want Archer. He'll cost at a minimum - Benintendi. Willing to make the deal?
-
You should try reading some posts on this thread, particularly the ones by cp176...
-
There are absolutely people on this board who would read your statement and take it seriously. They probably still will...
-
So you're saying that if the Sox sign a DH, they should keep Brentz on the 25 man roster on the off-chance he will be the first player in MLB history to spend that much time in the minors and actually maintain his power, which will be on the bench anyway? And in order to keep Brentz, the Sox will instead have to DFA someone else. So who? It could be Holt but then you're paying him $2mill to play for someone else and he didn't need to occupy a 25 man roster spot. Who should they DFA? Swihart? Johnson? A different pitcher? Lin? Bear in mind that Marrero likely gets DFAd once Nunez signs....

It's not about blame. It's about cause, effect, and learning curves. Why is it always about blame?
-
I'm trying to tell you he is a DFA cnadidate and it isn't just the age factor; it's a combination of hi age, lack of options, learning curve, and injury history that make him one. It's not so much about whether or not he "deserves a shot." Does he deserve to be on the 25 man roster over any of the other candidates? Does he deserve it more than Heranandez? Holt? Swihart?
-
Holt has very little upside but he can spend it in Pawtucket. Brentz, Leon and Swihart cannot. I do doubt Leon is a DFA candidate, as that would mean either Swihart is the BUC or they have to add another player anyway. And since Leon is a good defensive catcher, might as well keep him even though he will never hit again like he did in 2016...
