I like Marrero and think he could have been useful in Boston if they needed a utility infielder. But if I was a GM and needed one, I probably have a similar player already in my organization. And if I wanted Marrero, I know he is definitely going to get DFA'd at some point this off-season, if not this week when Nunez signs, then very likely when the Sox sign Martinez or Morrison or whoever. No rush to trade for him. At the very least, I would wait and see if he gets DFA'd to make room for Nunez. The downside to trading for (or claiming) Marrero is then he has to be on the 25 man roster. However, if he clears waivers, he is free to sign a minor league free agent deal, giving his new team a little more roster freedom...

So since DD's off-season so far has been to re-sign Nunez and Moreland, can we assume Fernando Abad is next?
-
There were colored troops in the Confederate Army, too...
-
And they won the World Series that year. I imagine that helped...
-
It doesn't. It answers a question and probably one posed by the press. If we've been asking that question here, it's certainly come up in his presence one or twice. ...
-
Why would anyone trade for Holt? He struggled last year, is coming off a concussion, makes $2mill, and isn't any better than a dozen or so options still available in free agency that can be had on minor league deals. I wouldn't trade for Marrero either. The writing on the wall is that he will be DFAd and available on a minor league deal without giving up any assets. ..
-
The Sox can't trade Johnson yet. If they have an injury to a starting pitcher in spring training, he's in the opening day rotation. ..
-
I think he's a good candidate but I think he's less likely because he was offered arbitration and he has options left, unlike Brentz and Marrero...
-
My point exactly.
-
There is a big difference between Pedroia telling the press and the fans as opposed to him telling it to the clubhouse...
-
I'd DFA Brentz first but it will probably be Marrero. Of course if Martinez ever signs or the Sox get someone else, the other one (Brentz?) will get DFA'd then...
-
I think that applies to a lot of incidents. I'll open the bidding with chicken and beer...
-
So if the Sox sign Nunez, who gets DFA'd? Brentz? Marrero? Other?.
-
Not so sure you cna ge Cobb and Morrison for the price of Martinez. Cobb's already turned down 3 yrs $42mill...
-
Agreed. He isn't done. And if we're being honest, it looks like he is just starting. He certainly hasn't done anything before this to let me know he's gotten started...
-
So you think the man who once sign Prince Fielder as a replacement for Victor Martinez (and moved Miggy Cabrera to third to accommodate them all) is done here?
-
But this is only one interpretation. None of us really know the entire story, yet it continues to resurface as if we do...

You're looking at Lynn's last 3 fWAR totals and ignoring his missed season. In 2015 through 2017, he was worth 4.5 fWAR. Cashner was worth 4.5 (so I did misspeak about being more productive, but he was as productive) as well in those seasons and Liriano was worth 5.0. (Cobb was worth 2.3). Cobb and Lynn are better pitchers, but neither has been as reliable, which is the entire point. Given that TJ surgery has an average lifespan of about 600 innings, both are high risk to miss more time. As neither Liriano nor Cashner are likely to command the money or years, both are safer options...
-
I'd avoid Cobb and Lynn. Both have missed significant time in the past three years and consequently have been outperformed by Cashner and Liriano over that stretch. And as Cobb and Lynn are more talented, both appear to want more money and years. But both also have issues showing up for work and their recent TJ surgeries would indicate both are more likely to miss a full season during their next deals. At this point, sign Morrison or Duda, Cashner or Liriano, and Watson and Nunez, assuming Nunez is happy with AA super sub role. If Nunez prefers a team that can guarantee him a bigger role, the surprisingly still productive Brandon Phillips might be an excellent stopgap 2B. Or Neil Walker, who is somehow still available and getting no buzz...

Absolutely true. Nor only that, he was standing up for a teammate with a well - known condition (ADD) that has been known to affect his play. The flip side is those type of tirades do tend to create more strife than necessary and this one was probably a big factor in getting him out of Chicago. ..

Was he being a leader when he attacked management over the whole LaRoche thing? I can see reasons to say he was. ..

Hosmer is weak defensively and is maybe the tenth best overall first baseman in MLB. He's absolutely not a guy this team should be tying up long term when they have players like Sale and Betts who would be better use of thst salary...
-
His defensive bWAR component has been below zero in every season of his career. ..

Wow. Worst agent advice ever. "Son, if you don't get the insane amount I think you're with, sit or and take NOTHING. That'll show 'em who's boss! Do they think they're dealing with some rookie who doesn't know how leverage works? "
