Especially without the "last seen fair" rule and the addition of foul poles. Of course, he would no longer be credited for home runs on what would now be ground rule doubles...

Over the last 2 years, Dozier has been worth the same fWAR as Jed Lowrie. The Twins might be MLB's biggest disappointment. Playoffs last year, but this year they are a game behind the Tanking Tigers. Considering 3 of the 5 teams in the AL Central essentially gave up on 2018 before it even began, they shouldn't find themselves in third place as a team trying to contend...

Is he even available? The time to get Scooter Gennett was last year, when he was released by the Milwaukee Brewers...

The Cubs farm is not universally widely regarded as better than the Red Sox farm. Any argument insisting it's better is debatable...

Signing Martinez late was one thing. But coupled with the complete lack of activity from the Sox made it all the more frustrating. Signing Martinez did very likely keep the Sox from getting another big name this off-season, but I'm ok with the early spending in that case.

I will say this - if I was an MLB GM, I would absolutely be targeting Bradley as a buy low piece. Maybe I'd be looking to move a shorter contract to get him....
-
I think I was the loudest of the "just move on" crowd. I don't expect to be GM anytime soon anyway. I might not have been so loud if the Sox had not spent most of the off-season with their biggest acquisition as some guy named Esteban Quiroz. ...

The asking price for Had has been outrageous since his name started appearing in baseball blogs. He isn't coming to Boston. If the Sox add a reliever, I expect them to go get someone like they did last year with Addison Reed. Nate Jones, maybe? Tony Barnette?

Finally, someone properly posts the definition of the word. "Consistency" isn't a good thing if you are consistently bad...

Castillo would be more of an option for Boston if: 1) his contract was not so prohibitive in the wake of the new CBA. Like it or not, this appears to be a reality. And 2) Dombrowski didn't think Castillo was nothing more than a fourth OF.

Does that mean they can finally get rid of Sweet Caroline?
-
Travis isn't really a good trade chip, I agree. But he is MLB-ready, which seems to carry a lot of value. Whether Ockimey or Buttrey have more value is debatable and probably more related to the preference of the other GM. But more important, proves the point about how little the Sox have to offer right now. ...

Does it have to be outrageous? When our best minor league trading chips are Jalen Beeks and Sam Travis, I think we run the risk of having players we simply cannot acquire...

Maybe the Sox are trying to cash in on the success of the recent musical....
-
No. Next question...
-
Dozier is obviously the marquee name there. LeMahieu is another good option, despite the Coors boost. A very underrated name no one is mentioning is Asdrubal Cabrera. I'm not sure if the Sox can meet the asking prices for Dozier or LeMahieu, but I am pretty sure they can meet the Mets' price for Cabrera. (Also, TS posters would avoid the problems with LeMahieu's name and just call him DJLM or something like that.)
-
I'd rather have Bradley than Hamilton. What's the purpose of this trade? To somehow try to downgrade the offense from the CF even more, but without compromising defense? If CF offense is your problem, Billy Hamilton is NOT the solution. Or maybe DD is trying to dump Swihart? Honestly, while this trade won't hurt the team much, if DD makes it, he needs to be fired that day...

But maybe moonslav does
-
I would think this is the number one position to be addressed. The top 2 options are both either disabled or hurting. Hlt has shown himself to be a short-term success story, but a long-term weakness throughout his career. The Sox don't have much to spend and can't afford to take on much money if they stick to their budget. But I would think upgrading 2B (and potentially some of the offense as well) would be at the top of the list...

Think Beeks straight up for Lowrie makes sense for both team
-
Arguably unsustainable stuff. Beane does typically trade for young MLB players with a lot of control or, if he takes prospects, they must be ready for MLB. So while Ball might not be on his wish list, Beeks might be. Not sure if Beeks is enough, but then Lowrie is a rental....
-
Lowrie has been worth 2.3 fWAR. Nunez has been worth -0.8 fWAR. I'm not sure even a Nunez turnaround can make up that gap. ...

Before the penalties go, it is entirely possible JBJ does...

Not really sure you know how trades work...
