No one still trade anything worthwhile for Brentz. Do Bryce a favor and simply DFA him for the purposes giving him an unconditional release. ...
-
He also shouldn't let this drag into spring training. If Martinez insists on more money, he can't showing up late for work. ...
-
If Hosmer turned down that offer from San Diego, he should for Boras now. Turn down $20mill annually to live in the city in the USA? For a player who isn't exactly the best player?
-
Yes but only 99 44/100% possible.
-
Gardner had 2.6 fWAR in 2015 and 2.4 fWAR in 2016. Not bad seasons, but also not over 3 fWAR. ..
-
I think we all know how this plays out. Martinez finally caves in and signs with Boston and then breaks his arm on opening day. Stop looking in one basket, DD...
-
And Esteban Quiroz. Don't forget him. After all, he does represent 50% of Dombrowski 's work these past 11 weeks...
-
Holt and Hernandez both have options. It could a case of one winning the starting job and the other heading to Pawtucket...
-
Hey, if JD has better offers or offers he likes better, he can take them. If not and he settles for less, it won't reflect well on Boras. The Sox will have to settle for a lesser DH option for a year, but they will save for a good down payment for Manny Machado...
-
I'm sure the Diamondbacks are all smiles and giggles over the prospect of swapping Pat Corbin for Jacoby Ellsbury. He can create that void in centerfield left there by AJ Pollock's (eventual) departure...
-
And who would you move first and why?
-
But would you trade 3 years of Bradley for one year of Salazar? How about two months of Salazar?
-
But there is a big difference between giving up a good prospect and giving up a good prospect for 2 months of a new player. Epstein also dealt similarly ranked Eloy Jimenez, whom he presumably loved, but in return got several years of extremely underpriced Jose Quintana
-
I'd have no problem if they brought Clay back, but 1 year is preferable to two. ..
-
He shipped out two guys with value to upgrade. Adam Warren and Rashad Crawford were not a guys carrying a ton of value. The team already had the best record in the NL and was "winning now".
-
The one reason I'd be suspicious about Torres is that Epstein gave him up for a rental player. If Dombrowski did that, that's his thing. But it isn't Epstein's, unless he suspects something himself. .
-
That can't be legal. I'm sure he's just encasing them in carbonite...
-
Actually Cashner might not be a bad 5th starter. He's done a reasonable job maintaining his velocity over the past 4 years, although its nowhere near where it used to be. He's been maintaining ground ball rates and his HR/9 plummeted last year, which, if it isn't an aberration, is certainly a good sign. That his infield fly percentage shot up might be a good indication he has learned how to pitch up in the zone like Lester used to. He is, however, an unexciting addition. But the exciting ones are very expensive and probably not going to be worth it...
-
I get that. I was among those who didn't want to deal Blake Swihart for Cole Hamels (and his huge contract). And now Swihart is our backup catcher / utilityman, assuming he makes the team at all..
-
I heard they were all encased in carbonite...
-
The most underrated of the bunch is probably Francisco Liriano, who has been worth 5.0 fWAR over the past 3 seasons (which is more Lance Lynn and more than double Alex Cobb in the same timeframe). However, Liriano is 34 years old and not likely improving much. Although his limited action last year (97 IP) might have helped some wear and tear on the arm. He also has a long history of control issues, and the Sox might not be too keen on another LHSP. Andrew Cashner (4.5 fWAR) and Jeremy Hellickson (4.4 fWAR) are RHSP options. Cashner is the only one of the three whose fWAR total isn't largely carried by one season...
-
That may not be too far out of line with the offers the Sox are receiving, which is why they still have Johnson...
-
SF likely wouldn't. No need for HanRam and it only saves them about $2.3mill per year AAV. And makes them a worse team...

It's always funny when people try to justify the new hype as being radically different from the old identical hype. It is a VAST understatement to say Montero was only considered a 1B/DH type, Yankee fans were spouting he was the next Miguel Cabrera on a vriety of message boards. He was a BA Top 10 prospect 3 times. There was a lot of "can't miss" in the hype. Of course, he did miss. By a lot. It was a really bizarre deal when he was dealt for Pineda, being a rarity that two young, controllable high profile players were swapped for each other. And Pineda was clearly the better get, but he was also - and apparently still is - a walking DL stint. He missed so much time it was difficult to keep track of how long he was with the Yankees. Torres might be great. But if he can't hit, he might end up as a utility infielder. Or, if you prefer, a utility infielder who could have gotten you Gerrit Cole...

Is that really any better than Musgrove, Feliz, Martin and Moran? Bear in mind, they reportedly liked Martin to some extent. I really doubt Deven Marrero would make a difference in any trade either way. (Yet I would keep him on the 25-man roster ahead of Holt.)
