Jeter owns the Marlins, not the Yankees. He will make decisions based on what is best for his current team and won't care about his former one. And be realistic. Jeter could urinate all over a statue of Babe Ruth and broadcast it on the YES network and Yankee fans would still love him...

The Marlins don't want all the Sox contracts you don't like for Stanton. The one they might not mind is actually Castillo, because Cubans do have a certain marketing appeal in Miami. But the rest of that trade would have to involve giving up players you prefer to keep. Think of giving up three from Devers, Benintendi Groome, and Chavis. Otherwise if the Marlins are going to be spending all that money, they would just assume spend it on Stanton. If you wete GM of the Marlins, would you trade the best hitter in franchise history for Price, Hanley (who wore out his welcome in that city once already) and others? If you would make that deal, any chance the Marlins will hire you in the next 3 days?

The only reason saves matter is because fans overvalue them...
-
He's a utility infielder. How long were people going to be addicted to him and pretend his defensive versatility was such a rare and irreplaceable commodity? If only Randy Kutcher got this kind of love...
-
And that was good use of Kimbrel in a non-save situation. Is it possible Farrell learned from his mistake the other night?
-
Addison Reed is the new Greg Gagne
-
He can also tell you the advantages of the left nut over the right one when it comes to luxury tax implications..
-
This sounds like a job for the WAPM..
-
True if you live and die by batting average, home runs and RBI.. Not true if you look at BABIP, LD% and all the other numbers available...
-
Perfectly stated...

The logic, which certainly does exist with some managers, that closers are "paid for saves", it's akin to starting players just because they make more money. Which means Sandoval should be starting over Devers for the next two seasons. However last year, Terry Francona introduced the idea of using the best reliever, Andrew Miller, when the game wad on the line, going so far as to occasionally give him the save over the closer Cody Allen. THIS is the smarter way to run the bullpen. And why we really need Francona back...
-
Changing leagues should give him an advantage, since fewer hitters are used to him. As he is a late inning reliever, the whole "DH" thing is moot. I'd bet he never faced a pitcher in his entire NL career...
-
The entire point was that Kimbrel should have been used in the eighth once Reed put the game in jeopardy. If Kimbrel could have gotten out of the eighth - and no Sox reliever was more likely to - than anyone else could have pitched the ninth. Workman has barely pitched in the past 3 years and is much more of a question than answer at this point...

Brentz has struck out in 25% of his at bats in AAA. How much of an upgrade is he over a 0.0 fWAR player?
-
I have no problem replacing Young. I just do think Brentz is any better, and his good season in AAA is more an argument against him than for him, considering how long he took to adjust to AAA pitching. If th e Sox promote him now, will they reap the benefits in 2022? I'd actually rather see Rusney Castillo get the shot, but that isn't happening this year. Although it might next season. For this year, the Sox probably need to find a cheaper Ryan Raburn type lefty masher on the waiver wire. Raburn himself, being in Washington, won't be available. But you get the idea...
-
It's amazing how fast the opinion of Young has fallen. Last year he was terrific, and fans were talking about how necessary it was to extend him. This year fans want him replaced by a career minor leaguer who should have been DFA'd two years ago. ..
-
And yet Reed is still the best setup guy Dombrowski has acquired so far.....
-
Actually Gregorious has a .668 OPS against LHP this year, as opposed to a .910 OPS vs RHP. Abad would have made sense. Of course, bringing in Kimbrel to face Judge would have made even more sense...
-
So after Reed wild pitched Sanchez to second, why didn't Farrell go to Kimbrel? This is a major pet peeve of mine. The game is on the line, the 3-4-5 hitters are up, and you save your best reliever and hope for the best. Saving Kimbrel for the ninth inning to hopefully face the 6-7-8 hitters in that case is flat out stupid. Let someone else face the bottom of the order and get the save...

Debunking the 3 year window myth -- the Red Sox in 2020
notin replied to Fan_since_Boggs's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
No it wouldn't. The Sox championship teams were fun in the past because we never knew they coild do it. No one exp. . Tlted 2004 or 2007 and certainly not 203b. That's what made then fun . The last thing I want to see is Sox team that is a disappointment if it doesn't win.... -
Debunking the 3 year window myth -- the Red Sox in 2020

Chavis is probably trade bait at some point. He's good enough to net a useful piece but not good enough to replace the guy holding his position. ... -
Is Peacock really all that my good this year? He spent a big chunk of the season in the bullpen lowering his peripherals. In terms rotation due to injuries, he's been good. But I wouldn't get worked up about a starter with 4 quality starts and one game in excess of 6IP in mid -August. Porcello's career year last year crushes that. Especially considering Peacock still doesn't have 90 IP for the season....
-
By batting Holt second, Farrell kept all the other hitters in their accustomed spots. I wouldn't over think this one....
-
At this point, Butler may have given up The Dream, or part of it, and keeps coming back because he figures to have a future coaching or managing in the Sox organization, or wherever his contacts wind up working....
-
Actually Butler keeps choosing to return. The Sox traded him to Washington in 2015 and signed him as a minor league free agent after the season. Then they granted him free agency and re-signed him again after 2016...
