    Regardless of what you think, they're not going to overhaul a team that won 89 and 87 7games in the past 2 years. They probably only add one bat,, and it isn't going to be De La Cruz,,,

    I don't think Cincy is trading Elly. And if they are, I imagfine other teams with betteroffers will be stepping up. Atlanta would jump in fron of us in line for him. Who was their SS last year? Anyone remember?

    Well, Semien was only mentioned as an example of a bad contract swap. Jazz will be a free agent. And some of us prefer to mention names that are actually available or potentially available when we bring them up. Wait until I tell you who the next up-and-coming power hitter is going ot be in 2027. You won't believe me at all... But is someone the Sox should absolutely target, although not sure his team is interested in moving him ...

    Or not look at SS as a position for an upgrade. Gven the very weak FA class, any team looking to move a star player like Neto or De Le Cruz is in the driver's seat for their demands. The simplest path might be to sign Jazz Chisholm for 2b, especially if the Yankees as rumored are not offering hima QO (per MLBTR). Hold Story as a placeholder for Arias. Chisholm 2b (granted, not an ideal OBP) Anthony LF Contreras 1B Abreu RF Mead DH Rutschman C Rafaela CF Story/Arias SS Durbin 3B It does give the Sox a better top of the order than they had this year. Then you need to replace Gray, who likely declines his half of the mutual option. Michael King? Trevor Rogers? Shota imanaga? Freddy Peralta? There are at least decent pitching options. It turns out you can put all your eggs in the Story/Arias basket if you're counting on them to bat 8th or lower. They could also put Mead at 2b and take the defensive hit, but it's not like there are good DH options in this class..,

    I doubt Houston trades Yordan right after he wins MVP. Especially since he is still under contract through 2028.

    I’d like to recommend some content changes to the show called Beat Bobby Flay. I think it would be better and less misleading if there was no cooking…
  7. notin
    Contreras has anger issues and Marte gets sad and flaky. That could go very wrong very fast…
  8. notin
    Right. If you think every bad contract “needs to be unloaded” as it nears expiration, then you have no business playing in that type of free agency at all…
  9. notin
    Why? We probably have 10-15 players that fit that description already. That trade does nothing to make the Sox better…

    Then in the case of a player like Fabian that you were never expecting to be available when your pick came up, you should pass on him?
  11. notin
    But nowadays everybody knows about everybody. The Sox no doubt heard of Báez, but so did all the other MLB teams. The whole advantage that he’s local is gone now…
  12. notin
    Damnit. They’ve been good…
  13. notin
    Be fair. Fabian was talked about as an early to mid-first rounder who fell due to some injury issues. I get taking that chance. Yes, they passed on the Gatorade Massachusetts Player of the Year, but let's not pretend that is automatically some harbinger of a bright MLB future. Someone wins that award every year and I bet most of us have never heard of between 99% and 99.9999% of them...
  14. notin
    Always the boring possibility that they deal him somewhere along with $15-18mill for an A-ball reliever in his mid-20s and a 93mph fastball...
  15. notin
    And Oviedo. Kutter just seems to be piling injury on top of injury lately. I wonder if he even gets tendered a contract. He hasn't pitched in two years...
  16. notin
    H was a top 50-60 propect 8 years ago that has had onegood year two years after he contemplated returing from baseball.. I'd pass. There are other former top prospects on the market with better careers that I'd avoid as well. Jazz Chisholm might be the only free agent position player I'd like the Sox to consider, especially if the early reports are true that the Yankees will not be extending a QO (assuming the QO is still a thing)...

    He’s basically Mickey Gasper…
  18. notin
    And that there is a massive gray area between Tampa and the Dodgers, and the Sox are in it…
  19. notin
    Those both might point to Story departing. He’s not needed. I think if anything he just gets DFAd. But bad contract swap is option B…

    As long as NBC loses money…

    Devers wasn’t playing 3b here when he was traded. He has played 1 game at third base since 2024. His days at 3b have been over for for a while now,…
  22. notin
    It was more of a statement about you and your perception of Breslow’s MO. You know, since you get invited to all the meetings. I don’t know how Breslow feels about Story, but if he does try to trade him, I don’t see hetting back anything more exciting than Semien…
  23. notin
    Sox don’t need a 3b. And Devers doesnt play 3b anymore anyway, and most likely never will again…
  24. notin
    Plays every day with a good Fenway swing? It’s worth contemplating. Especially if all the Sox are giving up is one year of Trevor Story….
  25. notin
    Did you foresee Brez sending Eyanson, Witherspoon, Narvaez and Rivas for Rutschman? Do you have any track record with predicting Breslow’s deals? Do you not get how examples work?
