    Is Adell and his .653 OPS really the cure for an ailing offense? Gleyber Torres makes more sense IMO. Although they’re not taking back Yoshida. (Neither are the Angels.)

    Correa is out for the year. Semien hasn’t had an OPS north of .700 since 2023. Adames is the Sylvester Stallone of shortstops - big name, big paycheck, no range. Chapman certainly makes sense. Another nane that might sneak into the discussion is Xander Bogaerts. Plenty of reasons to avoid him, starting with a contract that lasts 7 more years at $25.4 mill per. But he is definitely available for Yoshida, and San Diego might take another questionable deal as well. And he is a PR boom since he’s a fan favorite. From this list, none dazzle me. Maybe Chapman…

    So then why was Boston wrong for keeoing them over Meidroth?
  4. notin
    Meidroth to date is Nick Sogard. I expect Meidroth to surpass Nick as he is 4 years younger. But I’d still rather have Sogard and Crochet…

    You do realize the Sox traded him for their ace that finished second in Cy Young ladt year, right? Would you prefer Crrochet or Meidroth on your team? And if your argument is he was the obvious better prospect than Campbell’s or Mayer, then why do you think CWS accepts either of them over Meidroth?

    Pivetta was offered a QO but declined. No trade.
  7. notin
    IKF. You know, the guy everyone wants released…
  8. notin
    Are they? Teel is injured and Montgomery is still in the minors, but I live in Chicago and Meidroth Mania is very well under control. Now Murakawi Mania and Colson Montgomery (no relation) Mania are running wild…

    Meidroth is a prototypical slap hitter who stands deep in the box and hangs back to get a longer look at pitches. It’s not quite the same as actual plate discipline. He will see more pitches per AB but it doesn’t mean he walks more and it usually cuts into power numbers. I agree he has a limited ceiling. He basically tops out as a slightly better Nick Sogard…
  10. notin
    And Chicago very likely does that deal with someone else in place of Meidroth. Teel and Montgomery were the clear targets…
  11. notin
    If Meidroth is the better player, it’s not just the Sox that were fooled. Campbell and Mayer were universally ranked among the top ten prospects in MLB. No one ranked Meidroth anywhere…

    Pic is not loading, but I assume it’s Harrison? In a trade involving 2 players with 5+ years of control, it’s premature to declare it a bust after 2 months..
  13. notin
    Being the better player today doesnt mean he will always be. Campbell was sent back to work on things. It’s possible that his light AAA numbers are impacted by this. And depending on what he is working on, it could heavily steer his batting line negatively. I doubt the Sox have given up on Campbell like you have.

    So the rest of the way, Contreras will only have 2HRs and -0.1 fWAR? Sell, sell, sell!
  15. notin
    Or possibly instead of Montgomery. Meidroth might have still been in either configuration
  16. notin
    And why would Boston have done that? Is the issue that the Sox aren’t psychic? Or did you think 2 years of Crochet should have cost three BA Top 50 prospects? Or is this just over the type of thing every team does multiple times? Stop confusing Chase Meidroth with Jeff Bagwell as the one who got away. The next Chase Meidroth won’t be too far along…

    This year who doesn’t?

    The Sox clearly store their bats there…
  19. notin
    Right. But nothing to flu with analytics. Basically they had a max figure and they went that high. According to Zack Scott, their AAV was very close to the Dodgers’ offer, but they were two years shorter…
  20. notin
    Mookie wasn’t traded due to advanced mathematical analysis; he was traded because he wanted more money than Boston was willing to offer. Had Boston used his value in WAR and determined his worth that way, they would have signed him . But thats clearly not what they did…
  21. notin
    You might call those jumps late. But to others they were fashionable…
  22. notin
    CG Era? You lost me. Dombrowski originally signed Rafaela. Bloom traded Vazquez for Abreu (and Enmanuel Valdez)…
  23. notin
    Cynicism…
  24. notin
    Plus he has that Trash Can Stink as far as I’m concerned.

    While the world is full of folks that might benefit from a good brain-bashing, plenty of folks di learn in time about the concept of humility. Some even go that extra mile to learn that there actually is a world of difference between humility and humiliation…
