Polanco has a cheap team option. Hes not going to see free agency for another year…
-
Alonso wants 7 years, but he doesn’t seem to in touch with his market value, which is why he is a free agent again. Ive seen 6yr $186mill projections. But is anyone going $31 AAV on him for 6 years? I think closer to 5 yrs maybe $150mill. And at that price he might be a better deal than Bregman…
-
Isn’t that what this sight is for? It’s not like Breslow is reading my posts or and thinking “hmmm.. I hadn’t thought of that. But it’s crazy enough that it just might work.” How many players in this market would you go 9 figures on? With contracts they would sign, of course. Because not one of the available FAs is putting his name on a deal for $1000 a year for 100,000 years…
-
(Oops on Aroldis. Had his name on my mind and didn’t type it. Arguments can be made about the significance of Refsnyder.) No on punting. But then i don’t think not signing Pete Alonso equals punting. Are you suggesting the Sox should just sign players to nine figure deals because they’re “best available”?

Mookie Betts Is Officially On The Wrong Side Of His Contract
notin replied to King Koji's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
II thinks it’s fair to credit his teammates as well for the WS appearances. Betts does have at least three teammates headed for Cooperstown… -
Why is the Sox window “now”? We have Crochet, Anthony, Bello, and Rafaela locked up. Three (plus?) more years of Duran and/or Abreu. The only significant players reaching free agency before 2028 are Story and Houck. And I might be stretching the definition of “significant” there…

Mookie Betts Is Officially On The Wrong Side Of His Contract
notin replied to King Koji's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Again? His OPS+ after 6 years in LA is higher than it was after 6 seasons in Boston… -
FTFY
-
The diminutive Yoshida at 1b? He’s like the only major leaguer that looks up to see Andrew Vaughn! So yeah, ok…
-
In both cases, he was avoiding the phallic reference. Simple as that…
-
With Casas, the question is timeline. Other than him saying he wants to be ready for opening day, there has been nothing. It’s nice to see I’m not alone on Yoshida Island…
-
The Mariners won ONE MORE GAME than the Red Sox did. And yes, that clearly means they play in a weaker division…
-
Rowdy Tellez, if he finds work again. If not, Giancarlo Stanton…
-
Fangraphs only has pull data for Mo Vaughn from his time with the Mets, but it was 50.7%. by then...
-
Of course, how much they have to spend and how much they are willing to spend are, in all likelihood, two very different numbers...
-
So you think thw way to improve is to adda 34yo player who posted a 107 OPS+ with a negative dWAR from 2021 to 2024? Suarez just isn't much outside any more of Arizona. Based on StatCast profiles, I'd take Bell over Suarez...
-
That's a possibility, too...
-
Status quo on a 92 Pythagorean-win team is a bad thing? Chances that you are disappointed come March might be well above 90%. Also your summary isnt accurate. Team leader in starts at 1b was Toro and at 2b was Campbell…
-
Unless they try to upgrade starting catcher and pushing Narvaez to a reduced backup role. They still might keep Wong, because he has played other positions and could still be useful as a third catcher with experience at 2b, 3b and corner OF. Not many teams carry three catchers with these 4 man benches. Last year, only St. Louis (and thats three catchers without counting Willson Contreras) and the Cubs did that I can recall…
-
Yeah it ruined Williams, Yastrzemski, Ortiz, Vaughn, etc…
-
I only see Hicks moving if the Sox are taking back significant salary. I could see teams wanting him, but not for $25mill over 2 years. The only Hicks deal I’ve thrown out there was to Atlanta for Sean Murphy (3 yrs $45mill). Atlanta has shown they like Drake Baldwin playing every day, but that doesn’t mean they want to unload Murphy…
-
There is no one blatantly better, but Wong doesn’t shine over a lot of them either. I could see brining him back, but I don’t think it’s such a lock. I also think it’s possible the Sox try to upgrade at starting catcher and let Narvaez be the backup…
-
If the Sox have $45mill to spend, there is a 0% chance they spend it all on two players. Especially if that figure has to include arbitration raises. I do have my doubts they deal Hicks. He was the one player from the Devers trade Breslow talked up. And maybe if no one foolishly tries to make him a stater, he can return to being the decent RP he was on St. Louis, occasionally once again touching 105 mph on the radar gun. (That is not a typo.) I’m hoping the Sox are not so dumb as to trade a former consensus top 5 prospect and AL Rookie if the Month simply because he struggled for 100 PA…
-
Casas is a no-brainer to offer arbitration to, especially if you’re a team that frequently pays SPs $10mill to rehab from TJ for a year. In his only full season, Casas had an .856 OPS with 25HRs. That’s pretty serious potential to skimp $2-3 mill on for a team that currently would be starting Romy Gonzalez at 1b. (Assuming Nate Lowe does get non-tendered, which he should.)
-
Casas actually isnt the slowest player in MLB, but he got closer to that honor with the retirement of Martin Maldonado. He is in the bottom 10 per StatCast. Not the bottom ten percent. The bottom 10…
