    Fulmer is the least risky, seeing as to how he has a decent MLB resume. I also think teams might be intrigued by the defense/speed/versatility of Max Ferguson…

    I believe the Sox are ineligible to draft due to having a full 40 man roster. Potential losses: Michael Fulmer, Max Ferguson, Corey Rosier, Yodanny Monegro Long shot: Blaze Jordan Most likely outcome: Just Fulmer…

    Like that one? Some of my finest BS…

    This argument goes beyond Straw Man, right past Stick Man and directly to Brick Man on the Three Little Pigs scale. Alcantara is an elite talent, but his backloaded contract is entering the two priciest years, a point where Miami quite often sells. Arguments that they might want him to pitch to increase his value are easily offset by arguments they don’t want to risk him pitching and being ineffective or getting hurt again. Now I’m not sure he is actually available, but if he is, the post TJS surgery risk, while not non-existent, is certainly not high based on plenty of league wide data. And said risk is probably less than the success rate of even top prospects living up to their hype. With his third very affordable option year, Alcantara should absolutely be worth dealing even Campbell for. I would be hesitant if they insisted on Anthony, but not necessarily immediately out…

    He’s been a consistent 3 bWAR player over his career…

    I will say that for so-called Untouchables. Everyone agrees with the caveat about moving a player “in the right deal.” But that’s not the same as moving an Untouchable for players that are actually available…

    Do you think the Cubs regret dealing Gleyber Torres for Aroldis Chapman? It’s one thing to deal Fernando Tatis Jr. for James Shields. But sometimes trading a future star does work out anyway…

    There’s enough post TJS history out there to allow for a very safe guess.

    Would you trade Campbell (plus?) for Sandy Alcantara? He can be controlled for the next 3 years for $55mill…

    But sometimes a prospect’s main contribution in MLB is just playing passably for minimum wage…

    If you’re ever playing the shell game, it turns out you really cannot say “one of those three “…

    You do realize it’s December 10th, right?

    And you should care. Your dad was probably up half the night perfecting that signature!

    Andres Gimenez to Toronto…

    Are Diaz and Grandal really better than Vazquez?

    Burnes wants money. Lots and lots of it. Like Scrooge McDuck levels. That’s my interpretation of him. Again, he won a Cy Young and still lost his arbitration hearings. Either he’s asking for waaay to much cash or he wants something teams can’t give him. Like a small island in the Pacific or a pet baby unicorn…

    They’ll just dial back on the ol’ health insurance again…

    Reportedly, but the Jays go in on everyone and no one has signed there since Kevin Gausman…..

    The Yankees can probably get both Fried and Bregman for what they’re not paying Soto…
  21. notin
    Grandal?? Didn’t he catch Koufax at one point?
  22. notin
    Fried seems more likely at this point, which doesn’t mean much. But it’s probably going to be another case of paying a pitcher in his 30s for what he did in his 20s. If the Sox move Casas, they may need Mayer…
  23. notin
    Bregman will be on their radar as well…

    Of all the pitcher names the Sox are connected to, I put Crochet atop my list…

    Most likely, Sale made it a contingency on waiving his 10/5 rights. The extension was announced two days after the trade. Certainly Atlanta didn’t decide in that 48 hour stretch that they’d seen something in Sale worth adding two years, especially given the spotty health history he had at the time. Almost always if a team offers an extension (or.picks up an option) that quickly after a trade, it’s because it was done to get the player to waive some rights…
