    An Abreu trade seems likely, given the rapid ascent of Roman Anthony. And if the Sox sign Soto, they could easily consider moving Duran or Rafaela, due to a suddenly overcrowded outfield. Not sure Rafaela gets you much given his lackluster bat and contract extension. So would they move Duran? Might be a “sell high” opportunity. Of course, selling high is always such a tough decision in any aspect of life…

    Good thing, because Jeffers sucks at those three. Ryan Jeffers is a DH who owns catching gear. If the Sox move Yoshida, he makes more sense as an acquisition…

    Infielder? Barring trades the Sox have Devers, Casas, Story, Hamilton, Grissom, Gonzalez, Campbell, Mayer, and possibly Meidroth. They need another infielder like Fenway Franks need more gelatinized red polymer goo…

    Pedro ended his career as a Phillie. But he didn’t get into Cooperstown because of his achievements in his return to the NL East. It’s like Greg Maddux. You think of him as a Brave, and maybe as a Cub. No one associates him with the Padres or Dodgers…

    A lot of it is because the union wants players to take the most money possible so as to drive up everyone’s salaries…

    Such a high bar…

    Jeffries? Get a catcher who can play catcher. Not one that makes Connor Wong look like Yadira Molina. Christian Vazquez makes more sense if you want a former Twin. Or just sign Danny Jansen, Carson Kelly or Elias Diaz…

    At one point, Mookie’s agent reportedly defined market value at $400mill. We also don’t how much leeway was built into that definition..

    That $50mill won’t even cover parking in NYC…

    So that didn’t work out for him….

    Breslow: “We understand you don’t take our offer if it isn’t the best. But whatever you do instead of Boston, just please don’t go back to the Yankees. Heck we will help the Mets pay for you to stay out of the Bronx.”

    And we’d probably mention Curt Schilling if he didn’t make his timely return…

    There were stories about Mookie adamantly wanting to test free agency. These appear to be false. Or, more likely, leverage from Mookie’s agent. It’s interesting that Mookie denied ever getting a $300mill offer from Boston. That quote left many thinking Boston never topped the $200mill offer, which Scott openly refuted. This creates a unique outcome where, if we assume Merloni was simly rounding up, that his story of a $300mill offer and Betts’ story that no such offer existed are actually both true. Just that Mookie was paying closer attention to detail (which also makes sense, as Merloni was not as close to the situation)…

    I have Wilson on my list of “Players Most Likely To Be Released Before August is Over”. Does that count for anything?

    But this deal is one year. Not like he was signed for 4 years $44mill…

    Teiscar might want to hear what the Mets say about this if they don’t land Soto. And possibly even if they do…

    The second half of that bullpen’s season can’t be unrelated to their decision to never replace their injured starters. Before April was out, two SPs went down and the closest thing to a fifth starter was Criswell, and he didn’t take regular turns in the rotation. Not to mention, Cora clearly didn’t trust him to go deep into games. The Sox need five actual starters, and need to replace anyone who goes down in ST, especially if MLB arms not named Chase Anderson are available…
