    No. On the bright side, he’s a good pitcher whose Twitter/X handle is @BuehlersDayOff21. On the downside, he’s only 30 and has already had TJ TWICE!!! No pitcher having a third one has ever pitched again.* Doubtful he gets a long deal, but even a 2-3 year contract stands a far too big of a chance at ending quickly in a pile of dead money and shattered hopes… *Johnny Venters did, but not very well and not for very long.

    But first sign Anthony to a deal similar to that of Jackson Chourio. If Milwaukee can afford it so can Boston

    I doubt Campbell is used in a reserve role, even if it means playing reasonably frequently. Soxprospects.com has/had him penciled in as the starting 2b at one point, and he might get that role. Although now the Sox have 3 good options with him, Hamilton and Grissom. As the only non-40 man player, he probably starts the year in Worcester and doesn’t finish it there…

    And both would have been better than what the Sox did. But in this thread, mvp proposed trading Duran and Abreu to sign Soto. I just provided equal value (on BTV’s model) trades for Duran and Abreu that would fill the pitching need and completed his proposal…

    It means he doesn’t read well…

    Jarren Duran to Philly for Cristopher Sanchez. Two players coming off breakout years with multiple years of control and similar values on BTV. Philly is weak in CF and DD originally drafted Duran. Sanchez, even after an excellent season, is still only their #4 starter. Abreu to Minn for Johan Duran. Again, similar BTV values and Abreu has a similar skill set to Max Kepler, who is now FA. Plus the Twins OF depth took a small hit with the sudden retirement of Alex Kiriloff. Then sign Soto. Sox need a superstar to replace Mookie…

    I had Jhostnyxon as their third most likely to be protected, behind Fulmer and Dobbins. The only question is whether or not they protect 3. I’d think Jhostnyxon isn’t likely to be selected, as very few A ball players are. But we’ve all seen longer odds get taken, and some team like Oakland/Vegas/Sacramento/Narnia might simply because it’s such a low risk move…

    I left out the money because the only comment I heard from Teoscar’s camp was he wanted more years, not more years plus more money. He might have wanted both and explicitly told the Sox as much, but that wasn’t reported. If years mattered to him as much as the stories impressed upon us, they mattered more in Boston than in LA. That’s not a sign he wanted Boston…

    I got the impression DD turned to Sale and Bogaerts only after talks with Mookie broke down…

    Rebuild his value? He went from being a 2.8 bWAR player in 2022 to bring a 2.1 bWAR player in 2023 while playing in a ballpark that every CBO knows surpresses RHH. And at age 32, he is exiting his prime and that extra season of age becomes more limiting than a 0.7 bWAR decrease. If he wanted to rebuild his value, wouldn’t Fenway be a better place than LA for a RHH? Why not ask the Sox for ONE year instead of three?

    Last time the Sox offered Teoscar two years and he told them he needed three. Then the Dodgers offered him one year and he asked “where do I sign?” He gave harder criteria to the Sox - not a sign we’re on his Preferred Destination List…

    Teoscar didn’t want Boston last time…

    The mere thought makes my liver quiver and my bladder gladder…

    It could be worse, Like at Red Wings games when the fans all throw dead octopi on the ice after each opposing goal, a practice that begs several questions. Like How did this start? Did a fan bring a dead octopus to a game? How did he get it past security? Did he throw it on the ice after a goal and everyone around him thought “next time, I’m in”? Do they sell dead octopi at games? Do they recruit bad goalies to bolster sales of dead octopi? Do they have vendors on the stands yelling “Octopi!! Get your dead octopi HEEEYAH!!”? Or did they have Octopi Day where the first 10,000 fans were given a dead octopus? And did those fans get to their seats and think “Hey! What the f*** do I do with this raw, dead, stinky cephalopod?” And as luck might have had it, the opposing team scored at that point? So much to ponder…

    Torii did always seem so affable in interviews. And he remains the one free agent I’ve ever heard admit he signed for the money with the Angels, when he said “my grandma said I’d be stupid to turn down that much money.”

    And take full note of the fact that his grasp of the strike zone hasn’t changed…

    Over the course of 162 games, a Soto-Grisham-Judge outfield is far superior defensively. And Judge certainly is a better RF than Soto, the most questionable Gold Glove nominee in recent years. But Boone felt it necessary to splay Verdugo and his .647 OPS while benching Grisham and his .675…

    It’s Boone’s fault. The Yankees had an excellent defensive centerfielder on their roster, but benched him in order to keep Verdugo and his .647 OPS in the lineup…
  19. notin
    Soto will be a Yankee, a Dodger, a Phillie, or a Met. The rest of the league will either pass or serve as bidding war fodder…
  20. notin
    He actually had a .836 OPS in the World Series. It’s below his career numbers, but it’s not exactly bad…
  21. notin
    He had a better series than Ohtani…
  22. notin
    Betts was the best all around player in the series, but the biggest surprise on defense had to be Teoscar Hernandez…
  23. notin
    They pretty much all make stupid money…
  24. notin
    No. Next question…

    So did Joe Davis just call Mookie the first active player with 3 World Series rings? Did he forget Joe Kelly was his teammate on all three teams?
