A Realistic View of the 2025 Red Sox: Part II
notin replied to moonslav59's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
There are some Fungibles (Eaton, Sogard, possibly Grissom) that can be trimmed if necessary. Moving Hunter Dobbins to the 60 day IL will be the first move made to clear space when it’s needed… -
It’s actually all done with software now. It takes in launch angle, escape velocity, etc. and acknowledges that all, say, batted groundballs hit to shortstop are not equal and some are tougher plays…

Especially now that Devers is having back issues. Although I wish him a speedy recovery…
-
Relievers more likely to be available than Helsley: Carlos Estevez (KC) Felix Bautista and Seranthony Dominguez (Bal) David Bednar (Pitt) Nope. Steven Wilson (CWS) A clear sell high candidate Emmanual Clase (Cle) Reportedly available, but who knows? Kyle Finnegan (Was). Probably best avoided unless he’s dirt cheap…
-
Barring a collapse over the next 2 1/2 weeks, I would agree…
-
Probably, but hopefully Boston doesn’t go higher than Bleis for the 15-20 IP Helsley would get before departing…
-
And St. Louis still wouldn’t bite!
-
Well, let’s not completely blame Cora. I mean, it was Houck out there on the mound serving up meatball after meatball…
-
And Harrison…
-
Dobbins is done for the year. So that does leave the Sox relying on Buehler, who has been awful, or Houck, who this year had the two (not just one, TWO) worst starts in team history…
-
Theres so many teams still in it, the market for any good starting pitcher will be full. RP is just as important. Although losing Dobbins was tough…
-
And suddenly the Little Engine That Could is 12-19 in one run games….
-
The Cubs? They don’t have room in their outfield for the MLB RBI leader…
-
The talk of Duran to 1b, while a good idea, appears to have originated on this board. I don’t think the Sox have any such intentions…
-
Four+ years of Abreu plus Garcia all for two months of Helsley plus two weeks exclusive time to negotiate a deal with him?
-
And if you use fWAR, Helsley has more. Last year, you didn’t like Scott because he only had two good years supporting his career. Helsley might get a QO; he spent Be The wrist reliever to get one. No reliever has ever accepted (although Will Smith extended before receiving a QO he admits he would have accepted)…
-
If you were Helsley, your agent might advise against it and remind you that the inferior Tanner Scott got a slightly lower AAV for multiple years…
-
I’m only talking about being offered one. Six relief pitchers have received QOs to date. Kimbrel, Jansen, Robertson, Iglesias, and for some reason, Greg Holland and Wade Davis. I could see Helsley turning it down in pursuit of a multi year deal…
-
And while Helsley’s BTV value is pretty low, if it is accurate, the Cardinals are potentially better off just offering him a QO and taking the pick. Unless they collapse in the next two weeks, I don’t see him getting dealt unless someone really overpays…
-
Toro has not been a godsend of late, and his history and BABIP strongly suggest he will not be one again anytime soon. Romy is insanely hot right now, but again, reality will set in. I’d think a 1b is likely. Im not sure why “pitching is the biggest need” matters. It’s not like MLB only allows teams to make a limited number of deadline trades. And any prospect dealt for a rental 1b probably wouldn’t bring back a pitcher anyone wanted anyway. It feels more like a way to deflect unwanted conversations…
-
BTV gives Helsley a surplus value of $2.7 million. Their closest matches in the Sox system are Jedixson Paez ($2.9mill), Yophery Rodriguez, Nelly Taylor, and Antonio Anderson (all $2.5mill). To me the real question is - are the Cardinals selling? They are right there in the thick of the NL Wild Card and I don’t see Helsley bringing back the kind of franchise-altering return to justify selling..

If the Twins trade Joe Ryan, the Red Sox should get involved
notin replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
It’s that So Cal lifestyle where they feed those prospects a steady diet of enriched tofu, beet juice, and Stanislozol… -
Yoshida at 1b? He’s like 5’1”! I actually did advocate for Duran. But for a while it looked like 4’2” Andrew Vaughn was an easy and possibly undervalued trade target from a tanking team. But he has since moved on to a team that felt similarly. I think by the end of the month the Sox will trade Duran and acquire a full time starting 1b. And these will probably be two separate moves…
