    A lot of people might not realize it, but Rickey’s baseball career ended only 19 years ago. He retired from MLB after the 2003 season, but played 2 more years of independent league ball, in which he stole 53 bases and was only caught 4 times. He was ages 45 and 46 for those seasons…

    And Abreu, the Unloved Gold Glover. That they’re talking to Grichuk could mean Abreu is still the opening day RF…

    That means he’s either got garlic in his soul or termites in his smile. Either way it leads to having all the tender sweetness of a seasick crocodile…

    It seems odd to replace our most durable pitcher with one of the least durable ones in all of MLB. But the reality is this team is already better than the one that finished 5 games out of the postseason last year…

    His metrics have him roughly average, but he’s only logged 548 innings at 3b over 4 seasons. I think Devers is the 3b next season, much to the chagrin of the pitching staff. That so many in the org want Bregman for 2b just re-enforces my belief that Cora cares very little about defense…

    Given now that the rotation has Crochet, Houck, Bello, Buehler, Giolito, and Crawford, maybe one of them is the new RP. Or trade bait for a catcher or 3b..

    If we’re going internal, go with Romy. Which, if he can maintain last year’s exit velocity, might not be a bad thing. Although I’m fairly certain he had a disproportionate number of plate appearances against LHP. Grissom might work, too…

    The Sox can get Bregman for 3 years. Just let him sign elsewhere and then trade for him in four years. Or they could just trade for Arenado now…

    Had the Dodgers extended a QO, it’s extremely likely Buehler would have accepted it. Since he just accepted the same money/years with Boston…

    I have no faith in Buehler, but Breslow clearly does, scratching out Nick Pivetta’s name on that check and replacing it with Buehler’s. And I’ll root for Walker to do we’ll…

    Oh he was cocky as hell. Cockiness might be the one thing he was better at than baseball…

    According to multiple players around the league, he would arrogantly announce his stolen base attempts by yelling “Rickey gone!” before each one.

    So Buehler plus Sandoval equals one pitcher..
  14. notin
    I would have liked Manaea, but I wanted no part of Luzardo. Coming off back surgery, no one knows how he’ll hold up…

    And they’re both fringey RHP, except for Arenado..
  16. notin
    We got Arenado?

    Then you’re going to be very disappointed when you learn the Sox haven’t signed a single one of the 2025-26 MLBTR top 50….

    So.. the Giants…

    “Safer” is a relative term. Just because something is safer than something else didn’t mean it is safe. If you want to know why Sandoval is safer than Buehler or Means, his injury history is much less than either…

    For a 34yo? It’s fair value. Not like Walker is 31…

    I do think it’s getting a bit overboard with building next season’s staff. It’s not a bad thing, but it’s frustrating sometimes. But the Sox did add Crochet, which feels like it’s getting overlooked. And the rotation even as it stands now is actually pretty good…

    Hey they were better than Eric Hosmer and Luis Urias…

    It’s also only December 21st, and it’s certainly not uncommon for moves to come later. As of now, only 17 of the MLBTR Top 50 have signed, including only 4 of the top 11. It’s not like everyone else in MLB is out there lapping us. Also it’s very important to use only broad categories so as to make sure people don’t go thinking there is a difference between Garrett Crochet and Justin Wilson. Don’t let them fool you!!

    The Sox will have 10 starting pitchers on the 40 man roster once they add Sandoval. (Booser was traded yesterday to create room.). They have already taken steps to replace Crawford…

    Buehler is another Rehab Project, and I think people cling to him because they like the high ceiling. But this is a pitcher whose career includes parts of 7 seasons spanning 8 years with 12.2 career bWAR, 7.1 of which came in one year back in 2021. I don’t think that’s his ceiling anymore. He might be safer than Means. In the long run, Sandoval is definitely the smarter, safer choice.
