    Unless they shrink-flated the seats…

    Kluber was a 3 fWAR pitcher the year before. That has to count for something…

    Also, none of it matters to anyone else…

    But his signing of Strahm shows he can make a shrewd, cost effective signing if he needs to…

    This seems like one of those Star Hoarder ideas. The Sox could get a RHH platoon bat to upgrade the offense and not go around collecting All Stars all willy nilly just because some other team does…

    I think a median would better demonstrate mid level instead of a mean. Granted, a median is a tall order to get…

    I just question whether Kluber, Richard, etc. constitute dumpster diving. Bernardino? Littell? Schreiber? Those guys and a few more are what I consider “dumpster diving.”

    I promoted dealing him because he was redundant in CF with Rafaela. Interestingly enough, I was always told he wasn’t good enough to bring back good pitching…
  9. notin
    Not any more. He let Zack Eflin walk and signed Matt Strahm for much less. He’s playing a different game in Philly…

    I struggle to think of that as a dumpster dive, especially for one year. Matt Strahm got 2 years $15mill in Philly and is an All Star this year. Is he a dumpster dive?

    And Casas has a career OPS+ of 127. Is this really a significant upgrade?
  12. notin
    Even Dombrowski brought in guys like Hector Velasquez and Sean O’Sullivan. Did Bloom really dumpster dive for starters? He signed a lot of guys like Kluber, Richards, Perez, etc. but these weren’t cheap and not off the scrap heap. I might have a different interpretation on what constitutes a dumpster dive?

    Are pitching prospects better trade capital? They tend to be more volatile, which might be why we got two of them for Alex Verdugo…

    I like my simple plan. One from Eflin, Eovaldi, Kikuchi or Tyler Anderson One RHH bat that can be worked into the lineup. Mark Canha is an excellent fit One dirt cheap start solely for depth. Chris Flexen fills this need. One second baseman (if necessary)

    So… no earth-shattering trades? Garret Crochet is on the block. Unless your offer is offer is headlined by Nick Yorke or David Sandlin…
  16. notin
    Guerrero is a pipe dream. The Sox have been trying to extend Casas…
  17. notin
    Crochet will be moved before then. 2.3 years of Crochet is worth more in a trade than just 2 years…
  18. notin
    It’s been established that picture was actually not from that day…

    There isn’ta team out there whose starting rotation wouldn’t be upgraded with the addition of a former Cy Young winner…

    Bloom is irrelevant in the Mookie Drama. Dombrowski tried to extend Mookie going as far back as 2017, but was never allowed to meet Mookie’s contractual demands. Bloom was just the hatchet man for that trade…

    So… thirty incompetent teams? He’s got some negative PR. Although we can watch Marcell Ozuna, who might carry more baggage, playing in the All Star game tomorrow…

    You can only buy what’s being sold. If the Sox stay in the rental market, they’d be stupid to unload one of the top prospects. That would be Bagwell-Andersen 2.0…
  23. notin
    If they stick to the rental market, this won’t be a problem. If they go after Garrett Crochet or Tarik Skubal (whom they are reportedly out on), you’re not getting those types without at least one of the Big Three…
  24. notin
    Ok, but he pushed it back for the guaranteed year…
  25. notin
    I am not so sure Sale missed all that time just from TJ. For example, he missed the beginning of the 2022 season because he broke a rib in his off-season pitching program. In 2023, he had shoulder inflammation. I’m not saying these aren’t complications from TJ surgery. But I’m not convinced they are, either…
