    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..

    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..
  8. 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.

    What’s the difference between Buehler and Means? They’re one year apart in age, and both injured all the time. Buehler is slightly healthier (which isn’t saying much), but Means is a better pitcher…

    I don’t think titles justify every move. Trading Bagwell for Andersen was never going to be a good move, regardless of the final outcome that season…

    It would hardly be surprising if his rapid drop in performance followed by TJ surgery were both connected events. There are precedents, including current Sox minor leaguer Michael Fulmer, who just fell apart for no apparent reason while pitching out of the Cubs’ bullpen, and then had his second TJ. (Not sure why, after two TJs, Breslow is contemplating a return to the rotation for Fulmer.)

    It’s arguable they overpaid for Story, but there are two clear sides. What’s inarguable is that they “jumped” on him and didn’t do their due diligence. A couple days ago on this forum I said a lot of people view signings they don’t like as the result of laziness or sloppiness by the front office, strongly implying if these people put in the work, things would work out better. Now I do not know everything that does into signing an MLB free agent, but I am far more than 100% confident in believing that process is more thorough and involved than most realize (myself includes).. We are talking in many cases about nine figure transactions, but want to believe they’re being done apathetically, quite often to justify a choice in player that we didn’t agree with…

    So dont trade Casas. Because you can absolutely NOT get a young top of the rotation starter for him…
  23. notin
    So the Sox unloaded Cam Booser to the White Sox for some 18yo Venezuelañ kid named Yhoiker Fajardo. I assume this was done to open up a roster spot for Sandoval and not some other forthcoming move…

    Apparently the plan is to play Cody Bellinger in CF. Somewhere in the country right now, a very disappointed Trent Grisham is screaming “WHAT THE f***!!”

    At one point, Rickey was the all time career leader in three categories - stolen bases, runs and walks, until Barry Bonds surpassed him in walks. It’s a small list for players who sat atop of three categories. And he is still the all time leader in the other two. One of the greatest offensive players ever…
