    Again. 3 innng between May 26 and August 11. Injured shoulder. Clearly injured in 2023, and just because he was on the active roster on the last day of the year doesn’t change that. On the heels of pitching only 50 IP total the 3 previous years, this was a concern. And it should have been one.

    He pitched 3 innings between May 26and August 11. Was that PTO?

    Right. All season while Sale was cruising through NL lineups, there was all of this “but past injuries blah blah blah” and “you don’t trade pitching when you need pitching” (despite Sale’s frequent absences being the number one reason the Sox needing pitching). But now after not counting on a pitcher coming back from injury being the wrong thing, apparently counting on one coming back is, too. Hey, you set yourself up for another year of complaining, which was your goal. Please take it to SAWXHEADS…

    Danny Jansen is an outstanding blocking catcher as well..

    So now the Sox AREN’T supposed to count on pitchers coming off injury?

    Why? Are the Sox moving next season? Or does this mean maybe or pitching is pretty good after all?

    I don’t think anyone is going to trade Duran this off-season, barring the usual caveat. O’Neill will be somewhere else. But not Duran. Story will (hopefully) be back, which may or may not bolster the offense. But he represents improvement at two defensive positions, which in theory could reduce how much offense is needed. ..

    Since OPS is scaled from 0 to 5.000, wouldn’t a .300 difference really be 6%? Not that it matters much, because no one knows what it’s 6% of…

    So far, the only rumor is Adames, who will require something large and long. Not in the same neighborhood as Soto, but maybe close to Alonso. I’d be surprised if the Sox get even close to an offer for Adames. I think most everyone on the planet, including most of the bushmen on the Kulwahari, expect Adames to sign with the Dodgers. The Sox are not outbidding the Dodgers. I don’t expect Fried or Burnes, either.

    I agree. I think they’re very vincible…

    I didn’t like Judge in CF either, but the Yankees are also clearly willing to live with it in order to bat Soto and Judge back-to-back. Their appearance in the ALCS this year probably already trumps Judge’s negative dWAR…

    Soto would be a spectacular acquisition that would give the Sox a superstar to replace Mookie. But I’d be beyond shocked if the Sox made anything above a cursory attempt to acquire him. I don’t see the Sox signing even Pete Alonso, the premier right-handed bat on the market. And Alonso’s next contract will probably be less than half of Soto’s…

    Probably. I think that site undervalues him, but that’s just me. Either way, if they are only dealing one starter, I would say Castillo is more likely than Gilbert, Kirby, Miller, or Woo…

    Did Abreu die? In the middle infield, the Sox have Hamilton, Grissom, Story, Meidroth, and Mayer. And Romy with his hard hit potential. They only need two starters. (And some think Adames might be in the mix.)

    Squat’s an a-hole. You’re better off not knowing him…

    “Kind of shifted”?. What’s that mean?
  18. notin
    Agreed. It’s odd that people harp in the importance of young, controllable SP but then also think any team that has some will readily trade it away. If Seattle trades any SP, it will be Luis Castillo…

    Bernie Willliams was another case…

    If the Orioles offered Mayo, Meidroth isn’t a good counteroffer. The other two primarily play positions other than 3b, and very likely are worse solutions there. Camp bell’s arm is “passable” at 3b, per SoxProspects; Mayo’s arm is considered a strength. If Seattle want a SS or a 2b, the Sox have more to offer. But if they want a 3b, Baltimore has the definite edge…

    Cleveland survives another day. the Guardians currently have the longest active World Series championship drought in MLB at 75 years. The only remaining teams that have never won a title did not exist in 1948. But beyond their futility,I like Cleveland more than I do Detroit to beat the Yankees, which is the priority this postseason…

    Sure it does. It’s just scattered all over the field. I take it you survived the devastation…

    But they have put together a competitive pitching staff without much spent on the rotation, which, outside of one year of Corbin Burnes, isn’t made of starters that appear immediately capable of breaking the bank…

    It’s not really misguided for Boston. The Sox have a definite surplus with MLB position players once you factor in the MLB-ready prospects like Anthony, Campbell, and Teel. That doesn’t mean they match up so well with Seattle, however…
