What could get interesting if the buyers get more creative and fill gaps by dealing younger, less established players for each other to fill gaps. Like the Brandon Marsh/Logan O’Hoppe swap a couple years ago. You never saw deals like that in July before…
-
Plus he can throw hard, but no one knows where it’s going. He’s what would happen if Nuke LaLoosh played outfield…
-
Plus he could sell his yacht. And his summer place in the Hampton could list on AirBnb. And maybe he could get that OnlyFans channel moving. We need bullpen upgrades!!
-
It’s a draft pick. You get one guess…
-
And a PTBNL cannot be on the 40 man roster…

Eh, they spent. Confidence in Sale was probably not all that high either, since he’d done so little the previous 4 seasons. Even Sale himself might have been questioning it, as he wanted an extension. If he knew he was going to be the top arm available, would he necessarily do that?

How many of those pitchers available to the Sox at 12 ate going to fit into that description?

I haven’t defended Bloom on anything since July 31, 2023. But the guy had his skill sets. You don’t get as high as he did with multiple teams unless you know what you’re doing… -
Montgomery was a top 8 on many boards. Not a huge bargain to get him 12. But nice to just take the top guy available…

Rainer is no longer an option..

As one of a very limited number that were optimistic in the pre-season, even I’m pleasantly surprised with this team… -

ASB starts tomorrow. This was an ok time for it… -
The record for a first year arbitration salary is $11.5mill by Cody Bellinger. So no, Duran, Houck, and Crawford are NOT going to get $20mil each…
-
I ranked Nate #3 on my list of pitching targets. I ranked him behind Kikuchi because Nate’s contract is more likely to brr eR an issue. But he made my short list. Which means he probably didn’t make the list of Breslow, that petty bitch…

And all it is on here is an academic debate
-
Well, Mr. Gorman, sometimes Paul needs the money more…
-
As long as we know you mean the boring bullpen WASPy name…
-
Young gave up more for a starter. Two actually…
-
Who is Smith? Or did you mean Martin? Or were you possibly referring to character actor Charles Martin Smith?
-
But how many are truly critical? I mean, is getting 3 outs without giving up 2 or more runs really a specialized skill possessed by only a limited number of MLB pitchers? Not to mention, if the Sox don’t get any rotation depth soon, that 20 IP number expected from a closer could drop significantly…
-
True, but they might be able to get 60 IP (or more) out of a starter. Jansen might only pitch 15-20 IP the rest of the way…
-
Don’t draw too close of a parallel here. Say the Dodgers offered an uninjured Michael Grove or Landon Knack for Jansen. Would it be worth moving the closer to save the rotation (somewhat)?
-
Do they need Jansen more than a SP? If they need the SP more, “might return” might be good enough. Especially considering how thin their starting rotation is. They really only have four starters NOW and with some of these guys approaching career high in IP already, the staff is currently so precarious that there’s a good chance the closer won’t matter if nothing is done about the rotation…
-
To paraphrase this multi-faceted question - what would be a bigger help in getting the 2024 Red Sox into the postseason? Jansen? Or a pitcher like Ragans? Certainly the Sox absolutely need starting pitching. Jansen has been solid in his bullpen role, but some folks on the Sox apparently think Liam Hendriks might return this year.
-
Just because they traded Ragans doesn’t mean they lost faith in him. Sometimes you have to pay the price and Ragans was clearly a guy KC targeted
