    My mistake. But they also clearly have no issues DHing him. In fact, Abreu can play all 3 OF positions and could all Texas to rotate players into DH. Of course the irony here is Texas probably has a better all around OF than Seattle, as Texas won’t be relying on Victor Robles…

    Wyatt Langford only played 85 innings in the OF this year. Not so sure he is inked in to play there next season. Which of Carter, Langford and García are you handing CF to?

    They may both have uncertain projections, but I don’t think they share them. One guy is battling for ROY; the other was released by a last place team. They’re not equals…

    Can they? Probably not. But it’s already been paid for…

    I liked the Texas match up. Their fWAR from RF is near the bottom of MLB, and they have Josh Smith at third whose whole job is to wait for Josh Jung to hurt himself. Seattle needs a 3b. The position has been handed over from candidate to candidate since Kyle Seager retired. Of course, Seattle probably also needs a RF. Sure they probably have some folks who believe in Victor Robles. They’ll be questioning that belief by next June at the latest…

    Haniger will be harder to move than Yoshida. The man has played in 216 games over the past 3 years and hasn’t even sniffed a .700 OPS in the.last two. Teams might not be lining up unless that’s one heckuva prospect…

    Jansen will move on. Not sure he gets his contender wish, but he will move on. I suppose he could sign with some team like Miami and be dealt to a contender in July. Or Philly, whose closer role has been unestablished all year. But I think Boston moves on and hopes for a Liam Hendriks’ comeback…

    So? Priester made the Pirates at one point, too. And didn’t you call Yorke the Sox worst first round draft pick ever? A statement that brought a huge sigh of relief to Jason Place, by the way…

    Yoshida for Rendon?? Sox get a RHH 3b and move Devers and Casas to 1b/DH roles. What could go wrong? He only has $76mill left on that deal for two more years!!

    The backend of Castillo’s contract is only 2026/20/7. Maybe 2028 if his option vests. I absolutely consider him a potential target for Boston, and I think Seattle will be willing to move him. But Yoshida won’t be part of that deal. Abreu maybe, but not Yoshida. We have heard Seattle doesn’t need OF help, but I have my doubts. Their starting RF as of today figures to be Victor Robles, whom they recently extended. But if your problem is weak offense, Victor Robles is not part of the solution, recent hot streaks notwithstanding. This is a guy who was released by the Nationals, and they didn’t do so because his offense was so good they felt a need to share it with the world..…

    What if the Sox took back 3 years of Cantillo? BTV lowered his value to -28.4. That means over the next 3 seasons, his median projection is a total of about 5.5 fWAR. Yoshida’s BTV value is -21.3, meaning over the next 3 years, his median projection is about 4.5 fWAR. So it’s close but the Mariners save about $18mill on Castillo alone and $31mill if the throw in Garver. Are you saying the Mariners are not interested in saving $31million with minimal loss of performance - about 1 fWAR. If one fWAR costs $8mill and you can sell one for $31mill, shouldn’t you at least be interested?

    Soto bats right-handed?

    Renfroe didn’t get a QO because he wasn’t eligible when he was in Boston. He was still on his arb years. The Sox signed him after he was non-tendered by Tampa and traded him to Milwaukee when he still had one arb year left.

    Talksox posted a timely article today about Tyler O’Neill, and concluded Boston will be making him a QO. So that’s TWO bloggers who think as such. Although it is entirely possible the Talksox article sourced and paraphrased the Fangraphs article..

    The Hamilton commentary might be referring to his play at SS, which a truly kind person would call “lackluster horse fecal matter.”

    Sox are 4th in MLB in wRC and 11th in wRC+. So they are above average but there is room to improve…

    I think ticket prices impact attendance as much if not more than team play sometimes. Despite the higher attendance figures, the 2012 team had $42mill less in gave revenue, than the 2018 team. That works out to roughly $500k less per game, despite the 2,000 more attendees… https://www.statista.com/statistics/294146/boston-red-sox-gate-receipts/

    You don’t like giving anyone a QO. This isn’t my idea. Jon Becker from Fangraphs thinks O’Neill gets the offer and rejects it. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/top-of-the-order-previewing-the-qualifying-offer-decisions/

    1. SP. Prefer an arm for the top of the rotation. 2. LHRP. Thinking Tanner Scott or equivalent. 3. RHB 4. RP 5. Voids filled from trades trying to fill 1 through 4.

    O’Neill could get a QO. And if so, he might accept sand it’s not the worst thing…

    Are you saying he’s too young? Because you’ve been lamenting the loss of 35yo Chris Sale all season…

    I’ll be happy if they put Whitlock and Fulmer in the bullpen. Expecting all three in the bullpen is crazy, even if Henry spends again…

    Crawford had actually been pitching well lately. I. His last 5 starts he had a 3.68 ERA and the opposing OPSA of .654. He did go 0-5 in those starts due to run support issues. Barring a trade, Crawford will be in the Sox rotation next year. And if he builds up a little more stamina, he should be a little better…
