  1. Deadline trades rarely do unless the player has multiple years of control. But with some good scouting, there are more Wilyer Abreu types out there…
  2. No to mention, Mayer has yet to play above AA. Grissom is only 22 months older but has already played parts of multiple MLB seasons…
  3. How about Harold Ramírez?
  4. Also one of Houston’s…
  5. The trade was always going to look bad up front if Sale actually pitched. But that hasn’t really been a given in recent years…
  6. If healthy. Or another option is a pretty underrated right-handed hitting infielder in Oakland named Abraham Toro…
  7. A RHH second baseman not named Westbrook is on my wish list…
  8. So you think the one game they actually win is the Sunday night game on ESPN!?
  9. But he’s the ugliest of the three!! Not counting Aaron or Mike, of course…
  10. JBJ is batting right-handed now? Or do you want Renfroe back?
  11. See? It's only getting better and better. Meanwhile, Hunter Renfroe has played on 12 teams since that trade, and all that traveling must have been pretty rough since he is on the IL...
  12. People said that about the Bradley/Renfroe trade until last week. Now Hamilton has people re-thinking that deal...
  13. They are. And it's not my fault...
  14. It’s under. It only matters if you plan on adding payroll. Otherwise - $12mill under the cap is the same as $50mill under is the same as $1 under - no taxes. AAV only matters for luxury tax. If Boston were to trade Bello to Miami or Tampa or Oakland/Sacramento/Las Vegas, those teams wouldn’t care about his AAV. But they would certainly care about his salary, especially if that salary escalates year to year…
  15. CC Wong? Isn’t that the guy from all those Jurassic Park movies?
  16. Only when you’re at the tax limits. Teams is the mid to lower payroll tiers only care about salary, which is why they still backload contracts…
  17. Per Soxprospects: Pivetta - $7.5mill Bello - $1mill Criswell - $1mill Houck - $770,000 Crawford - $760,000 The entire rotation makes $11.3mill, or slightly more than the Cardinals are paying the mediocre Lance Lynn. And far less than the Red Sox are paying Lucas Giolito…
  18. But free agency isn’t always about production. There is a certain PR aspect to it when ownership sends a message to the fanbase that money will NOT be an obstacle this season. Of course, the reality might be “we will pay $20mill to Player X in hopes that it leads to the fanbase throwing $30mill plus back our way.”
  19. Hamilton is on a hot streak. So far, it’s only been 85 PA with a .963 OPS. But don’t forget, only 85 PA ago, his OPS was .563 and he looked like DFA material. As for the OF, assuming the Sox hold on to the one outfielder they extended (Rafaela), it looks like they would be moving a LHH corner OF…
  20. If they’re not considering trading them, how do we know what they’re expecting in return?
  21. The weird part is you complain after the win…
  22. Hamilton doing everything he can to make that Bradley trade look good…
  23. Shane Drohan is back.
