    Mayer likely already has a role; the only question is where. Campbell is probably in the picture, but shouldn’t be handed anything in January..

    Another potential pivot for the Sox might be Lenyn Sosa. His 22HRs for the White Sox would have been third on the Red Sox. The White Sox seem to have spent the offseason quietly rebuilding their infield, which might relegate Sosa to the bench… https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/lenyn-sosa-672820?stats=statcast-r-hitting-mlb

    Sure. Last year the difference was 5 wins. But we only had our 21 year old for 71 games…

    Darth Drewski lacks the ominous tone normally associated with Siths…

    The big dogs do not skimp on pitching either, except the Mets, which is why they suck (247-249 the last 3 seasons). The Dodgers have shelled out piles of cash for Yamamoto, Snell, Glasnow, Tanner Scott, etc. The Yankees did similar with Cole and Rodon. Theres no magic formula…

    Maybe if Houston sign Christian Vazquez, they can undo that trade…

    You have more faith in Bryan King than I do. I assume you think he will out pitch Slaten and not Whitlock?

    Even if the injuries are to Narvaez and Rafaela? I think most teams are a couple injuries away from being a bad lineup. I also think you underestimate the impacts Anthony and Abreu are capable of, but I do understand why you do..

    Maybe because Suarez is entering his age 30 season coming off 4.7 bWAR/4.0 fWAR, while Bregman is entering his age 32 season coming of 3.5 bWAR/3.5 fWAR?

    Toronto might get in on Bellinger at some point.

    Then it becomes a bigger deal since Boston has to DFA another player to squeeze Sousa or King on the roster. And while both LHRP you nane have more control, we’re talking about pitchers who are already 30 or will be soon and might not even be around for 5 more years. Sure they might be upgrades over, say, Drohan. But does either have options left? Is either an improvement over Jovani Moran? Do the Sox have to demote someone like Harrison to hold on to these late bloomers? If Houston gives more, I prefer lower level prospects that don’t mess with the current 40 man roster…

    According to the very unofficial Roster Resource: 1. Paredes is on the Astros bench as a weak side platoon in one of their outfield corners. (They list both corner OF spots as platoons, but Roster Resource is notoriously platoon happy.) 2. They do list six SPs for Houston, but one of them is some guy named Ryan Weiss, who I’m pretty sure only got the job by being the 6th caller in some KBME 790 radio talk show. 3. Another is Lance McCullers Jr. It’s pretty sad that Houston has not yet learned their lesson that McCullers - who has started 24 games total in the PAST FOUR SEASONS - is clearly not durable enough for a rotation spot, and the act of pencilling him in there does legally constitute abuse. He might work out in a reduced bullpen role, and it’s absolutely something the Astros need to consider because McCullers has been doing this part time starter thing FOR ELEVEN YEARS NOW. If the Astros won’t trade a bench bat for Bello, move on. I guess they can always rely on KBME to find them more starters…

    Getting more is better, but at a minimum a straight up one-for-one trade works for me. And Boston. And Houston…

    I can definitely sleep better now.

    But mostly the Raiders…

    They can still try to get Josiah or Jon. There are plenty of Gray’s on the pallete. Or: He did have to go, otherwise the Sox broadcasts would have the most Grays since Close Encounters of the Third Kind…
  18. notin
    They had other options. But Gray was clearly a candidate regardless…

    Hicks is overpaid and was very ineffective over the 19 innings he pitched for Boston last year. But I have no issues if he gets another shot. He was a good reliever in St. Louis before the Giants forced him into a starting role. And if that affected him last year, he might be a good candidate to bounce back. Plus once the Sox trade him, it creates a void in their bullpen they need to address, and that could significantly cut into the money moved anyway. So moving him is probably not the savings we hope for. Might as we’ll just keep him and see if he can be the 100+ mph arm he’s always been…

    I can understand hating the Belichick/Brady Pats. But these are the Vrabel-Maye Pats! Totally different! I despise the Bears, but as I live in Chicago -easily the worst sports city in the USA - I desperately want the Bears to win another Super Bowl just so this city can FINALLY shut the f*** up about the ‘85 Bears! My god, their obsession with that team transcends unhealthy behavior…

    I’d trade Bello straight up for Paredes and bench/demote Yoshida, and I’d do it all last week…

    I also think Arrighetti hasn’t really shown he makes a difference versus all the other SPs on the 40 man. Sure, he’s probably better than Drohan and Uberstine, but those guys are probably barely clinging to spots as it is…

    And surfing!

    Maybe he’s like Merlin?

    … for no one on that has to go on the 40 man Welcome aboard, Ranger!
