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
-
Bassitt might be more appealing to some, but Gausman really had his best years working with Bailey…
-
Not replacing Giolito was just so questionable. Ok it’s one thing to not pony up $25-35mill for Snell or Montgomery. But a lot of experienced MLB pitchers were accepting minor league deals. Why were the Sox not involved?
-
MLB in general favors left-handed hitters more.
-
But 3 of the 5 lefties you named are Hall of Famers. What about Lefty Joe Lunchpail?
-
I hope they simply use Hamilton and Romy in a platoon. And at some point, msybe Grissom comes back. Unless they really like Andy Ibanez and can get him from Detroit…
-
When Wingenter comes back, he’s gonna be looking for you…
-
At the rate Campbell is getting promoted and embarrassing AA pitchers, maybe he is able to answer the call before Grissom…
-
I was on the Paul DeJong bandwagon for a while. And I’ll still be glad if they add him. But then I wonder what is the fallout. Say they get DeJong. Rafaela moves to CF. This means Duran goes to LF. Then who plays RF and who sits between O’Neill and Abreu? I just question if the Sox would go it. Maybe demoting Valdez and leaving 2b to Hamilton/Gonzalez will create a satisfactory bump in defense…

Notin’s revamped Deadline Wish List Priority 1: Starting pitcher. Preferences in order are 1. Zach Eflin 2. Nate Eovaldi 3. Yusei Kikuchi 4. Tyler Anderson. Any of these 4 makes me happy. Priority 2: RHH OF/1b/DH. Mark Canha is the perfect fit here. Priority 3: Starting pitching depth. Nothing crazy, just maybe a Chris Flexen-type.
-
No, but it’s easier to teach pitchability than velocity…
-
He did get fired, but over a year after going over the cap…
-
No idea why people get worked up about that, especially with high school shortstops. Would people be happier if we grabbed a worse 18yo athlete solely because he played a different position that he’s going to be switched from?
-
Westbrook has 27 plate appearances. There’s a better than decent chance he doesn’t hold up as is. Interestingly, Westbrook is 11 days older…
