    Who cares? Remember when they needed a shortstop and announced Pedroia was a candidate? It’s possible these are simply negotiation tactics. “Hey, we don’t NEED Isaac Paredes. We are perfectly willing to let Mayer play third again. So slow down those demands, Cowboy.” If they were really already committed to Mayer at third, why am I still seeing Paredes rumors?

    1. The Mets need a CF, and the reason they need one is they traded their CF Nimmo in order to get Semien. Doubtful they follow up by moving Semien for a defensively challenged corner OF. (Side note: Didn’t the Mets acquire Jose Siri last offseason? Is he dead or something?) 2. Roster Resource has McLean penciled in ss the Mets’ opening day starter, which redefines the word “pathetic” for a team with a payroll well over $300mill. Extremely doubtful they weaken that rotation even further by trading the top of it for a CF. Unless their attitude is “this rotation is a flaming pile of garbage anyway”, which I doubt it is.

    The Sox have the following SPs on the 40 man roster Houck Crochet Bello Crawford Sandoval Gray Early Tolle Oviedo Harrison Bennett Drohan Uberstine And thats not counting Suarez, which will bring the Sox to 14 starting pitchers. Granted, Houck is out and a few likely become relievers. But that’s a lot of roster spots dedicated to SP. To me, Bello is the perfect storm of “good enough to get something but not so good he will be missed.”

    I don’t see that as an easy task. Especially for getting an infielder. I think Breslow has been trying. Trade Bello for an infielder. Move Yoshida to the bench or Worcester (he has options)…

    At this point, maybe Duran to DH, Yoshida to the bench (or Worcester) and trade Bello for an infielder…

    13. Glasnow will be injured. And I do not think I’m going out in a limb here…
  7. notin
    Gee, how did you do that? By catching any of his last 25,000 posts?
  8. notin
    He might be able to get $110/4 yrs at age 32. Thats not even Bregman level…
  9. notin
    Both players can re-enter free agency relatively young…

    Brad Keller!!

    The best way to make sure they don’t spend is not hold them accountable for their revenue spending. Status quo. Givibg them high picks just gives them players they hold until arbitration gets too pricey and they trade them away for a handful of minor leaguers that eventually result in getting a utility infielder…

    The answer is no, just like it is at shortstop. And second base. But he’s not being paid to field…
  13. notin
    Yeah those teams and their $57mill contracts…
  14. notin
    It’s fun how you refute the “starters under $12mil” with one name…
  15. notin
    I think they are more likely to move someone like Baty or Vientos.i Semien (3 yrs $72mill) wouldn’t be the cure for the Sox offense. But it opens the door for Duran and possibly Casas at some point to step in at DH. With Yoshida owed much less (2 yr $36mill), it’s a saving for the Mets already. But it does weaken their defense…

    And one opt-back-in…

    In the year you skipped. Or we could keep the current system where the Dodgers now have, what, SIX players making $27mill or higher this season? How many are there in the rest of the NL West combined? Do the Dodger have an anyone in their lineup making under $12mill?
  18. notin
    And in two years the Dodgers can sign him for a 4 year $500mill extension…
  19. notin
    Or Triston Casas, as it turns out…

    True, but the AL central out 3 teams in the postseason in 2024 and had a fourth in the cusp. Were those teams really among the best in the AL?
  21. notin
    I think it’s been Breslow’s white whale…
  22. notin
    Or does it compensate for weaker schedules thr Midwest teams get?
  23. notin
    And then he went and shattered my confidence in him by spending $22mil on Brad Keller…
  24. notin
    Those teams are already playing LA and San Diego more times and competing for wild card spots with teams playing the Pirates and Reds 26 times…
  25. notin
    He seems pull happy. Two guys that fit Fenway might be the oft-mentioned Isaac Paredes and the rarely mentioned Miguel Vargas. The less Vargas is mentioned, the better. He’s reportedly a huge *******…
