    Alonso meant no Contreras. they signed Alonso for 1b, they already had Anthony, Duran, Rafaela and Abreu in OF/DH roles. Who would you sit?

    Especially since he died in 2013….

    I think so, too. At least today. As I said earlier, this should be a seller’s market. But I am not opposed to them getting back into the race on this current run. Heck, I’ll admit it. I want them to.

    Velocity was never his problem. He was inspired by Nuke LaLoosh…

    Oh please. You think the Sox should sell if their division lead gets clipped to five games…

    5th best but third among first basemen…
  7. notin
    Thats really why I think the Sox should sell. Who else will be? Royals, Angels, Tigers and Reds. That might be the list…

    Do you think the Braves are happy with Murphy and Riley? The real problem contract in that conversation is not Story snd not Yoshida. It’s Riley, and by a lot. 5 straight years of declining performance with 6 more years and $132mill left. A trade for Story and Yoshida at this point for Atlanta is not about those players; it’s about escaping. They’d be crazy to not consider it. A trade of Riley and Murphy for Story snd Yoshida is far more likely to be turned down by Boston that it is by Atlanta…

    Bear in mind St. Louis pays Boston money for Sonny Gray, not Sonny directly, and Boston is under no obligation to forward that money in a Gray trade. But if they do, his surplus value goes up by about $6-7mill…

    Boston. Breslow wouldn’t deal Mayer for Marte. Doubtful he deals him for Riley.

    And again - still only 29. They may not be opposed to a healthy Story, if such a thing exists. Lately their SS has been Mauricio Dubon, and they save about $99million…

    I wonder if Austin Riley might be a good target for Boston after the season. He’s been league average (101 OPS+) over the past 3 seasons and is seeing his OPS drop for the fifth consecutive time since his .898 in 2021 and is currently under 700. He is also owed $132mill over the next 6 years. Big gamble for a hopeful change of scenery candidate, but he’s also still 29…

    Actually more than AZ reportedly asked for him. Rather have Tolle and a lesser hitting 2b at the backend of his contract….

    His bat was never the problem…

    Schmitt would be a great pickup, but SFG has been willing to play him anywhere…

    I wouldn’t worry about it. The most likely returns are minor league pitching, which the Sox can hold on to until November or December and then swap for bats. No team is going to trade their MLB hitters right now; they need them for August/September/October. If you look at the trades the Sox made last winter, nearly every trade involved moving minor league/young pitching. Also no more maples. Too dangerous…

    Still thinking trade Chapman, Gray, Duran and Guerrero. Trading more than 4 players is probably unrealistic…
  18. notin
    Abreu? Durbin? Why?
  19. notin
    In theory it should also depend on when Anthony and Crochet return…

    7-2 in their last 9. Will Boston even be selling?
  21. notin
    I assumed Paredes busted out years ago and he is what he is. Brandon Lowe is a StatCast darling with weaker overall numbers

    The thing about Marte is - Mike Hazen is clearly far more tolerant than Breslow. Marte takes time off and once missed a week after a man heckled him about his deceased mother. (This happened in 2025; Marte’s mother passed in 2017.) Apparently teammates, management and fans question if Marte has his mind in the game; they question his commitment, etc. But with all that, Marte is reportedly not available. Breslow would have traded him away years ago, which is why I find myself questioning if Craig would ever trade FOR him…

    Will the Sox tackle middle infield next offseason? Even if they add no one at the trade deadline, Franklin Arias might be in the running for a 2b or SS role…

    I actually wondered about Tracy’s promotion. I mean, if the goal was to turn around the MLB team, is a manager with no MLB experience really the guy? Can we count on another round of Morgan Magic? I suspected Tracy’s job was to help the younger struggling ones, since he’d worked with several of them before. Otherwise, Tracy seems like an odd choice…

    The point is even if it impacted him to start the year, he’s been in the same role he has had for his entire previous career since April 1, and nothing has changed. Still not hitting. Doubtful this is a role thing with Duran, more like just a bad season. And we won’t even get into the fact that his career DH numbers are actually pretty good.
