  1. Fans always overvalue their own. That said - Bello for Paredes straight up. Who says no? (Besides BTV…)
  2. On BTV, Bello plus Duran gets you Ketel Marte. Honestly, AZ would be stupid to turn that down…
  3. Based on what? Paredes makes more money (even if loses his arbitration, which he won’t), has fewer years of control, and accrues fewer WAR…
  4. Trade Duran for an infielder nowy
  5. BTV overvalued Duran? He has as many fWAR in the past two seasons as Ketel Marte and more than Trea Turner…
  6. I never knew the plural of Suarez. Thank you…
  7. He was out in the garage peppering the wall with bullets…
  8. I like Hoerner, who is an excellent all around 2b. Breslow, the former Cubs farm director, might have stronger preferences for Massachusetts native Matt Shaw, who was the Cubs first round pick in his final year with the organization…
  9. While he brought in a lot for 2013, it was on the heels of unloading a lot in 2012. And even then, not one of those contracts was longer than 3 years…
  10. Cherington didn’t have the same kind of free rein to spend. He had to juggle salaries just to get Marco Scutaro on the roster at one point…
  11. No. What people are tired of is waiting on comebacks that don’t pan out. I don’t recall anyone being upset with Aroldis Chapman last year…
  12. I’d just assume go with Early. Focus on 3b/2b (or SS if an opportunity arises) and bullpen…
  13. That’s another option. Theres not much available for good shortstops on both sides of the ball right now. My prediction right now thr Sox will wind up with Alec Bohm at 3b. I have mixed emotions there. Most of them are not good…
  14. No. I will just repeatedly needle my daughter for stopping her dislike of him for the exact reason I did…
  15. If the Sox are focusing on run prevention, then get a better SS. Push Story back to 2b. Mayer is fine at 3b…
  16. My silver lining is I can go back to hating Alex Bregman, although he actually did seem to be a pretty positive addition overall. Still, it’s nice to have the option again. But I’ll probably see him play in person at least half a dozen times this year…
  17. Gallen isn’t horrible. I wouldn’t put him in the same class as Richard, Kluber, etc. Hes not coming off injury and he was worth over 12 fWAR from 2022-2024. He just had a rough 2025. He’s also somehow still only 30 and he looks like a high school chemistry teacher. His 1.1 fWAR in 2025 wasn’t that much worse than Bello (1.9 fWAR). Of course it’s also equal to what Early gave Boston in a microscopic 14 IP. I get why he rejected the QO. But the combination makes him much less desirable…
  18. And I’m predicting you won’t abide by this prediction…
  19. I’m not worried. I don’t think Gallen is on their radar, if only because of the QO…
  20. Gallen might not be worth giving up a draft pick for, unless he has a Chris Sale-esque comeback…
