It’s 2018-19 all over again…
-
I think the notion that posting about rebuilding and a draft pick struck me odd. I do see the Sox signing at least one of Montgomery, Snell, Stroman, or Yamamoto. Most likely not Yamamoto. I also see a trade with Miami for another SP.
-
Nothing helps a rebuilding team like adding a 6 year $130-140 mill 30yo pitcher…
-
You don’t need to to answer the question. Which you should have been able to tell…
-
So … no answer? Shocking…
-
Oh Montgomery is getting more than 5 years and $100mill. Book it…
-
Is Trevor Rogers too significant of an investment?
-
My bold prediction is we trade Duran to the Marlins for a starter. Right now BTV has Trevor Rogers as the closest match…
-
Wakefield was a terrible relief pitcher, but was an amazing starter for a long time…
-
Yes we definitely need to revisit those success stories…
-
But after his first few years he was equally unimpressive as Houck, and yet some other team still gave him the chance to have those last 3 years. Think he would have gotten that in Boston?
-
That’s because we are horribly impatient with younger pitchers. We look at Kutter Crawford and say “ he’s a #5 and we don’t need one” or “he’s a reliever” as opposed to “he just finished his first season in MLB and was pretty good.” Or we look at Tanner Houck and his career 5.8 bWAR at age 27 and insist he’s a reliever. And then advocate throwing millions upon millions at Jordan Montgomery, who did have all of 3.3 bWAR at age 27…

Actually not so bad. Schreiber and Bernardino look good so far…
-
The other option is when you pick up pitchers other teams have released and see if they actually are any good. Despite that it can be quite successful, for some reason it infuriates fans despite that every single team does it…
-
Grow them yourself…
-
In this age, an 8 man lockdown bullpen might be a better use as well…
-
And both thanked him and sent him on his way…
-
Allegedly Breslow is exploring the trade market. Although he’s not actually connected to any pitchers that are available…
-
And yet no GM in MLB makes him that offer - multiple have turned him down. The best he got last year was his $15mill AAV option years on a cheap “prove it” deal that turned out to be about what Boston paid him. Wacha carries a lot of injury risk, and no one seems willing to commit to him…
-
Wacha has been looking for $15mill AAV for 2 years now. Is $15mill the new price for a #5?
-
If you fear the two TJs, you’re clearly not going to give him the best deal anyway. Report Boston has already moved on…
-
So now that there are no looming lockouts and pandemics, have we returned to the 2018/2019 Snail’s Pace Boring Off-Seasons?
-
And Kohei Arihara. But hey, they weren’t all stars in Japan either..
-
He escaped my mind, but that’s certainly a good call.
-
Yamamoto is a big time gamble. What Japanese starting pitcher was the most successful in MLB? Tanaka?
