    Castro isn’t even a lateral move. I’d rather just play Hamilton/Romy. I could see Vientos, but I’m not wild about him. And the Mets, unless they get a 1b, really need him...

    Hoerner has one year left at $12 mill. Shaw was a minimum wage rookie and former first round draft pick that exploded through their minor leagues. They could demote Shaw. If I ran the Cubs, I’d trade him, especially considering a couple incidents from this year plus the rise of James Triantos in the minors making him more expendable. If I’m Boston, I pass on Shaw unless I can flip him. But I’d be interested in Hoerner…

    That’s not being a Red Sox fan - that’s being a conspiracy theorist. The Sox didn’t sign Bregman - whose deal was potentially for $120mill - to dump Devers. Per B-R.com, Devers had roughly $240mill left on his deal spread out over 7 years. (Maybe more if there are deferrals.) So you’re saying the Sox signed Bregman for up to $120mill over 3 years plus took on $25mill in Jordan Hicks in order to turn Devers into a selfish teammate and justify dumping him? And save maybe $14mill per year for 7 years? Is that the argument?

    I never believe that. But I do believe it means “you want him? Impress me!”

    Why is that the goal? Bregman was a good player, but he hasn’t been among the truly elite players in years. Alonso is a one trick pony that a lot of people were calling a “perfect fit” for Boston. I’d take Bregman back, but he’s hardly indispensable. And while power bats are nice, good ball players are more important (which is why I preferred Bregman over Alonso). A year ago, Bregman wasn’t on the Sox radar at all (as far as we knew). And now his loss is devastating? A year ago the Sox were the same “they don’t spend” team that dropped a $40mill AAV contract on a player in February. So why do you think it won’t happen again?

    Then why poo poo a Gold Glove 5 bWAR second baseman on the basis of home runs?
  7. notin
    If all you’re worried about is home runs, Bregman only hit 18 last year. Sign Eugenio Suarez since he hit twice as many and in bigger ballparks…

    I had no idea the only 3 players in MLB that fit the Sox needs were Bregman, Alonso and Ketel Marte…
  9. notin
    Well, either Nico Hoerner or Matt Shaw are now available…
  10. notin
    Only a $5mill drop in AAV for Bregman.
  11. notin
    Yeah!! Stupid conspiracy theories!!

    See, all I needed was wRC. I had no idea what you had then ranked..
  13. notin
    #36 at what? How are you ranking them?

    It’s slow and occasionally frustrating, but wrapping up free agency sooner isnt going to get the season here faster. If everyone signed deals and rosters were in place by November 30, what would we talk about until April?
  15. notin
    Oh Thsts plenty
  16. notin
    No but it puts a damper on Skubal’s chances of getting $32mill…
  17. notin
    So… no pitchers? Is Price’s $19.75mill still thr record for pitchers?

    And yet it happens all the time…

    How many injuries has Cole Ragans had?
  21. notin
    A lot of those pundits have no more insight than we do…
  22. notin
    I’m ok with the pitching. But I do think a 2b/3b upgrade over current likely starter David Hamilton would be nice…
  23. notin
    Getting lefty reliever is outdated anyway. Just get a good reliever. The 3 batter minimum rule obsoleted LOOGYs and killed the lefty vs lefty strategies…

    It could just be posturing, but they seem to be talking up Jovani Moran. Now Moran is seriously talented , but is one of those guys who can never put it all together as well as stay healthy…
  25. notin
    Exactly. I don’t expect Hicks to bounce back like Melancon did, but I think he could still be a useful pen arm….
