The Sox have 4 SP candidates IMO not counting Houck. They don’t need to put him in the rotation. Granted one of those candidates is Sale, not exactly a bastion of durability. On this site, the mantra (true as it is) is that the Six shouldn’t count on Sale. Breslow, however, might not have that luxury…
-
And 20 years from now, someone will be saying (on whatever the medium is) that the players of the 2040s just don’t stack up the Albert Pujols, Miguel Cabrera and Justin Verlander…

Go get a microphone so you can drop it…
-
I’m hoping it’s the bullpen. If he is a starter, it might be dictated by finances…
-
I cut Bello some slack. He’s not the first pitcher to slow down as his first MLB season wore on…
-
Very true..
-
That’s really it. Houck, in the right hands, is a lights out multi-inning reliever (3 innings max). Pfaadt is a potential starter…
-
I’m not so sure. Pfaadt’s very limited track record is less impressive and he only has one more year of control…
-
Not much of a sample size. Although I do admit I was unimpressed watching him fall over trying to camp under that fly ball in Minnesota. But should the plan be to load up on rookie outfielders? Or does Abreu get the start over Rafaela with Duran in CF? Not sure if starting two rookie outfielders is the way to go. Not like these guys are the Gold Dust Twins 2.0…
-
Hopefully there is more to those red flags than a couple of one game suspensions. Cora also did say a few good things about Verdugo as well. The downside is most of the MLB Sox outfielders are LF/CF types not really fit for RF at Fenway…
-
Oh ok. Certainly the Sox have to keep building the farm. But not sure that’s the top priority this offseason
-
Except for Trevor Story, who has been an All Star. Twice…
-
Probably didn’t want to give up Casas…
-
Might be worth noting that since there is a Trade Dead Zone between August and mid-November, updates for players’ values might be slow to publish. Some of those players might be updated (again?) before they are actually eligible to be dealt…
-
Bloom mentioned Murphy by name in his interview after the 2022 deadline…
-
I don’t see the Cubs, with payroll room to spare and who only missed the postseason by one game, dealing their ace. Especially with the turmoil in the Brewers’ rotation that is making the NL Central that much more winnable right now…
-
Why? He’s they one guy who has expressed an interest in being extended. And the guy who wouldn’t extend him is no longer in charge…
-
And yet signing Matt Chapman was too much…

He hasn’t done a lot of things yet. Like turn 21, for instance… -

Neither Story nor Baez has 5 years left on their current contract. Story has 4 years plus a team option/buyout. Baez has 4 years assuming he does not opt out this off-season… -
Agreed. Why does MLB keep letting the Mariner’s draft?
-
I got caught up in the rhetoric…

When the Sox signed Story, he was coming off a 3 year run where he posted 11.1 fWAR and Bogaerts posted 11.8 fWAR. Story hasn’t helped his value much since, but given what Bogaerts got in free agency, Story’s 4 yr / $92 mill contract could be a potential steal if the Sox make him available. Not like free agency has much in the way of game-changing shortstops. And if Javier Baez opts out, he still doesn’t represent a better option than Story… -
Also very true. Take the outs they give you…
