Maybe if we make some deals with the Cardinals...
-
To create the illusion of trying to care so that people buy tickets?
-
So now you're telling me the FO is not happy with just sabotaging the Boston Red Sox season, they're trying to take down the Worcester Red Sox as well...
-
Not sure why I keep thinking Isaiah Campbell's name is Isaiah Kennedy. Rest assured this will happen again...
-
I thought that was only when he was considered an option for the rotation. Possible it was only speculation by non-affiliated websites like soxprospects.com.
-
Once they signed Anderson to a Major League deal, they needed someone with options to demote, likely only temporarily. Candidates were Bernardino, Weissert, and Winckowski. And maybe Kennedy, not sure about his option status. I would have gone Weissert...
-
And if Giolito sucks, you try the same approach next season. As Giolito's salary and option are both relatively close to the qualifying offer amount, it is a no-brainer he would decline it...
-
I don't think you're going to see Bloom make any big trades to help the Boston pitching staff anytime soon...
-
Isn’t he like 30 now?
-
A failed prospect isn’t necessarily the equal of a struggling MLB pitcher. Ryan Weber wasn’t a good starting pitcher, but that doesn’t mean Trey Ball could have done the same thing, but for less money…
-
Also possible…
-
I suppose they hoped his frequent injuries would allow him to pass through unselected. He had only pitched 59 innings total in the 3 previous seasons. At 26 years old with that track record, was he even good trade bait? Maybe they did offer him around but didn’t get any nibbles…
-
Not sure you got the (poorly explained?) rules. 3 in - teams going to the paragon that didn’t go last year 3 out - teams that did go last year but will not go this year
-
Montas.

Not following that logic. The Sox pitching prospects are putrid, so the team should protect more of them? I get the idea that you need a good amount of manure to grow a rose. But at some point, you also need a rose bulb…
-
The Sox have dealt away a few pitchers, too…
-
Even though most of those pitchers flame out? Perhaps so many Sox pitchers get selected because so few Sox pitchers are worth protecting. For all the questions about why the Sox kept Kaleb Ort over Thad Ward last year (many of which were asked by me), at the end of the day, Ort was pretty much equal to Ward on some metrics and slightly better on others. Sure the much younger Ward theoretically has more potential to be better. But he also had much more potential to have his career shortened by a series of arm surgeries…
-
That’s still bad. You’re potentially passing on better players to accommodate a timeline with the draft. If you’re pressed for time, you need to prioritize trade market over drafts…
-
Ok. Seattle and Cleveland seem solid. That third team in the AL is less clear. NL?
-
Not true. For example, a player can be selected from the Sox by another team in Rule 5 and it’s catastrophic…
-
They did win it last year. And then added a former Cy Young winner…
-
They were trying to compete in a budget. Now they’re just on a budget…
-
In 1978, those tie breaker games (this was the second one in MLB history) were considered regular season games. Statistics accrued went on the players’ regular season stats. And the results were reflected in the teams’ records…
-
Zimmer was clearly a double agent. He really didn’t get enough mention as the worst Sox manager, given his people management skills that forced out players he simply couldn’t handle. Grady Little gets ripped much more for not using a bullpen that was largely ineffective all season, but Zimmer whined apart one of the best teams in Sox history..

So will TB, Min and Texas be out? And replaced by whom?
