It’s possible and even likely, although we really don’t know what money was talked about when Breslow ruled out Chapman. But if you want to improve the pitching, improving the defense can improve all the pitching, not just one rotation slot. And maybe the Sox simply don’t love Montgomery or Snell as much as we fans want them to…
-
Depends on Cora. He might just want a high-spending one so he can get credit for making them good. The Dodgers have been to the postseason ten straight years now. It’s easier to f*** that up than it is to take it to the next level…

Ugh… https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/03/vaughn-grissom-likely-to-miss-opening-day-due-to-groin-strain.html
-
Mets might be another consideration…
-
https://www.nbcsportsboston.com/mlb/boston-red-sox/red-sox-third-base-outlook-rafael-devers-defense-must-improve-in-2024/584163/ A little more mainstream for you?
-
Yes for the limited few with a third baseman ranked in the bottom three and that have the money (not budget, money) to easily afford him…
-
And a column on overthemonster.com. Twitter? Really?
-
And I have uncovered his true identity https://www.overthemonster.com/2023/8/23/23840932/when-does-rafael-devers-become-a-full-time-dh-boston-red-sox-third-baseman-red-sox-analysis
-
I knew they were never going to add him, but it was definitely a move they needed. The only real downside is it pushed Yoshida to a full time OF role. And I’d take a weak LF over weak corner INF spots. And there are several journalists out there who think Devers’ days at 3b are numbered and he is a 1b/DH in the making, if not a full time DH…
-
Yeah why improve the team defense at two positions with one move? And get the RHH bat Breslow has been supposedly searching for all off-season in that same move?
-
Chapman to the Giants for 3yr $54mill. That’s a dropped ball by Breslow…
-
We’ve seen the extremes of Duran’s offense the last two seasons. The only real issue I have with him that he’s really only capable of playing LF. If he could hand centerfield, either he or Rafaela could become expendable. Sort of makes me wonder why he was ever moved off second base…
-
It’s more of a “should” than a “will”. I will say the 6 year $150mill deal MLBTR predicted for Chapman looks extremely far from likely, and there is a chance he becomes affordable. Especially since there has been almost no buzz on him all off-season…
-
Or Duran, which they have explored…
-
Yeah predictable and boring. But hey, Matt Chapman is still looking for work and can secure our infield defense…
-
I like Duran-Rafaela-O’Neill as the starting OF. Bench? McGuire, Reyes, Refsnyder and Dalbec is the likely bench. Although Cron and Valdez could work their way in. And frankly, a decent defensive OF might make some sense…
-
I hope Rafaela does not make the 26 unless he is going to play every day. Dalbec is an acceptable OF backup, simply because backups don't play all that often. If Refsnyder can start 38 games in LF, Dalbec cannot be too much of a step down from that, if one at all...
-
I hope he gets a start at shortstop, just so Tomase gets another apoplectic attack...
-
3b, corner OF. And he can play 2b and SS in an emergency…
-
Gotta duplicate that .381 BABIP…
-
Interesting. Now go get Chapman and maybe Montgomery…
-
Might be outdated. I never read it either, but saw it cited frequently…
-
Not a theory. It was based on some study someone did. However I don’t know of it is still valid as there may have been improvements in the surgery that nullify the older data points since the study was first done…
-
Out of curiosity, can you briefly state each side of the argument?
