If Milwaukee insisted on Rafaela (which there is a 100% chance they would over Duran), do you deal him for the 27yo pitcher or not? Per BTV, Nick Yorke is an acceptable substitute. Of course it Congress down to what Milwaukee wants

Devers signs 11 year $331 million extension
notin replied to Jasonbay44's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
I checked the rule book. It turns out they’re still allowed to bat if they play 1b and DH.. As for Story, later see what he’s like when he actually goes thru a Spring Training and a normal season… -
I’d make that trade. Milwaukee might, too. They’d at least consider it. Certainly losing Peralta is tough. But with Adames a year from free agency, they might not mind the insurance policy in Mayer. (Not sure about their SS prospects.). And Rafaela doesn’t need to fit in at any position. It odd two very good prospects to give up, but the Sox do need pitching
-
Bloom did have ample opportunity to go get one for himself. Elvis Andrus didn’t sign anywhere for a long time and then took a contract from a team that made him switch positions. And Andrelton Simmons is still available…

Devers signs 11 year $331 million extension
notin replied to Jasonbay44's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
That’s because Dalbec couldn’t catch a cold if he was naked in a Norway. Devers will be fine at 1b. Book it. Maybe even watch it… -
Trades in May are usually for guys like Pablo Reyes (acquired May 12). Most teams don’t even know of their selling that early…
-
Burnes has one year left. Alcantara and Cease are not available. But (I believe) the Brewers have final arb years from both Burnes and Woodruff. If so, it would not be surprising to see them deal one or both…

Tyler Mahle
-
He had a chance and did nothing, which is why I’ve been saying he should have been fired. He did absolutely nothing at two consecutive trade deadlines when the team was right there in the thick of things and really needed pitching help. Neither Eric Hosmer nor Luis Urias for that bill. Needing help beforehand, while true, don’t mean anyone else is necessarily willing to sell. You cannot make trades alone…
-
That farm is already pretty clean…
-
Their record on August 1 was 57-50 (a pace for 86 wins). They were 2 games out. They needed to add pitching at the deadline, not sell. And certainly not stand still. One genius repeatedly suggested (re: predicted) Paul Blackburn as a target. Blackburn has a 3.24 ERA across 8 starts since the deadline…
-
And the whole “ asking for too much” is subjective. I mean what if DD tried to dump Scott Kingery for JD…
-
Honestly, Law seems to have it in for most of the AL East teams sometimes. Except the one that used to cut his paychecks…
-
The Sox had played most of those teams on that “brutal schedule” before and had more than handled themselves. That part should not have been the problem. They did need to add to that pitching staff. Relying on pitchers who have already missed time once this year due to injury was a flawed idea from step one…
-
It would be nice for once if that .180-hitting SS would play in a Spring Training game or two and shake the rust off before the season began…
-
You can but they won’t be good starters…
-
Fans throw around fire sale talk if the team is on pace to win 88 games…
-
As long as they don’t go overboard. We don’t want to find out Roman Anthony is an incredible player and then have to deal him away because we dropped a few too many Benjamins for far too long on Aaron Nola and Jack Flaherty…
-
I think that point is overblown. And who are the Sox allegedly trading him to and for what?
-
I look at it this way. In the last 3 years, the Sox were right there at the trade deadline. In two of those years, he Bloom did nothing and the talk fell apart. The one year he made moves and reached the ALCS. The next year he didn’t and the team collapsed. The third year he didn’t learn from the second year. Not sure if that’s why Henry fired him. It is why I would have…
-
Really? Money is still getting run by the same guy…
-
Think Snell is really going to be on the radar?
-
Crawford took major steps forward this year. I’m optimistic. I pencil him in to the rotation. Pivetta? Long man/emergency starter? He’s not a terrible pitcher. But that does seem like a wasteful role from a guy who probably gets $7-8 mill in arbitration…
-
What you meant was “how good would Mookie really be if this league wasn’t so watered down?”
-
Agreed. Two is the limit. Also hopefully the new order believes that Houck and (especially) Whitlock as bullpen arms…
