No. Just one franchise. The Apple Watch scandal peaked in comparison to the system the Astros put in place. And if the 2017 Astros don’t have their sign-stealing operation, the numbers could easily shift to 3 to 3 once the Sox knocked of the Astros

Let’s get back to some basics and get some folks who can field…

A lefty-lefty platoon?
-
Just everyone they asked…
-
That’s not going to happen. Juan Soto has his own interests to take into account and they very likely do not sync up with the interests of the Padres or Red Sox. There’s a reason the 72 hour window to negotiate died off decades ago..
-
Why? No one else wanted the job, according to you and your sources. That’s not on Bloom or on whoever hired or recommended Bloom…
-
I doubt Boston would be in better shape if they didn’t for Dombrowski. The budget was fairly maxed out when he left…
-
You’re still trading for one year. Any extension you get is done on your own time. And there is a risk the player will not sign one…
-
Sale had 2 years and one very reasonable option left at the time of that trade. (Also BA had Moncada at #2)…
-
No trumpets? Have you been watching the postseason? Those things are everywhere!
-
But the Mets, who has fewer blown saves than all but 2 teams (one of which was Boston), had other problems Diaz was not going to solve. Namely they rarely took leads into the ninth inning…

Your standards are far too high. Bring a playoff contender is all that matters. Last week you (and most) would have put Atlanta and LA in the top 4-6 ring contender category, and probably left out Philly and Arizona. And certainly if you didn’t rank Philly last among the 6 NL postseason teams last year, then your system was flawed. But the reality is - there is no magic formula and no ranking that matters. There is a should have parity in baseball and just getting into the postseason is all that matters. (Although getting a bye is nice.)…

But he sure can pitch! (Rimshot) Also I’m a tad disappointed in you for missing that one…
-
At the end of the day, the OF might be Duran in LF, Abreu and Rafaela platooning in CF, and Verdugo in RF…
-
And 12 would have eliminated two Ranger teams…
-
Probably a little more, because San Diego hopefully won’t make the Sox eat half of David Price’s deal…
-
So rewarding cheaters? And it’s really not the AL West. You’re largely just counting the Astros…

Get that resume in order! https://blogs.fangraphs.com/instagraphs/job-posting-red-sox-multiple-openings/

That was for 2 1/2 years of Soto. If they deal him now, they’re giving up one year…
-
If Abreu doesn’t start, or at least platoon, he needs to be on Worcester…
-
What if I have a paper tiger with two left feet of clay?
-
No because he said it right after signing John Lackey to the largest free agent contract given to a pitcher in team history at the time…
-
His glove is still better than most other options…
-
No more JD. If the Sox add a bat, that player has to field. Duvall’s OPS was .060 lower and hit 12 fewer home runs in 150 fewer PA. S do not as good with the bat, but at least Duvall is a Gold Glove right fielder…

The only thing everyone seems to agree on is the need for two starting pitchers. Catcher has not really been touted as an area or potential improvement. And I don’t think anyone would be surprised if it remained untouched. The infield could also go untouched assuming the new head honcho doesn’t want to upgrade the defense. The only question mark is 2b, which could easily just go to Urias. Or some cheaper version of Urias. The OF is an overcrowded mess, even if Duvall doesn’t return. If Yoshida does actually move to DH, the Sox still have Duran, Verdugo, Rafaela, Abreu and Refsnyder and only Refsnyder has a clear role. The Sox could start any of them. Or start Duran and Verdugo and let Abreu and Rafaela start in Worcester. Or trade Duran and Verdugo. Or demote and trade 2. Too many possibilities, with status quo as one them. The bullpen could also already be full. Or someone might move and roles get changed. Lots of possibilities including, again, status quo…
