  1. I do think it’s kind of weird that we have people insisting they know more about how these players feel day to day than Cora does…
  2. But those guys played those positions before Bloom. The whole idea was Bloom players playing out of position…
  3. Ng is certainly on the list. She was with him for years in LA, tried to get him to come to Miami last off-season (but budget limitations forced her to settle Jean Segura) and then reportedly offered Edward Cabrera for him at the deadline…
  4. No one gave Duvall a multiyear deal last off-season, and he didn’t sign until late January. Now he’s one year older and did nothing to alleviate any concerns about being injury-prone. I don’t think the multiyear offers are going to be there for him…
  5. No Martin? He’s entering his age 38 season, has one year left (at $9.5 mill) and not so likely to replicate his 3.2 bWAR performance…
  6. If you had t to name the Sox player most likely to be traded, Duran has to be at or near the top of that list. His best chance at sticking around is if they envision him as an everyday CF, which is possible. And his departure might be even more likely if BTV is right about him having some serious trade value…
  7. Sox are helped out by the fact the Turner’s #1 fan Kim Ng is currently without a club to recruit him to play for…
  8. I’m calling foul on these. Vazquez played 2b in 2019, before Bloom. Wong played 25 games at 2b as a minor leaguer with the Dodgers…
  9. I don’t see a stint overseas causing anyone to overlook German’s off field alcohol and spouse abuse issues…
  10. We get to include Andre Dawson and Luis Aparicio!!
  11. 1960 NL MVP Dick Groat never played for the Red Sox https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/g/groatdi01.shtml
  12. But most of his contracts have been pretty short. Only Devers, Story and Yoshida signed deals longer than 2 years…
  13. They just extended Reynolds last year. He has 7 years $99mill left. That’s really not outrageous…
  14. He’s also expressed interest in being extended. Hopefully Breslow at least sees what he wants…
  15. The Twins exercised their option on Kepler, giving them a LHH right fielder who has fared far better on defensive metrics than Verdugo…
  16. What about Candelario?
  17. He needs a partner…
  18. Unless Breslow decides he isn’t. I won’t speak for Breslow; I just acknowledge he makes the calls…
  19. The one area where the Sox were far and away worst in MLB was defense. DRS ranked them 24th in MLB, and that was their most favorable defensive ranking. OAA not only had them 30th, but also had them very, very far behind the team ranked 29th. Moving Yoshida to DH ain’t gonna fix this on its own…
  20. Story is certainly the front runner for the job, especially since it’s typically easier to find a good 2b as opposed to a good SS…
  21. The solutions are potentially linked. We have some starters that we feel belong in the bullpen. And presumably if the Sox do trade Jansen, it won’t be for cash…
  22. I didn’t mind the not selling. But when it was coupled with the not buying, that’s a different story…
  23. Sonny Gray and Charlie Morton. (Also Nola, Giolito and Snell, but how many do we need?)
  24. Hey if the Rangers limited themselves to reliable starting pitching, they would have had no deGrom, no Eovaldi, no Heaney and no October…
  25. It’s not even that easy, what with money complicating things…
