He rebuilt the Tigers through free agency and dealing the farm. That’s not much different than what he did in Boston…
-
Not to mention, Click went to Houston and presided over a World Series champ. Bloom didn’t work out, but the track record of former Rays’ execs is solid…
-
Either Bader or Duvall could platoon, but given the current and likely state of the Sox outfield, a full time starting job isn’t hard to imagine…
-
I’m not sold on small sample sizes for his pop. He’s a career .396 SLG with a .153 ISO. He can pop a bit I suppose. But he’s a limited hitter. If you’re looking for a RH hitter, Bader is probably not the guy. But I like him because he’s a good overall ballplayer and a big defensive step up…
-
Assuming anyone else would give him a full time job. Boston might be his best fit. And if the Sox move Verdugo or Duran, Duvall has a clearer path to starting full time than he would on most teams…
-
I don’t think I’m going out on a weak limb when I state that there is zero chance Stanton and his 4 year $118 remaining contract will not be limited to a weak side platoon role at DH…
-
Duvall is actually a pretty good fit given his right-handed power and that he has the defensive skillset to handle RF at Fenway better than most other available options…
-
Certainly he is. He was the only one who didn’t have multiple last place finishes on his watch…
-
Urias feels like the most likely. Especially if the new boss isn’t remarkably fond of him…
-
Hopefully not. Valdez couldn’t catch a cold of he was naked in Norway. (I do like that line for bad defense, but I will work on a newer one.)
-
I’m sure you can extend Duran lot going all the way to $80mill…
-
Wrong, or at least incomplete. It’s not just an “84 win team for $240mill”; it was “a $240mill 84 win team with $300mill still committed to 3 oft-injured pitchers.”. And sometimes I talk about the death of minimum wage help available. You don’t think that was a factor in why DD was fired? Or do you think he was fired for being sassy with JH? It’s not like I’m misrepresenting anything; I’m not the one who fired Dombrowski…
-
Then get and extend Juan Soto…
-
I think the list is simple. 1. Money. It’s a job after all. 2. Years. But not to stretch out the money. Add more money and let my retirement be my choice. 3. Playing time. I think most players would rather start on a bad team than sit on the bench of a good one. That’s what I think players look for. Although I admit I didn’t interview any to make that list…
-
It’s like any other job. Money is a huge factor…
-
Which team of his had a payroll that high?
-
You’re speaking for Henry…
-
Are you implying I need to improve?
-
I think that last one fits that category…
-
I assume those who want to add a 2b are thinking 2024 only…
-
Well they shouldn’t sign a 1b. But Devers and Casas are both among the worst at their positions. Chapman will unfortunately require a larger deal than the Sox should spend upgrading the infield. After him the best defensive 3b on the market is probably Isiah Kiner-Falefa, who should only be signed as a bench player. They probably simply go with Urias, who does have some right-handed pop at 2b. Whether they offer arbitration or non-tender him and try to re-sign him for less remains to be seen…
-
And you don’t think that falling out has anything to do with building a $240mill 84-win team with $300mill on the books for three frequently injured pitchers? Because if you’re saying Henry fired him for timbering else, it really paints a picture where Henry is much more tolerant…
-
Is that a requirement?
-
The Rockies never trade anyone. Luis Urias, already on Boston, hit 39 HRs and had an OPS+ of 111 in 2021 through 2022. He’s not pop-free and does hit right handed. And he’s 10 months younger than Rodgers…
-
I’m not local to there. So it’s the I-5…
