I think DD got fired for questionable (not illegal, just expensive and not smart) financial practices, which a lot of teams have limitations on.

Money is the safe answer that works in 99.999999% of all free agencies. There are other reasons. I remember a story about one pitcher (I want to say Rick White, but I’m also sure that’s not it) once negotiated his own deal with the Cardinals because St.Louis had some very good special education schools his son needed. But those are the rarest of the rare reasons…

Which is like looking at the plumbing under the kitchen sink to stop the leaks in the toilet. (That’s not where the problem is.)

You mean like he did in about 3,000 of his previous 5200 posts?
-
We, committed in March. They actually blew everything up kind of fast. They didn’t want to see of it was just some bad years from some key folk? Maybe see if Edwin Diaz makes up some of the slack?
-
Do you really think being a potential contender is what free agents look for? Where do you think that is on the checklist?
-
Chances of that are well beyond less than zero. Trading for MLB-ready SP is the hardest thing for a GM to do, unless you want to give up Anthony or Mayer. Any MLB-ready SP you can get for Verdugo, you don’t want…

I doubt the Sox sign both Yamamoto and Nola. Very highly. If the Sox need 2 starting pitchers, and simply do not have an unlimited budget, who do you sign? 1. Nola/Snell/Yamamoto and Alex Cobb 2. Sonny Gray and Marcus Stroman Nola, Snell and Yamamoto were all on MLBTRs top ten free agent list, along with Giolito (for some reason) and Urias (I believe the list predates his issues). But not Gray and Stroman. And the new wild card who should presumably hit their next top ten is Trevor Bauer…

That scenario is about as likely as Chapman…
-
Yes. Used to play QB in the NFL back before the family shortened the name for tax purposes…
-
Pencil in Bello, Crawford, Sale and Pivetta for the bottom 3 slots. Obviously on the occasion Day Sale is healthy one of Pivetta or Crawford gets bumped. Sign Sonny Gray. Then see how you can get that last starter. Trade? Another FA? Beg? Borrow? Steal? Just no Houck and no Whitlock!!

He would if the other option was Kyle Ort…
-
I-5 doesn’t go near Edison?
-
One could also argue that logic applies to every team in history…
-
But the Sox never DFAd the rally monkey…
-
He was referring to first 2 innings only…
-
I think it’s a team option that automatically vests if he meets the terms…
-
Only is odd numbered years apparently
-
The David Eckstein Era…
-
He was very injury prone in 2020…
-
BTV rejects it. Torres alone for Verdugo and Urias is a minor overpay. Schmidt is the most valuable player of the four on their site. Verdugo and Drohan for Torres works…
-
Semien has only missed 11 games in the past 6 seasons!
-
Sort of like David Price…
-
I’d think the only reason the Angels move Trout is to clear salary to re-sign Ohtani. Injuries or not, Trout is a big name player who sells tickets. I’d have to think the Angels top priority would be unloading what’s left of Anthony Rendon plus as much as possible of what’s left of his contract…
-
Actually my biggest concern is the plantar fasciitis. I don’t think he’s a bad player. But I doubt whoever the Sox hire has him on the radar. The Luis Urias Status Quo is far more likely…
