But how would that differ from Cherington?
-
There’s a reason notin was not rude about it the first time…
-
If the Sox can only bring back one of Turner or Duvall, or should be Duvall. Duvall is a Gold Golve winning OF, whereas Turner has no real position anymore. And if the Sox are to upgrade the defense while moving Verdugo, they really don’t have anyone else capable of playing RF at Fenway…
-
No you were right the first time. Gilbert was selected in 2018…
-
I don’t quite see the parallel between Urias and Nola. The Dodgers can let Urias walk and backfill with any of their younger arms. The Phillies have very little depth after Nola and Wheeler. The thing about Urias is if you like him, you have to really like him. He’s likely to command a 7-8 year deal…

Like Drohan?
-
I agree with 5Gold. If Dombrowski and his Open Wallet and Future Budget Blind Spot) don’t sign Nola there is a good reason. Nola already makes about $17mill and is very unlikely to take a pay cut. I’m open minded on Yamamoto, but I know absolutely nothing about him so I will let others fight that battle. I do think it sounds like he could prove himself out of Boston. Of all the free agents I know about, I’m on board the Sonny Gray bandwagon. At least until I see what the fare is…
-
Yes because I haven’t looked into it. Are there successes? Absolutely. But the bad contracts outweigh the good ones. Of course some folks think getting 4 good years on a 7 year deal is “good.”
-
Nola has a ERA+ of 103 over the past 3 years. Gray has an ERA+ of 129 in that same time frame. 2018 is going back too far. Of course I don’t think the Sox should sign any of them. Free agency is simply overpaying players in their 30s for things they accomplished in their 20s for another team. It rarely works out for anyone but the player’s agent…
-
I don’t know anything about Yamamoto, except that the Sox won’t outbid the pack for him. Ohtani won’t be worth it. The best 3 pitchers I know about are Urias, Sonny Gray and Snell. Nola isn’t as good as people think. And Gray is better than people think. Nola and Giolito are league-average pitchers. You insult Sonny Gray by putting him equal to one and below the other…
-
I’d be ok with Nola if he’d the a Taillon contract. But if he wants to be paid like Rodon (or even Edwin Diaz), hard pass. He’s a league-average pitcher…
-
And the real problem was failing to rectify this at any point afterwards…
-
But Kluber is already gone. Wacha and his injury history will be around for 2-3 more years…
-
Free agent pitching sucks. Who was the last free agent starting pitcher the Sox signed that worked out?
-
No one wants Sale. It would be easier to get rid of herpes…
-
Casas should stay. The Sox do have an outfield glut and a SP dearth. Cost-controlled Duran could be moved due to a potential lack of position/starting role. I know people think “but he won’t get an ace and we need an ace!! Maybe two aces!!” And they’d be right if this was 1985. But todays SP need not be aces on the Bullpen Driven Era. I do think the Sox can land a decent enough SP for Duran. And role with Yoshida-Rafaela(or Abreu)-Verdugo in the OF…
-
I wouldn’t be surprised to here that Paxton was taken to a veterinarian and mercifully put to sleep…
-
Two of them were depth options. But nothing can be real learned about a prospect as a pitcher over a few scattered IP here and there. Murphy and Walter are not the problems on this staff…

9/01 SOX @ Royals 8:10PM ET

He was stupid at the deadline. That’s not in doubt. Even if everyone coming back from injury came back at 100%, did he thinks the injuries are over? And that for the remaining ONE THIRD of a season, that no pitcher would get hurt? -
Those 3 pitchers have a combined career total of 60 IP…
-
Duvall did win a Gold Glove in RF 2 years ago over some defensive whiz kid on the Dodgers…
-
Please name one Bloom acquisition you saw coming…
-
They really should do it. And move Duran for a pitcher. I’ve thrown out Braxton Garrett due to similar trade values on BTV. But a more likely scenario is a first or second year arb-eligible pitcher. Or a third year arb guy, like Brandon Woodruff. It’s far more likely than thinking the Sox will outbid the pack for Yamamoto…
-
It’s not that drastic. Moving Devers to 1b is definitely in his future anyway.
-
Mookie Betts and David Price have been traded to Dodgers
notin replied to Jasonbay44's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
It did if it lasted 4 years…
