WTF?!!? https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/12/mets-to-sign-carlos-correa.html
-
I don’t think they viewed Bogaerts as a long term solution, either. I mean, in the past 18 months they spent $140mill on one shortstop and spent two first round draft picks on two others. Sure doesn’t look like they planned on keeping him around forever…
-
Probably worth noting the Rays have made the postseason the last four years. In 120 seasons, the Red Sox have never made the postseason 4 years in a row. The Rays are a good team and have been for a while. This isn’t 2006 anymore…

Drury had one good year. Turner is 38. There’s no right answer…

He does have age working in his favor. But next off-season he will only be 7 months younger than Olson was when his deal was signed. I wanted to have hope they’d extend him. But Devers called himself completely differently than how the Sox value him. Ideally both sides should budge. But I don’t know if either one will…

Before the season, the Sox called Devers long term as a 1b/DH and tried to extend him with an AAV similar to the deal Matt Olson received from Atlanta. And long term, Devers probably is a 1b/DH. In the last 3 years, his OPS+ ranks third among active third basemen, behind only a Jose Ramirez and Manny Machado, and just ahead of Austin Riley and Nolan Arenado. As a first baseman in that same timeframe, Devers would have been tied for fifth in MLB among qualified hitters, trailing Goldschmidt, Guerrero Jr., Freeman, and Alonso, and tied with Matt Olson. (Maybe the Sox use of him as a contract comp wasn’t so random.) If the Sox are valuing him the same way as other teams that have extended their players, this goes nowhere fast. And if Devers thinks he’s a $400mill player, that will get him traded even faster.

Before the season. Acquiring team would get a full year of Devers plus a comp pick if there’s no extension…

Mookie was mistreated? Reportedly he was offered $300 mill over 10, which at the time would have been the third largest deal in MLB history. Mookie wanted more, but he was hardly mistreated…

“Galaxies apart” is disheartening. It just comes down to whether or not it’s believable. And current…

It's beginning to feel a lot like ... Oakland or Pittsburgh.

Complete ********. It can be done easily by someone who has repeatedly said he doesn’t understand Bloom supporters because they defend everything Bloom does. And he has posted this multiple times… -
I’ve never paid $18mill for a lottery ticket…

Kiermaier looks like a pauper this season…

I’m still hopeful they chose Devers over Bogaerts, knowing they wouldn’t be able to sign both…

His heart’s an empty hole? His brain is full of spiders? He’s got garlic in his soul? All of the above?

2022? Not likely. 2023? We should know by then…

Ah yes. The beauty of being a pessimist is you always wind up either being proven correct or pleasantly surprised…

I think you’re dad was baiting you. Telling you he’d always welcome you back. Meanwhile he had a locksmith on speed dial for the moment you left …

The sooner the better. Because a lot of players don’t like negotiating during the season…

He certainly hates clarifications…

But they do increase board traffic by 25-30%… -
Well, Moncada at least plays once in a while. But somehow I think the White Sox might not welcome Sale back with open arms. His departure was rather dramatic…
-
You did say he brought him back, right? Like there was a choice. Paxton did exercise his option and made the choice, but at least abloom gave him the option. I can see that connection. Sale is inherited deadweight so far…

I’ve blamed DD for some things with this team. It’s ok. He did them. As for the budget, I assume it’s on Henry. If not and Bloom is making a cheaper team on his own, then it had better work or he’s fired. If not and he’s on a limited budget, the situation is very different… -

I don’t think you’ve mastered how that expression works just yet… -
He didn’t “bring him back.” There was no choice. The only option for Bloom would be to DFA him, which would be the worst option. Really, he didn’t even bring back Paxton. Paxton exercised a player option. He brought himself back…
