What if - perish the thought - the eye still in the playoff hunt right before the deadline? Do they hold Devers and prioritize the current season? Or trade him and hope things work out in the future?
Drury wouldn’t be a bad depth option. He’s basically Dalbec but with fewer strikeouts.
Not wild about Conforto, especially as a RF at Fenway. But he is one of those guys who rarely went undrafted in fantasy leagues. Greatly prefer Brian Anderson for RF at Fenway.
Andrus would be nice for defense or Profar for offense to fill up the MI.
Also screw Chafin. Fulmer is the guy you want…
Really didn’t want Swanson. After not wanting Story last off-season, I would have really detested that signing. (Although Story was a mildly pleasant surprise.)
Technically the Dodgers lost Gallo. Also you list Cordero as added by the Orioles but not lost by the Red Sox.
And take out the MiLB players. Every team has those…
I don’t think any agent has been expecting as much money as they’ve been getting from any team.
Matt Strahm for example, was ok but certainly nothing special. He did get one year older. Also, he tripled in value. How, exactly?
Why do we assume half full is a good thing? It’s very situational. I mean, if you’re holding a half a cup of blood, isn’t half-empty the preferable option?
No idea how that chain of thought hit me this morning…
Soxprospects puts the Sox down for needing SP, SS and RF.
Id prefer Yoshida at DH if he isn’t very good in the OF, and the lack of a good DH market does help make that case…
Very true. They may spend more or less.
But we do know these two non-disputable facts.
1. The money isn’t coming from a bottomless pit.
2. The Sox budget isn’t relying on input from Talksox, so complaining about people discussing it may not have the desired effect.
Story’s arm strength dropped from a middle-of-the-shortstop-pack at 82mph down to a bottom-feeding 79mph. Of course, Dansby Swanson was already there..
