More like Early plus either Tolle or Arias plus another. For one year of Skubal. Worth it if you can extend Skubal, but thats no guarantee since it is Skubal’s decision. If he won’t extend, it’s not exactly unheard of. The Yankees, Orioles and Cubs all made blockbuster deals for Soto, Burns, and Tucker respectively only to watch each reach free agency after one year. Probably not what any of them hoped for, but it shows it’s not as easy as filling out a few forms to extend a player…

I refuse to label any individual current member as “unlikely”, and solely because being on the Sox trumps being on the Sox wishlist. I do think one of Duran or Abreu moves, but I cannot tell you which one, so both are individually likely starters, while the pair is unlikely. Rafaela is definitely likely to start, despite not being among your favorites (which is ok. Obvious, but ok.) Breslow brought in a reigning Gold Glove 3b for up to 3 years at the highest AAV in team history, and left the decision to stay up to the player. That doesn’t sound like a makeshift 3b while Devers heals to me. Plus Cora reportedly wanted Devers to start at 3b in April with Bregman at 2b. So how much did any injury really affect the decision to move Devers off third?

I think it’s more likely they deal one of the starters plus Garcia. But he might get offers he simply cannot refuse. Rafaela is probably the least likely to be dealt, since the Sox have shown they do put some value on defense. If they didn’t, Devers would still be here butchering 3b…

Some clickbaits link the Sox to Schwarber, but they’re no more reliable than our posts. Supposedly Cora wanted Yoshida in the OF last year, and that was probably the driving force behind him just sitting out rather than DHing in Worcester. I would bet heavily against Boston signing Schwarber, primarily because the Sox have only two returning starting infielders (three if you count Casas) with legitimate durability concerns. Schwarber does nothing to alleviate this issue, which is something you can’t say about Bregman and Alonso, which is probably a good reason to focus on those two first. Ketel Marte also fills a void, but that is more difficult to make happen (at least for me, since Hazen still won’t return my calls). But if the Sox are getting interest on both Abreu and Duran, with enough interest they potentially could move both. That opens up a corner OF spot for Campbell, Garcia, Yoshida, or possibly another acquisition. They might even give Campbell or Garcia (or both) chances and fix it at the deadline if it isn’t working out. Really it comes down to what they can get for each. If the Sox still had Bloom or Cherington, dealing both to bolster the farm would be more likely. Not really sure Breslow acts similarly, but he might get an offer for each he simply cannot refuse…

Well, off the 40 man. He is an easy choice to DFA at some point, and he is likely to go unclaimed and he can then be sent to Worcester. He does not have the service time required to refuse assignment and declare free agency, unless that changes in the new CBA(which is possible, but very unlikely). pBest case scenario for Gray is he becomes one of those guys every team wants but no one wants to commit a 40 man roster spot to, so he goes through a long, repetitive cycle of being claimed and DFAd by several teams and gets mention MLBTR weekly…

I seriously doubt it came down to a choice between Pete Alonso and Tristan Gray. More like a choice between David Hamilton and Tristan Gray…

Gray is basically a left-handed hitting Romy. He plays first, second and third and crushes left-handed pitching. Now if only the Sox had a UIF capable of hitting right-handed pitching…
