To where?
-
The Sox biggest issue in 2022 was injured SP. With Sale and Paxton already on board and Eovaldi in process, adding Heaney only figure to be more of the same problem rather than a solution…
-
I expect Bogaerts to decline (who doesn’t?) and negotiate around the league. I expect Eovaldi to decline but continue to negotiate with the Red Sox and likely land a multiyear deal. I also expect only Joc Pederson, Tyler Anderson and Martin Perez to accept offers…
-
Those high velocity arms need to throw strikes. The Sox have a trio of speed demons on the cusp of MLB in Darwinzon, German and Wallace, but finding the strike zone has been an occasional issue for all of them…
-
It does seem like Heaney is garnering a lot of interest early for some reason…
-
There is that. Of course the Cubs reportedly have $125mill to spend plus his fellow countryman in Suzuki…
-
No. It’s because we don’t play on the West Coast and don’t have any Japanese players to help him assimilate. The only reason he might prefer Boston is if he grew up in a generation that idolized Daisuke. Otherwise, what do we have to offer?
-
Hamilton for Kittredge. Book it…
-
All of that makes him better than Brasier right now…
-
I’m higher on Jacob Wallace than most, but I think he could help the 2023 bullpen at some point. And if I ran a small market club, I’d absolutely take him in the Rule 5 draft if he was left unprotected…
-
Unfortunately I do think this will be a bigger factor than I prefer it being…
-
Bogaerts might cost more as well. MLBTR predicted 7 yrs $189mill ($27mill AAV) for Bogaerts and 5 yrs $110mill ($22mill AAV) for Nimmo. Given that the Sox could use either one, their roughly equal offensively and one is projected for fewer years at a lower AAV, I do think it’s not a bad idea to replace Bogaerts with Nimmo. Especially since Kike allows for ease of adjusting the lineup…
-
Is he Rule 5 eligible?
-
A pleasant surprise?
-
Why not just sign Nimmo, who is his offensive equal, has OF experience, looks to be significantly cheaper, probably accepts fewer years, and is roughly the same age? The only advantage Bogaerts has is he won’t cost Boston draft picks or IFA capital…
-
Unless they plan to use Scott this year…
-
If the idea was to move Kike to SS and sign Nimmo, that’s a clever move OPS+ from 2020 to 2023 Nimmo: 133 Bogaerts: 130 But if Nimmo is only looking at 5 years / $110, you can’t re-sign Bogaerts at that price… That’s a lower AAV than Bogaerts already rejected…
-
From 2017 through 2021, Kike played in 597 out of 708 games. At what point is he considered an every day player?
-
Verdugo is probably on that list as well…
-
Prediction: Verdugo-Hernandez-Gallo (2years / $25mill) My preference would be: Verdugo-Hernandez-Laureano Pipe dream Verdugo-Nimmo-Laureano with Kike moving to SS…
-
That’s why I prefer a shorter term. My bigger concern with Eovaldi was that even before the injuries, he was far too homer-prone…
-
And that there was a subsequent IL trip a short time late does strongly point to a guy who came back too early. If “multiyear” means two years, I’m fine with it. Three years, I’d be hesitant (although beyond complaining about it, my options are limited). Four years or more? Walk away…
-
I hate long deals, too, but the days of locking up your star players on 6-7 year deals are all but Jurassic at this point. Players like the long term security. The Super High AAV for Very Short Years is a new trend, but I’m not sure it’s any better. If a team gives, say, Jake deGrom a 3 year $120mill deal, and deGrom needs TJ six months later, that takes down a team for multiple seasons in multiple ways…
-
He made two starts after returning from the IL. Which one scared you more?
-
Devers is 26. I’d much rather give 10 years to a 26yo than 4 years to a 31yo…
