    Of course I checked out BTV. Singer has a surplus value of $10.7mill, which is below the value of any Sox MLB outfielder. Closest is Garcia ($16.9) and no one really knows if the Reds want him, since they have OF prospects, too. A fair deal for Gore is two from Tolle, Arias, and Campbell. Expect them to insist on Tolle…

    Alcantara is an injured mess. While the Sox have the depth to cover him, I can understand passing. Both Singer and Gore have been worth 7.3 fWAR over the past 3 years, tied for 42nd in MLB for pitchers with 150 IP or more in that time. Singer might be the dirt cheap unsexy name that is actually fairly underrated. Only one year is an issue, however. And despite feeling he might be underappreciated, not sure how I feel about an extension…

    Maybe. When was the last time we got that guy?
  4. notin
    I want wild about out it either. KC seems like a reach as a partner…

    I think Story and Mayer/Romy handle two positions. 1b is the easiest place to buy a solution, whether it’s a big contract like Alonso or a lesser one like Hoskins or Bell. And as big contracts go, Alonso is likely to be cheaper than Bregman or Bichette, I assume him to be a fairly likely option. That leaves one 2b/3b to fill. Unlike most, I do not expect a second big contract in the infield. A trade for a player like Marte works certainly. But I expect something more like a trade for Alec Bohm or a second tier FA (Polanco? Kim?) is probably more likely. Both Bregman and Bichette is not happening. The Sox are not demoting Mayer. Even if he is hurt, a stopgap infielder is far more likely. You don’t commit 8 years to Bo Bichette because your top prospect is out for 6 weeks…

    While I love Paredes at Fenway, bear in mind most of those pepper off the monster rather over it. Hes got some line drive in that swing. Ive mentioned him before, but Houston reportedly has no interest in moving him…

    I do, too. But I was writing a joke about him in video games, and I felt it best to keep that particular incident out of the punchline…

    Unless they don’t want to. And all these Sandlin, Mullens, Hicks packages are not going to sway Atlanta towards selling. “Yeah! Mediocre fungible pitching prospects and a longer, more expensive contract for a worse pitcher!! How could we say no?”

    Bubic is likely, but the one year means Duran/Abreu is a lot. Maybe if the include C prospect Blake Mitchell and RHRP Lucas Erceg…

    Well, more likely signing someone like Williams might cut into the extent of the “#2” starter everyone wants. But that’s fair because he will also cut into the IP…

    If that’s your offer, your plans on where to pitch him doesn’t matter…

    It can largely only be done if you take back a (larger?) ugly deal from someone else (which is how we got Hicks) or throw in most/all of the remaining money. At that point, why? So we can sign someone preferable to a deal that turns ugly on 3 years and watch the cycle begin anew?

    You think the Sox should trade John Henry?!? Why have anyone tried that before?!
  14. notin
    Per their fans, they reset last year and will spend this year. That does sound familiar…
  15. notin
    It won’t be prioritized like that. Sign players when they’re willling to sign. Both Alonso and Bregman didnt Sign until late February last year. If they take that long tjis year, should Boston hold off on bullpen help and other needs until then?
  16. notin
    Is Atlanta even selling?
  17. notin
    In today’s bullpen-centric game, it’s a good idea to make game at most 5-6 innings long for opposing hitters…

    No one mentioned he won back-to-back MVPs in The Show. That changes everything! I had him ok mu MLB 9 Innings team, but halfway through the season his character got arrested for DUI so I had to drop him…
  19. notin
    I don’t mention Ozuna because he’s a DH/OF type. If he was a DH/1b, that’s different…

    I hope not. I don’t even like platooning Mayer. But a top 100 RHH prospect in a platoon? You’re better off getting some Ref/Romy LHP-hitting specialist and dealing the prospect for a need. Garcia is too good to waste on the bench or in Worcester right now. Deal him for a pitcher or an infielder….

    I’m not on board with Sale coming back, but he is one year removed from a Cy Young award and is coming off a 4 bWAR season…
  22. notin
    Do the Mets really want Alonso? They only gave him one year last year...
  23. notin
    Most people have forgotten, but Poor Richard's Almanac was the forerunner of Fangraphs...
  24. notin
    Jordan Lawlor is another option...
  25. notin
    I totally believe Cora wants Mayer to be platooned. It's like when Ben Franklin said "There are 3 certainties in life - death, taxes, and Alex Cora using platoons wherever possible."
