Only Altuve has been there long enough to be a free agent. They let Correa, Springer, Cole, Keuchel, and many others just walk away via free agency…
-
2003 through 2009. They made the postseason 6 times, reached the ALCS 4 times, won 2 World Series titles and the one “bad” year they finished 3rd at 86-76…
-
Has it hurt Houston?
-
Bogaerts had an .833 OPS with 15 HRs. Maybe Yoshida can do that…
-
Good call. Overall it is an iffy proposition, however…
-
Me too. I’d prefer not relying on them, however…
-
I don’t sift…
-
Even the younger guys signing $300mill deals have had issues. Trout isn’t the same. Tatis started his deal off on a nightmare trajectory of injuries and steroid scandals. Stanton has had too many years as a part timer. Is Betts the King of $300 mill players by a lot?
-
Barring a 1st year arb catcher, are any of them at $4mill upgrades over McGuire?
-
And Correa was just an example of a player waiting and taking a short deal. Someone like Eovaldi on a one year deal would not be a bad thing…
-
And $10mill last year. So $14mill for one year…
-
None of us knows the plans. 9 months ago, was Story in the plans?
-
If it pushed the Sox into the postseason, are you for it?
-
The Sox new ace? https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/12/mets-listening-to-trade-offers-on-carlos-carrasco.html He’s due $14mill for one season and hurt all the time. He’s just like Paxton!!
-
Paxton needs Steve Austin style surgeries, not a chemical rubdown…
-
I’m sure money is a factor, but if you can get a player on a 3 year deal (with an opt-out?) instead of a 10-12 year deal, is it worth waiting as well? Like the Twins with Correa last year…
-
Both are equally injurious to him. Ditto hummingbirds and condors…
-
With 3 wild cards, they can in theory get in while still trailing all those teams. But yes, they will need to pass someone. Toronto is an interesting one. They’ve made some great move but also lost a massive bat and replaced him with a glove player
-
The Sox won 78 games last year while getting 7 IP from Sale and Paxton. They probably need to improve by 8 games minimum to make the postseason. They’ve lost Bogaerts and JD as well. The current in-house replacements of Yoshida and Hosmer/Dalbec are not going to fill that void. I expect Yoshida will get back some. I have no faith in the others. The bullpen should be greatly improved, which is nice. Probably not “8 more wins” nice. But it’s a step. But as of right now, the biggest thing working for the Sox is it’s still only mid-December. While predicting the next moves has shown to be impossible, that does mean improvement is. We really have no choice but to see how these next two months play out…
-
It’s very hard to envision them getting one. This season might rest heavily on the shoulders (and elbows) of Sale and Paxton…
-
There was a huge drop off in talent after Contreras and Muller. I noticed old friend and perennial waiver-wire fodder Joel Payamps was somehow involved in that deal, likely only to free up a 40 man roster spot for Oakland…
-
And one trade was the sample for the counterpoint. Mine was just more recent of the two…
-
I know BTV is not the authority on trade value, but the one team that consistently gets ripped off on their model is Oakland…
-
No!!! The Globe sports journalism needs to improve mightily just to the sporting version of the Weekly World News…
-
Sometimes yes. Although I think he was under control through 2023 at the time of that deal. Contreras went for peanuts just yesterday…
