Bogaerts would be a tough call for me. The bat plays. The glove doesn’t. And if you can extend the more critical player in Devers, what do you do with Bogaerts once you realize he isn’t a shortstop anymore?
-
Absolutely. Multiple options. No need to rush. Not like Devers - with one year to go - is going to give the Sox any discount for signing him early…
-
Exactly you can’t sign any player until that player is ready to sign. That includes Bogaerts. Of course the idea the Sox need to rush with Devers is ridiculous. Signed out not, he’s on the Sox in 2023…
-
Why on Earth would they need to do that? And was Devers offer really a lowball offer?
-
No. It turns out that just because a lot of people believe something doesn’t make it true. A lot of people used to think the old was flat - heck some still do. Does that mean it was ever true?
-
He’s competing against galehouse in that game. I will say that is definitely the big leagues…
-
I certainly hope so…
-
Even when it makes no sense…
-
Sorry. Other than to satisfy an impatient fan base, why would the Bogaerts situation need to be settled before the Sox know their needs and budget? That seems exactly the opposite of how it should be done
-
That kind of turnover isn’t that uncommon in MLB
-
The Sox aren’t rebuilding…
-
Oh he absolutely does. I do get some acquisitions are more geared towards long term goals, but some short term improvements are necessary…
-
Probably not. Polio is still around. Bubonic plague is still around. Eradicating a disease is not easy…

That can be said about plenty of Red Sox teams that didn’t come in last, too… -

I think people make way to big a deal of the last place finishes. I’ve seen plenty of non-playoff Sox teams that were less exciting but whose saving grace is they played in a division with one of two even worse teams… -
It’s not a complaint so much as a fact that next year’s team looks a lot like last years team so far. But that’s also true for all of MLB…
-
I fully expect to be…
-
Absolutely. And ideally do so while keeping Whitlock in the crapshoot mitigation bullpen…
-
Or the fact that the Phillies rode the worst bullpen of all the postseason teams into the World Series…
-
It doesn’t eliminate it, but it does mitigate it…
-
Well, he’s making player evaluations and completely ignoring batting averages and RBI!! Would ol’ Harry Frazee do that? Huh? Would he? You don’t see Harry Frazee ignoring batting average!! You know why? Because!!
-
Did teams even make those moves back then? It’s easy to think those MiLB free agent moves were sprays there, but if you go back and look at the transactions from teams even in the late 1980s, B-R doesn’t have any MiLB deals…
-
Downs’ leash just got a lot shorter. Ronaldo Hernandez is probably absent from this list. He’s future role is DH. One has to wonder how much more Dalbec the Sox will put up with, too…
-
Perez and Pederson accepted QOs. Tyler Anderson signed with the Angels. That’s the list…
-
They should release Brasier before hard-throwing lefties, soft-throwing righties, and December.
