They can pitch. End of argument…
-
Well, the Sox are very likely to sign a slew of players to MiLB contracts starting soon. You could act like each one was the sole focus of the front office and maybe even throw around the phrase “lightning in a bottle” a few times every time the Sox grab a 26yo minor league pitcher. The key to selling it is to de-emphasize the “minor league” aspect of the contract. In fact, never mention it at all and act like it’s a multiyear MLB deal…
-
I think slow off-seasons are the norm these days. I don’t expect very many major moves until after the New Year…
-
I don’t think they will give up on Darwinzon s quickly as you think. He’s 24 and still has options left. But Ort can go now…
-
I wonder how many would think he was promising if they knew his fastball sat at 86-90mph. That’s not bad for an 18yo, but it’s not crazy uncommon either…
-
Or… it’s only Thanksgiving (Happy Thanksgiving, btw) and the off-season is rarely in any sort of motion yet anyway. Last year was a bizarre outlier because teams were rushing to make moves before the lockout. I do actually wonder if Rangers GM Chris Young started his lockout by reflecting on his flurry of moves and saying “Wait… I paid Corey Seager how much?”
-
He’s saying the Sox would have grabbed Park with a Rule 5 pick, but instead decided to trade for him. I see what they like about him, but he’sa stretch to be anything more than a utility infielder and the Sox will probably try to sneak him (or Downs) through waivers at some point…
-
Maybe the Red Sox know more about this guy than we do and just because he had a good ERA in 22 innings of the Dominican Summer League really doesn’t mean he has a future in MLB…
-
Neither has anyone else. The biggest free agent names off the board so far are Tyler Anderson, Martin Perez and Joc Pederson…
-
Or… he wouldn’t. Let’s say Seattle ranked those outfielders from worst to best. Then Duran would be ON TOP of their depth chart. That’s right. Numero Uno. It’s all about perspective. But if Seattle did that, suddenly that trade looks just a little better, doesn’t it?
-
Not only did they trade for him, they publicly said he’s replacing Bogaerts!!! Or maybe they didn’t and he’s a guy that will struggle to hold a utility infielder position…
-
If they DFA Ort, it’s worth it…
-
Even Dave Dombrowski signed guys like Ryan LaMare, Brennan Boesch and Anthony Varvaro…
-
Upgrade? Over Diekman, probably…
-
2021, one of only 2 years (and counting) that did not occur PRIOR TO 2021…
-
But do we know what Devers is asking for, including years?
-
I really doubt this is the only bullpen move, even if they decide to keep Whitlock in the bullpen full time…
-
He was traded to upgrade defense. Some theories involve including Seiya Suzuki in that defense…
-
His CF numbers were too small to draw from, but he really lacked the range…
-
You do realize in the original post you said prior to 2021. Right? “Siri, what team did Hunter Renfroe play got in /021?” “No, Siri, the other Hunter Renfroe!”
-
He really struggled with RF at Fenway. But he could cover up quite a few defensive shortcomings with that arm. His lack of versatility didn’t help much either. Cora had to use him in CF a few times (not Renfroe’s fault) and it really wasn’t good…
-
Not to mention, who cares if anyone said it? Not like Bloom reads web forums for his player valuations…
-
Sarcasm aside, Milwaukee still unloaded him for the exact reasons I stated. And actually, so did Tampa..
-
Do I dare text my Cubs” fan daughter, who actually liked Crook?
-
That’s a fair point, but is Rendon a good comp if Devers cannot stick at third?
