Well, we do get a whole new addition to the free agents list. And occasionally some of them are interesting…
-
I know. Moment of silence as Hernandez gets to see MLB from the perspective of a whole new injured list…
-
I’m not so sure about that. I think scouts drink more…
-
They could take him in the Rule 5 draft but then Gonzalez has to spend his first year above A ball in MLB. Trading for him allows them to keep him in the minors
-
Fair point. But the decision makers are at the top…
-
His surplus value may drop with a new pending arbitration salary Cleveland is less willing/able to pay…
-
Well hopefully they can put together a reasonable package to acquire him. Or Houser. Or both and leave Whitlock and Houck in the bullpen….
-
And why bother? The fans always side with the player. As we re-re-re-re-re-discuss the Mookie situation, a negotiation in which the Sox reportedly offered $200million up to $300milll, and Mookie balked reportedly sticking to $400mill, the problem is the Six didn’t counteroffer. But with Bogaerts and Lester, the Sox offered lowball contracts, neither Lester nor Bogaerts countered, and fans blamed the Sox again. I tell you, there may be no easier job in the world than sports agent. You clearly don’t need to negotiate anything…

No. Baseball is all about cherry-picking, because teams play 162 games and everyone wins between 40% and 60% of them. (And those rarities that do fall outside that range don’t fall outside it by much.) You can literally find bad stretches for any team. It just depends how much you emphasize them to support whatever point you’re trying to make. You can’t always do that to football teams…
-
That was a different Sox office.
-
That 29-30 stretch started off with a 2-10 stretch. After that they went 27-20 in their last 47 games. I suppose it depends when you like to start. July was the only month in which they were under .500…
-
So… Three Sox trade targets I expect to hear them linked to. Adrian Houser Cal Quantrill Brad Keller Also I suspect signing Ryan Yarborough will happen at some point…
-
The Mariners might have a whole new roster by then…
-
It had more members of the 2020 squad…
-
No but I expected the team to get worse quickly at some point as Price and Sale aged and no pitching on the horizon to pick up the slack…
-
The Sox had a slew of expensive veterans declining, no cheap help from below and got 24 games worse. People said this would happen for 3 years. And then it did. And the whole way down, did you deny they were getting worse?
-
And one Yarborough, who would surprise no one by coming to Boston…
-
The free agent class difference-makers this year are either old or oft-injured or both. (Not including Sengai, of whom I know nothing.) But the bullpen options are largely uninspiring, so much so I think Chris “The Journeyman” Martin ranks among the top 3 options available. I’d still try to get one of Jansen, Martin and Fulmer. But that doesn’t lock up this bullpen…
-
The Cliff started in 2019 when the Sox fell 24 games in the standings…
-
But it was only in the LCS. He’s talking about the Little League World Series…
-
Betts was worth fewer fWAR in 2021 and 2022 combined than he was in 2018. Benintendi disappeared completely in 2020, and has slowly rebounded over the past two years. No mention of Sale? Kimbrel? Barnes? Martinez? They all maintained, right? And who stepped up from the farm to help out?
-
Ok. But with such a contract be legal?
-
You’re not the first one to say that…
-
True. Of course even in my scenario, I didn’t portray him as smart…
-
Hey when I’m the guy defending the Yankees, there is absolutely reasonable doubt. I’m fine accusing them of starting the Crimean War, kidnapping the Lindbergh baby and getting Arrested Development cancelled. And I’ll do it all without proof…
