  1. You’re very into adding dead people this off-season. Will the Professor be warming up Lefty Grove? Will there be budget left to sign Ross Youngs for RF?
  2. Start with Nimmo, Montero and Fulmer. With a Bogaerts extension, that’s $50-60 mill…
  3. We’ve been down this Suzuki/Story rabbit hole before. All of it hinges on assumptions that Bradley was going to platoon. What if that was never the plan?
  4. Hopefully fans get that trying to build something sustainable and be competitive at the same time is a difficult task. Know why? Because they’re both difficult tasks individually. Just doing one doesn’t guarantee any success at it. We’ve all seen that before multiple times…
  5. Soxprospects.com lists him as Rule 5 eligible on his page, but not on their list of eligibles…
  6. Enmanuel Valdez?
  7. The Sox top 5 at the time included Bello and Casas…
  8. I don’t think Cordero gets protected. He has been DFAd before and is eligible for arbitration. I suspect he will be non-tendered…
  9. But the Great Mandolini is reaching free agency!!
  10. He’s never healthy. Victor Robles is another DFA candidate with some defensive chops and at least shows up for work…
  11. We should have kept Bradley and sent him back…
  12. They’ll definitely be moving a few pieces one way or another. And certainly not picking up Kiermeier’s option Choi is an obvious one. Yarborough would also not surprise anyone, either. If they do decide to trade Diaz, hopefully Bloom is there making offers…
  13. No. He’s untradable…
  14. Looking at the full list, the most interesting of the obvious non-tender candidates is Cody Bellinger. No way the Dodgers should even think about any other option with him. But I also wonder if Yandy Diaz at $5.4mill is a non-tender possibility for the Rays, who have a ton of pending cases…
  15. Call him back and say “Notin cleared it.” Then just hang up. You might need to use my personal passcode for authentication purposes. It’s “Draco kumquat weasel.” I didn’t choose it…
  16. Ok. Scale the offers accordingly..
  17. I’m thinking more asking the lines of the extensions the Rays gave Longoria after 6 games and Matt Moore after 2 starts…
  18. I know it seems ridiculously early, but really, THIS was how the Rays did things back in the day (and Atlanta does things today). Give both contracts like 5-6 years for $20mill that wind up working out for the Sox even if the players don’t…
  19. There is a difference between exploiting the rules and breaking the rules…
  20. And free agent comp was different. But all rules are exploitable to some degree…
  21. “Let’s check in on Manny now… He appears to be sleeping…. We’ll have further updates when he wakes up for his morning toast and the key question of today’s topping. Early poll results indicate marmalade over grape jelly, with a boring 15% who just say butter”
  22. It’s been done before. Epstein, when he took over…
  23. That’s 4 extremely intelligent minds right there. Plus me for comic relief. At least that was my role back when all of us had that round table show on ESPN24…
  24. I think he will get 6/$150…
