Semien was the active shortstop leader in fWAR over the previous 4 years at the time…
-
That has nothing to do with the Yankees…
-
But then if we don’t know what the cost is, how can we say the Sox have mishandled it? Not to mention, he isn’t gone yet. Heck, he hasn’t even opted out yet…
-
Not to mention how ARod was treated by that organization. I admit I am still an A-Rod fan who, while I did want him to fail as a Yankee - admits it was solely because he was a Yankee. And I think he gets a ton of buildout he never deserved for what he did for that team…
-
Or winning fewer World Series titles in the past 20 years. Let’s not forget that part of it…
-
And Semien at $175mill. There is a clear divider between getting Seager/Lindor money and getting Story/Semien money - not being 30…
-
Or no mention of the Yankees letting Andy Pettitte go to Houston…
-
I would assume he should move at some point. He’s been openly resistant in the past, however. And he just didn’t like third base when he came up. Granted all of that was a long time ago and he could certainly feel different now…
-
There was something about his contract and its impact on the luxury tax. He did get lucky getting that one career year out of Ross…
-
Seriously? It’s on a blog called “Yanks Go Yard,” which is part of Fansided. Just because they labeled “Red Sox News” doesn’t make it objective. In fact, it wasn’t even news; it was commentary. It was just the opinion of a guy who clearly didn’t understand or believe in luxury tax and forgot the Yankees are in the exact same boat with Judge. “Fansided” is just a collection of blogs written by fans. Don’t go confusing it with actual news…
-
If Old Red likes it, we can assume it’s a Yankee blog trashing the Sox…

I think Hosmer is off the table with Miami. I don’t know who is on his NTC, but we know Washington was, and his reason for including them was not wanting to go to a rebuilding organization. It seems pretty likely to me Miami would also be on that list for the same reason. Because like Oakland and Pittsburgh (Both of whom I would bet are also on Hosmer’s NTC.), Miami does seem to be in a constant state of rebuilding…
-
I don’t think Vazquez is fine and washed up, either. I’ve said all along I expect them to re-sign Bogaerts, but really it will come down to what his demands are. It’s easy to see him (or more accurately, his agent,) pricing himself out of the Sox range. Or, more likely, expecting too many years…
-
You can only sign the ones willing to sign…
-
I think all this extension talk on Devers has completely de-emphasized that he does in fact already have a contract for 2023…
-
Aka The Notin Strategy. Use it. It will catch on…
-
The Mariners became the third team to win a postseason game in which they trailed by seven runs. The last team to do it? The 2008 Red Sox…

If you’re trading Mayer for pitching, BTV values roughly equal to 2 years of Shane Bieber. Of course, they also value him equally to former abloom trade target Sean Murphy. I’m guessing abloom values amateur more than Murphy, which is why the Sox have Mayer and not Mutphy. But would you deal Mayer for two years of Bieber?
-
Mayer, Bazardo and Winckowski for Pablo Lopez and Jesus Luzardo. BTV likes it. Sox fans should. Marlins fans won’t, but we shouldn’t let either of them hold this up. Marlins FO? I’m guessing not in favor, at least from a baseball viewpoint…
-
Not going to get a player - at least not one worthwhile - with 4 plus years of control left. Why would any team trade a ore-arb star player for an A ball shortstop?
-
And the repeated resets and occasional tight controls. Remember when Cherington had to trade Marco Scutaro just to afford Cody Ross? Those are not Yankee/Dodger spending habits…
-
The people who believe JH has spending limits (albeit high ones) do have plenty of history to back it up…
-
The Yankees don’t have windows…
-
He also may not be tradable in 2-3 years. If the Sox sign Bogaerts (or Correa or Turner), they should plan on keeping him for the life of the deal. They also need pitching now, and their best prospect plays the same position (aka “is blocked”) and could certainly get a very good pitcher in return…
-
If the Sox extend Bogaerts, should they trade Marcelo Mayer?
