You do need 10 starters to start the year. Not all on the 40 man roster. But 10. That’s counting MiLB depth, emergency, etc. Teams will use more. But they need to know their first 10. So if Sale, Paxton, Whitlock, Bello, Pivetta are the top 5 (for now) and Winckowski and Crawford are still around, that leaves 3 spots left. Mata, already on the 40, likely has one. Two openings. If everyone is healthy (not likely), only one would be on the 40 man roster…

Arizona is loaded with outfielders. The problem is - what do we have that they want?
-
I do wonder how much SP they sign. With Paxton, Sale, Pivetta, Whitlock, and Bello, I certainly see the need to add more starters in case someone gets hurt, but then what happens if everyone is healthy?
-
If he isn’t going to go big with any players in this draft - and that might not be an good idea - maybe he can sign a slew of relievers and deal Houck and Schreiber for SP or OF or C or whatever…
-
Best available RPs. It was not a long list…
-
deGrom to Texas 5 years $185mill
-
Martin was on my list at one point, but probably the bottom of the list…
-
Not Rafael Montero…
-
It might not be a bad idea for the Sox, but it will absolutely be annoying to the fans…

Why would Duran behind any of them? Kelenic is the young guy with potential, but it hasn’t translated to anything on the field yet. He hit worse across the board in 2022 from 2021. Trammell is a league average hitter (finally) whose played for far too many organizations for a 25yo. Marlowe has done pretty much nothing above AA and will be playing his age 26 season next year. Duran is the oldest of the bunch, but also improved in every offensive category from 2021 to 2022. He might be the front runner in this field. It’s not exactly Judge, Soto and Harper out there…

Most likely Rule 5. A DFA to accommodate a Rule 5 player needs to be done prior to the draft. A DFA to accommodate a free agent or trade acquisition can be done afterwards…

Or a World Series appearance
-
If so, his mind was made up already…

I just remember before WAR became the star du jour, we used WARP and VORP. And at one point, very briefly, Win Shares…
-
Not to mention fWAR is based on FIP, which is based on K, BB and HRs - aka the three outcomes a pitcher can control. Really they’re the 3 a defense can’t stop. Of course if you play at Fenway, a double that hits the Monster 35 feet up gets ignored by FIP despite the defense really having no possible chance…
-
Ask Hugh. His prediction. He sets the guidelines…
-
After he turned down a 10 year $300mill offer and had only one year of control left. Think they should have held him for 2020 and battled it out for 4th in the AL East (without Sale) and then let him go for a draft pick? (Also all those awards were more than 1 year in the rear view mirror by then.)
-
So… by 9:04 PM CST on December 9th…
-
Only if you assume those stories come out of the Boston FO, whom I believe has some restrictions on what they can say about offers per the CBA. (Someone mentioned something about that on this forum.) Agents can say anything to anyone…
-
Just find an Eflin-type from Massachusetts. Paging Corey Kluber…

Sure let’s do this dance again. Notin: The Red Sox should absolutely be interested in Flexen. His surplus value on BTV is $0.3million, and presumably he will be costlier than that. But the Sox should and will pay for the price. Also the Sox should be all over Winker at his $1.8mill surplus value. Harmony: Actually the Red Sox don’t have anything the Mariners want. Annnnd scene!
-
The Sox also have a history of winning titles in those non-tank years, right?
-
That does depend on other moves, doesn’t it?
-
That’s a solid answer. The absolutely reasons to want long time players around forever. Fans of the Tigers had very little to root for this year, but you know they were there to see Miggy get hit number 3,000. It’s a tough call for me. I want a winner and enjoy watching the team do well, but I’ve watched some bad teams with players I always loved like Rice and Boggs. I wanted the Sox to keep Mookie, and was calling for his extension since David Price signed. I hate watching the Sox spend on all these players from other teams and obligate themselves to them for 6, 7, or 8 years (except Manny, who just knew how to win fans over). But on the other hand, anyone who grew up watching players like Jackie Jensen or Frank Malzone saw good players every year for a slew of awful teams. Building a winner is certainly harder than just keeping players. I think at some point, I’d like to have a winner as opposed to the same stars every year. But get a deal done with Devers, s that could be a path to both…

The Nats chose to tank. Do you think the Sox will let Bogaerts walk and go into tank mode? There is an advantage to letting stats walk as well s a disadvantage…
