I have no love for Montas. He knows why. I’m thinking mild selling along side buying for 2023…
-
Thinking the Sox need to do some buying. The following SP are all reportedly available and more desirable than Eovaldi Luis Castillo Pablo Lopez Jose Urquidy Zac Plesac Aaron Civale All are controlled for 2023, a year in which the Sox rotation would look to have: Chris Sale James Paxton Josh Winckowski Kutter Crawford ??? One ? as of today, and Paxton is not exactly Mr. Durability. And of course, Sale is only averaging 16IP per season on his new contract. At least one more SP is essential. And locking up Devers and/or Bogaerts will only negatively impact the available cash for a free agent acquisition…

2020 was a 60 game season. A lot of players had inflated or deflated stats. His 2021-2022 ISO is basically the same, so his drop in SLG is based on fewer singles. He’s hitting fewer line drives, but in that lineup he’s being pitched around…
-
I’m thinking $125/5 but I think it will take $150/6. It’s hard to say because Camp Bogaerts has not released any figures…
-
How involved do people think these “plans” are? I thought last off-season, the OF plan was “upgrade the defense.” Was it more than that in anyone’s eyes?
-
That doesn’t mean he can’t Unless you’re using “can’t” to mean “not allowed to” whereas I’m assuming it to mean “not physically able to”…
-
Can I get Eovaldi’s money? Heck I’ll settle for Rich Hill’s…
-
And they haven’t won a title since…
-
I am back to considering Duran a trade chip. He won’t get Soto, but a Duran-Civale deal would make me happier…
-
Cleveland will reportedly listen on Plesac and Civale, both of whom are better options than Eovaldi. But they presumably will also be more difficult to acquire. Per BTV, Civale and Plesac combined have the same surplus value as Jarren Duran. This actually isn’t so surprising as both starters are entering arbitration eligibility and going to get more expensive, whereas Duran will continue to both flyballs rather cheaply for a couple more years. Obviously Cleveland isn’t making this trade, but there may be framework involving Duran and one of these SPs…
-
Jacko only acknowledges two strategies for non-Yankee teams. “All in” where you empty the farm for a grandiose postseason run, and “complete tear down” where you deal away any and every marketable asset in order to build for the long term future. Teams rarely if ever do either one…
-
They also gain fans every year. Keeping or losing Bogaerts isn’t the life or death of the franchise decision a lot of people are making it out to be…
-
No. Keep Bogaerts. Re-open negotiations. He might go for a 5 year $125 mill deal, which is really just a 2 year extension (albeit a pricey one at $65mill). Deal Eovaldi, JD and Hill and/or Wacha. And any reliever not named Houck or Whitlock should be available. Schreiber should be expensive so if someone wants to pay up for him, it’s worth considering. The rest, especially Barnes and Diekman, just take whatever…
-
His UZR is also up.
-
And if he’d looked at Bogaerts’ 3.9 fWAR, it was obvious whose having the better year. But his devil’s advocacy centered around HRs and RBI…
-
LOL Are you pretending the “take top offer no matter what” list is about anything more than replacing frustratingplayets with other frustrating players? Exactly what elite prospects do you think Hill and Strahm will return? If the Sox were to actually rebuild, Schreiber is an actual worthwhile trade piece. Bullpen needs are rampant and with fewer sellers he might be the best available name. That he’s clearly having the best year doesn’t hurt. But if you’re giving up 2023, why keep Schreiber? He is having a career year, better than any since A ball. He’s 29, so not likely part of a rebuild. So other than he’s not frustrating today, why keep him? You have younger players than him (and Refsnyder) like Irdero and Dalbec that you’re ready to throw in the towel on…
-
And the guy the Sox signed who would “never be able to replace Bogaerts” had those numbers by the end of June…
-
Agree 100%. How many people on this board will stop being Red Sox fans if Bogaerts is elsewhere next season? The Sox will lose 0 fans. But many of them will complain even more…
-
Refsnyder is a definite keeper? Seriously he’s the biggest “sell high” player on the team, ahead of even Schreiber…
-
Yes it was. But that era created a lot of bills to pay. The Sox are still paying most of them…
-
I’d rather not sign him and focus on Devers/Bogaerts…
-
So a team leading their division is dumping a guy and somehow he’s the solution?
-
Bell in only signed through November. After that he can be had like any other free agent. Christian Walker makes more long term sense…
-
Who cares if Henry buys an NBA franchise? Nothing seems more shallow than telling Henry he has to spend his money on specific teams. The guys had spent several billion dollars over the years on our entertaining and still people cry out that he’s spending more to entertain someone else?
-
That was his most egregious but Duran has had more than one incident…
