  1. 5Gold made an equally good point with his Clevinger update. To some fans, anything shy of All Star is bargain basement shopping…
  2. If he settles for 4/$84mill, that’s a steal. But I don’t he gets that. I’m thinking somewhere between 4/$96mill and 5/$110mill
  3. And there is a significant portion of the sports media that is dedicated to creating controversy and riling up passionate fans, regardless of whether or not there is any controversy…
  4. Sign Contreras.
  5. One guy no one on this board is really mentioning is Wilson Contreras. I think he’s a great fit. RHH power bat. Can DH on days he doesn’t catch (and it’s not like the Sox have David Ortiz in that role). He’s 30 years old with a 116 OPS+ over the past 3 years. And MLBTR projected him for a 4 year $84mil contract, which seems very light after seeing what Jose Abreu signed for. So let’s say 4-5 years with a $22-24 mill AAV IS 4-5 years of Contreras a wiser investment that 7-10 years of Bogaerts/Correa?
  6. Diekman also landed the Sox their current starting catcher…
  7. With the exception of last year pre-lockout, when was the last time any MLB team made the off-season exciting?
  8. I’ve seen a few people citing how late in the off-season last year a lot of Sox moves were made as it should be proof of a loom’s indecisiveness or something. And not due to a lockout that ran from December 3rd to March 10th…
  9. So far 29 other GMs are just as inactive, like they are every year.
  10. I think McGuire filled the void in his heart for a defense-oriented catcher making low arbitration money…
  11. He was posting DRS at an unholy rate prior to 2022. 42 DRS total in 2019-2021, with 21 of them coming in 2021. Last year he went the other way with -9…
  12. Brandon Belt…
  13. Davis was worth -1.1 bWAR. Chavis was worth -0.1 bWAR. Davis was worse but both teams lost that trade…
  14. How does the Chavis trade look bad? We released Davis, but the Pirates released Chavis just weeks later. To me the Pivetta trade was amazing. The Sox got multiple years of a decent SP for 3 months of two journeyman relievers who have combined to play for over 10 teams since that trade…
  15. Latest updates have it at 3 years $60mill.
  16. You’re assuming a linear drop. Are you sure it’s not a sinusoidal wave?
  17. I like the idea of recent trends to spot decline. But sometimes OPS just don’t tell the whole Story Story. Sure his numbers dropped, but in some cases, for whatever reason, the whole league’s did. And he did have a significant home field change in there. If you look at OPS+ 2019 - 120 2020 - 120 2021 - 102 2022 - 102 It’s less of a steady trend, but it does show a difference…
  18. I’m sorry. What?!?!
  19. But he’s also the only one from outside the AL East. I see the Sox improving at catcher, but Omar Navraez is 1000x more likely than any of the Jays…
  20. Stallings is basically a fatter, right-handed Reese McGuire…
  21. Save one inning, Ottavino was good. Those Yankee fans whose opinion you prefer over data also yell at the TV and boo any player who fails to dominate in the same fashion a Division I college player would in a Little League game…
  22. They had already traded for JBJ. Signing Suzuki likely meant Suzuki in RF, JBJ in CF and Kike at 2b. And no Story…
  23. We could add Whitlock…
