So did the MLBTR article on Houston needing LHH outfielders inspire some discussion on Verdugo-for-Urquidy trades? IMO, I make that deal immediately with no regrets. And I like Verdugo…
-
To be clear, it didn’t look like Dusty was singling out Contreras Reading between the lines, Baker didn’t want a pending free agent that wanted playing time to enhance his future payday. And Dusty didn’t want to fix something that wasn’t broken. Apparently he felt Vazquez would be more amenable to a backup role He was probably right, too…
-
Dombrowski is being given a chance to improve. Click can only do worse next year and was pre-emotively fired before doing so…
-
Sox go up $25mill. Devers comes down the same. Then slap a signature on it and carve up that Cookie Puss!!
-
Somewhere off in the distance, Ronaldo Hernandez’ ears are burning…
-
I’m not sure if the Sox are considering Correa, but I don’t think they’re considering Bogaerts all that seriously…
-
I think the “under 30 starter” will be Whitlock. I’m ok with that s long as they Sox add a couple quality arms to the bullpen. I’m still on Fulmer. I think Estevez would be a good get too
-
I always thought the fear with being Tampa North had more to do with budgets and baseball. Apparently there are also fears we replicate their stadium. Maybe a name change too. Like maybe we can be the Boston Famous Original Rays. Or is that moniker more fitting for a New York team?
-
I think only Uehara and Napoli had any staying power. Although Dempster had the decency to retire and not be an albatross…
-
Paxton and Sale are both really just partial rotation slots. The Sox need pitchers that can be demoted on the rare occasion either (or both) are actually healthy. Bello is very one. But counting on, say, Mata to be the other is just getting too hopeful. Most likely the Sox grab someone like Kluber and hope the injuries all line up. Really this team needs 8-10 options counting the MiLB guys like Mata, Bello and Crawford…
-
The last exciting and effective one was 2012-13 Victorino, S Drew, Napoli, Dempster and especially Uehara…
-
Tampa has made the playoffs FOUR years in a row. This is a big difference because Boston has never done that. Never…
-
Has he put the trophy wife back in the case yet?
-
Reyes had shoulder surgery in May/June will not be ready to start the 2033 season. His return date is unknown just yet, but he probably gets back on the mound a good 2-3 days before his next injury…
-
Add Senga to the list of free agents Boston has contacted. Unknown sources have confirmed this. For what that odd worth…
-
They used to list MLB Comparables for some prospects, and they had Lars Anderson’s comp as Justin Morneau. They weren’t all that down on him…
-
I actually assumed Renfroe was acquired to platoon with Benintendi…
-
Also, Mayer could be a stud, but so could Romero…
-
I don’t think so, although he was only in the neighborhood of $5mill AAV…
-
If all those arms are healthy, I do think the rotation will be “OK.” But first of all, “OK” isn’t exactly the highest praise. And second, they’re not likely to all be heathy together very often. I’d love to see them add Lopez, although not sure how yet. Senga? He certainly has a track record that impresses, although I really know nothing about him. Eovaldi would be nice, but honestly, he’s closer to fitting in with Sale, Paxton and Kluber. I’m not going to get worked up by Kluber because 1. he hasn’t even been signed yet and 2. he has a recent history of eschewing the Sox for other AL East teams. As for a TOR starter, all the free agents this year are either really old or have significant injury histories. I can see going on the fringe market for free agents, and then exploring the trade market for impact starting pitchers. Lopez is a great candidate. If it happens, I assume it will be along the lines of 1. sign a shortstop (Bogaets? Correa?) long term and then 2. deal Mayer for a TOR starter, hopefully one under 30. And then hopefully extend him…
-
One possibility was that he suspected it wasn’t his last point. Or his having two years of control left over waiting to deal him when he just had one. Or both…
-
Probably nothing more than due diligence…
-
Not sure why Cordero got so many plate appearances but Travis Shaw only got like 12…
-
So … Verdugo for Marcell Ozuna this year?
-
His big issues were before the Sox traded him, like in his last season he posted a .442 OPS and eventually lost time in LF to Yairo Munoz, Michael Chavis and Jose Peraza…
