I tend to agree. They keep talking about him being a priority, but the action is limited (at least publicly). And the thing is, if they came out and said “we don’t think Bogaerts is going to last at the position for the duration of contract he wants”, I would totally 100% agree. Of course, the complete silence from the Bogaerts’ camp makes me think I might be looking too deep into this. I mean, it’s not even Thanksgiving yet…

The only thing we know about a Bellinger’s price is no one will pay him $18mill (or they would have acquired him from the Dodgers and offered him arbitration). He does carry the name with the hardware, and at his age some team will probably chase it. Especially given his foray chart last year into the shift…
-
How does Bellinger’s defense give him a higher floor than a guy who had over ten times as many Defensive Runs Saved in the past 3 years? Gallo by nearly every metric is the second best defensive right fielder in MLB, behind only a guy who’s tied up for the next decade or so by the Dodgers. I don’t recommend going long term with either guy, and both figure to bounce back somewhat with the shift eliminated. But Gallo is the far superior defender here…
-
Now that you mention it, Carlos Estevez is the birth name of Charlie Sheen, who used to close for the Cleveland Guardians..
-
I could see both of those choices. Although it’s hard for me to get excited about Senga just yet…
-
In the last 3 seasons, Bellinger has an OPS+ of 74 and 3 DRS. In the same timeframe, Gallo has an OPS+ of 101 and 32 DRS. At $1 less, Gallo is a steal among steals. At $5-7mill more, he’s still the right choice…
-
So… you pass on Bogaerts?
-
One guy I totally missed as a free agent is Carlos Estevez. He should be near the top off of the priority list…
-
About as surprising as darkness at night. Will he be a No Shift Beneficiary? Maybe. Some of his defensive metrics are actually quite stellar, albeit in limited action sometimes…
-
Brian Anderson, too. He’s been hurt the last two season, but can play a decent RF and has good righty doubles power. Of course he has to get healthy first…
-
He’s always hurt. Always…
-
Well, we do get a whole new addition to the free agents list. And occasionally some of them are interesting…
-
I know. Moment of silence as Hernandez gets to see MLB from the perspective of a whole new injured list…
-
I’m not so sure about that. I think scouts drink more…
-
They could take him in the Rule 5 draft but then Gonzalez has to spend his first year above A ball in MLB. Trading for him allows them to keep him in the minors
-
Fair point. But the decision makers are at the top…
-
His surplus value may drop with a new pending arbitration salary Cleveland is less willing/able to pay…
-
Well hopefully they can put together a reasonable package to acquire him. Or Houser. Or both and leave Whitlock and Houck in the bullpen….
-
And why bother? The fans always side with the player. As we re-re-re-re-re-discuss the Mookie situation, a negotiation in which the Sox reportedly offered $200million up to $300milll, and Mookie balked reportedly sticking to $400mill, the problem is the Six didn’t counteroffer. But with Bogaerts and Lester, the Sox offered lowball contracts, neither Lester nor Bogaerts countered, and fans blamed the Sox again. I tell you, there may be no easier job in the world than sports agent. You clearly don’t need to negotiate anything…
-
No. Baseball is all about cherry-picking, because teams play 162 games and everyone wins between 40% and 60% of them. (And those rarities that do fall outside that range don’t fall outside it by much.) You can literally find bad stretches for any team. It just depends how much you emphasize them to support whatever point you’re trying to make. You can’t always do that to football teams…
-
That was a different Sox office.
-
That 29-30 stretch started off with a 2-10 stretch. After that they went 27-20 in their last 47 games. I suppose it depends when you like to start. July was the only month in which they were under .500…
-
So… Three Sox trade targets I expect to hear them linked to. Adrian Houser Cal Quantrill Brad Keller Also I suspect signing Ryan Yarborough will happen at some point…
-
The Mariners might have a whole new roster by then…
-
It had more members of the 2020 squad…
