Is that really true to the Bloom Era? There have always been Sox connections to players that aren’t elsewhere, going back to Lou Gorman to Duquette to Epstein to Cherington and even with Dombrowski. It might be a little worse now, but don’t you sort of expect that when the team has no farm and has been in the process of trying to get some control wrapped around a $230mill payroll. I mean, if you have no budget and no farm, Joe do you add players?
-
That’s actually the problem with the Ruld 5 draft. Players lose a year of development. Teams lose a year of control. In most cases, who wins?
-
The Marlins DFAd longtime Notin man-crush Eleiser Hernandez. But I think at this point even I might not go above an MiLB contract for him…
-
If they want to make a pick at all. The Garrett Whitlock picks are a definite rarity…
-
That’s what Ronaldo Hernandez is for!!
-
If you’re going to hold being 26 against Ward, how old is Ort again?
-
And I am openly criticizing Bloom for protecting Ort (especially Ort) and Chang while leaving Ward and Wallace exposed…
-
No spots open. Sox cannot make a Rule 5 selection without an open 40 man roster spot..
-
So Bloom is not as high on Jacob Wallace as I am, or feels he won’t get selected. But here’s the thing - he will…

I’ve seen a few other teams linked to Heaney already. He’s already getting more attention than he’s worth IMO. I did not predict him to Boston in the MLBTR free agent contest. Apparently I predicted Baltimore. For Boston, I predicted Correa, Eovaldi, Rogers and Clevinger. I do doubt they sign all four…
-
The issues with Heaney aren’t so much talent as they are durability…
-
Well if you and I could figure out that’s true best way to use him, why do you think the Sox couldn’t?
-
What if it was something radical like using Heaney as a closer?
-
That was me. Again, I’m the more handsome one…
-
1. Yes the Mariners have not had depth like this since they had Danny Hultzen, James Paxton and Luis Gohara. Hopefully this crew is more successful. 2. Acquiring Houck would free up the Mariners to deal a prospect or two. It’s not a bad thing. 3. It gets them out of Crawford’s contract.
-
To where?
-
The Sox biggest issue in 2022 was injured SP. With Sale and Paxton already on board and Eovaldi in process, adding Heaney only figure to be more of the same problem rather than a solution…
-
I expect Bogaerts to decline (who doesn’t?) and negotiate around the league. I expect Eovaldi to decline but continue to negotiate with the Red Sox and likely land a multiyear deal. I also expect only Joc Pederson, Tyler Anderson and Martin Perez to accept offers…
-
Those high velocity arms need to throw strikes. The Sox have a trio of speed demons on the cusp of MLB in Darwinzon, German and Wallace, but finding the strike zone has been an occasional issue for all of them…
-
It does seem like Heaney is garnering a lot of interest early for some reason…
-
There is that. Of course the Cubs reportedly have $125mill to spend plus his fellow countryman in Suzuki…
-
No. It’s because we don’t play on the West Coast and don’t have any Japanese players to help him assimilate. The only reason he might prefer Boston is if he grew up in a generation that idolized Daisuke. Otherwise, what do we have to offer?
-
Hamilton for Kittredge. Book it…
-
All of that makes him better than Brasier right now…
-
I’m higher on Jacob Wallace than most, but I think he could help the 2023 bullpen at some point. And if I ran a small market club, I’d absolutely take him in the Rule 5 draft if he was left unprotected…
