I know Bloom values DRS with catchers. Near-acquisition Jacob Stallings and mid year acquisition Reese McGuire excelled at that metric. As does Gallo, where it makes him the second best right fielder in MLB, behind Betts…
-
Agreed. Tell SP we’ve reached a decision..
-
Well they’re wrong. also Wilyer Abreu might debut if needed…
-
Not testing the market was quite possibly related to COVID. The Dodgers offered them same deal as the Sox, but two years longer. So either COVID made Betts re-prioritize or he just wanted out of Boston. I don’t think the Sox were going to be able to keep him either way. But I do wish DD had had the foresight to extend Devers and just ignored Sale…
-
I put both of them on the 2023 MLB Debut List, along with Mata and Walter…
-
My prospect sleeper next year is Jacob Wallace. I think he can crack the bullpen at some point next season…
-
They wasn’t possible unless the Sox found another way under the cap. The big problem was after he failed to extend Betts, Dombrowski did extend Bogaerts and Sale, using up that portion of the money. Now if DD has just ignored Sale, maybe things would be different. Although there were also rumors Betts was adamant about testing the market…
-
The funny thing is, DD may have become that guy. In Boston, he was all about big contracts and trading for big names. He brought us Price, Sale,Kimbrel, Martinez and gave every one of them nine figures with an AAV over $20mill. He traded away a slew of prospects, including 4 in the BA top 100. In Philly, he dialed down to the 8-figure 4 to 5 year deals. He kept his upper minors prospects. And for some reason, he ignored the bullpen altogether…
-
A 6 year $24mill extension hardly qualifies as a risk. If White continues to flop, how exactly is he impacting payroll? One less middle reliever? Maybe a homegrown backup catcher?
-
I have a very strong feeling I know who number 4 is going to be. But you’re not going to like it. (There’sa reason I’ve mentioned him on previous posts and they have n been met with much distaste. But I think a lot of people might need to start considering welcoming Joey Gallo to Boston. Possibly with an Adam Duvall platoon partner.)
-
That’s because the Sox keep playing these games of building up to tax limits with free agents and then watching it all collapse so they can tear it down and do it all over. I think Henry would prefer his team be like Houston. Star wants too much money? Ok, bring in the next star…
-
Well I helped you provide this link for all. I suppose it depends on the iPad. But my outdated one seems to C&P links just fine. Selecting text to copy is a specific skill that requires the same dexterity level as open heart surgery, however…

https://www.masslive.com/redsox/2022/10/dave-dombrowski-on-red-sox-firing-i-dont-think-i-was-treated-right-report.html I’m on a cell phone and I copied it…
-
True. Although bear in mind, Tatis is 23 years old and has 12 years left on that deal. Are we always labeling it a bust? Is that even an option being considered already?
-
That’s absolutely an option. Smarter teams are locking up younger players when they’re in the first three years, before arbitration money kicks in…
-
You can make that offer (well, not you) but I’d be surprised if he goes for it. Years are important to a player, too…
-
Is Cortes really “ace level”? He’s 28 years old and he’s topped 93 IP in a season once. Calling him an ace already is like calling Schreiber a reliever comparable to Eckersley…
-
I’m not holding my breath…
-
The source right now is every article on the subject. The media feels it’s a no-brainer. Not sure if any of them have spoken with Paxton or they all just making assumptions…
-
Money and opportunity. The man only has so many games left, and probably prefers he not spend too many of them on the bench. As for which is more important, only Paxton himself really knows. (Although the MLBPA does have an opinion on which one is more important.)
-
So you think he’d prefer a team that already has 5 pitchers in the rotation? I would be willing to bet Paxton has prioritized pitching and getting the ball every fifth day over having a shot at a title. Boston might not be where he ends up, but they certainly are in a position to give him more opportunities n than most other teams…
-
I think if they do he can finally get that strikeout number above those nasty total bases…
-
I didn’t expect you to know whether or not it was the case. The bottom line is it’s another consideration a lot of us never really thought of (or at least vocalized on this forum). We’re all probably right less often than we realize. So being aware of other alternatives becomes a necessity…
-
I think they will keep going over until they think the farm is ready. They shouldn’t hold off building a good team while waiting on the farm. Don’t let the farm influence being competitive. That makes no sense. But it’s probably ok to let it influence payroll…
-
That means in the last 3 postseason, Judge has the same number of strikeouts as total bases…
