    Oh no one thinks it was a good offer; to me that doesn’t matter as long as it’s not the final offer. If it was a final offer, then it is abundantly clear they do not envision Bogaerts as a significant part of the future of this team. Maybe they feel the same way about Devers. Maybe not. But I do think these players are being evaluated independent of each other…

    I doubt the Sox (or any team) take a Scott Boras press release all that seriously. And certainly not as a reason to break off talks…
  3. notin
    Lester was three front offices ago. Things may not be the same. I don’t find it hard to believe the Sox first offer was lower than Bogarts and Boras expected. But I do find it hard to believe it was lower than the offer to Story…

    I have my doubts about the accuracy of the report, given that X is represented by Captain Mystery Team. Since there is no way the Sox would publicize making a small offer, we already know which camp leaked it. So now it comes down to whether or not you find that camp trustworthy…
  5. notin
    And if the second offers comes through and looks a whole lot better, he’ll perk up. In the meantime, maybe his agent can explain how negotiations work and that he (the agent) will take care of this…

    I have no problems with the Sox offering 4 years $90 mill, as long as it’s not their final offer. But at a minimum, Bogaerts is going to command Marcus Semien money, and he might be looking for (and might even get) something a bit closer to Corey Seager money…

    Beckett was never a free agent. Extensions are a different matter since the player can only negotiate with one team…

    Lackey and Eovaldi are both showing your legacy is not in how you do at the start of the deal but rather in how you finish…

    This. Who was the last free agent pitcher the Sox signed to a long term multi year deal that worked out? Besides Eovaldi, who was a returning free agent and only took a tactically safe 4 year deal…
  10. notin
    This off-season? Probably Edwin Diaz. Reliever free agent deals are typically less risky. For a top tier starter, the trade market is a better way to go..

    So Sale won’t be lonely on the IL?

    Pannone’s brief MLB career is not littered with success. He’s the type of pitcher whose career was jeopardized by the 3-batter minimum rule, because without it he might have been able to patch together a decent LOOGY career. He kind of reminds me of Brian Shouse…
  13. notin
    He’s been around. I’m pretty sure I mentioned him at some point in the long dormant “Fun with Baseball Names” thread…
  14. notin
    And if he can limit his meltdowns to games where the Sox have big leads late, not a big deal…
  15. notin
    Or just non-tendered him. But I liked this deal when it was made and think it will work out just fine in the long and short runs…
  16. notin
    Actually I never mentioned his ERA. Just where he ranked. I do prefer a 3 year timeframe because career numbers can include numbers from 5, 10, or maybe 15 years ago that are just not relevant anymore. Of course, the problem with looking at 3 years now is 2020 and it’s lack of data…
  17. notin
    That stretch does include some of the worst years for Nate…
  18. notin
    Of course if we had not dealt for Bradley, we’d still have Renfroe’s salary ($7.7 milll this year) too…
  19. notin
    Since the 2018 season, ERod ranks 71st in ERA among qualified pitchers. Eovaldi ranks 75th…

    Like back in the early 1900’s. Everything old is new again..
  21. notin
    The solution might eventually be to just play JBJ every day. It’s not like they acquired him for his bat…
  22. notin
    Perhaps he tried, but it’s a bit hard to deal Renfroe for an upgrade over Renfroe without taking on even more money…
  23. notin
    And that decision might involve demoting both Valdez and Crawford. Although a DFA of Austin Davis might be in the mix…
  24. notin
    Suzuki cost roughly half of Story. But Story had an MLB track record. But then it was a Coors Field track record. I’d have preferred Suzuki, partially because it made te Arroyo/Bradley platoon better defensively…
  25. notin
    So far this year the Sox offense has generated 13 runs. 8 of them in the first two innings…
