    Trade Casas for what? His stock is so low it could limbo under a rug!

    Alonso wants 7 years, but the list of 31yo first basemen to get 7 year deals is pretty small. 1. End of list. Freddie Freeman did get a 6 year deal at age 32, which is the closest precedent, but Freeman is a future HOF whereas Alonso is not. Given that Alonso struggled to get an acceptable deal last off-season at 1 year younger, I have my doubts about anyone giving him 7 years this year at one year older, and I don’t think the lack of a QO this year (he’s ineligible) is going to make up the difference. Five years? Maybe. If it comes down to 34yo Suárez at 2yrs $40mill or Alonso at 5yrs $125mill, I take Alonso. The problem with the longer deals is usually the last year or two of decline. I think it makes more sense to pay Alonso for ages 31 through 35 than pay Suarez for ages 34 and 35 alone. You save money with Suarez, but only by not getting the younger and presumably more productive years…

    And Reese McGuire, while unexciting, was very not horrible…
  4. notin
    Hendriks is really the only one I can think of. Especially if we limit it to players that came directly from the White Sox and not just ex-White Sox…
  5. notin
    He’s worth $10mill even if he wasn’t. Its an option they do have, but I would agree that it will be surprising if they don’t exercise it…

    The Dodgers could simply not exercise their team option on Muncy for 2026. Although at $10mill, I would think they exercise it…
  7. notin
    Those were the first two I thought of as well…

    Most likely that RHH will be Bregman. Hes definitely the pre-race front runner…
  9. notin
    Like Kenji Johjima?
  10. notin
    I will say though, “the Mad Stork” definitely feels like a GOT nickname…
  11. notin
    More likely he spends on a bigger table that can hold more money…
  12. notin
    And he will make many say “maybe Yoshida really wasn’t so bad…”
  13. notin
    I think of him as our Littlefinger…
  14. notin
    He was fighting above his weight class!! Didn’t Tyene Sand literally die on the bench?
  15. notin
    In keeping with the GOT theme, I am the Talksox poster equivalent of Beric Donderrion. I will die many times but I keep coming back anyway…
  16. notin
    I was thinking Oberyn “The Mandalorian” Martell. More of a high contact guy than a true power hitter. But he can get it done. Thoroughly fearless approach…
  17. notin
    Depth is essential. Keep Crawford even if it means Early spends April in Worcester. There will be enough starts for everyone…

    Hey who was the last player thr Red Sox got from the Lesser Sox that didn’t work out?
  19. notin
    More Game of Thrones references? When do we suggest Sandor Clegane as our new RHH power bat?
  20. notin
    You drank a whole round?
  21. notin
    Exactly how many pitchers are in the Top 5? Greene, Crochet, 2 Dodgers, and I’m assuming the last guy is named Skenes Skubal Sanchez?
  22. notin
    Agreed. He’s fine as a bench player. It’s probably worth remembering that at one point, he wasn’t even good enough to be rostered on arguably the worst team in MLB history…
  23. notin
    Fine! You call Breslow…
  24. notin
    You call Krall. I’ll call Breslow…
  25. notin
    THE Matt McShane? Or just some random Matt McShane you met at a pub?
