    The Over the Monster podcast on a Red Sox offseason plan: https://www.overthemonster.com/2020/10/6/21503877/boston-red-sox-podcast-offseason-preview-chaim-bloom-alex-cora-manager-search

    Seems I touched a nerve. Despite starting the season with MLB's youngest roster, Seattle this year finished with the ninth-best record in a league that sent eight teams to the postseason. It marked the second time in three years that the Mariners finished within two games of a postseason slot. Here's hoping that our favorite teams bring us joy in the upcoming years.

    In the past nine seasons the Red Sox have four AL East championships (and two World Series titles), four last-place finishes and one third-place finish. High spending does not guarantee sustained success.

    Carl Yastrzemski won the Triple Crown in 1967 after entering the final day of the season tied with Harmon Killebrew for league lead in home runs. Yaz homered in the seventh inning and Killebrew in the ninth, leaving Yaz as the first Triple Crown winner since Joe Medwick in 1937 to fail to lead his league outright in batting average, home runs and runs batted in. https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/BOS/BOS196709300.shtml The Red Sox overcame a one-game deficit in the final weekend of the 1967 season by sweeping the Minnesota Twins at Fenway Park. A then-young Twins fan has yet to recover.

    In the late 1960s as an adolescent at a church camp,, I was in awe of a minister who said he got a hit off Bob Gibson as a high schooler in Omaha, Just Friday morning I was telling my daughter about prominent African Americans from Omaha, including Gibson and Gale Sayers, who died September 23.

    Mike Leake made his MLB debut with no minor league experience outside of the Arizona Fall League following the June 2009 draft.

    Good points. I am a fan of Carson Kelly, a local product (to me).

    Would the Arizona Diamondbacks be interested in Christian Vazquez in exchange for three years of righthander Luke Weaver, who has a surplus value of $15.6 million at Baseball Trade Values? https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/players/9711/ https://www.fangraphs.com/players/luke-weaver/16918/stats?position=P The Diamondbacks ranked 17th in catcher fWAR this year with a wRC+ of 66: https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=c&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=0&type=8&season=2020&month=0&season1=2020&ind=0&team=0,ts&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&startdate=2020-01-01&enddate=2020-12-31&sort=16,a

    Mike Leake's last visit to Fenway Park went well against the highly touted eventual World Series champions: https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/BOS/BOS201806230.shtml

    The team that signs Trevor Bauer may be buying high as the righthander ranks only 16th in fWAR among pitchers since the start of the 2019 season despite his stellar 2020 campaign: https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=pit&lg=all&qual=y&type=8&season=2020&month=0&season1=2019&ind=0&team=&rost=&age=&filter=&players=&startdate=&enddate=

    That's why I asked the question: Those are salient points but how does Jackie Bradley Jr. perceive the situation?

    I gave it only brief thought when I moved to Los Angeles from a state with no state income tax and a far lower cost of living.

    Baseball Trade Value revised Kyle Seager's trade value after an email to the site regarding Yusei Kikuchi and Seager. Seager remains way undervalued.

    I regret that I do not have access to most Boston Globe content but I have access to a report posted Sunday: https://www.boston.com/sports/boston-red-sox/2020/09/27/jackie-bradley-jr-red-sox-last-game

    African Americans are not evenly distributed across MLB rosters. The Seattle Mariners opened the season with three African Americans in their starting rotation before Taijuan Walker was traded. Kyle Lewis and Justus Sheffield are Rookie of the Year candidates. This year J.P. Crawford ranked among baseball's top defensive shortstops. The Mariners opened the season with Shed Long at second base, Mallex Smith in right field and Carl Edwards Jr. in the bullpen but ended the season with Phil Ervin in right field. Dee Gordon was Seattle's nominee for the Roberto Clemente Award. On August 31 the Mariners acquired outfielder Taylor Trammell, the only Top 100 prospect dealt at the trade deadline.

    Does it make any difference that this year Jackie Bradley Jr. was presumptively the only African American on a 40-man roster in a city with Boston's reputation? Not sure there's a good way to discuss the sensitive topic of race.

    In a report that appeared Sunday, Jackie Bradley Jr. seemed diplomatically ambivalent about a return to the Red Sox: https://www.boston.com/sports/boston-red-sox/2020/09/27/jackie-bradley-jr-red-sox-last-game

    It's curious that Baseball Trade Values lists Seattle lefthander Yusei Kikuchi with a surplus value of $1.2 million with two years and $30 million left on his contract but lists Seattle third baseman Kyle Seager with a negative value $13.5 million with two years* and $33 million remaining on his contract: https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/teams/478/ Since the start of the 2019 season Kikuchi has posted 1.4 fWAR, valued at $10.8 million, in 41 starts covering 208.2 innings. Over the same period Seager has posted 4.5 fWAR, valued at $35.9 million, in 166 games: https://www.fangraphs.com/players/yusei-kikuchi/20633/stats?position=P https://www.fangraphs.com/players/kyle-seager/9785/stats?position=3B * the 2022 club option of $15 million to $20 million becomes a player option if Seager is traded. Most speculate, perhaps erroneously, that Seager would exercise the player option. https://legacy.baseballprospectus.com/compensation/cots/al-west/seattle-mariners/

    Will the Pittsburgh Pirates be competitive during the remaining two years of team control over Jameson Taillon?
