  1. Taijuan Walker reportedly is headed back to Seattle: https://twitter.com/tai_walker/status/1227662734755393536
  2. Not to mention softlaw's promotion of Will Middlebrooks.
  3. Free agent starters, according to MLB Trade Rumors: Starting Pitchers Cody Anderson (29) Chad Bettis (31) Clay Buchholz (35) Andrew Cashner (33) Marco Estrada (36) Matt Harvey (31) Jeremy Hellickson (33) JC Ramirez (31) Clayton Richard (36) Danny Salazar (30) Aaron Sanchez (27) Jason Vargas (37) Taijuan Walker (27) https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2018/08/2019-20-mlb-free-agents.html
  4. Do you have a different report? https://highheelsonthefield.typepad.com/all_heels_on_deck/2019/02/dodgers-after-dark-the-sexual-assaults-mlb-never-investigated-a-teams-culture-unexamined.html Reports indicate that Alex Verdugo's action and/or inaction was appalling but the linked report lacks the specificity of your allegations.
  5. Steamer projects 2020 WAR of 0.8 in 136 games for Mike Yastrzemski and 2.0 in 147 games for Jackie Bradley Jr. (who is four months older than Yastrzemski).
  6. Jackie Bradley Jr. for San Francisco righthander Jeff Samardzija: https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/samarje01.shtml Or not.
  7. The Red Sox reportedly are interested in free agent center fielder Kevin Pillar: The Sox reportedly could cut Jackie Bradley Jr. within the first 16 days of Spring Training and owe him only one month's pay of less than $2 million.
  8. Guarantees work both ways. Should the entire system -- the draft, the team control, the salary structure before free agency -- be abolished to grant baseball players the freedoms most individuals enjoy in the employment marketplace?
  9. I've shared this before, but nearly four years ago I went out to the University of Portland to see Saint Mary's College of California ace Corbin Burnes, who pitched a gem: https://portlandpilots.com/sports/baseball/stats/2016/saint-marys-game-1-/boxscore/8024 I don't even remember Gael outfielder Anthony Gonsolin going 3-for-4 with a homer and three RBI.
  10. Why should the Dodgers throw in a prospect (unless they're getting back a prospect such as Brusdar Graterol)? Going back to the original tentative deal, what if the Red Sox were OK with Graterol's medicals but the Twins had problems with Kenta Maeda's medicals? Would the Twins be justified in asking the Red Sox to add a prospect to the deal?
  11. And the Dodgers could ask the Red Sox to pay more of David Price's salary. The Dodgers apparently did not veto the tentative deal.
  12. Perhaps not as badly as the Red Sox want to get under the luxury tax threshold (and out from under some of the $96 million owed David Price).
  13. The perception may be as important as the truth. Or not.
  14. In the unlikely event that is true, potential trade partners may be reluctant to deal with the Red Sox in the future.
  15. Brusdar Graterol may be a sad casualty:
  16. Does that mean pull the deal and incur the penalties with the salaries of David Price and Mookie Betts on the payroll? What if other offers are not as good? The reported tentative deal was likely the product of negotiations that started in November.
  17. I may be a horrible dresser but I've never owned pocket protector. I generally work with words, not numbers.
  18. In statistical terms, positive regression distinguishes regression from the generic nonstatistical regression.
  19. Talking heads focus on the big names that attract viewers.
  20. The Dodgers were already getting the short end* by trading five years of Alex Verdugo plus four years of Kenta Maeda on a team-friendly contract. * according to Baseball Trade Values: https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/teams/516/
  21. +1 Chaim Bloom worked all offseason to come up with a solution and in the end took the best offer.
  22. Tony Gonsolin is healthy and has defied the rankings. Nearly four years ago I went out to the University of Portland to see Saint Mary's of California ace Corbin Burnes, who pitched a gem: https://portlandpilots.com/sports/baseball/stats/2016/saint-marys-game-1-/boxscore/8024 I don't even remember Gael outfielder Anthony Gonsolin going 3-for-4 with a homer and three RBI.
  23. With their deep farm system the Dodgers are better positioned to take a high-risk, high-reward prospect such as Brusdar Graterol while the Red Sox, with their thin farm system, might prefer a surer bet. Or not.
