    MLB Trade Rumors projects Jackie Bradley Jr. with a 2019 salary of $7.9 million: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2018/10/mlb-arbitration-salaries-2019.html

    The Seattle Mariners might be willing to part with two years of Alex Colome or four years of Edwin Diaz, relievers who each have led the American League in saves in the last two seasons. Colome, who topped the league in saves while pitching in the AL East, is projected to earn a 2019 arbitration salary of $7.3 million. Diaz remains near the league minimum salary as a pre-arbitration player. I'm not sure the Red Sox would be interested or whom the Sox could offer in trade.

    I suspect that won't get it done. FWIW, righthander Andrew Moore, whom Seattle dealt to Tampa Bay in the Colome/Span trade, had lost his prospect status after making nine MLB starts in 2017.

    Alex Colome posted an ERA of 2.53 and an ERA+ of 162 in 46.1 innings with the Seattle Mariners. As a point of reference, Craig Kimbrel this season posted an ERA of 2.74 and an ERA+ of 160 in 62.1 innings with the Red Sox.

    From Tuesday's FanGraphs chat with columnist Kiley McDaniel: https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/kiley-mcdaniel-chat-10-16-18/ I question whether Jay Groome andf Michael Chavis would be enough to land two years of Seattle reliever Alex Colome, who led the league in saves only a year ago.

    You are mistaken: https://nypost.com/2018/10/11/70m-for-gregorius-five-questions-yankees-should-mull-early/ https://nypost.com/2018/10/12/didi-gregorius-needs-tommy-john-surgery-in-yankees-downer/ On an unrelated matter, would the Red Sox be interested in four years of Seattle closer Edwin Diaz, as a replacement for Craig Kimbrel, and/or four or five reasonably priced years of Seattle shortstop Jean Segura as a Dustin Pedroia replacement and a hedge against the potential departure of Xander Bogaerts to free agency following the 2019 season? Whom would the Red Sox be willing to trade for either All Star?

    After attending five Spring Training games in three days I ended up seeing only two regular-season MLB games, neither featuring my endearing Seattle Mariners. In my first Cactus League game I was in the second row among Brewers fans down the first-base line at Surprise Stadium. I thought the massive Jesus Aguilar was only a March wonder and that Josh Hader was a quirky but unspectacular reliever. Last month I saw Aguilar (and Manny Pina) blast three-run homers in my first-ever game at Miller Park in Milwaukee. For the rest of October I'm a Milwaukee Brewers fan.

    Shortstops Xander Bogaerts and Didi Gregorius each have one more season before free agency. Just before the announcement of the latter's pending Tommy John surgery, New York Post columnist Joel Sherman wrote that Gregorius could be in line for an extension similar to the five-year, $70 million deal the Seattle Mariners gave shortstop Jean Segura in June 2017: https://nypost.com/2018/10/11/70m-for-gregorius-five-questions-yankees-should-mull-early/ Over the past three seasons Bogaerts has posted 12.8 fWAR in 441 games, Segura 11.8 fWAR in 422 games and Gregorius 11.4 fWAR in 423 games.

    The Red Sox have a fine team that should contend for a title but I question whether a club that has received a combined negative 1.0 fWAR from three positions (C,2B,3B) is the deepest in recent history. https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=c&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=0&type=8&season=2018&month=0&season1=2018&ind=0&team=3,ts&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0 https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=2b&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=0&type=8&season=2018&month=0&season1=2018&ind=0&team=3,ts&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0 https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=3b&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=0&type=8&season=2018&month=0&season1=2018&ind=0&team=3,ts&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0

    And the Astros did not have the luxury of playing 18 games against the Orioles, who inflated the win totals of the other four AL East teams.

    Alex Bregman came out of the New Mexico high school ranks the same year Blake Swihart did.

    As I write, Jason33 has only 17 posts. He may well be a Yankee fan or simply an outside agitator. According to his profile: "Jason33: has not made any friends yet.";) Then again, according to my profile, I apparently have no friends.

    Is that in reference to the two-game series April 16-17, 2019? Boston Red Sox Schedule | Boston Red Sox WWW.MLB.COM The Official Site of Major League Baseball That may be the next time the Red Sox meet the Yankees ... or not.

    A Red Sox division title is a 97.3 percent lock, according to one source: https://www.fangraphs.com/standings/playoff-odds ... and a 99 percent lock, according to another source: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2018-mlb-predictions/

    Rafael Devers, who has a career OPS+ of 97, posted an OPS+ of 112 in 240 plate appearances as a rookie and an OPS+ of 89 in 432 plate appearances in this second season. Will Middlebrooks posted an OPS+ of 121 in 286 plate appearances as a rookie in 2012 and an OPS+ of 87 in 348 plate appearances in his second season for a cumulative OPS+ of 102 at that point. Of course the big difference is that Devers is three years younger than Middlebrooks was at those stages of their MLB careers. Earlier this season I suggested that Devers could be a future All Star or the second coming of Philadelphia third baseman Maikel Franco, who like his fellow Dominican was a Top 20 prospect on a Baseball America preseason list. I suspect Franco, not Middlebrooks, remains the floor for Devers.

    Even with the Red Sox 53 games above .500, the Yankees play in a division in which opposing teams have a cumulative .500 record. The Athletics play in a division in which opposing teams have a cumulative record 28 games above .500. The A's, who are 18-8 against AL East clubs, might have better record than the Yankees playing in the easier division.

    After the computer program was written years ago, the developers could just sit back and watch the computer generate the statistics. I suspect the program is much simpler than those found in many industries outside of sports.

    Eduardo Rodriguez and Carlos Rodon provide interesting comps as 25-year-old lefthanders with three more arbitration seasons after earning $2.4 million and $2.3 million, respectively, this year as Super Twos. This year the 6-foot-2, 220-pound Rodriguez has posted 1.9 fWAR in 19 starts. Entering today's game ZiPS, Steamer and FanGraphs Depth Charts project Rodriguez with rest-of-season WAR of 0.4, 0.3 and 0.3, respectively, in four starts. This year the 6-foot-3, 235-pound Rodon has posted 1.2 fWAR in 14 starts. Entering today's game ZiPS, Steamer and FanGraphs Depth Charts project Rodon with rest-of-season WAR of 0.3, 0.3 and 0.3, respectively, in four starts.

    Over his last 17 games, Jackie Bradley Jr. has posted an impressive .367/.400/.600/1.000 line. In a 17-game stretch in May 2016, Bradley posted a .468/.542/.855/1.397 line: https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/gl.fcgi?id=bradlja02&t=b&year=2016
