    Alex Bregman would help the Red Sox but FanGraphs would subtract the projected WAR for the players (games and plate appearances) whom Bregman would replace.

    On a less humorous note, a list of current and former FanGraphs staff members (some of whom left when hired by MLB front offices): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FanGraphs Scroll down.

    Are the other franchises encouraging the Los Angeles Dodgers to spend freely this offseason to provide justification for a salary cap in the next Collective Bargaining Agreement? A salary cap would benefit most, if not all, franchises.

    FWIW with the signing of Anthony Santander, the Blue Jays have moved past the Red Sox into seventh place in the American League in projected 2025 WAR at FanGraphs: https://www.fangraphs.com/depthcharts.aspx?position=ALL&teamid=14

    Last year Jarren Duran and Garrett Crochet experienced breakout seasons with 6.7 fWAR and 4.7 fWAR, respectively. FanGraphs now projects Duran and Crochet with 2025 WAR of 3.1 and 4.8, respectively. https://www.fangraphs.com/players/jarren-duran/24617/stats?position=OF#dashboard https://www.fangraphs.com/players/garrett-crochet/27463/stats?position=P#dashboard It's curious that the projections have Duran regressing toward the mean but Crochet essentially repeating his 2024 production. The age difference of nearly three years could offer one explanation.

    Indeed FanGraphs mislabels that column as "Bat" instead of "position players" which would include defensive value.

    With current rosters, FanGraphs projects the Red Sox second in the American League in pitching WAR, 14th in batting WAR and seventh in overall 2025 WAR: https://www.fangraphs.com/depthcharts.aspx?position=ALL&teamid=3

    Triston Casas was interviewed at Saturday's Fenway Fest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOtNyVFg9BM

    The FanGraphs projections currently assign Red Sox batters a negative 17.8 fielding score, including a negative 11 score for Connor Wong alone: https://www.fangraphs.com/depthcharts.aspx?position=ALL&teamid=3#ALL That might help explain why FanGraphs ranks Red Sox position players 14th in the American League in projected overall 2025 WAR. https://www.fangraphs.com/depthcharts.aspx?position=ALL&teamid=3#ALL As points of reference, FanGraphs assigns 2025 fielding scores of a positive 11.2 for the Yankees, a negative 1.8 for the Orioles, a negative 5.0 for the Astros and a positive 7.1 for the Mariners.

    At what point is this article considered clickbait? Addicted baseball fans (this poster included) keep feeding the clickbait machine.

    The report was that Seattle turned down an offer of Triston Casas and Masataka Yoshida for Luis Castillo after the Red Sox turned down an offer of Castillo for Casas straight up: https://www.masslive.com/redsox/2024/12/red-sox-wanted-to-package-triston-casas-high-paid-veteran-in-trade-for-pitching-report.html The Mariners aren't that stupid.

    We all have the privilege of assigning appropriate weight to an established projection system and to the bald opinion of an anonymous dude on the internet. We'll let the season play out.😃

    Perhaps these 2025 FanGraphs projections properly rate Julio Rodriguez (just ahead of Mookie Betts and 21 slots ahead of Rafael Devers): https://www.fangraphs.com/projections?pos=all&stats=bat&type=fangraphsdc Or not.😉

    Last year Julio Rodriguez may have suffered the age 23 curse of elite Dominican hitters. In his age 23 season, Rodriguez posted a 3.8 fWAR after posting a 5.8 fWAR the previous year. In his age 23 season in 2022, Juan Soto posted a 3.7 fWAR after posting a 6.8 fWAR the previous year. In his age 23 season in 2022, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. posted a 3.3 fWAR after posting a 6.3 fWAR the previous year. Fernando Tatis Jr, missed his age 23 season after posting a 6.8 fWAR the previous year. Tatis saw his fWAR drop to 4.1 in his age 24 season. No need to panic over Julio Rodriguez.

    The Red Sox have addressed many pitching needs but have neglected their needs for position players. With current rosters, FanGraphs projects the Red Sox second in the American League in projected pitching WAR but 14th in projected position player WAR, ahead of only the White Sox: https://www.fangraphs.com/depthcharts.aspx?position=ALL&teamid=14

    The Red Sox posted a wRC+ of 83 after August 15 last year.
