    FWIW in 34 games this season Cade Marlowe posted 0.9 fWAR and a wRC+ of 112 while in 142 games Alex Verdugo posted 2.0 fWAR and a wRC+ of 98. Of course it’s a small sample for Marlowe who comes with six years of team control.

    If the Red Sox don't want Nick Pivetta at a $6.9 million salary, why would another team want Pivetta at that salary instead of pursuing "top tier starting pitchers"? To address the question: To trim payroll would the Red Sox trade one year of Nick Pivetta at a projected $6.9 million and one year of Alex Verdugo at $9.2 million to the Seattle Mariners for their Round A PPI Draft Pick and 26-year-old outfielder Cade Marlowe? Baseball Trade Values calls it an even trade.

    Like most industries MLB and its teams have become increasingly dependent on analytics to make those type of decisions.

    Righthander Mitch Keller, a 27-year-old with two more years of team control, ranked 23rd among all pitchers in fWAR this season (a decimal point behind Justin Verlander): https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league?pos=all&stats=pit&lg=all&qual=y&type=8&season=2023&season1=2023&ind=0&postseason= Marcelo Mayer's stock has not risen in the past 12 months.

    FWIW after his breakout 6.0 fWAR season in 2021, Bryan Reynolds has posted more pedestrian fWAR of 2.8 and 2.3 the last two years as the Pirate approaches his 29th birthday in January: https://www.fangraphs.com/players/bryan-reynolds/19326/stats?position=OF

    From The Athletic on Thursday: Craig Breslow sounds a lot like Chaim Bloom; Why did Red Sox fire one, hire the other? https://theathletic.com/5025869/2023/11/02/craig-breslow-chaim-bloom-red-sox-differences/?source=freedailyemail&campaign=601983 Subscription required but ...

    The five MLB teams on the West Coast have the best baseball weather. During the baseball season even Seattle averages less than half the precipitation of Boston or New York ... without the humidity.

    Texas lefthander Andrew Heaney reportedly chose the Rangers over the Red Sox last offseason: MLB Trade Rumors speculates that the Red Sox could pursue Heaney again this winter if the southpaw opts out of his Texas contract. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/11/al-notes-red-sox-heaney-twins.html

    The source probably has a name but was unidentified or anonymous. An old newspaper editor was a stickler on that point.

    I remember my junior high science teacher letting me listen to the 1969 World Series in class on the radio with my earplug. The game had been over a few minutes when the teacher unplugged the ear device, unleashing "Sugar, Sugar" by The Archies from a different radio station. BTW that teacher's son is a VP with the Chicago White Sox, where he has worked for 32 years.

    The list omits Bryan Woo, who at $25.1 milliion trails fellow Seattle righthanders George Kirby ($106.9 million), Logan Gilbert ($85.3 million) and Bryce Miller ($26.7 million).

    Thanks for the clarification. The numbers on the BTV chart need updating.

    At next July's MLB draft the Seattle Mariners face the indignity of drafting after the National League champions for the third year in a row. But who better to suffer an indignity?

    On April 8, 2000, Chris Young and the eventual Ivy League champion Princeton Tigers shut out Craig Breslow's last-place Yale Bulldogs: Chris Young (So., Dallas, Texas) tied a career high with 10 strikeouts in a one-hit shutout of Yale. He held the Bulldogs hitless for 5.2 innings. https://goprincetontigers.com/news/2000/4/10/670734?path=general Breslow was a sophomore closer for Yale that season: https://www.thebaseballcube.com/content/player/21437/

    Did Craig Breslow ever pitch against Texas Ranger VP and general manager Chris Young when Breslow was at Yale and Young at Princeton? The former Ivy Leaguers, born 15 months apart, have returned to their geographical roots as MLB executives.

    FWIW Charlie Morton played Little League baseball with Craig Breslow. https://www.nhregister.com/sports/article/Sunday-Gravy-George-Springer-has-always-been-the-12332481.php
