The Mariners have a recent history of rehabilitating relievers off the scrap heap, including Paul Sewald, who has four postseason saves this year ... for the Diamondbacks. Gabe Speier, Tayler Saucedo and Trevor Gott are other recent examples. Kaleb Ort may struggle ... or not.

The distant past indeed would have helped the AL East. Going back 17 seasons to include the 2007 Red Sox, the tally would be AL East 6, AL Central 4 and AL West 7. Going back 12 seasons the tally would be AL East 3, AL Central 4 and AL West 5. At six years the tally is AL East 2 and AL West 4 (with sign-stealing clouds looming over two franchises).

Over the past 14 seasons the American League has been represented in the World Series by an AL East team three times, an AL Central team four times and an AL West team seven times. At what point are samples large enough to draw conclusions?
-
This year rhe Red Sox won as many postseason games as the Orioles, Rays and Blue Jays combined.
-
This poster, who turned 68 on Sunday, may never see his favorite team in the World Series.🙁
-
Do four years provide an adequate sample to draw conclusions? Despite a 92-win club that fell two victories shy of the World Series in 2021, over the last four (or 3+) regular seasons only 10 of 30 MLB clubs posted poorer cumulative records than the Red Sox. The Sox face challenges rebounding from their losing record over that span. The Boston Red Sox are rarely dull to the outsider.

Does the MLB Trade Rumors list of projected arbitration salaries for the Red Sox have any non-tender candidates? Red Sox (5) Nick Pivetta (5.166): $6.9MM Alex Verdugo (5.078): $9.2MM Luis Urias (4.098): $4.7MM Reese McGuire (4.027): $1.7MM John Schreiber (3.027): $1.3MM https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/10/projected-arbitration-salaries-for-2024.html

Indeed. Jerry Dipoto usually chooses his words more carefully.
-
Is Boston an attractive destination for top free agents? Will a free agent view the Red Sox as potential contenders?
-
FWIW the Rays and Blue Jays are 0-8 in the postseason over the past two years.
-
That’s a revered role on any baseball forum.
-
Except when the beloved contributor offers stats that place a Red Sox player in a positive light. Objectivity is a heavy cross to bear.😀

9/20 Red Sox vs Rangers in Arlington
harmony replied to vegasbob's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
Picked a bad day to have Brayan Bello in my fantasy lineup. The reality is that on vacation I forgot to update the lineup. -
Understood. But what kind of contract will Mike Clevinger land and should the Red Sox pursue the veteran?
-
What about nearly 33-year-old righthander Mike Clevinger, who this year has posted 3.6 bWAR and 2.5 fWAR in 22 starts?
-
Even with a 92-win club that fell two wins shy of the World Series in 2021, the Red Sox are only two games above .500 in regular-season play since the start of the 2020 campaign. This may be a new era for the Red Sox. Or not.
-
Then the Red Sox would need to set their sights lower in a trade for a starting pitcher. The Sox are in a tough position.
-
In the unlikely event the Brewers make Freddy Peralta available, the competition from others teams may push the trade price beyond the BTV estimates. Or not.😉
-
One team is unlikely to invest that much money (and that many years) in the riskiest segment of the market.
-
That trade might be somewhat surprising against the backdrop that has the Brewers ranked third and the Red Sox 16th in MLB.com’s midseason farm system rankings: MLB Pipeline's 2023 midseason farm system re-ranks WWW.MLB.COM Ranking farm systems -- comparing groups of a couple hundred prospects in 30 different organizations -- is, at best, a mostly subjective exercise, and at worst, all but impossible to do well. Yet the teams that place near the top in MLB Pipeline's biannual rankings almost always parlay their prospects
-
The chances are nearly nil that one team will sign both Blake Snell and Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
-
Baseball Trade Values accepts a trade of Marcelo Mayer and Ceddanne Rafaela for three cheap years (one guaranteed and two team options) of 27-year-old righthander Freddy Peralta. Does that fit the bill?
-
A Milwaukee club on pace to win 90 games and a division title this year is unlikely to punt on 2024 by trading Corbin Burnes and Brandon Woodruff. The Brewers are not a last-place team with dire prospects for next season.
-
Most teams will be looking for starting pitchers this upcoming offseason. The Red Sox will score a coup if they land “two really good SP’er” near the top of this list: https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league?pos=all&stats=pit&lg=all&qual=y&type=8&month=0&ind=0&startdate=&enddate=&season1=2021&season=2023

Jordan Lawlar, a high school shortstop taken two slots after Marcelo Mayer in the 2021 draft, is expected to make his MLB debut Thursday for the Arizona Diamondbacks: https://www.milb.com/news/arizona-diamondbacks-calling-up-jordan-lawlar
