  1. Is Alex Bregman a "done deal" for the Arizona Diamondbacks? https://x.com/AZSports/status/2004602775838359694 https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/alex-bergman-done-deal-arizona-232246453.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQFxnF0sj9c Probably not.
  2. Tjhose stats provide a significant difference in production. And Ryan O'Hearn can play in the field (and is 11 days younger).
  3. The Seattle Mariners were an absolute mess 10 years ago but have posted 90, 90, 88, 85 and 90 wins over the past five seasons (88.6 average) while the Red Sox posted 25 fewer victories with 92, 78, 78, 81 and 89 wins (83.6 average). Last season the Red Sox closed the significant gap of the previous three seasons. The Red Sox and Mariners have reasons to be optimistic about 2026. In last week's preliminary ZiPS projections, columnist Dan Szymborski speculated: "There's a high probability the Mariners enter 2026 with the most projected wins in the American League, at least according to ZiPS." https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2026-zips-projections-seattle-mariners/ No need to address the payroll differences.😉 Today Szymborski concluded: "At least according to ZiPS, the Red Sox have a roster that ought to have them competing with the best in the AL." https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2026-zips-projections-boston-red-sox/
  4. Have the Red Sox adopted the Seattle Mariner model of the past decade?😉
  5. Too rich for the Seattle Mariners IMHO.
  6. Rob Refsnyder is going to Seattle on a one-year, $6.25 million contract with another $250,000 in incentives: https://x.com/ChrisCotillo/status/2003217858822832466
  7. The Red Sox and the Cardinals have been active on the trade market. Is Brendan Donovan next?
  8. St. Louis Cardinal podcasters were live when the news of the Willson Contreras trade came down: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzwozNNaogE ... at 33:00.
  9. A Washington Nationals podcaster reacts to the trade: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EznnTRRWJY
  10. Baseball Trade Values likes the Washington Nationals: https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trades?page=1&realTrades=1&q=Nationals Scroll down. 😏
  11. FWIW Baseball Trade Values gave Luis Perales a surplus value of $17.3 million and Jake Bennett a surplus value of $6 million: https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trades/205682
  12. At MLB.com, Luis Perales was the seventh-ranked prospect in a well-regarded Boston farm system while Jake Bennett was the 11th-ranked prospect in a lightly-regarded Washington farm system. SoxProspects had Perales ranked fourth in the Red Sox system.
  13. The Red Sox trade Luis Perales to the Washington Nationals for lefthander Jake Bennett in a swap of pitching prospects: https://x.com/JeffPassan/status/2000716983034106004?s=20 https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/12/red-sox-nationals-to-swap-luis-perales-jake-bennett.html#comments
  14. No, https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/12/red-sox-yankees-orioles-finalists-for-michael-king.html
  15. Does Michael King move the needle? https://x.com/ChrisCotillo/status/2000253715501158632 https://www.bostonglobe.com/2025/12/14/sports/red-sox-michael-king-free-agent/?s_campaign=bostonglobesports%3Asocialflow%3Atwitter&utm_social_post_id=622793588&utm_social_handle_id=19780938
  16. Perhaps: https://www.forbes.com/mlb-valuations/list/#tab:overall https://www.forbes.com/sites/justinteitelbaum/2025/03/26/baseballs-most-valuable-teams-2025/
  17. What would be the luxury tax consequences? https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/boston-red-sox/tax
  18. That's like calling Rafael Devers the face of mediocre Red Sox teams 2022-24.
  19. The Red Sox reportedly are trading for former Giants reliever Ryan Watson, whom the Athletics selected with the No. 8 pick in the Rule 5 draft: https://x.com/ChrisCotillo/status/1998835447548576039?s=20
  20. FanGraphs projects Marcelo Mayer with 1.8 WAR, a wRC+ of 96 and an OBP of .309 in 125 games next year after the former No. 4 overall draft picked posted 0.4 fWAR, a wRC+ of 80 and an OBP of .272 in 44 games this year. However, Mayer homered in this poster's presence in June: https://www.mlb.com/gameday/red-sox-vs-mariners/2025/06/18/777453/final/box
  21. Cheer, cheer for old Notre Dame😉
  22. MLB.com beat reporter Ian Browne asks whether the Red Sox should trade Jarren Duran: https://www.mlb.com/news/jarren-duran-possible-trade-candidate-red-sox?p=0&partnerId=it-20251205-15969891-mlb-1-A&utm_id=it-20251205-15969891-mlb-1-A&lctg=7948633
  23. In the section on potential starting pitcher additions: "the Mariners, who have seemingly soured on Victor Robles in right field." Seattle is unlikely to trade from its starting rotation unless a trade partner is willing to assume Luis Castillo's entire contract. The Mariners already return three right fielders who in the past two years have posted seasons of 3.2 bWAR in 137 games (Luke Raley 2024), 3.1 bWAR in 77 games (Victor Robles 2024) and 1.6 bWAR in 82 games (Dominic Canzone 2025). With All Stars Julio Rodriguez and Randy Arozarena, the outfield is not among Seattle's most pressing needs this offseason.
  24. Not necessarily related, but over the past four seasons Seattle's Julio Rodriguez and Cal Raleigh have combined for 44.2 fWAR, an average of 5.5 fWAR per season per player: https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=y&type=8&month=0&ind=0&team=11&startdate=&enddate=&season1=2022&season=2025 The Mariners have signed long-term extensions with Rodriguez, who turns 25 this month, and Raleigh, who turned 29 last month. One might contend that the Seattle Mariners are top-heavy in position players.
  25. Jarred Kelenic's greatest contribution to the Seattle Mariners was being attached to the underwater contracts of Marco Gonzales and Evan White in a trade to Atlanta. The Braves have since dropped Kelenic while the Mariners still tenuously roster pitchers Jackson Kowar and Cole Phillips, the return in the Kelenic trade.
