    FWIW for as long as they’re living, Brayan Bello will be 35 days older than Garrett Crochet.

    Sonny Gray might not be the ideal choice to start Game 2 of a postseason series but the veteren right-hander should help a team secure a playoff berth. Steamer projects Gray ninth among all pitchers in 2026 WAR, ahead of many pitchers who might be a better choice as a Game 2 starter: https://www.fangraphs.com/projections?type=steamer&stats=pit&pos=&team=0&players=0&lg=all&z=1764301458&sortcol=&sortdir=desc&pageitems=30&statgroup=dashboard&fantasypreset=dashboard Gray's regular-season bulk has value.

    As an aside, will Alex Bregman be another one-and-done at third base for the Red Sox? In his age 31 season, Bregman posted 3.5 bWAR/3.5 fWAR in 114 games with the 2025 Red Sox. In his age 31 season, Adrian Beltre posted 7.8 bWAR/6.4 fWAR in 154 games with the 2010 Red Sox. Under his complicated contract, Bregman earned about $40 million this year while Beltre had a $9 million salary in 2010. After the 2010 season, Beltre signed a five-year, $80 million contract with the Texas Rangers.

    Steamer projects Sonny Gray 10th among all pitchers in 2026 WAR, ahead of Dylan Cease, Framber Valdez, Max Fried, Joe Ryan and Freddy Peralta, among others: https://www.fangraphs.com/projections?type=steamer&stats=pit&pos=&team=0&players=0&lg=all&z=1764128644&sortcol=&sortdir=desc&pageitems=30&statgroup=dashboard&fantasypreset=dashboard

    FWIW Sonny Gray is a year younger today than Curt Schilling was on November 28, 2003, when the Red Sox acquired Schilling in trade with the Arizona Diamondbacks. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/schilcu01.shtml#all_transactions_other Gray is also seven inches shorter than Schilling. Schilling had a good first season in Boston, leading the Red Sox to their first World Series title since 1918. https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/BOS/2004.shtml

    Despite being a cumulative stat, WAR does not adequately appreciate bulk. Over the past three years Sonny Gray has averaged 177 innings per season with an ERA of 3.63 and an ERA+ of 116. Only 10 pitchers have thrown more innings over that period. Those bulk pitchers provide value by saving a bullpen that overwise would be overtaxed by less durable starters.

    The 2026 Red Sox got better today.

    A Locked On Cubs podcaster proposed that the Cubs sign Rob Refsnyder to a one-year, $5 million contract: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUgAU6WUCxk&t=1137s ... at 13:40.

    FWIW Baseball Trade Values currently assigns Ceddanne Rafaela a surplus value of $31 million and Nick Lodolo a surplus value of $30.8 million.

    In a wide-ranging offseason plan, the Locked On Mariners podcasters proposed a trade of minor league outfielder Ricardo Cova to the Red Sox for infielder David Hamilton: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcK7lWfD7G0 ... at 44:50. https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=cova--000ric

    Seattle has good homegrown starters in Logan Gilbert, George Kirby, Bryan Woo and Bryce Miller but probably regrets trading away Freddy Peralta and Pablo Lopez.
  14. harmony
    Logan Gilbert, George Kirby, Bryce Miller and Bryan Woo are projected to earn a combined $18.6 milion in 2026 when Luis Castillo is set to earn $24.15 million. Emerson Hancock and Logan Evans provide depth while Kade Anderson and Jurrangelo Cijntje wait in the wings.

    Seattle right-hander Logan Gilbert was a common target in proposed Jarren Duran trades late last year: https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trades?page=1&q=jarren+duran&posted=2024

    After his trade to Seattle, Josh Naylor was spectacularly fun to watch on the Mariners' march to the AL West title and the postseason run that fell one game short of the World Series. But it was a small sample. BTW Ty France won a Gold Glove this year.😉
  17. harmony
    This Seattle fan isn't thrilled with the Josh Naylor signing but quickly settled into the acceptance stage. In Jerry Dipoto's 10 years in Seattle, the Mariners had never guaranteed more than $24 million to a free agent hitter.

    According to Spotrac, this year the Red Sox ranked 10th in payroll: https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/payroll/_/year/2025 The Red Sox ranked 18th in 2024: https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/payroll/_/year/2024 ,,, and have not ranked in the Top 4 since 2019.

    At one point Baseball Trade Values assigned Bobby Witt Jr. a surplus value of $200.7 million: https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/player-value-timelines/bobby-witt-jr/5930

    FanGraphs makes a reasonable projection of 39 home runs for Cal Raleigh in 2026. FanGraphs projects Dominic Canzone and Luke Raley with 21 and 20 home runs in 2026. I'd take the under on one of those projections but I just don't know which one.😉 Steamer has Canzone and Raley with 17 and 16 home runs in 2026: https://www.fangraphs.com/projections?type=steamer&stats=bat&pos=all&team=11&players=0&lg=all&z=1763178096&sortcol=4&sortdir=desc&pageitems=30&statgroup=dashboard&fantasypreset=dashboard

    Those who understand probability tend to exploit those who don’t.

    Projections tend to regress toward the mean not to “underproject” across the board.

    So more than Marcelo Mayer and Roman Anthony combined (in 513 fewer plate appearances)?☹️
  25. harmony
    FWIW FanGraphs projects Marcelo Mayer with 15 home runs next year in 532 plate appearances: https://www.fangraphs.com/players/marcelo-mayer/29668/stats?position=3B ... and Roman Anthony with 18 home runs in 623 plate appearances: https://www.fangraphs.com/players/roman-anthony/31812/stats?position=OF
