  1. 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.
  2. A Washington Nationals podcaster reacts to the trade: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EznnTRRWJY
  3. Baseball Trade Values likes the Washington Nationals: https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trades?page=1&realTrades=1&q=Nationals Scroll down. 😏
  4. 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
  5. 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.
  6. 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
  7. No, https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/12/red-sox-yankees-orioles-finalists-for-michael-king.html
  8. 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
  9. Perhaps: https://www.forbes.com/mlb-valuations/list/#tab:overall https://www.forbes.com/sites/justinteitelbaum/2025/03/26/baseballs-most-valuable-teams-2025/
  10. What would be the luxury tax consequences? https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/boston-red-sox/tax
  11. That's like calling Rafael Devers the face of mediocre Red Sox teams 2022-24.
  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. Cheer, cheer for old Notre Dame😉
  15. 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
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. FWIW Steamer projects Cole Ragans with a 2026 WAR of 4.2 in 172 innings over 29 starts and Jarren Duran with a 2026 WAR of 2.5 in 605 plate appearances over 133 games: https://www.fangraphs.com/projections?type=steamer&stats=pit&pos=&team=0&players=0&lg=all&z=1764733448&sortcol=&sortdir=desc&pageitems=30&statgroup=dashboard&fantasypreset=dashboard https://www.fangraphs.com/projections?type=steamer&stats=bat&pos=&team=0&players=0&lg=all&z=1764733448&sortcol=&sortdir=desc&pageitems=30&statgroup=dashboard&fantasypreset=dashboard Upcoming projections from other sources may flip those numbers because Ragans and Duran are difficult to project.
  20. Kansas City fans tend to overvalue Cole Ragans (just as Boston fans tend to overvalue Jarren Duran).
  21. A Kansas City blogger proposes a trade of Cole Ragans to Boston for Jarren Duran, Kyson Witherspoon and Jhostynxon Garcia: https://royalskeep.com/news-rumors/kansas-city-royals/what-would-it-take-for-kansas-city-to-trade-away-cole-ragans-r3968/
  22. A Kansas City Royals blogger has set his sights high on any trade of Cole Ragans to the Red Sox: https://www.royalsreview.com/hok-talk/91090/if-the-red-sox-want-cole-ragans#comments 😉 A Red Sox blogger offers his take: https://www.si.com/mlb/red-sox/onsi/boston-red-sox-news/red-sox-should-offer-this-4-player-trade-package-for-royals-cole-ragans-jackson3
  23. FWIW Cole Ragans would give the Red Sox three of the top nine pitchers in Steamer's projected 2026 WAR: https://www.fangraphs.com/projections?type=steamer&stats=pit&pos=&team=0&players=0&lg=all&z=1764560800&sortcol=&sortdir=desc&pageitems=30&statgroup=dashboard&fantasypreset=dashboard
  24. The current 2026 Steamer projections for Red Sox position players: https://www.fangraphs.com/projections?type=steamer&stats=bat&pos=all&team=3&players=0&lg=&z=1764474193&sortcol=&sortdir=desc&pageitems=30&statgroup=dashboard&fantasypreset=dashboard What, if any, changes need to be made this offseason?
