  1. According to public records, Jackie Bradley Jr. and his wife have owned a home in Naples since November 2014. That may not answer your question.
  2. That's a long daily commute.
  3. Clearwater, Port St. Lucie and West Palm Beach are each at least two-and-a-hours from Naples. But they're in the same time zone.
  4. Jackie Bradley Jr., apparently posted last week from Naples, Florida, 35 miles south of Fenway South Park in Fort Myers: https://www.instagram.com/p/CLVKSHos0_z/?igshid=1v3ipfoglcb2c FWIW Bradley's agent, Scott Boras, also represents J.D. Martinez, who three years ago signed with the Red Sox on February 26. Martinez reportedly remains in contact with Bradley: https://www.masslive.com/redsox/2021/02/jackie-bradley-jr-rumors-of-optimistic-about-signing-soon-jd-martinez-says-hes-got-a-couple-offers-and-is-waiting-for-someone-to-take-that-next-step.html
  5. Good point (often overlooked by armchair baseball executives).
  6. It's not too late. J.D. Martinez signed on February 26 three years ago. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/martijd02.shtml#all_transactions_other
  7. Subpar pitching can blow a lead at any point of a game. The emotional impact on fans may be great in the ninth inning but less so for players who are likely to have empathy for the teammate who blows a save. The fan may call the offending reliever a bum but teammates are likely to provide comfort. Or not. Analytics help keep the emotions out of the bullpen strategy.
  8. A ninth-inning lead can be blown with or without a closer.
  9. Was it a favor to Jackie Bradley Jr. to be stuck on a team out of the race with a 12-22 record?
  10. Just as the front office does not set the price.
  11. In exchange for Darren Bragg ... Darren Bragg!!! ... Seattle got 145 wins and a sub-4.00 ERA over 2,093 innings from lefthander Jamie Moyer, a one-time All Star who three times finished in the top six in Cy Young voting. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/moyerja01.shtml#all_transactions_other Win some, lose some.
  12. In 26 appearances last year closer Edwin Diaz posted the lowest ERA of his MLB career: https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/d/diazed04.shtml
  13. We're all hoping for the best.
  14. Perhaps 150 innings is optimistic for Eduardo Rodriguez coming off a bed-ridden season of myocarditis.
  15. Steamer projects that Martin Perez will lead the Red Sox in inning with 161: https://www.fangraphs.com/projections.aspx?pos=all&stats=pit&type=steamer&team=3&lg=all&players=0&sort=9,d Other Perez projections call for fewer than 161 innings: https://www.fangraphs.com/players/martin-perez/6902/stats?position=P https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/p/perezma02.shtml
  16. It's disgraceful. https://www.lookoutlanding.com/2021/2/22/22294815/kevin-mather-trampled-the-seattle-mariners-seeds-of-hope-president-ceo-john-stanton-owner
  17. Pablo Sandoval remains a reasonable comp for Rafael Devers through their age 23 seasons (although at those points Sandoval had four years of team control remaining while Devers has only three). https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/d/deverra01.shtml https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/sandopa01.shtml An extension carries risks and rewards because of the wide range of potential outcomes.
  18. FanGraphs Depth Charts project Red Sox hitters with 20.8 WAR and Blue Jay hitters with 26.5 WAR: https://www.fangraphs.com/depthcharts.aspx?position=ALL&teamid=3#ALL https://www.fangraphs.com/depthcharts.aspx?position=ALL&teamid=14#ALL
  19. https://www.lookoutlanding.com/2021/2/21/22294212/mariners-president-kevin-mather-full-transcript-bellevue-breakfast-rotary-club ... just when I was feeling upbeat about the Mariners and their future. The reaction of 20-year-old Seattle outfielder Julio Rodriguez, baseball's fifth-ranked prospect at MLB Pipeline:
  20. The Red Sox reportedly remain in contact with free agent Jackie Bradley Jr.:
  21. FanGraphs Depth Charts project 2021 WAR of 16.0 from Blue Jays pitchers and 15.0 from Red Sox pitchers: https://www.fangraphs.com/depthcharts.aspx?position=ALL&teamid=14#SP https://www.fangraphs.com/depthcharts.aspx?position=ALL&teamid=3#SP The projections for Red Sox starters are generous given the injury concerns. Or not.
  22. Last year FanGraphs had Ronaldo Hernández No. 15 on the Tampa Bay list: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/top-54-prospects-tampa-bay-rays-2/ ... and this year No. 23: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/top-62-prospects-tampa-bay-rays/
  23. SoxPropects has Ronaldo Hernández at No. 14 and Connor Wong at No. 22: https://soxprospects.com/ MLB Pipeline has Hernandez No. 15 and Wong No. 19: Red Sox Top Prospects | MLB.com WWW.MLB.COM The Official Site of Major League Baseball
  24. Mookie Betts was traded for middle infield prospect Jeter Downs, who today was ranked No. 53 on FanGraphs' Top 100 prospect list, one slot ahead of first base prospect Triston Casas: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2021-top-100-prospects/
