Jackie Bradley Jr. reportedly may be seeking a contract of more than four years: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2021/02/jackie-bradley-jr-reportedly-seeking-lengthy-contract.html

Spiraling revenues from marijuana taxes go to far worthier causes.

FWIW the taxpayers of Portland and Oregon are unlikely to subsidize a stadium for a profitable private enterprise. This Portland resident is fine with that.

I beg to differ: https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/SEA/SEA201807210.shtml

Righthander Chris Archer signs one-year, $6.5 million contract with Tampa Bay: Steamer and ZiPS project Archer with 2021 WAR of 1.7 in 26 starts and 1.6 in 19 starts. The Rays could contend again. Or not.

The last baseball game I attended in person was a college game at Stanford on Saturday, March 7, 2020. Two days earlier Stanford announced that seating would be limited to one-third of the 2,113 capacity at Klein Field at Sunken Diamond. https://gostanford.com/facilities/klein-field-at-sunken-diamond/8 The nearly empty stadium was eerie that day amid coronavirus fears.

The column suggests the Seattle Mariners would like to take back their trade of Ketel Marte to Arizona. After that trade the Diamondbacks got 16.8 bWAR: 14.1 bWAR from Marte, 2.9 bWAR from Taijuan Walker and -0.2 from Zac Curtis. The Mariners got 17.3 bWAR: 10.6 bWAR from Mitch Haniger and 6.7 from Jean Segura (who was later included in a trade for Gold Glove winner J.P. Crawford, who has posted 2.8 bWAR at a fraction of the cost). The M's even got 0.4 bWAR from Walker over five 2020 starts in his return to Seattle as a free agent.

At the end of his age 23 season Pablo Sandoval reportedly weighed 278 pounds but weighed in at 240 pounds the following February: https://www.mercurynews.com/2011/02/18/giants-notebook-pablo-sandoval-weighs-in-at-240-pounds/ Coming off his age 23 season, Rafael Devers weighs 240 pounds, according to Baseball Reference: https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/d/deverra01.shtml

An improved Rafael Devers falls within the range of possible outcomes. So is the career of Pablo Sandoval, who had slightly better numbers than Devers through their age 23 seasons. Each option carries risk.

FWIW In the Over the Monster Pick 5 contest back in October I had the Red Sox landing Alex Cobb: https://www.overthemonster.com/2020/10/21/21526062/mlb-offseason-preview-predictions-trevor-bauer-marcell-ozuna-jackie-bradley-jr-andrew-benintendi

Righthand-hitting outfield prospect Jordyn Adams (and change) might be a more realistic target. Or not.

Most of those "multiple websites" were merely the echo chamber repeating a rumor first shared by Ken Rosenthal: https://theathletic.com/2305777/2021/01/06/rosenthal-francisco-lindor-yu-darvish-blake-snell/

FWIW Baseball Trade Values assigns a surplus value of $21 million to Christian Vazquez and $37.5 million to Brandon Marsh.

Thank you for the correction.

Back in November free agents Kolten Wong and Taijuan Walker were part of one poster's offseason plan for the Seattle Mariners: https://www.lookoutlanding.com/2020/11/15/21566234/harmonys-offseason-plan Targeted free agents Chris Archer, Keone Kela, Jake McGee and Jake Lamb also remain available.

Liam Hendriks got four years: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2021/01/white-sox-to-sign-liam-hendriks.html

Maybe the Red Sox did ... or even offered Jon Lester more. Or not.

Pardon the typo: Garrett Richards turns 33 years old this season.
-
The same can be said of Garrett Richards, who turns 33, and Chris Sale, who turns 32. Not to mention J.D. Martinez, who turns 34.

FanGraphs Depth Charts project 2021 starting pitching WAR of 12.9 for the Blue Jays and 12.6 for the Red Sox (including 2.6 from Chris Sale): https://www.fangraphs.com/depthcharts.aspx?position=ALL&teamid=14#SP https://www.fangraphs.com/depthcharts.aspx?position=ALL&teamid=3#SP

With the shift of Adam Ottavino's 2021 salary, Cot's Baseball Contracts now projects 2021 40-man CB payrolls of $201,961,667 for the Red Sox and $199,071,623 for the Yankees. So the Sox edged closer to the luxury tax threshold while the Yankees retreated. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WWRsQNsGZkWuJZwlY8--xVBXMJGjh230D45KiHTHuvY/edit#gid=1520401900 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hl2xgQQReB8qPSoa2YAaDcBfkw0qYeFQFizVP3m2JZs/edit#gid=1520401900

Cesar Hernandez may have preferred the Cleveland vibe at any price. Or not. And Enrique Hernandez may have needed more money to come to Boston ... despite the Alex Cora connection.

Lefthand-hitting free agent Joc Pederson has played most of his MLB innings in center field.

Marcel Ozuna is the only thing that can save me as a fan
harmony replied to Swiharts Ghost's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Not if a pending free agent prefers to play elsewhere.
