    Citing the win/loss record and ERA is certainly old school. FanGraphs and MLB Trade Rumors ranked Rick Porcello No. 43 and No. 46 among free agents this offseason: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2021-top-50-free-agents/ https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/11/mlb-free-agent-predictions-2021.html ... ahead of Jake Arrieta, Anthony DeSclafani, Mike Fiers, Jon Lester, Homer Bailey, Brett Anderson, Aníbal Sánchez and Cole Hamels. The San Francisco Giants signed DeSclafani to a one-year contract for $6 million plus incentives.

    On the topic of post-prime, check out these dates of birth: 12/27/88 - Rick Porcello 3/30/89 -- Chris Sale 2/13/90 -- Nathan Eovaldi 8/28/89 -- Matt Andriese 4/4/91 -- Martin Perez

    We now have the luxury of combining a 162-game season and a 60-game season for a 222-game sample. Over the past two seasons Rick Porcello has posted 3.5 fWAR in 44 starts, which prorates in 32 starts to 2.5 fWAR, which this year was valued at about $20 million. Which is not to say Porcello will land a $20 million AAV this offseason.

    In the same division as the Orioles, the Red Sox are probably no worse than a fourth-place team.

    Happy New Year! Wishing you the happiness that engulfs me every day of the year.

    Chaim Bloom was hired to field the best possible Red Sox team. Bloom was not hired to spend, spend, spend.

    And then the power went out for an hour. That's a bad sign.

    And then the Red Sox could spend the saved money in a free agent market that yields poor returns on the dollar. More likely than not, the Sox would be stuck holding another underwater contract.

    Isn't Dustin Pedroia's contract underwater?
  11. harmony
    Would the Red Sox trade Dustin Pedroia for a token return? Internet posters can treat players as faceless assets with assigned numbers. Real-life employers -- in and out of baseball -- have human considerations.

    The Rays won that trade ... likely short term and more certainly long term. Or not.

    Which is not to say the Tampa Bay Rays would trade Kevin Kiermaier for a token return.

    Agree. The latest regarding Kevin Kiermaier's availability: ... or lack thereof.

    According to SoxProspects, Brayan Bello and Jonathan Arauz are ranked No. 22 and No. 25 in an undistinguished Red Sox farm system. Arauz is an unlikely trade target for the Rays who currently have middle infielders Wander Franco, Vidal Brujan and Xavier Edwards ranked No. 1, No. 41 and No. 67 overall at MLB Pipeline: Top 100 Baseball Prospects | MLB.com WWW.MLB.COM The Official Site of Major League Baseball

    Certainly does not work for the defending American League champion Tampa Bay Rays. According to SoxProspects, Brayan Bello and Jonathan Arauz are ranked No. 22 and No. 25 in an undistinguished Red Sox farm system.

    In the words of a wise man: "Sorta makes it harder to deal Vazquez..." Or not.

    Baseball Trade Values assigns 30-year-old Christian Vazquez a surplus value of $21 million and 28-year-old Willson Contreras a surplus value of $28.3 million. https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/players/9649/ https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/players/7916/
  20. harmony
    If Christian Vazquez is traded, who is the starting catcher for the 2021 Red Sox? Kevin Plawecki?
  21. harmony
    Would the Tampa Bay trade for catchers Francisco Mejia and Blake Hunt lessen the Rays' rumored interest in Christian Vazquez?

    The small sample size of three starts disqualifies Tanner Houck. Sorry. BTW this year Yusei Kikuchi finished third among Seattle pitchers as lefties Marco Gonzales, Justus Sheffield and Kikuchi combined for 4.7 fWAR, valued at $37.4 fWAR, in 30 starts.
  23. harmony
    In nine starts this year Seattle lefthander Yusei Kikuchi posted 1.1 fWAR, valued at $9 million. Prorated to the 32 starts Kikuchi made in 2019, that works out to 3.9 fWAR, which in 2019 was valued at $31 million. Needless to mention but Kikuchi would have led all Red Sox pitchers in fWAR this year ... but that's a low hurdle.

    Before the Red Sox signed Hunter Renfroe, a package of one year of Alex Cobb and two years of righthand-hitting outfielder Trey Mancini may have worked. Or not. Neither Cobb nor Mancini is likely to fall within Baltimore's window of contention.
