    One of those prospects, righthander Andrew Moore, was actually a post-prospect who had hurled five quality starts the previous season. Indeed Moore did not play in 2020.

    Trivia: When Jarren Duran was playing for Cypress (CA) High School, down the street Dylan Moore was playing for Cypress College. This year Moore posted 1.7 bWAR and 1.4 fWAR in only 38 games playing seven positions with the Seattle Mariners.

    The Mets have signed Mallex Smith (and Jose Peraza and Arodys Vizcaino) to minor league contracts: The Red Sox might not want to rely on Jarren Duran, a 24-year-old who has played only 82 games above High A, posting a .250/.309/.325/.634 line with a wRC+ of only 87 at Double A: https://www.fangraphs.com/players/jarren-duran/sa3006786/stats?position=OF FanGraphs gives Duran a modest future value of 40 on an 80-point scale. SoxProspects questions Duran's defense: https://soxprospects.com/players/duran-jarren.htm On the other hand, a non-contending team might have little to lose by giving Duran a shot in centerfield.

    According to the early ESPN power rankings for 2021, that could be the Red Sox: https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/30151839/mlb-power-rankings-way-too-early-edition-how-dodgers-rays-all-30-teams-stack-2021 Or not.

    Have you taken Python or a similar coding class? My younger daughter, who like you is a college senior, took a Python course as a prerequisite for the required data class in her social science major. Analytics have taken over the world. Former FanGraphs managing editor Dave Cameron, who works now for the San Diego Padres, wrote that anyone who wants to enter baseball operations should take a coding class.

    A few million voters in Tuesday's election were born after the Seattle Mariners last appeared in the postseason. Enjoy.

    Despite his dismal on-field performance, Dee Strange-Gordon earned respect in Seattle: https://www.lookoutlanding.com/2020/10/29/21539016/farewell-dee-gordon-strange-a-great-seattle-mariner-despite-what-the-numbers-say

    The free agent market may be flooded with non-tenders on December 2. More options should be available.

    Perhaps Charlie Morton, who turns 37 this month, would prefer a top 2021 contender. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/30151839/mlb-power-rankings-way-too-early-edition-how-dodgers-rays-all-30-teams-stack-2021 Or not.

    MLB Trade Rumors predicts the Red Sox will land second baseman Kolten Wong, lefthander Jose Quintana and righthander Anthony DeSclafani: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/11/mlb-free-agent-predictions-2021.html

    ZiPS projects 2021 WAR of 3.0 for Charlie Morton, 1.6 for Martin Perez, 1.5 for Rick Porcello and 1.5 for Jon Lester. https://www.fangraphs.com/players/charlie-morton/4676/stats?position=P#zips-3-year-projections

    The other options may be even less appealing. Who could reasonably be in the 2021 Red Sox starting rotation?

    Martin Perez responds on Twitter:
  15. harmony
    The Red Sox are likely to be among the suitors for Martin Perez in free agency. The Sox just didn't like the option price.

    The Red Sox decline the Martin Perez option:

    This poster is partial to Stanford grads such as Sam Fuld. From Wikipedia: "During the baseball off-season, Fuld returns to Stanford to pursue a master's degree in statistics.[14]":) Alex Cora will be a fine pick.

    With only an hour and a half to go until the deadline for extending qualifying offers, the only publicly announced QO has gone to Mets righthander Marcus Stroman. What if that is the only qualifying offer? What would that say about the free agent market?

    The Red Sox' 40-man roster up to 37 after today's moves: https://twitter.com/bradfo/status/1322568128132513793/photo/1 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Elq0sgAXYAESQd1?format=png&name=large

    The latest from the Instagram account of lefthander Eduardo Rodriguez: https://www.instagram.com/p/CG5-DaLFHiz/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

    The free agent market is likely to be flooded with non-tenders on December 2. Perhaps fewer than half of arbitration-eligible players will be tendered contracts. The percentage could be even lower. Players are facing a dismal offseason.
  22. harmony
    In a normal offseason a "nothing much" pitcher who did not miss a start would be worth the net $5.75 million option. This is not a normal offseason.
  23. harmony
    Many arbitration-eligible players may be non-tendered on December 2 because the collapsed market may provide cheaper options. Or not. In light of recent reported option decisions, the Red Sox are unlikely to exercise the team option on lefthander Martin Perez.
  24. harmony
    The Red Sox have been in contact with Alex Cora, according to Alex Speier of the Boston Globe: https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/10/30/sports/red-sox-alex-cora-manager-candidates/

    According to his Twitter account, the countdown apparently is underway on the Red Sox team option on lefthander Martin Perez:
