  1. A Red Sox blogger asks whether the Sox should give Jackie Bradley Jr. a qualifying offer: https://bosoxinjection.com/2020/10/06/red-sox-jackie-bradley-jr-receive-qualifying-offer/ Bradley likely would not fare well in the free agent market if he declined a qualifying offer. The compensatory draft pick might kill his market value.
  2. Can the Braves give Marcell Ozuna a qualifyng offer after Ozuna turned down the Cardinals' qualifying offer a year ago?
  3. If Marcus Stroman receives a qualifying offer, will the 29-year-old righthander land a bigger contract than 28-year-old righthander Taijuan Walker, who can't receive a qualifying offer because of his midseason trade?
  4. And the Red Sox, who finished 12 games below .500, would have been out by August 15 in a normal year. Again, here's hoping that our favorite teams bring us happiness in the upcoming years.
  5. Makes it all the more interesting.
  6. The Over the Monster podcast on a Red Sox offseason plan: https://www.overthemonster.com/2020/10/6/21503877/boston-red-sox-podcast-offseason-preview-chaim-bloom-alex-cora-manager-search
  7. Seems I touched a nerve. Despite starting the season with MLB's youngest roster, Seattle this year finished with the ninth-best record in a league that sent eight teams to the postseason. It marked the second time in three years that the Mariners finished within two games of a postseason slot. Here's hoping that our favorite teams bring us joy in the upcoming years.
  8. In the past nine seasons the Red Sox have four AL East championships (and two World Series titles), four last-place finishes and one third-place finish. High spending does not guarantee sustained success.
  9. From September 17: ... and an earlier position: https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/columnist/bob-nightengale/2019/02/14/trevor-bauer-Guardians-contracts-free-agent/2874691002/
  10. Carl Yastrzemski won the Triple Crown in 1967 after entering the final day of the season tied with Harmon Killebrew for league lead in home runs. Yaz homered in the seventh inning and Killebrew in the ninth, leaving Yaz as the first Triple Crown winner since Joe Medwick in 1937 to fail to lead his league outright in batting average, home runs and runs batted in. https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/BOS/BOS196709300.shtml The Red Sox overcame a one-game deficit in the final weekend of the 1967 season by sweeping the Minnesota Twins at Fenway Park. A then-young Twins fan has yet to recover.

  12. What does this Trevor Bauer tweet mean? https://mobile.twitter.com/BauerOutage/status/1312869549067231232/photo/1
  13. In the late 1960s as an adolescent at a church camp,, I was in awe of a minister who said he got a hit off Bob Gibson as a high schooler in Omaha, Just Friday morning I was telling my daughter about prominent African Americans from Omaha, including Gibson and Gale Sayers, who died September 23.
  14. Mike Leake made his MLB debut with no minor league experience outside of the Arizona Fall League following the June 2009 draft.
  15. Good points. I am a fan of Carson Kelly, a local product (to me).
  16. Would the Arizona Diamondbacks be interested in Christian Vazquez in exchange for three years of righthander Luke Weaver, who has a surplus value of $15.6 million at Baseball Trade Values? https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/players/9711/ https://www.fangraphs.com/players/luke-weaver/16918/stats?position=P The Diamondbacks ranked 17th in catcher fWAR this year with a wRC+ of 66: https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=c&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=0&type=8&season=2020&month=0&season1=2020&ind=0&team=0,ts&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&startdate=2020-01-01&enddate=2020-12-31&sort=16,a
  17. Mike Leake's last visit to Fenway Park went well against the highly touted eventual World Series champions: https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/BOS/BOS201806230.shtml
  18. The team that signs Trevor Bauer may be buying high as the righthander ranks only 16th in fWAR among pitchers since the start of the 2019 season despite his stellar 2020 campaign: https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=pit&lg=all&qual=y&type=8&season=2020&month=0&season1=2019&ind=0&team=&rost=&age=&filter=&players=&startdate=&enddate=
  19. That's why I asked the question: Those are salient points but how does Jackie Bradley Jr. perceive the situation?
  20. I gave it only brief thought when I moved to Los Angeles from a state with no state income tax and a far lower cost of living.
  21. Baseball Trade Value revised Kyle Seager's trade value after an email to the site regarding Yusei Kikuchi and Seager. Seager remains way undervalued.
  22. I regret that I do not have access to most Boston Globe content but I have access to a report posted Sunday: https://www.boston.com/sports/boston-red-sox/2020/09/27/jackie-bradley-jr-red-sox-last-game
