If you take away Eovalids career years last year (I know I know cherry picking) the best season he’s ever had was a 3.3 fwar almost a decade ago. Take that year away and Taillon returns a similar value. If she projections mean anything to you Nate has that disadvantage too. I do not hate a Nate resigning. I just don’t hate Taillon/Senga/draft pick either.
-
I think the Red Sox have to stay close to $10 million under to account for trades and call ups if they seriously want to reset. Still plenty of money to work with
-
Ok, you always have struck me as one of the more intelligent posters in here. I feel like this is in reference to some asinine point a poster made on a day that I was not in here and there’s some inside joke I’m not part of….fill me in bro.
-
This, Bogey had a weird year. power down, average up due to extreme luck on ground balls, and his defense was only plus in the shift that is going away. I don’t think any is saying Correa isn’t the better player by far. Still, Bogey is homegrown and if the money is right should be the #1 choice. But if the moneys close, let’s say 45 million or less, the Sox should seriously consider Correa.
-
I apologize it’s 2-3 years younger, which still, assuming you’re trying to sign these guys for roughly 4 years that’s a big deal. Also Nate will net you a pick and those guys won’t cost you one.
-
ehh, both those guys can be just as good and better at their best. Yes Nathan is proven here but these guys have 4 years on him and the Sox will net a pick. If it's their second pitcher on top of either Senga or a trade I'm ok with it. Not that I hate an Eovaldi reunion, I don't.
-
What I don't understand is, if people really think the Sox are too cheap to sign Bogey or any of the other shorts stops where do they think the money is going to go? Do they seriously believe the Sox are going to stay significantly under the cap? This is delusional because all history and precedent as well as language coming out of the front office indicate otherwise. You can only have so many reclamation projects, eventually, they would have to start removing star prospects from the 40-man. it ain't happening, it's not a logical argument. The money is going somewhere folks. You can throw around words such as dumpster diving, or Tampa north or whatever you fancy when you get hot and bothered but your argument falls flat and short of reality. The money is going somewhere. If not Bogey, its Correa/Swanson/Turner. If it's nto a SS they're going big on pitching (DeGrom and Verlander) and if it's none of thee above they're going after Judge. What other argument is there? you think they're going to pay Franchy 1 year 70 million just to piss you off?
-
I think that's a guarantee, but it all comes down to price. Anyone would take Correa over Bogaerts if the money is close to even but if COrrea is getting 260 and Bogey can be had for 160 I'd go with Bogey and so would Boston.
-
Or if Correa is only slightly more expensive why wouldn't you take the better player and net a pick? I don't even dare to ask who your ss is. Let me guess.....some guy?
-
I know this is the opposite of the trend but given Devers young age and my faith in his ability to hit well into his 30s I’d give him his 300 if he’d take it in 12. I’d even have it kick in this year and lower the AAV. Sox would have the money still to go out and sign Senga + another #2#3 type, Correa, Conforto, and a reliever. That’s my dream off-season. I wouldn’t hate a Bogey reunion as well.
-
welcome to the 2022 pitching market. Replace Taillon with Walker or Eovaldi if you'd like.
-
This is why you don't pay DeGrome or Verlander 40 million. Signifcant age and injury risk aside you need two pitchers not 1. Give me Senga and Taillon. Sale Senga Taillon Bello Pivetta Whitlock Paxton If by some miracle all 7 are healthy push a guy to the pen and roll out with a 6 man to start the season. You still have enough money left over to sign Correa, Conforto and a reliever, net two picks and reset the cap.
-
The poll is flawed because the AAV range stays the same while the years change. If a player is taking less years he's likely demanding more AAV.
-
many of those players were a disaster the following year. Kind of reminds me of the results from 2021-2022 without the sweet sweet victory of a WS.
-
I think depending on where a player is at is important. Devers is close to FA, hes' going to have to be offered something close to what he thinks hes' worth on the FA market. When a guy is multiple years away he has to decide if he wants to take security or bank on a payday. I can understand a team not negotiating with a guy 2-4 years away. This is the price now, take it or leave it.
-
Remember this is a starting point, that’s a very reasonable opening offer. I think they get something done
-
Baseball never has, and perhaps never will be like the NBA or the NFL where free agency starts and seemingly finishes within one week. It's a much longer offseason, and I don't expect anything to happen for at least a few more weeks. FWIW the small number of moves that have taken place have all been extensions or re-signings. No major players changing hands have occurred yet.
-
A lot of teams have zero rings over the past couple decades, I mean if that's the unit of measure we have the best ownership in baseball. FWIW, Bloom didn't bring anyone over, it's largely still the red sox front office +Bloom and the same ownership that has the most rings in baseball this millennium. I was about to hit the post, then I realized the audience here and realized this is going to get a lot of the rapid bloom haters all hot and bothered so let me just state this by no means defends Bloom or compels people to act is if the FO doesn't deserve criticism. But it serves as a point and in the spirit of devil's advocate. But to go back to my original post, I don't think Boston is becoming "Tampa North" but I was pointing out that that wouldn't be the worse thing given their recent track record. They're still a playoff team, and have the capacity to win the east next year, maybe even win the whole dang thing.
-
The guy would be equivalent to trade for a high-end closer mid-season which would make sense for a timeline. Without giving up any prospects and for almost no money. Might be worth exploring a 40 man spot on.
-
Alex Reyes gets non-tendered, he just seems to make too much sense did this bullpen. Does someone have naked pictures of Bloom? We need to get this done!
-
Tampa has made the playoffs 3 years in a row and looks poised to win the division next year. Would Tampa north really be all that bad right now???
-
Technically he did, but he also built it up too and used it to build up a sports empire that is still going strong. FWIW a lot of hedge funds went belly up during the financial crisis.
-
They weren't that down on him, they just weren't as high as everyone else and said repeatedly they thought the national media had him ranked too high. They said the same thing about Jurran Durran two years ago, in that they thought the national media had him ranked way too high. Also, Soxprospects did away with comps for a very good reason in that they completely hated them.
-
IDK, this feels like pure conjecture. I don't think Henry is heavily invested in it, or at least enough to change any decisions the Red Sox will make. Is there any evidence to back this up? any articles tying Henry to NFT???
-
That's fine, and that's great, and he can still be a valuable useful player. But this team needs 3 starting outfielders and after 2023 they have one in Verdugo and he will be a FA after that as well. This team could really use another outfielder whether via FA or trade.
