  1. Toronto bringing in Tucker for a visit???
  2. Bres-slow would be wise to shop Duran as a 7 war player!!
  3. That Worcester rotation could develop into an amazing rotation! I saw that drohan was predicted to start the year in the Boston bullpen! We definitely need more lefties since bres-slow sent a ton of them elsewhere earlier this offseason.
  4. And the best farm system in baseball!! But heavy on outfielders at the moment.
  5. The New York sports radio guys were split on this trade. No word yet on what bres-slow thinks
  6. Is commensurate value as a 7 war player or a 4 war player???
  7. Although Rafaela has been known to swing the bat at bumblebees as far outside the strike zone as the on deck circle!!!
  8. I have stated in the past that I do not believe we have an outfield overage and I stick by that, but New York sports radio thinks the Mets are resigning Alonso and then trading tong and vientos to us for Duran and cutter!!! I absolutely love this trade!! Bres-slow to the rescue
  9. So ragans is long relief now?? Duran may be an overpay
  10. Ouch!! I wonder if they saw him throw before signing him.
  11. Toronto signs ponce for 3 years and 30 million
  12. Does Washington need to add salary to meet the minimum for next year?? they need salary, they have gore! we have yoshida and/or hicks and young cost controlled pitchers like Tolle, early and dobbins
  13. Cole ragans is rumored to have a rotator cuff injury! Maybe we pass on both trades for now
  14. Is bres-slow serious about trading for ragans?? is ragans rotator cuff functional at this point??
  15. Has anybody else noticed that cohen and the Mets seems to sign a lot of yankees players
  16. I think dollars are important to Bregman. But so is winning.
  17. Alonso would be a shock to me if we went that route, but bres-slow has shocked me before! (Crochet trade)
  18. That is why I try to see as many games as possible. I have seen arias the most of all the Red Sox prospects and I will say truthfully, that defensively he is one of the best Red Sox shortstop prospect I have ever seen!!! his range is incredible and he Hoovers everything! But the very first game I ever saw him play, he airmailed a throw on a routine ground ball with the world’s slowest runner chugging to first base. I am so glad I got to see him many more times after that, because he is amazing defensively! Ps: still got way too much rafeala in his offensive game!
  19. I agree 100 percent. Trades have been an important part of roster building for us. yet another reason why drafting/international free agent signings and especially development are the lifeblood of an organization!!!
  20. Devin Williams signs with the Mets
  21. Do we really know what Sandoval is??? Seems like a bullpen kind of guy
  22. Fansided proposed we trade Tolle, Duran and Romero to the reds for Hunter Greene!!! Greene under team control to 2029! I know it is an expensive trade, but depending on Greene’s medicals, I might pull the trigger on that trade if the reds agree to it!
  23. I do not know if it is hope versus development. mayer is a hitter. No doubt in my mind. He just needs to stay healthy and see pitches. The kid can hit really well!!
  24. I believe Tolle and early need at least half a season in Worcester to sharpen their secondaries. I did not watch and Arizona league games, so I am blind in perales! Valera has special stuff!! Really special stuff, but health is a huge developmental factor for him. saw fajardo pitch once. And while the stuff played well, I need to see more innings, I have never seen travieso or Soto or delzine play so I cannot comment. While uberstine, drohan and Mullins have pedestrian stuff, I am confident all three can help in the Boston bullpen in 2026. I would be sad to lose Mullins in the rule 5 draft! (But happy if we could replace him with the Yankees pitcher cohen or Corbin. Something like that. That guy has some exciting stuff for the bullpen!!!) paez and monegro had decent stuff (pre injury) long term development needed on them! the 3 college pitchers are a mystery. I watched Witherspoon battle kade Anderson last year. No shame that Anderson won that game. Important point: Witherspoon is not Tolle! To hang Tolle like expectations on Witherspoon is not fair to Witherspoon. Evanson has two really good pitches. If he develops a third pitch, we may have something special!! Love his demeanor on the mound. He throws it up there and challenges guys to hit it. He could be our next Olive Garden pitcher serving up a lot of meatballs! sandlin is our current Olive Garden out here. Everything this guy throws is fast, but actual straight line, hitters just have to time it up!! Trade bait for sure!!! mcneil??? I saw a lot of Tennessee games and I think the best thing I can say about McNeil is that….. he is the new Clarke!!!
