  1. Where can we truly upgrade our roster??? 1B - casas - injured most of 2024. Potential superior power hitter, cost controlled. Defense is a dumpster fire!!!! 2B - Bergman? Or Campbell? - is Bergman at 200mm really that big an upgrade of Campbell???? Campbell very cost controlled. Both should be average defenders. SS - story - often injured. Decent defender. Decent hitter???? 3B - devers - superior power hitter. Absolute dumpster fire on defense C - wong - decent hitter. If not over used. Dumpster fire on defense LF - Duran - quality bat. Speed. Decent defense. CF - rafeala - very young. Cost controlled. Potential to be decent bat. Superior defender RF - abreau - cost controlled. Potential to be decent bat. Superior defender
  2. For 2025, theoretically, we could have 1.) casas and story healthy!!! 2.) rafeala playing centerfield and not ping ponging back and forth. 3.) rafeala experienced and past the first four woeful months of 2024! 4.) abreau experienced now! 5.) Campbell could win the 2B job! in theory, these changes plus the rotation additions and the additional pitching depth has to equate to more wins in 2025!
  3. Hope is never a good strategy
  4. If Mayer gets off to a good start at Worcester, does he get the call up to Boston when story gets his season ending injury????? it is not like Mayer is the next cal Ripken ????
  5. In 2024, the Red Sox brought in 800 million in revenue and spent 200 million on salaries and another 300 million (estimated) in operations! Net to ownership of 300 million less taxes! not a bad year for a sucky team
  6. Maybe the Mets step up big time for Bergman and we focus on catching and the bullpen!
  7. The taxes are much more favorable in Arizona
  8. Burnes wanted to stay close to family in Arizona!
  9. It appears the Mets are making a run at Bergman! The last three years, Bergman cannot hit left handed pitching either! I think if we got a closer and a right handed hitting catcher, we would be a playoff team next year
  10. Our outfield is very young, but also above average defensively and getting better offensively!!! Plus we have a potential star on the rise as well
  11. Do we really believe bres-slow is trying to include yoshida in various trades????
  12. Now we just need someone to sign Bergman so we can get past that nonsense as well
  13. Have any of our free agent pitchers signed for 2025 yet??
  14. Why go with one narvaez at catcher when we can have two?????
  15. I think Pittsburgh would be insane to move jones, dipito is not willing to dance on any of his four youngsters! any chance we can see if cease is available???
  16. Are we really struggling to beat out Detroit for Bergman???
  17. Is Carson Kelly still available???? any interest in McCann????? Or bringing back McGuire???? we cannot only have 2 catchers on the 40 man roster!!!!!!
  18. Fulmer, Campbell, adams, mills, mata, and now moran! none on the 40 man roster! Seems bres-slow sees a need for depth in the bullpen in 2025!
  19. Can Whitlock be ready to go by April??
  20. Do we give slaten first shot until Hendricks gets back up to speed????
  21. This is how you know your 40 man roster is getting deeper! Teams are willing to trade for your castoffs!!!! granted, we are not getting high quality n return yet, but we are clearly improving the roster!!!!
  22. Speaking of closer, Helsey and arenado solve two problems for us. Will bres-slow decide to pursue this ????
  23. Jones would have been the perfect pitcher for us! But I can understand the pirates asking a king’s ransom for Jones!!
  24. Now that we have buehler signed for 2025, if pivetta’s market never develops, maybe then, he could be a good bullpen/starter guy for us.
