    Slatens fastball looks sharp! would love to get him back to his 2024 spot, would give us a great three-headed bullpen monster

    Baseball Referenece and Fangraphs estimate 2026 payroll at 197 Million. I have Bichette and Suarez getting 33 and 22M a year respectively. That would put the Sox payroll at 252, only 6 Million above the CBT threshold. Sign them both. The Cubs are going to figure it out with Shaw and a full infield, the Sox can do it with Mayer. Trading Devers and losing Bregman freed up 67Million for this year. Suarez on a 3ish year deal would leave us with just 4 players under contract after 2030. There is no reason why the Sox should not be going in for both.

    Sonny Gray finished last year with the 6th best SIERRA, 11th best FIP, and 3rd highest BABIP. Even some of his worse stats (4th in LD%, 16th in Hard%), he finds himself around both Framber and Cease, the top 2 SPers on the market. If Gray works, he can be a very effective #2. At the moment, I see him more as a Giolito replacement, and it seems like the Sox see him as that as well (not much higher from what Gio's option was). Clarke profiles more of a bullpen guy at best due to his high stress delivery and high walk rate, and Fitts likely doesn't have the stuff to be anything more than a fringe starter or swing guy. Love this trade for Breslow if we add another starter, slightly upset if we don't. Gray will likely go down the sinker/cutter pipeline as his fastball has rapidly declined, but his command and breaking balls are arguably at their best points. Should be a shoe in for 28-32 starts as well.

    I didn't hear anything about any sort of mechanical issues with KC, but check me if im wrong. The hope is with a full offseason of putting on strength and a mental reset and we can just write off last season as a weird fluke.
  5. Cameron Tran
    I think KC was definetly rushed. Him signing that big contract put too much pressure on him to perform immediately, as having that money in AAA might not go down well with the "casual" fan.

    I have Alonso, Helsley, and Weaver coming in as FA signings, while we make a trade for a Joe Ryan or a Hunter Greene. I think our position player group is good enough where just one big time middle of the order bat can push us into that upper echelon. Would rather trade from surplus (OF) to gain a top line starter. Interesting to see how other teams would value Duran, and how much he could get us in terms of that top line starter. How much more would the Reds ask for Hunter Greene? Saw a Duran + for Ketel Marte trade idea I honestly didnt hate, but would rather trade for a starter and sign a middle of the order bat.
  7. Cameron Tran
    I agree. I much rather us go with Alonso. If Casas comes out of camp playing well he could factor in at DH, we can never have too many middle of the order bats. Of course, that leaves Yoshida with nowhere to play, but I'd be fine with us taking a good chunk of that contract to move him.
  8. Cameron Tran
    just a thought that popped up. If Duran gets traded, does anyone know who gets moved to left? I assume it would be Roman, as Wilyer is a 2 time gold glove in a tough right field, but left with the monster is tricky
  9. Cameron Tran
    I dont get why everyone is writing off Casas already. I know he was really bad in his start last year, but so was Trev. He was starting to slug a bit before getting injured as well. People forget his last healthy season he was an .856 ops hitter. Still only 25. He should have a chance to win the 1b job this spring.
  10. Cameron Tran
    If Josh Naylor can get to 30 bags, anyone can
  11. Cameron Tran
    Serious .300/.400/.500 potential. That's a stud. I haven't been this excited about a sox player since Pablo Reyes had that week long stretch where he was awesome in 2023 (kidding, but point stands)
  12. Cameron Tran
    Roman Anthony had the 3rd longest batted ball of Paul Skenes this year. He allowed 4 hits over 400 feet this year. Out of all 4, Skenes threw Roman the fastest pitch. Roman Anthony is 21. He had less than 250 Major League atbats at the time.
  13. Cameron Tran
    I think everyone here is way to low on Roman. From the start of July until September 2nd (when he got hurt) Roman was 10th in MLB in OPS, 5th in OBP, 11th in WRC+, 4th in hard hit%, 3rd in EV. Also graded out well in RF with 6 OAA and 3 FRV. This kid is a stud. Going to be a perineneal all star. Will be an MVP candidate year in year out. Clearly our best player. This kids incredible and if we build a team lets build it around him.
  14. Cameron Tran
    Saying Anthony is a worm-killer is insane. Our best hitter from July on. Going to be a superstar for years to come.
  15. Cameron Tran
    Sucks that Masa is such a roster crunch right now. I really don't see a role for him on this team. At this point, he's a primary DH who doesn't hit for power but is getting paid 18M for the next 2 years. Maybe we can eat some money, package him with some prospect, and dump him on some team for a comp pick or something of the sorts.
  16. Cameron Tran
    a front 3 of Greene, Crochet, Bello with potential for Early, Tolle, Harrison, Perales, or Witherspoon to join that might rival 04 or 07.
  17. Cameron Tran
    True, we need right hand power. As much as Kyle from Waltham rocks, Alonso should honestly be our top target this offseason. Casas can DH coming off a serious knee injury. Bregman can be replaced by Mayer. Pitching is the problem, but at the end of the day we lost the WC series cause we couldn't hit.
  18. Cameron Tran
    Thing about Cody is he's pretty split proof, but he pulls the ball more than average, not a perfect fit for Fenways cavernous right field
  19. Cameron Tran
    Agreed, Major league ready/ near major league ready prospects are more valuable, and Cincinnati isn't rebuilding like Chicago.
  20. Cameron Tran
    I'd trade KC, Garcia, Abreu, and 1-2 mid tier pitching prospects (Sandlin, Perales, Clarke). Honestly, if they ask for Tolle, I'd take a good long think about it. Not often someone like Hunter Greene pops up on the trade market.
  21. Cameron Tran
    I'd be interested to see how much other teams value KC, especially with that contract. The only role I can see him having with the Sox is as long time 2B, but Mayer likely wins that (with a Romy platoon) if Bregman comes back. If Bregman doesn't and Mayer shifts to 3rd, I'm not sure KC beats Romy for an everyday role. Doesn't make sense for him not to play if it isn't in an every day role.
  22. Cameron Tran
    That's fair. Demand for Bregman will probably be fairly high though. Wouldn't be surprised if he got offers of 5+ 30M AAV. I love Bremgan, but a pivot to Alonso or Schwarber would honestly be better. We need a clubhouse leader, and both of them are proven voices.
  23. Cameron Tran
    Bregman is a guy I'd be willing to overpay for and pay into his late 30s. Should be better next season after having to rush back from the quad injury. I see him having a justin turner esque career path into his late 30s. This clubhouse also needs a leader, and its clear the young guys (Mayer and Anthony in particular) gravitate to him.
  24. Cameron Tran
    Seems like there will be a long term market for him. Tigers offered 6 years last year, wouldn't be surprised if do it again.
  25. Cameron Tran
    Alex Bregman opting out according to Jon Heyman. Nothing we didn't expect. In my mind, we have to bring him back to lead the clubhouse. How does 6 years 165 sound?
