I am not trying to be rude, but the trades you proposed are NOT even close to being realistic. Mitch Keller has a trade value of 72.4 according to BTV trade value chart, Campbell, Sandlin, and Mullins combined add up to 22.6. This doesn't even account for the fact that a small market team like Pitt is not going to take on a $60million contract for an unproven prospect that looked incredibly overmatched in their stint in MLB.

I doubt it, I think he wants the security of a 5 year deal for his final MLB contract.

Suarez is NOT a good bat, his avg stat line over the past 5 years is .229ba, .304obp, .768ops, he is a decent home run hitter, NOTHING more. He also will be 35 years old next year, is his defense is falling off a cliff.

I give it a 75% chance Bregman re-signs with Boston for somewhere around 5yr/150mil, he simply means too much to this team to let him go. He is a gold glove 3b that is pretty much guaranteed to give you a .275ba, .350obp, .800ops, 125ops+ 30+2b and 25+hr line every year. Shockingly, he was far better on the road this year vs Fenway, which is very puzzling considering his career numbers at Fenway prior to this year. On top of what he gives you on the field, his leadership in the clubhouse can NOT be overstated. His influence on young guys like Anthony, Mayer, Campbell brings a ton of value. Rumors are that his wife fell in love with Boston, and we all know his close ties to Cora, which leads me to believe that the Sox end up ponying up and keeping Bregman in Boston

I think we are going to have to be patient with Tolle, it wouldn't surprise me if he gets knocked around in his first few starts. His fastball obviously dominates at the AAA level, but major league hitters will feast on 98mph if it isn't located. Considering Tolle will most likely be involved in an offseason push for Joe Ryan, I just hope he doesn't crater his trade value.

I am probably a huge upgrade over Buehler right now, so that isn't saying much.

Since his second Tommy John surgery, May's velocity is way down and he is NOWHERE close to being the same pitcher he used to be! His 7.09era away from Dodger Stadium this year also doesn't give me much confidence.

Dustin May may not be the worst starter the Red Sox could have gotten, but he is pretty darn close! Aside from his extremely alarming 7.02era away from Dodger Stadium, he ranks in the bottom 25% of all pitchers in expected batting avg, hard hit %, he also ranks in the bottom 17% in expected ERA, fastball run value, avg exit velo, chase %, and whiff %. So to sum it up, he can't fool hitters, he can't miss bats, he is getting barreled up way too often, and he is giving up too much hard contact which is leading to far too many runs. This is not exactly the recipe for a quality starting pitcher to lean on down the stretch!

A metric is defined by Webster's as a "standard of measurement", so please stop embarrassing yourself by trying to be a douche to me, just because your imbecilic take is getting shredded by everybody. I have forgotten more about this game than you will ever know.

Using errors and fielding % as a metric to judge defensive value in 2025 is laughable! Outs Above Average, Defensive Runs Saved, Ultimate Zone Rating, etc. are far better metrics to use when assessing the defensive value of a player. Rafaela is by far the best defensive CF on the Red Sox, and arguably the best defensive CF in MLB!
