Muller was the #1 prospect and Tarnok the #6 prospect in the Braves system. Yeager is not on the top 30 Braves prospect list on MLB.com. Ruiz was the Brewers #8 prospect.
Wow that return for Oakland is really, really bad. The Red Sox could have beaten that easily if they wanted to. I did this on BTV as well.
I wouldn't mind the Red Sox taking a look to see what this market may be. It would be an upgrade on the tandem they have now.
Would it shock anyone if Sanchez ends up on the Sox? Maybe they are comfortable with McGuire / Wong, but I’m skeptical…
I'd rather stick with McGuire/Wong. Sanchez hit .205 with a .659 OPS and very shoddy defense despite a great arm.
I was going to say, I pay just enough attention to the MFY subforum that I think they'd all be ecstatic about Sanchez going to Boston. Dude fell off hard from the early years.
Ok, sure. Are there any players you’d like the Sox to spend their money on? Every player left is pretty flawed. You can make a case against every one with valid reasons…but wasn’t this the off-season the Sox were going to flex their financial muscle a bit more? Seems like we are being kinda picky.
What's not to like about it? They almost always have a reasonably competitive team, they keep managers (and stability) for a long time in general, and as far as I can tell the market does a pretty good job of supporting them when they are good, while not turning into a dumpster fire when they have a down year or two. It seems like a pretty awesome place to be a professional baseball player.
This is obviously a totally fair statement, but I think it probably matters less to rich baseball players than to me and you.The fans do a racist chant pretty incessantly, but the rest of that, agreed.
Of the people available as FA, I think I'm most interested in Turner. This list in particular seems like a paying for past performance situation though. And I don't want the Sox to spend just to say they spent, I want them to actually get something for that money, and unfortunately the players available on the market don't do a great job matching up with their needs.
He has 2 more arbitration years left. This year he's projected in the $12 million range.
If the report is valid, that's something I could see Seattle or Baltimore trying to pull off ... a team on the cusp of taking the step up. Castillo and Fried would be a strong 1-2
I'd be all over that if I was Bloom. He was brilliant in 2021 and he's under control through 2027.
Yes, you can use the 60 day starting on the first day of spring training.
