Casas, Abreu and Crawford? That’s a pretty outrageous cost in talent.not sure where to put this but:
with rumors of casas being floated (tho, denied) and the need for a proper RHH, added to the $700M offered to soto….well got me thinking.
maybe bres is after vlad jr. he’s not gonna stay in toronto, w rumors he’s turning down extension offers.
casas, abrea? maybe a crawford too? sign that big extension to him ($500M+)?
sign bueler. anthony takes over RF. grissom or cambell at 2nd?
downt beat me up too much. but his age and these other factors have me…dreamjn?
I get it, offensively he’s exactly what this team needs, but one year of Vlad for ten years of two of the best young players in the game is already way too much - forget throwing in Crawford. Personally, I wouldn’t trade Casas or Abreu straight up for Vlad.
Let’s remember, that while Vlad is probably the Sox’s ideal fit offensively he’s also a terrible match defensively. He’s essentially the Devers of 1b: consistently a horrible defender yet given repeated chances to continue to play in the field because -as the biggest star on his team - keeping him happy is a team priority. Like Raffy, Vlad is the worst defender at his position (according to OAA) since he entered the league in 2019 (-31 OAA). You can’t have two guys who should be DHing signed to huge contracts until their late 30s. You just can’t.
