  1. What? Lopez is a 2 win starter with tons of untapped potential and four years of team control. Plenty of teams would have interest in him. To say a worthless player like Reddick who is under control for only one more season is the best we could get (even with some pay subsidy) is quite frankly a stupid take.

  2. I don't think Robert will be ready this season. He is still too raw and strikeouts way too much.

  4. I'm not trying to get anyone to go away. I'm trying to get you to stop repeating yourself and ruining one of the few threads on this site that I honestly love. I can't even parse through this thread anymore without coming across you firing people and benching people and throwing out hot take after hot take. I avoid multiple threads for the same reason. The baseball offseason is long as fuck and now the bears suck and I have to deal with that too as well as you saying the same shit all week. Come up with another fucking talking point for Christ sake, I would rather read GoSox05 passive aggressive packers shit

  8. This board is becoming fucking toxic. We're all supposed to be having fun here and we're all cannibalizing each other. I feel like nobody can even make a post anymore on any forum without being attacked. Those that feel optimistic get attacked, those that feel pessimistic get attacked, those that are neutral get attacked. All have valid points. Let's stop fucking eating each other and have fun. This is supposed to be fun. It's really not anymore. I feel like I'm on a political board, that's how bad it is here. Everyone is divided into cliques, and they spew vitriol at anyone who disagrees. I used to really enjoy posting here and I don't anymore.

  9. In this thread, people with no actual knowledge of any player's true value on the open market, will make absolute declarations about every player's value on the open market.

  10. I don't even think it would take both. Just Lopez. Nimmo's been hurt and only had 1 good year. Lopez has more team control than Nimmo. You're over valuing Nimmo and under valuing Lopez.

  11. So are you if you think the Mets would give up Nimmo for those 2.

  12. You're high. I usually agree with you, but I think Lopez could get Nimmo in a 1 for 1 deal.

  13. +100. Pretty sure all 29 clubs would have interest in Lopez if Sox were looking to trade him. He's been a top 15 pitcher in the AL both of the last two seasons per fWAR. Sox fans wildly undervalue him because he's been wildly inconsistent, and that for sure limits his value. But he's still a rock solid back of the rotation pitcher, with upper middle rotation upside, under control for 4 seasons - that has value.

  14. So you're basing this on a comment section that is publically available, got it. Actual executives and reporters are saying the hammer is coming down.

  16. I’d say that’s a good starting point, but also the forfeiture of international bonus pool and suspensions and/or bannings. They really have to make an example of these guys.

  18. ron, he's not trying to moderate, just being a nice guy. As far as Tsutsugo, I think he could be a platoon RF with Castellanos.

  19. Great post. I definitely agree. I’d really like to give Collins as many at bats as possible next year.

  20. I’d like to suggest locking this thread. Any rumors that surface can go in the specific thread for that player. Anybody agree?

  24. Nimmo has 3 years of control left, was a successful first round pick, was hurt for 1 year, and was a 4+ win player in 2018. If we traded a guy like that for a 4th starter even with some ceiling, I'd be very angry, unless the guys medicals were terrible. If we traded pre-2019 Rodon for a Lopez and a Dunning equivalent, I'd have assumed they thought Rodon was likely to get far worse and they needed to dump him before more injuries happened.

  26. Assuming that other teams are likely to make bad moves is usually not a reasonable way to plan for these deals, but as long as from now on everyone says "And yes this deal is terrible for them but the Mets are stupid enough to do it" when they say something like that then I can't complain.

  27. Maybe if the Mets know that Nimmo has a degenerative condition and won't ever play again.

  28. Add in a Vaughn/Madrigal to those 2 and you've got something reasonable.

  29. He's not worthless, he's worth more than a Mazara or a Polanco, but not a whole lot more than that. Seriously, what exciting player that can actually start are people thinking they'd get for him?

  31. Those are not particularly valuable trade chips. I literally don't know who you're thinking about with those, Reddick with the Astros paying half?

  33. Usually then Passan follows, if that happens, I like the odds. For some reason I always get Zack Wheeler and Dylan Bundy confused, which is why I didn't like the interest as much. I'm ok with going 5/100 for Wheeler as a #2. Wheeler was dealt for Beltran.... Bundy was never dealt. I'll get it one day.

  34. No one cares what a single baseball writer thinks a players destination will be. MLBTraderumors does predictions every off-season; based on feedback and things they're hearing and etc. They get about 4-6 out of the top 50 right every off-season. No one has any idea where anyone is signing or going.

  35. I'm going to have to agree with Balta here, The one advantage that everyone seems to overlook is OBP prospects have a much better chance to become highly valuable pieces going forward due to that plate discipline. Not only does it produce a lot of walks but you can become a much better hitter once you figure out how to use that great eye on hitting pitches in the zone like Moncada did. You want more examples ? Ok Look at Semien and Narvaez both have far surpassed any projections of them because they used their great plate discipline to learn to hit pitches in the zone. That doesn't mean Collins will become great. But it does mean if he does start to use that batting eye to become a better hitter like Moncada,Semien and Narvaez he will be so much better than an undisciplined hitter such as Avi who has all kinds of talent but never was very good at plate discipline. If he was he could've been a superstar. Once the hit tool catches up to the plate discipline we are looking at All Star level production. Of course that's what also makes Grandal an All-Star I'd love to have Grandal on the same team as Collins because along with Moncada there are 2 guys Collins can probably learn a lot from about using that great eyes to become much better as a hitter. No need for a DH then between Abreu, Grandal Collins McCann Eloy . Sox learn a lesson from past mistakes. Keep high OBP prospects , Draft more of them.

  36. Firing a coach after he has a half a bad season or even after one bad season is something teams like the Browns and Dolphins do all the time.

  41. Personally yeah that's what I'd do. Give Collins his shot, catchers take forever to develop anyway, and if we're bad at that position, we won't be the only team who's bad at that position, and that's an easy one to add defensive backups a the deadline. My setup has always been - maximize what we can get internally, as the internal options are the guys who make it possible for us to afford other positions. If we can turn Collins into something tolerable, a 2 win catcher over the next 2 seasons, we fill that spot with average production and do so without spending money. So skip Grandal, but give me the frontline starting pitcher (and yes I know we won't get that one but that's how I'd do it).

  42. I've always questioned the league(s) he was in for years. Always getting trades that rip off the other guy mostly every post he has here in the fantasy thread. Either that, or his friends are complete idiots who know nothing about the game.

  43. These cant be real people. This would be vetoed in my league because theyd think it was collusion. Anything is possible as Cook/Kelce could both get injured and be worthless, but the people in your league are horrible at life.

  44. Here is my fear: - The reporting of Badler that it has gotten to the point teams are negotiating with 13-14 year olds - Jerry Reinsdorf, already a skeptic of spending money on “crapshoot” 16 year olds refuses to allow Sox to play that field - Jerry ties his own organizations hands in international so he can have bigger bargaining power in next CBA to install a draft. - Meanwhile sox lose out on best pipeline to keep infusing talent while competitive, and lack prospects to trade and hit ceiling of budget too soon. obviously point two is my theory, but Sox have jumped on opportunities to sign older talent in international while always saying what a crapshoot signing 16 year olds is.
