  1. i feel like Rosenthal is putting this out there because buyers want it out there. But really i dont see any evidence of what Ken is saying.. for a few years now teams have been really reticent to trade top prospects. Even for Crochet, we had to take a catcher and an injured guy to get Top 100 guys. Teams now believe other teams are too good at evaluating their guys. Maybe we taught them that in the Semien and Tatis debacles
  2. I believe the Sox do truly believe in the culture BS highly. when they sign free agents they want them to come in and lead & inspire. i dont know Murakami's communication ability specifically but I think you couple that with the fact JR doesnt want to pay a posting fee to an outside party.. then that is probably gonna be that. Jerry doesnt like agents or finder fees of any sort
  3. The Sox will not sign Murakami but i imagine his situation is holding up some of the 1B market. Maybe O'Hearn signs with whoever is 2nd place on Murakami. Or is waiting to hear that a suitor is going with Murakami before pivoting to us or Pittsburgh. Depends maybe if you believe Mets really are done addressing 1B or not. Maybe Mets are saying Polanco will play 1B just as a way of making the agents of the 1B targets nervous.
  4. saber front offices are the driver of who gets paid extra. Rogers actually, believe it or not, has fantastic Stuff+ so for Rogers being 3 yr, Jansen being 1 yr + team option...that lines up. we saw the same issue with how Fedde's success meant little on the trade market ..vs. the less-successful-better-Stuff+ Kikuchi
  5. Hill is nearly a 1.5 fWAR player who costs nothing. we dont tend to have those sadly ,so he matters
  6. Pereira however may be needed for CF. either now or at deadline.
  7. i'll never look into yourrrrrrrrrrrrrrr eyes........aaaagain
  8. he needs to realize that, yes, they have Dominos Pizza here, but other cities have it as well
  9. the move to make here is another Vargas type move... Marlins really followed that with Stowers, who is a guy that had multiple MLB chances but hadnt done anythng with it. Now he's an All-Star. Hopefully we can talk to someone with a stacked farm system who has people blocked, and we can evaluate traits over performance. I say this because people are not trading bats, or teenagers. Caissie for Houser is unrealistic pipe dream. Same with Alcantara. Same with Shaw.
  10. Rosenthal mentions Philles and Padres, and that Robert should be dealt soon. also says teams bug us for Grant Taylor
  11. Ozzie said "I saw Mark's kids being born in Chicago" and i thought to myself wow managers today have far less control than they used to. If he was in that delivery room, jeez. Kevin Cash would never
  12. Sosa had that snagged at the wall by future teammate Michael Conforto lol
  13. Fedde got Vargas (or Edman) and what is cool about that is he cost a little bit of money in salary..whereas Houser is gonna draw some small market suitors who like the cheapness of it (who probably were not eligible for Fedde in that previous scenario)
