Hitting .304 with a .379 obp in 2022 is pretty much the equivalent of hitting .325 with .415 obp five or six years ago. Have to consider how bad offensive numbers have been the last couple years league wide. Abreu was essentially as good a hitter as he always has been, relative to the league

Liam isn’t throwing equipment during his post game celebrations. Throwing equipment during a game is supposed to be an automatic ejection

With Pena, the Astros knew they were getting good glove defense at SS, whether he hit or not.

Wasn’t it because of the racketeering and insider trading? Cohen just blowing his ill gotten gains on the mets

According to all reports he’s well above average in fielding/arm/run categories, so not sure how he could be said to suck

Well, he’s vastly superior with the glove, while they’d be settling for below average defense from TA. Unless they think they can fix his ambivalence towards fundamentals

You sold me on Outman, ain’t gonna lie

I’m predicting 300 plate appearances right now

The baller move would be to sign Correa then make that Dodger trade. Too bad we have a cuckold front office

Well yeah. Just saying he’s not top tier like these guys.

Bogaerts, 29: 34.9 career WAR Turner, 29: 29.7 Correa, 27: 39.5 Anderson, 29: 18.2 Sorry, TA is not on these guys’ level

No he’s not. These guys have like twice or more TA’s career WAR

I said ideally. Obviously the Sox won’t cut him. Dude has averaged 5+ walks per nine for six straight years. Ideally they wouldn’t have traded for him in the first place

Is there no better option than Frazier for second base?

I was wondering if the kids got hold of his phone or something

Wow. Wish our Sox did that. Probably going to be a bargain

Ideally even Diekman should be on the bubble. He has never been that good really

No reason not to make this pick. The last couple spots on the staff should be open to competition, might as well pick up as many options as possible

He could be, but I don’t see how this has any bearing on the matter. I’d think he’d be competing for a final roster spot rather than usurping a valuable member of the staff

There is no one close to Hendriks that is available in free agency.

How in the world is Hendriks value depressed at this moment when there are zero comparable pitchers available and several major competitors in need of a closer. Hendriks’ value will never be higher than right now

If I were the Sox and refusing to spend on free agents at this time, then I would either trade any package of prospects and guys on the edges of the 26 man roster, like Sheets, Burger or Crochet, necessary to acquire quality major league 2b and OFer, or I would blow the whole thing up. s%*# or get off the pot. Definitely wouldn’t sell a high end closer and then turn around and act like we’re trying to compete.

I’d rather acquire the necessary players during the off season to help the Sox win during the first four months of the season. Waiting until the trade deadline to fill glaring holes makes zero sense to me

I disagree. A team like the Dodgers doesn’t want to go into a season without a high end closer. There is no one comparable to Hendriks available in free agency and most high end closers are already on teams expecting to compete, and therefore unavailable. Scarcity is definitely in our favor here. Dodgers, Phillies, and I guess the Rangers must be expecting to compete as well, but lack a legit closer.

The other options would include trading players that aren’t part of the projected 26 man roster
