fathom

but if it doesn't vest, Sox have an option?

I don't want to search to find it here, but Kimbrel definitely has a team option for next year, right?

I must have missed where Rizzo has a team option for next year

oh come on

Fangraphs has always been higher on Madrigal than even his parents

I told some on here that Tony was saying the first month of the season that the Sox were going to go crazy at the deadline, assuming COVID restrictions eased up.

gonna be cute seeing Madrigal trying to hit the ball out of Wrigley with the wind blowing in

Just don't get swept this series

they tried to trade Madrigal and Heuer but couldn't get good enough value in the offseason

thank you, he's so easily replaceable

is Madrigal that much better than Hernandez in your mind?

well that model should tell you Madrigal has been hurt all 3 years

but he's been incredible this year and hopefully continues that for rest of the year. 1 year at 16 million for a great closer is not a bad deal for teams to consider this offseason.

Wouldn't rule out not bringing back Hernandez this offseason and signing someone like E. Escobar

no, why you ask?

As someone mentioned earlier, can people admit they were making ridiculous excuses for him because he didn't play like they thought he would?

Hot take....he would have still been probably their 7th or 8th best offensive weapon

I bet you they trade Kimbrel this offseason

Kimbrel is the most dominant pitcher I've seen in baseball this year.

there's a reason he was available the last two offseasons. I don't think he was what they thought he'd be.

that's the thing, he's the favorite for a lot of people that value batting average more than slugging stats

you joke but I wouldn't rule it out

and at this point, there has to be concerns about his injury history. The funny thing is Hoerner and him are basically the same player.

Haha. I can’t keep rooting against Madrigal. Great trade

Me too
