I'd trade nomar mazara for him.

Hey good on the soxtalk posters who were in on mets using Nimmo as the piece. I never really bought that they would but here we are.

Eh if they can make it work I'm not sure they'll say "oh no we have jake marisnick"

What are those Castellanos numbers? edit: oh gtfo with career/162 numbers. Castellanos has averaged 20% better than average offense the last 4 years, nobody is going to hamstring him for his terrible first year, and subsequent two years that looked like Nomar Mazara.

Yes. It's unlikely he'd even be on the sox in the back half. This board in particular has this belief that so many contracts are unmovable. Check out what's happening with Price now. If you need to move a bad contract you can. If you need to move a bad contract that is also one of your most valuable players that you need a good return for - then you aren't in great shape. The most immovable contracts right now are mostly position players. Cabrera, pujols.

Man there has been zilch about Betances.

His avg. exit velocity reminded me a lot of tims. Swings a lot, lot of up the middle. Menechino can fix him.

There really are some similarities here:https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/jorge-soler-624585?stats=career-r-hitting-mlb Soler started making more good contact and using his strength. Mazara can kill a baseball but appears to make a lot of weak contact. It's a risk in both time and resources, but you can see why someone could think they can make that talent work.

hmm, lotta stuff not to like in here https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/nomar-mazara-608577?stats=statcast-r-hitting-mlb

I'm hoping what's happening is he's available, the sox scouts like him a lot, but he's not actually preventing them from anything.

that division is there for the taking. Devaluing the strong staff is scary but maybe they feel with boddy and the pitching staff they can make it work.

You read that wrong

Nvm I forgot Mazara hit that home run I want him now.

I’d be a great GM I just need a shot.

My last thoughts: there is a chance this works out very good for Sox. If the rays just traded for him we’d all be expecting a turnaround. But he went to the Sox... Again, you have to just hope he finds massive power like Soler. Not sure what we “get” with another cost controlled guy though.

But what if they give us additional cash considerations for all of our intl bonus pool? Still a deal?

Lol we’ve been arguing about defense for a slightly above average hitter (Ozuna) and poor one (Castellanos) and they are then trading for a below average, poor defender. We all won basically.

This will be part of our Avi/Mazara R/L platoon

Maybe he’ll have a soler like re emergence

It’s going to be bye bye stiever

HHahahaha

See, if they trade for Betts it means they’ll sign him. Case closed.

and for pretty cheap

Otto Porter out another month before he's even re-assessed ?
