SF and NY should be penalized in some way. You can't offer someone you know that has a bum ankle a crazy deal then pull out when the physical shows the obvious. It's bad for baseball. Aside from that... what can the Sox get for Moncada now? Escobar + Mauricio seems fair but most here would probably just take Escobar and the $29m savings in 2024 lol Moncada is a high ceiling gamble for the Mets and worth the gamble for a team looking for a deep playoff run

the astros cheated to win a world series... the worst the MLB will do to the Mets is fine them and take away a draft pick. It just sounds like he violated an unwritten rule. the Sox should see what they can get for Moncada if the deal falls through

I wouldn't be opposed to trading hendriks AND eloy for alvarez + baty then basically start a soft rebuild for 2024 mccann and escobar are garbage tho. would rather have gary sanchez and segura

did anyone even research this? After seeing how Deshaun Watson was handled I think he'll pitch again without much blow back. Wouldn't be surprised if he signs with the Cleveland to be their #2.

Great signing. A lot of people don't realize how shallow the LF talent pool is. Conforto/Profar will end up signing cheaper team friendly deals but I'd rather lock down a 28 y/o top 10 LF for 5 years at a 2WAR price.

Do the past 10 years and this is a completely different looking chart with rodon and anderson. But thats why he chose 2015 I guess

8M for a starting 2B that can play the corner OF in a pinch. this means JR gave the green light to sign Drury or Segura... right? lol

it'll take at least 4/60 to sign Benintendi since his contract estimate is 4/56 on fangraphs. Buying only his prime years for around 15M per is one of the best OF deals you can make this offseason. I can see the Yankees offering something like 5/80 tho. Conforto is a good plan B. He hasn't played LF since 2018 but he'll be better than Eloy. Profar as plan C and worst case the Sox sign Gallo. Anyone else and they're not taking 2023 seriously.

Hahn had to pay a $4M Sox tax just to have Clevinger sign early. I bet it would've taken at least $20M to get Thor since in LA it'll be easier to pad his stats for a potential huge contract next year. 29/30 GMs would take a 30 year old coming off tommy john vs a 32 coming off his second.

Based on some of the deals given out since this was first announced I'm coming around to liking this deal more and more. After watching some of this 2022 highlights its good price for a #5 and I look forward to rooting for him.

I'd rather trade lynn and hendricks then get creative with the extra 33m saved Both have generous club options and should also return average starter talent If done correctly hahn could fill 2 holes plus have around 60m+ to spend while only losing an aging #3 and closer best case with gio is you'll get around 2WAR in return but won't get any payroll relief

2 tommy johns and injury prone 32 year old. Surprised Haun couldn't find a better #5 solution in-house... The sad part is clevinger is probably now the #4 ahead of kopech. Still a massive hole at LF, yet Haun spends 1/4th the budget on a gamble lol. But nice of Haun to double this guys retirement fund I guess.

Colas better be the #1 option for RF... Hopefully the war room is now deciding on who gets the best offer between Benintendi, Conforto, Profar, Pederson for LF. But I can also see the Sox saving money by rolling out Cespedes/Eloy in LF for 2023.

So does letting a potential cy young pitcher walk for nothing eclipse the Tatis trade? Tatis turned out to be a $300m cheater while the Sox would've won the division with Rodon 🙃

Sox just got beat by a better team. Not much you could do.

looking at the schedule, cease is starting against the dians on Thurs... right? They have the next monday off so he'll get the normal 4 days rest for the Tues game against the dians. splitting velasquez/lopez/lambert or even calling up martin for the last place rockies on Wed seems like the smart play

maybe he shouldn't punched a wall then 🤷‍♀️

can we start the draft pick thread yet? currently #15, a top 10 is within reach considering the sox play elite teams like the twins(9) and guardians(4) 13 times

losing your #5 starter obviously hurts this late in the season but he'll be easily replaced with comparable performance in the rotation

of the 25 qualified SS with at least 350 AB, Andrus is ranked 19 overall, and Anderson is ranked 13 in fWAR. can't really complain about getting a 1.6 fWAR starter for free I guess

It was raining, was a drive, hit the top of the fence, plus his natural position is LF. Liam gave up 2 meatballs. It's his L

these players have to accept they're playing with post-covid bodies now they can't be going 90%+ and expect not to eventually get hurt. the trainers also play a role in explaining this to the players

kimbrel would've got the close :)

shouldn't confuse HGH replacement therapy and peptides for stimulating HGH production (GHRH). while both are banned they're two different ballgames... GHRH has near 0 side effects. but he's definitely going to be on BPC-157 during recovery. while thymosin beta 4 is banned in the mlb, bpc-157 is only WADA banned.

"should slide into the closer's role with the Dodgers" imagine giving the #1 ranked team a closer in exchange for an often injured 34 year old RF. 🤣 At the end the the day Kimbrel was poorly managed and misused
