Alek Thomas for Crochet, Bryan Ramos, and Christian Mena. Who says no?

I hate it here. This was tweeted 2 hours before he said it. ??

Gallo for $10M would be a very worthwhile flier.

They will trade him in July in Atlanta or something.

Nah. I got nothing to report.

I for one am happy the Guardians chose to spend $16M of their limited payroll on Josh Bell. He's not that much better than Gavin Sheets. Meh.

Yea, he's wanted us to think he knows far more than he's demonstrated that he actually knew. Not sure why people pay attention to what he says.

Yup. Good info from Robert Murray.

On the Fansided podcast

It may have already been mentioned, but Robert Murray said something about the Clevinger deal not being a straight 1yr/$12M deal. That there is a 2nd year option and with the buyout it will reach $12M. Mentioned something about creatively shifting the money around. So maybe since the first report we heard was "more than $8M" it could end up being something like 1 yr/$8.5M with a 2nd year option for "xxx" amount or a $4M buyout. We might end up with a few extra million for 2023 to work up to Jerry's self-imposed budget.

I absolutely hate the way the fidgety way this guy acts on the mound. Reminds me of Karinchak. Also is very close with Trevor Bauer. From a baseball standpoint he seems like a reasonable #4 or #5 option for us, with upside if Katz can fix him, but I'm not going to enjoy rooting for him. ?

Picking up my Model Y on Thursday. ? Just sold my 2019 Model 3 today with 32,000 miles for $50K. 100% is pretty great resale value to me. Told myself that it I could get $50K for it that I would upgrade to the Enhanced Auto Pilot package. If I had to sell it to Carvana/Vroom/Driveway that I would wait on it. Well, since I got the full $50K today, ya boy is getting those little extra convenience features. Hopefully my wife and I can get pregnant soon and make use out of this extra room.

No, he was not a PTBNL. And Boston gets to choose if they want a player from the agreed upon list, or cash instead.

Kolton Wong. ?

Did he change his username at some point?

People sometimes randomly acquire sources. I had a source for a couple of years and had good scoops on various things, and then my source went away. I have no idea who Pal is, literally never seen the username here before this thread, but I wouldn't judge him or her solely based on them not having a reliable source 18 months ago.

I'm sorry you're having a hard time following. ?

I disagree, but ok, I guess.

I get you don't like how the money has been spent this offseason, I don't think any of us do, but that doesn't change the fact that the Sox have NOT spent $4.2M on Cueto. If he earns the entire $4.2M (he won't), then that either means he has pitched really well or we desperately needed him to stick around, in either case, that sounds like he would be worth it at that point. The rest of the money spent poorly is irrelevant to this contract.

That's how I read it based on Passan's tweet. Maybe that's inaccurate, but the fact that it's a minor league deal already tells us none of the money is guaranteed. Also he has an opt out for May 15th if the Sox haven't called him up by then.

As far as I can tell, prorated based in days with the team. If he's with the team for half the season, he gets half the $4.2M. If he's there for only 10% of the season, he only gets 10% of the money ($420,000).

Cueto's deal is prorated based on how long much he pitches for the Sox ie, none of it is guaranteed.

No doubt. I still give it a C grade overall. I'm just saying given where we were at a week ago with what was realistically available, he did a great job at the buzzer.

The last 2 moves have been so minor, yet so desperately needed for this team. Combine that with the Pollock move and Hahn really did a great job buttoning this team up at the end of the Spring.

I expect Ketel Marte to eventually join the Sox in about 4 years. ??
