Brewers in 5

I think just getting him off a terrible Mets team was huge. Their defense was awful

Not sure it’s one I want the Sox paying. Plenty of free agents. Go spend

Yeah if he was hurt, it at least explains why he was throwing up meatballs and gives me hope that if he can get healthy, he can improve. Still don't really like the move though.

Selling low = netting a top of the rotation arm? Edit: I don't think you get that great of an arm dealing both right now personally. If you could get a TOR with 3+ years of control, do it.

The Yankees also won 2 over the Red Sox. What is happening here.

Go Brewers!!!

Last couple of years, it's been my car keys. I feel like I have gotten careless with them since cars have become "push to start"

Right. And as of right now, Vargas is my 1B after next year, barring a Mune extension. Heck, they can even split 1B/DH duties if he is extended since Benintendi will be gone.

I guess what he meant was: take on an expiring contract along with something interesting. At least that's what I thought he meant by tanking teams. But then teams could also just sign guys to high AAV 1-2 year deals and try to flip them later.

So now you're on the side of them missing out on games? Serious negotiations not starting in March means games will be lost.

Been beating the King drum for a while. Not a lot of innings on that arm either. And 31 so not like he’s going to sign a crazy like 7+ year deal. Also was previously offered QO so can’t be offered again.

He's 31. I think whoever gets King adds a 5th year.

I agree with this and never got around to responding to you asking what I would do with them and Noah. I think both those guys are in the pen and Hagen sees a Taylor type role he had earlier in the year when he opened/came in later for multiple innings. Schultz starts the year in Charlotte and is first man up when there is an injury (which could honestly be during Spring Training).

Never said they wouldn't add payroll just not someone like Skubal, Michael King, Sonny Gray (hard to see him walking away from the money he's making), etc. I'd expect them to be a tier or two lower.

Cheap due to all the above is one that was missed.

Feels like the kind of guy who would we be in the usually Sox shopping bin. Also, he was already offered the QO prior so he can't be offered one.

Yeah I get that people want to be hopeful but I'm going to assume they are going to continue operating the way they have under Jerry. Ishbia doesn't own the team yet and I doubt he's fronting much money until he does. His focus now is on the new stadium.

Another name to look at post Mets trade is David Peterson. Had an ERA of 6 and then a was good SP for Cubs. Having any semblance of a defense helps a lot. Edit: might actually be a lowkey good name to look at

I'd add Freddy Peralta back to the list of guys I would want. File his first half struggles to "General Mets Usual Shittiness"

Problem is, so are other teams

By a landslide

Still pisses me off that they never offered him the QO but picked up Kimbrel's option after the 2021 season.

Abreu for production alone as top choice. It’s not close

Agreed. Thankfully there are enough OF options where he can just focus on being an infielder again
