Bob Sacamano

Who? Reds?

Outfield prospect Mike Sirota the return for LA. And also, Cincinnati's Competitive Balance pick. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/01/reds-finalizing-gavin-lux-trade.html Edit: Dodgers drafted him back in 2021 but didn't sign.

Someone check on Harold.

He literally starts the paragraph with “I seriously doubt the Sox have the stones” so no, he’s not serious.

No he wasn’t. They traded him to make room on the 40-man.

That would be booting 3 draft picks.

Yeah, the best case scenario is Robert plays like he did in 2023 and gets traded for a haul, and those other guys are at least tradable.

Nope. But would look more interesting.

Congrats

Looks like he has struggled on offense recently. How’s his defense?

Maybe he would want a one year deal or multi-year deal with an opt out after year 1.

3 years, $12.5M actually.

He's a Dodger

Yeah they should do this. As for the 40-Man roster, bump off some of those around 30 or older relievers like the guys you mentioned. Even Varland or Justin Anderson as well. Have as many younger, upside guys as possible instead.

Yeah.

No shortage of rotation, long relief options.

Yeah I guess it's possible Baldwin is back at Charlotte to open the year, but then you need a placeholder at SS (unless Colson makes the team). Rojas isn't that guy.

They can already do that with the guys they have. Baldwin can cover SS with Amaya as the backup (also DFA'd for Colson when he comes up). Edit: Rojas also hasn't played SS since 2021 and was negative there.

He's gotta be starting here. If he wanted to be a bench player, he would go to a competitive team.

I was kind of hoping they would be in on that Hyeseong Kim (who’s posting period is up tomorrow) but this would seem to effectively end that.

Ramos - AAA, Sosa I feel like makes the team as the 2B (unless Meidroth just flat out beats him out for the OD spot). No idea on Vargas.

Light-hitting 3B. Good glove though.

Yeah not yet. Some were just out of need.

Right. Assuming no injury, I don’t want to see these guys until 2026.

Going to be a rough few years
