Bob Sacamano

Yeah I'm not really a fan of this move. For what we would have to trade, I'd rather trade for more certainty but that doesn't seem likely. Or just sign Richards or Paxton for one year.

Yeah it sounds like they are trying to sign him as an outfielder/fill-in infielder. I would think a starting middle infield role would be something he would really want. And he can be Anderson's backup at SS.

If they pull this deal off and Madrigal is a part of it, I hope they sign Profar for 2B. Hard to believe that guy is only 27.

The article (or Tweet...can't remember) I saw about the Mets pursuit of Springer said without uncertainty of the DH, they couldn't figure out a way to play Springer, Conforto, Nimmo, Smith, and Alonso every day. Maybe they could use money they could have used on Springer on Bauer?

Lips are locked. Throw away the key?

At the potential cost, I am not that excited.

Lament is also in the rotation. By the time Gore is ready, someone can be out with injury or one of the younger guys can be pitching poorly so that might be an option as well. Still relievers out there they could sign.

He's still penciled into the rotation right now.

Well that would at least place Moose back at his position that makes sense.

Maybe I'm thinking of his 2018 then.

Not if a guy actually wants to play every day.

He did opt-out of the 2020 season if that is what you are asking.

He's been bad and unhealthy the past couple of years. They're definitely not getting much. I think they hold onto him and try to move him mid-season (maybe even as May if he's playing well) to not have to pay the full salary.

Latest update on him said he's looking for 1 year/$15 mill.

Lol I guess I never saw your post.

I'm kind of shocked no one has mentioned Leake until now.

If Q was the only pitching addition, we should be upset (as many said at the beginning of the offseason). However, don't forget they added one of the best over the past couple of years in Lynn. Q in the back of the rotation is fine.

How do you get that though without trading Kopech, Vaughn, Crochet? The Sox don't have as deep of a system to make those quantity or quality deals.

Yeah I'm starting to think it will be Quintana. But if Bauer gets real what exactly? Real about a one year deal?

Seriously, what is this guy's market? Who's after him?

If it's from Hector Gomez, then it's Nelson Cruz anywhere but the Sox, confirmed.

I think it was me haha but it's all good. No need to apologize. I think he was considering Japan, but I don't think it was ever Yankees or Japan.

He's apparently looking for 1/$15 mill. If that backend starter is looking for $10 mill, I'd rather they just spent a little extra money on Tanaka.

Worse than throwing Lopez out there every 5 days?

What's a reasonable offer for Taijuan Walker?
