Squirmin' for Yermin

Did his D get better? His dWAR seems to have been relatively favorable last year.

He's absolutely a guy I'd take back.. Just obviously his value has taken a major hit

AAAA player barf.

This is absolutely where I am at. 1 year ago the majority of this board wanted nothing to do with Benintendi when the Red Sox were trying to move him. Conforto - Bellinger - Benintendi

Yes.

Yes, he makes sense if we miss out on the other outfielders.

Haven’t lots of what the skeptics were saying been proven right at this point?

Can we get the official contract terms yet? Thanks.

agreed.

I wonder if Kelenic could be had for one of our relievers. Via trade value analyzer (estimating obviously), you could get him for many different combinations. Lopez straight up, or Graveman + (frees up money) would do it. I think you'd have to do either of those and I'm sure Seattle is looking for BP. Doubt they'd give up on Kelenic for one of those guys yet though, though I believe he's as good as gone this offseason. Fun idea.

He seems like a last minute patch plan. I want no part of another DH in the OF.

I would take the over on many of the offensive players.. seems ultra conservative.

Unrelated but my goodness this Herb guy on the Sox Podcast is the absolutely worst... lol

He's gunna go to the Astros and resume his strong pre-2021 play. I can feel it now.

We don't know yet.. Which is strange. An option year would be amazing, however a 1/12 is still really good to me.

If you can't dump Grandal then you do nothing. Maybe sign some AAA depth piece. But Grandal, Zavala and Perez should be league average.

I always worry most about 2 random starts.

Give me Clevinger over either of those guys any day

Short arm saved his career. He was dog s%*# before that. 2019 was short arm

Anti Covid vaccine is baggage?

Eh. Idk how much “starter” pitching hand balances make a difference. I believe more so, stuff balances matter

Just to entertain this idea.. Maeda would make a ton of sense as our “swing man”. Similar role to what he had with the Dodgers

Saying “guaranteed” makes me think we’ve got an option on this for year 2. $8 mil would be amazing

Clevinger is my favorite FA starter. In our price range and will have a higher ceiling than the others in that same range. I’d be really happy with $8-12 with an option

I don’t even think this is bad loll
