WestEddy Posted Friday at 10:24 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 10:24 PM Heyman says that Cardinals and Mets are also interested in Griffin Canning. Paywall. No link. New York Post. I'd imagine the Sox would look elsewhere. They don't seem to like to be in a crowd when they're pursuing a player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Ward was a bit younger, he’d be a nice target. Solid minor league numbers but the dude is turning 28 next month and hasn’t made the majors.

Could immediately get at-bats in LF or RF here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestEddy Posted yesterday at 07:52 PM Author Share Posted yesterday at 07:52 PM 1 hour ago, ChiSoxFanMike said: Either of these guys could be interesting for the Sox. sounds like FanGraphs thinks Ward is a platoon AAAA bat. I can't find anything substantial on Bobby Miller. Los Angeles Dodgers Top 52 Prospects | FanGraphs Baseball 21. Ryan Ward, LF Drafted: 8th Round, 2019 from Bryant University (LAD) Age 27.8 Height 5′ 11″ Weight 200 Bat / Thr L / R FV 40 Tool Grades (Present/Future) Hit Raw Power Game Power Run Fielding Throw 40/40 55/55 50/50 45/45 50/50 30 Ward is the Crash Davis of our times. He’s spent the last three years marinating at Triple-A, where he comfortably set the Oklahoma City Comets franchise home run record and became an annual presence on the target lists of scouts with PCL coverage. Buried on the Dodgers depth chart, he probably would have debuted for a couple dozen other clubs by this point, and who knows how agonizingly close he’s been to a ring-netting cup of coffee with Los Angeles. Power is Ward’s best skill, and he’s able to bring plenty of his above-average raw into games. While he uses the entire field, he’s also gotten better at identifying which pitches he can turn on and drive. Befitting a power bat off the bench, he swings a fair bit, but he’s not recklessly aggressive either. He’s average in a corner and has played a little first base, so there’s a bit of defensive versatility here. The quality of his at-bats declines considerably against lefties: He doesn’t see their spin well, and ideally would never face them. He’s on the Quad-A/platoon buffer, and for his sake, we’re hoping 2026 brings more clarity about which side of the line he belongs on.

If they plan on making Newcomb a starter, they still need a lefty reliever. Might as well give this guy an audition in spring training. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About time the started adding some NRI deals. I'd guess Newcomb is a SP, so there's Borucki, Hudson, Gilbert, Eisert, & Murphy in competition for 2/3 spots for lefty relievers.
