WestEddy Posted yesterday at 12:49 AM Share Posted yesterday at 12:49 AM I guess this move precludes the Red Sox from bugging Chris Getz to trade them Murakami all spring.

No more obvious proof that the Red Sox were probably the other finalist for Murakami’s services. That’s a good sign at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted yesterday at 07:37 AM Author Share Posted yesterday at 07:37 AM Yhoiker Fajardo, RHP Age: 19 The White Sox signed Fajardo for $400,000 out of Venezuela in 2024, then dealt him to the Red Sox for reliever Cam Booser prior to 2025. Fajardo broke out with the Red Sox this past season and ranked ninth in their system entering 2026. Fajardo throws a four-seam fastball, slider and changeup with above-average control. Fajardo’s fastball sits 93-95 mph with below-average ride, but it’s an average pitch because of his velocity and command. His mid-80s gyro slider misses bats with unusually low spin. Fajardo’s upper-80s changeup has good separation from his fastball with good whiff and chase rates in 2025. Fajardo has back-end starter upside. baseballamerica.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just noticed Fajardo was in the deal. Actually a pretty good return for STL rather than a pure salary dump. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted 16 hours ago Author Share Posted 16 hours ago Mets going all 2023/24 White Sox, excising almost all of their veteran leader core in terms of position players except for Lindor and Soto...who supposedly detest or even hate each other. Maybe it's Magglio CLee and Valentin out in 2004 for the Sox and restructuring around Lindor/Soto with young pitching and all that freed up $$$.

No 2027 lockout necessary. I agree it is not necessary, but the owners are going to do it anyway in a bizarre attempt for the nth time to try to get a salary cap. It will work out just like all the other times too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
