I suspect Potts and Rosario will either be traded or released this year. Potts could hit a ton of bombs though too and suddenly be our starting left fielder for a month or two after injuries hit. It’s nice to have depth in our system The Red Sox have 1 40-man spot open and probably have to acquire at least a starting-level OF (i.e. Suzuki), at least one infielder if not two (at least need a bench IF, and probably would like a starting-level one instead or as well), and at least one solid reliever if not two. That's as many as 4 40-man spots they'd need to clear. I think it's pretty unlikely both Potts and Rosario will still be on the 40-man on opening day, but at the very least, I don't think comparing Santos (or anyone really) to the most likely DFA candidates on the 40-man right now, when the building of the MLB roster is clearly incomplete, is the analysis to be making. I would assume Mata and Paxton heading to the DL/IL list would open a couple spots on the 40-man. How quickly can they be moved to the DL when spring training starts so that Bloom can sign other players without more subtractions from the 40-man? |

I think it's basically the start of camp now, but that said, they are unlikely to do that with Mata. I'm sure they'd rather option him and save the service time, which is what they did last year. |

So there is 1 open spot and Paxton’s spot that can be used for FA signings. Any additional acquisition will need a corresponding move. Who do you think would get traded/DFAed if additional roster spots are needed. |

With the addition of Strahm and Diekman to the 40-man goes from 39 to 41. Do we know the corresponding move? When can Mata and Paxton be moved to DL or whatever? |

When can Mata and Paxton be moved to DL or whatever? 60-day IL starts at the beginning of spring training. But I wouldn't be surprised if Rosario/Potts are waived and assigned to the minors (assuming they clear waivers) before Mata goes to the 60-day. He major league clock starts ticking again once he hits the 60-day IL. |

First move will be Paxton to the 60.
They're unlikely to put Mata on the 60. I would DFA Potts, Rosario, Araúz, Valdez, and maybe even Davis and Sawamura first.

I was surprised Potts and Rosario were not DFAs in November in favor of other possible Rule 5 players, but maybe Bloom had insight into Rule 5 likelihood of being canceled, and that the Rule 5 players added would have been DFAed when Current FA signing were completed. |

As I've said few times, if they'd DFA'd guys in the fall to add Rule 5 guys, how would they have made room now for guys on the MLB roster? |

I think this might be the appropriate thread? Xander is now good to go in Toronto

The Matt Strahm signing is official, so the roster is back to 40 for the time being.

Diekman is official. Paxton to the 60-day IL.

So Story would probably mean Rosario is gone or Taylor to the 60 DL right?

Ny Post
“ DUNEDIN, Fla. – MLB and the Players Association have reached a tentative agreement to expand rosters from 26 to 28 players through May 1 to compensate in some way for a 3 1/2-week spring training, The Post has learned.”

Just to document why folks are talking about Rosario and Taylor but not Potts

So now you're telling me we have nothing left to show for trading MITCH MORELAND?? What a waste. /s
I hope Rosario sticks around. Players like him come around sometimes and we can use OF depth. Potts... long path to relevance now.

Potts... long path to relevance now. I honestly think both clear. Both had a huge drop in stock last season. |

Next: they convert him to relief, all part of their plan to pay us back for Whitlock |
