Even more impressive is his popup rate. 16% for his career, 22.2% this year. Probably would be a significant cost though because he has 3 years left I think. Looks like he was a super 2.

Don’t know a lot about this guy, but I do like the thought of having a weapon late in the game against some of these right-handers the Red Sox might face in October (Judge, Stanton, Sanchez, Altuve, Correa, Springer, Bregman).

I am interested in what the Reds have in the pen. They haven't moved anyone.

At this point you got to go for it after today's Yankee game. What if i told you we could win the World Series but the catch is we got to win a 7 game war with the Astros.

I’d trade Devers for Realmuto and Swihart and Mata and any other minor league for whichever you can get of Euginio Suarez or Brian Anderson.

He also is a free agent three full seasons before Devers, is six years older, and doesn’t have the ceiling of Devers. I don’t dispute that Realmuto is a stud, but Devers is going to be in another tier. Plus, I wouldn’t discount the effect that Sandy Leon has on the pitching staff. Realmuto is a better catcher, but Leon works incredibly well with our staff. Trading for a Realmuto means less games for Leon. Personally, I’d rather have Leon and Devers than Realmuto.

I like Kela but he's cost controlled for another couple of seasons meaning the Sox would have to use prospects a lot of us would rather they not.
I want the relief help but would prefer a rental. This search for the under the radar guys like Kela makes me wonder if staying under the 237.8 million figure or whatever it is is something they're still trying to do.
On one hand you have Sam Kennedy saying they're willing to go over, and Dombrowski is non-committal yet he made sure to get money back in his deal for Pearce and he has the cheap solution of Brandon Phillips for 2b as opposed to spending money on Dozier or Kinsler. And Eovaldi was basically paid with that money they got back from Toronton in the Pearce deal, so a guy like Kela doesn't make much. I wonder if that's Dombrowski's plan - stay under the threshold.
I honestly don't know if he's over or not but he's almost acting like he is still under with a chance to stay under.

Honestly, I think the Red Sox might be done already for trade season. MAYBE they sneak 1 more very average piece over, but with the horrific state of Boston's prospect pipeline right now I can't see them having enough to entice any team to move a good player this year.

The premise was beating the Astros in 7 and getting to the WS. Maximize your strengths, address your weaknesses. They may not have a chance like 2018/19 year for several years to come.

This team has a two-year window then a cliff.

I had no idea that they were even planning on putting him in the majors directly.

Devers is likely going on the DL says Cora. So I guess we really need an infielder now.
