I recognize that nothing I post is likely to change anyone's mind about something they feel strongly about for whatever reason, whether it's politics, religion or anything else but I'm going to post it anyway: My money's on Niko Goodrum to make the biggest impact of any of the MLFAs. I can't shake the image of him dashing home with the winning run in a big game. In all seriousness, I think Goodrum is getting underrated as a great MiFA pick up because they grabbed him early. Good depth to have. A hope I have for this season is that they have the least amount of negative WAR contributions that they’ve gotten in a long time.

Goodrum was a legitimately decent player for a couple years. If he bounces back he’ll be a good add

With all the uncertainty (and fragility) up the middle, he should at least get his chance.

I think the board has a good read on the FO's strategy at this point. It's all about flexibility and redundancy - having an abundance of options with good depth at as many positions as possible. Goodrun is one more piece. They will not all pan out, but they don't all need to.

Dollars under the cap is also depth during the season.

Appears that Jacinto Arredondo retired.

Looks like the Red Sox signed Joe Jones to a minor league deal. Link

wonder if Price would sign a minor league deal.

wonder if Price would sign a minor league deal. He'd have to get permission from his dog first...

wonder if Price would sign a minor league deal. Unless he's a full blown sadist, I can't see why he's ever want to have to deal with Boston and their fans ever again. Especially when it's not for $30m/yr

I believe Price has already flat out said he doesn’t want to pitch this year. If I were him, I’d probably be on a yacht somewhere laughing at the idea of even sniffing a minor league deal.

Especially when it's not for $30m/yr David Price’s lifetime earnings are estimated at $248,000,000. If he can find a meaningful way to spend his time, he should never ‘work’ again! I would have no problem finding things to do…..

I think Franmil Reyes would be a smart sign as a MLFA. This team could use some DH/1B depth starting a rookie 1B, an old DH, and with Dalbec looking like he has so far in his career.

I think he hit Xander with a pitch in 2018 that injured him IIRC. I'd guess/hope he's way down on the depth chart.

Looking at his career track over the last few years, he’s not even a lock to make it out of spring training. But it’s a worthwhile arm to bring into the mix on the off chance he can regain the form he had early on with the Rays. Can’t hurt.

Right now there are 19 pitchers listed on the Worcester 2023 projected roster. I would not be surprised if Faria is one of the guys who are let go after spring training…..but maybe the coaches can fix him and make him productive.

Sox signed this 30 year old lefty today. Not many southpaws (way back machine) throw 100 MPH. Cool name too.
