Wouldn't have minded getting Taylor instead of Duvall. Twins didn't give up much, just a couple high minors relievers that nobody wanted in the Rule 5 draft a couple months ago. Meh — I’d have to squeeze numbers, but I have a hard time seeing Taylor even coming remotely close to the offensive output Duvall could possibly put up.

If you don't get your asking price for something as rare as an MLB franchise, by all means put out a presser saying yer happy to stand pat... it only takes one of the erstwhile bidders to step up and raise the bar. Two and you've got yerself a bidding war.

I don’t think you can put out that statement and then sell the team this offseason.

Interest rates have to be killing the valuations too, there's only so many Steve Cohen's out there who are willing to buy a team at all costs.

I think this is apples to oranges with Bauer. There was a lot of he said she said stuff back and forth on that issue. It's part of the reason why Bauer is blackballed, but he's also pretty well known as a dick. This is different. This involves his significant other and a child, which I'm pretty sure that amplifies the issue further. It sucks that people still feel the need to do this reprehensible and heinous shit.

Worked with him in the cape league. He was pretty laid back and easy going back then. A lot can change in a decade+! Those are disgusting allegations and if he’s guilty of them he doesn’t deserve to have a big league career. Glad we didn’t sign him

Jeffrey Springs signs $31 million extension.
Springs was 3 fWAR last year. It is interesting how his name never comes up in discussions of these last few years. Mighta been a keeper.

Value wise maybe one of Bloom’s worst trades. But I am glad I don’t have to try to root for Springs who has some personal beliefs that I really don’t agree with (basically the same as Dermody).

In retrospect i'm not sure why they did give up on him. At the time he just seemed an indifferent component in the slurry of terrible pitching in 2020 and I for one certainly didn't predict he'd turn into anything, but they must have picked him up for a reason and then he put up 12.3 Ks and 3.1 BB per 9 in 20 IP. And then they... turned around and traded him for Ronaldo Hernandez.
I guess part of the answer might have just been they were fairly high on Hernandez, but yeah, certainly looks like a bad trade now (and it does surprise me a little that the usual critics don't even bring this one up).

Hernaiz had a strong year as a 20 year old SS in A-Ball last year. He'd probably make the Red Sox top 10. Irvin is a back of the rotation soft tossing lefty with 4 years of control left. Seems pretty fair.

O’s acquire Cole Irvin from the A’s Old friend Darwinzon DFA’d I won't pretend to know anything about the prospects the O's shipped out. Irvin seems like he's not a bad pitcher and should help the O's on some level but still kind of meh on it. His numbers at home in that big ballpark in Oakland are good, his numbers on the road are bad. If he's more in line with this road numbers then he perhaps won't be very helpful for the O's. 3.07 ERA in 105.2 IP at home, 5.26 ERA in 75.1 IP on the road in 2022.

Rays extend Pete Fairbanks for 3/12 to cover his arb years and then they get a $7 million club option on his first FA year. That's around what he'd likely get in arb, so Rays basically trade the ability to nontender him if he has a bad injury in exchange for the $7 million option. Meh.

Josh Harrison goes to Phillies for $2 million
Was kinda expecting the Sox to get him for about that much

Didn’t really want Harrison, wouldn’t have minded adding Perez to the RHH/backup catcher competition. Can’t argue with 2 gold gloves

Fine with the Sox not getting Harrison or Perez.
I'd rather see the Sox sign Iglesias.
And I think the Sox need to find out what they have with Wong. They have Alfaro on standby. I think they didn't need Perez.
