Definite adds: Bobby Dalbec, CJ Chatham, John Nunez, Eduard Bazardo, Not definite but more likely than not: Kyle Hart, Adam Lau Maybe: Marcus Wilson Unlikely but interesting: Josh Ockimey Longshots: Chad De La Guerra, Chris Owings, Tony Renda I'm updating my list; Definite: Chatham, Dalbec, Nunez Not definite but more likely than not: Wilson, Bazardo Maybe: Ockimey, Hart Longshots: De La Guerra, Diaz, Lau, Kent, Schwaab Unlikely: Everybody else Disappointed/surprised they didn’t add Nunez. I’m updating my guess again: At 34 now, I think they add 5. Chatham, Dalbec, Wilson, Bazardo & surprise surprise Aybar

Beginning in 2020, the roster size from Opening Day through Aug. 31 (and during the postseason) will increase from 25 to 26, with the minimum number of players on the roster increasing from 24 to 25, and roster sizes for doubleheaders increasing from 26 to 27.
How much will this play into roster decisions this off season financially?

Not sure if I've seen it discussed, but the following players received qualifying offers: Jake Odorizzi Marcell Ozuna Anthony Rendon Jose Abreu Josh Donaldson Madison Bumgarner Zack Wheeler Will Smith Stephen Strasburg Gerrit Cole Smith and Abreu have to be considering accepting, right? Possibly a few others too? Wheeler and Odorizzi just grabbing a one-year pillow and hitting FA in a year without a QO attached seems like a good idea. I think everyone should accept the offer except for; Cole Strasburg Rendon Donaldson

I think his trade value will be higher at the trade deadline then now.

So how do they now drop $20+M to get under $208 while keeping Mookie? I've thought a bit about this and I'm pretty sure they don't. You otherwise have to come up with some pretty farfetched plans like one that includes all of the following: 1) Pedroia's contract comes off books, 2) Trade JBJ, 3) Non-tender Leon + Hembree, 3) Add no more payroll I don't get the concern/worry about getting under $208 right now. They dont have to be under to start the season, it just has to add up to being under by the end of the season.

How surprising would it be if the Red Sox announce an extension with J.D. on Monday?

He's out of options, I seriously doubt he makes the team out of spring training or is serious competition to Johnson, Hernandez or Taylor. I think it's depth, not competition.

Josh Osich is blooms first acquisition. I like it lefty that throws Mid 90’s. Almost Averaged a strikeout an inning. An out of options 31 year old LHP who is currently at best a very slight tick better than; McGrath, Hart, Diaz, Kent & Aybar. All of whom could be added to the 40 man roster this year.

On the "List" page of " Minor league free agent eligibility " it reads that; players will be eligible for minor league free agency in November of the stated year unless they are added to the 40 man roster or are re- signed prior to that time.
Does that mean someone like Jhon Nunez & Daniel McGrath needs to be added to the roster today before midnight?

Yes, Johnson as the 5th starter along with others, maybe even as piggybacks or openers.
Leon could be non tendered and they go with Vazquez for 110 - 125 games with Centeno as the back up Catcher.
Bloom not making big moves this off season does not mean he is "staying put"

I think the Red Sox offseason is over before it even starts. I dont think the Sox will make any moves at all except to let all the free agents walk away. I dont think JD opts out. I dont think any trades are made. I think all the open spots on the 25 & 40 man roster will be filled from within the organization. It wouldn't surprise me if the season started with only 38 or 39 on the MLB Roster. The 2020 Season all rides on the health of Sale (Along with Price, Eovaldi & E. Rod.) but mostly Sale.

I don't think he opts out. Because if he did the Sox would attach a qualifying offer & Boras knows that teams dont want to give up the draft pick compensation. Especially for an aging defensively limited Outfielder who is best suited to only DH. If J.D. wants to opt out his best bet is to learn & play 1B for the Red Sox this coming season & opt out next year.

Chase Shugart from 23 to 31 is the biggest ranking miss ever by this site.
Any explanation?

Trading for a WR surprised me. I wonder if Gordon is about to be suspended again

That's right, if someone wants Mookie this off season.

From Bleacher Report discussing potential trade packages for Mookie, if contract talks do break down. Not sure if they're realistic packages, but I like the OF/P focus. bleacherreport.com/articles/2857873-top-trade-packages-landing-spots-for-mookie-bettsSan DiegoHunter Renfroe - OF Luis Patino - P (#30 MLB Prospect) Xavier Edwards - IF (#72 MLB Prospect) NY MetsSteven Matz - P Brandon Nimmo - OF Thomas Szapucki - P (AA) CincinnatiJesse Winker - OF Nick Lodolo - P (#56 MLB Prospect) Tony Santillian - P (AA) LA DodgersJoc Pederson - OF Dustin May - P (#32 MLB Prospect) Dennis Santana - P (AAA) AtlantaIan Anderson - P (#31 MLB Prospect) Ender Inciante - OF PhiladelphiaZach Eflin - P Alec Bohm - 1B/3B (#34 MLB Prospect) Francisco Morales - P (A) No way Mookie gets traded before the deadline unless Atlanta offers up Pache, Waters & Anderson straight up for Mookie. I don’t like any of these potential trade packages for Mookie & certainly not before the season starts.

Do the Red Sox really need to make the decision to get under the cap for 2020 this off season or can that decision wait until the trade deadline? If JD does not opt out why can’t they just let the free agents walk, go with the roster as is & see where they are come July? A 5th SP ( +6,7,8 ), Bullpen options, 1B, 2B, Utility Infielder & 4th OF all have to come from within the organization. Come July if they are not in contention they trade away the pieces to get under the cap by the end of the year, if they are in contention they go for it & worry about getting under the cap another day.

All indications are that J D is opting out and pretty much a goner, which is okay with me. I will miss the bat but in the grand scheme of things his money is needed elsewhere. My question is why not just trade him before his opt out date to save the six million that will count against the cbt if he does opt out. A trade to the white Sox for a lottery ticket would make sense for all parties involved. This offseason will be painful because the Sox are gonna lose and trade a few good players which is a necessary step for the long term success of the franchise. The new GM has to be spot on in his first offseason. It will be a super interesting and very important few months. I’m hoping for a 10/300 Mookie extension that tops my wish list What indications?

Trade JBJ for starting pitching depth, or a controllable bullpen piece soon thereafter (or) sign a bullpen piece or two. I'm not afraid to give up a little more to get a little more back.
Unrealistic, you're overeating his value

Dombrowski out
Great News
Dombrowski is not the person to construct the team for the long term. He did his job, signed Price, traded for Kimbrel & Sale & signed JD. Won the World Series.
Then he extended Sale. I think Ownership realized he was headed down the wrong path. This is the right move. I applaud Ownerships bold & direct decision.
