I'm watching for if Heath Hembree gets non tendered or not. He made one appearance after the PRP injection last year. I think the Sox keep him, but it's no sure thing in my eyes. I’ve been watching the Marlins & Adam Conley

Why is Ryan Weber still on the roster? He’s out of options. At least Kelly still had 2 options

Interesting on Bradley. I honestly came around on the idea of non-tender, and I think they'll have a hard time trading him for value at $11m. Unless someone thinks they can soften the offensive valleys. You never know. It's possible with many teams out there needing CFs that somebody will give the Red Sox something of decent value, like a back-end starter who can yoyo up and down if need be.The Diamondbacks would be a prime candidate given who is in their front office and the fact that they have a surplus of guys that would fit the description of back-end starters with options. Somebody like a Taylor Clarke perhaps? I think I read they'd like to move Marte out of CF and back into the infield. I wonder how the Sox plan on replacing JBJ if that's the case. Duran isn't ready. Rusney? No way, obviously. They'd be most likely to get a corner OF who would shift Betts to CF - if they don't trade him. Somebody cheaper than JBJ, but perhaps could provide more offense and would be a downgrade on defense. Like David Peterson of the Mets

so you think JBJ will be in CF with Mookie in RF next season?They could probably can replace JBJ with someone almost as good even better for less money if they get creative. And that would not preclude them from going for it one more season. But trading Mookie is an absolute guarantee that they would be significantly reducing their chance at winning in 2020. And if they're doing that, they may as well trade everyone they can. There was a fangraphs article a month ago that pegged the Red Sox at 95 wins next year without trading Mookie. I think they will

With tonight’s 8pm ET deadline to tender contracts to arbitration-eligible players looming, will the Red Sox agree to one-year contracts for the 2020 season with anybody today? Leon? Will there be any non tendered surprises? Hembree? Trades? JBJ?

You want to trade six years of Chavis for one year of Villar? A suspect for a proven MLB Player that they can extend, yes

David Price for Drew Waters That would be great! Unfortunately, the only way we move Price is for a bad contact coming back or to eat a big chunk of his salary. If we’re able to deal Price, and get any kind of return, I think San Diego is the best landing spot while taking back Hosmer or Myers. I don’t believe that at all.

On the 40 man roster page J.D. Martinez is listed as having an opt out after the 2021 season. I thought it was the after the 2020 season? Both I thought when he signed he had 2 opt outs. After 2019 & after 2020. Your saying he has 3 opt outs?

Starting Pitcher David Price & his remaining 3 years $96m to Philadelphia for Shortstop Jean Segura & his remaining 3 years $46m & Catcher Deivy Grullon. Segura plays 2B & Grullon becomes the backup Catcher. Or you flip Segura to a SS needing team (Reds, Brewers) for Pitching. So who is starting beyond Sale, Rodriguez & Eovaldi? Yea, that’s an issue for sure. Plus I’m not a believer in Sales health. Openers, like they did in Tampa? Like you I would prefer they keep the roster in place. They don’t have to be under the cap to start the season. If they are out of it at the trade deadline then make some trades & get under. If they are in it, screw the cap & go for it. I’m just putting that trade out there because of all the talk of having to get under the cap.

He’s not listed (and it was an extension) so I didn’t vote but for me I believe it will end up being Chis Sale, time will tell.

I think it’s cheaper to trade for Price & sign DiDi to play SS then It is to keep Segura & sign Cole or Strasburg. It's not that much cheaper, at least not annually. The offset between Price and Segura and then having to sign Didi to replace Segura isn't that much cheaper than if they sign Cole or Strasburg and simply keep Segura.And from a quality standpoint who'd you rather have? Cole/Strasburg and Segura or Price and Didi? No brainer, you take the former. Price & Didi should be around $140m total & each for only 3 years Cole & Segura $300m+ depending on Cole’s years (8?) Strasburg & Segura $225m+ depending on Strasburg’s years (6?)

That's not a terrible idea, but why would the Phillies trade their starting short stop? The Phillies would be side stepping there.

Here's how BA project their lineup in 2023, with their 2023 age in parentheses. Catcher: Christian Vazquez (32) First Base: Triston Casas (23) Second Base: Michael Chavis (27) Third Base: Rafael Devers (26) Shortstop: Xander Bogaerts (30) Left Field: Andrew Benintendi (28) Center Field: Jarren Duran (26) Right Field: Mookie Betts (30) Designated Hitter: Bobby Dalbec (28) No. 1 Starter: Chris Sale (34) No. 2 Starter: Eduardo Rodriguez (30) No. 3 Starter: Bryan Mata (24) No. 4 Starter: Thad Ward (26) No. 5 Starter: Jay Groome (24) Closer: Darwinzon Hernandez (26) That would be awesome!

The Braves have signed closer Will Smith to a three-year contract, the team announced. The three guaranteed years will pay Smith $39MM, and Atlanta has a $13MM club option for 2023. That option contains a $1MM buyout, as per The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal
