Agreed on having little interest in the deal, but in 2016 and 2017 he did pitch a lot in AAA and the Rays were building his innings nicely.
16: 152 17: 173 18: 181 19: 107 (broken toe, loose bodies in elbow) 20: 50

Ha-Seong Kim bidding war starts tommorow. How long is it expected to take? He has 30 days to strike a deal. He can talk to every team. Could take 1 day or 30.

Because it pretty much goes against everything said by the coaches and and also reports attributed to Red Sox management this past summer. I'm not even sure what you're referring to here, but I'd bet heavily that Speier has unparalleled information on the state of the Sox system right now knowing how good he is at his job.

What about the market on both Robbie Ray and Taijuan Walker this offseason? Both of those guys been favorites of mine for a long time. I get that the rotation in general is a question mark from top to bottom, but isn't this entire team a question mark? Take Ray for example. 1 and a half poor seasons. Velocity maintained, will still be only 30 next year. Can he be that expensive? Walker may be kind of a different animal after showing he's healthy again following TJ, but someone always liked with Seattle and if the team throws any serious FA money around? I hope it's his way. Probably both in that big 3rd tier of guys that all have issues, right? Walkers ERA was great but it was a low BABIP, high LOB%, and some really ugly peripherals across the board. I don't know how you can sign Ray and say you are counting on him at this point. It'll be interesting when the national guys publish their free agent lists with money guesses because I have no freaking clue how they are going to do that this year.

Now that Daniel Bard won comeback player of the year, I wonder if he should be high on the list of Sox targets. He seemed to be really wanting to comeback after all these years to Fenway he's talked about recently and getting emotional about it. His stuff is back too. He's nasty again. Rockies have him for 2 or 3 more years of arbitration.

Fenway has been leak proof lately. Bloom search was stealth as well. I assume we will hear of interview shortly though.

It's not just his sprint speed that is Benny's issue, his jumps have been in the bottom 30th percentile, his arm is awful, it would just create another team weakness, especially if you're trying to hide a bad outfielder in LF. Sox clearly know this, he went from 27 starts to 19 to 6 and 0 in his abbreviated stint this year.

Ozuna can’t be offered a QO. He’s definitely a guy I’d be interested in. Swing was made for Fenway. He would be nice, but he is almost unplayable in the field. JD is clearly sticking around. Can't move Benintendi to CF. Not an easy puzzle piece. The fact that you obviously don't want to sell low on Benintendi, but his bat has collapsed and can't play CF anymore is suuuuch an annoying factor this winter.

People are so desperate to grab on to something that the overreaction to Munoz is actually insane.

I think they go for 1 mid-rotation guy like Kevin Gausman, Garrett Richards, Jake Odorizzi, maybe buying low on Mike Minor.. if they don't trade for one. They will certainly sign 1 or 2 depth starters and probably some interesting but not elite bullpen arms. I think they will be in on Springer and Realmuto to see where those markets end up, if they reasonable I think they are in, if not I think they would be fine with JBJ/Vaz again. Probably need a 2B for a year while we wait on Downs, maybe Cesar Hernandez?
I'm guessing this exercise will be moot and there will be non-tenders and salary dumping around the league that the Sox will take advantage of rather than being big free agent players. Goign to be a wild November and December.

Verdugo's career: 649 PA, 4.8 WAR.
Lindor averages 5.3 WAR per 649 PA.
Lindor's 7.8 in 2018 is probably better than a Verdugo peak, but giving him up for 1 year of Lindor and a "signing promise" is insane.
See if Lindor will take your money when Betts wouldn't.

Quantrill is the 5th piece in that trade and Cleveland still got fleeced.

Good look at how Casas changes his 2-strike approach. [or more accurately how he changed his approach before 2-strikes]

Red Sox Payroll on twitter has us at $8.99 M under. That should give some room to take on a higher salary if an opportunity comes up as well as pay down everyone out the door to increase packages. That is how much we are under based on prorated salaries and he has Price completely off the books, which we don't know.
