Per Alex Speier tweet. Casas is in Boston for a non baseball related medical issue. Hopefully its something minor. Wish him the best Knocking on wood, but Speier’s tweet also said that he’s expected to return to Fort Myers for baseball activities soon. Until I hear otherwise, he is getting his wisdom teeth out.

Kind of incredible that Tatis has played less than a full season's worth of games and already has more career WAR than his dad, who was a solid player who played over a decade.

My favorite argument on here is Cordero is only 26 he might just not have hit his potential yet. Then at the same time saying benny at 26 is cooked. In a down year he had a 1.8 war cordero's career war is .3, they are the same age. But bloom has never made a bad move in his life so never question anything. On the flip side, we have people complaining that they gave up on Benintendi too soon, but Cordero is a nobody since he hasn't established himself yet.

One note on Franchy's defense: he was signed out of DR as a SS, and played there throughout the low minors. When he got to the majors he had only been playing the OF for about 2 years. I would imagine he was in a similar position as Duran is currently, waiting for the experience to catch up to the skills.

You do know the Dodgers GM is the former Rays GM right? That Bloom worked under him for like a decade? I think you should go look into the Dodgers moves and how they do things. You literally just cited what is an outlier type move for the Dodgers. It is a massive outlier. When the Rays win a WS, I’ll listen to modeling after them. It reminds me of the Billy Beane fad... awesome! We can win the AL West on repeat and never win the World Series! Get me Brad Pitt on the phone! Maybe the Rays should model themselves on Dombrowski. Whatever the mess he might have left, a team that’s oh-fer history might take that to do what he’s done. The Rays are the George McClellan of baseball, sitting on the Potomac and saying tomorrow might be a better day to fight. You mean the model Theo Epstein used to build the Red Sox in the mid 2000s?

Isn't the team's lack of Logan Allens exactly the issue that caused last year to be the mess it was?

Hey, I feel bad for him, but if he’s 30 and needs more work, he’s not a great bet. It’d be great if he contributes and a nice story. I was kind of kidding, but I’d be curious to see how many really late bloomers (30+) end up being important contributors in general. RP is definitely the position you see it most. Guys really just need to develop 1-2 MLB quality pitches to scratch out a career.

Its funny that some are expressing disappointment in missing out on Arihara, after panning the Andriese deal. Its not hard to envision a future where Andriese winds up the better signing.

I have a feeling Xander would opt out if the Red Sox don't commit to him as a SS. Isn't that the kind of thing a lot of us hammered Jeter for? For not moving to 3b instead of A-Rod when it would have been best for the team? You could be right that he might opt out if the Sox opt to move him to 3b, but then again, it's hard to see another team paying him more than $20 million/year not to be a SS and it can't just be the Red Sox who can see that his range isn't that great and isn't likely to get better at he nears his 30th birthday? He could find the same issue with any other team interested in him, right? I mean, who gives Xander a five year deal worth more money and thinks he's going to stick at SS? It can happen. It only takes one team, but at some point, he's going to wind up doing what a lot of SS do. For the Sox, it happened with John Valentin moving to 3b to make way for Nomar (originally it was 2b but Tim Naehring got hurt again). It happened with Rico Petrocelli and Vern Stephens a couple of decades before him. It's quite common for SS to move to 3b eventually. I hope it's not a trigger point with X. Hopefully they can be proactive and convince him to stay if they plan on moving him off of SS. Right, and Jeter is his idol. He also didn't exactly take to 3B when he was a rookie, I feel like he'll be more stubborn about it as an established All-Star SS.

If the Red Sox get Kim, they probably stick him at 2b this season. And then when Downs is ready to play 2b, they could shift Kim to SS and Bogaerts to 3b and move Devers to 1b and deal Dalbec. And then when JDM's contract is up, it could coincide with Casas being ready to take 1b and Devers could move to the DH slot. That could be their defensive end-game strategy and they probably figure it's cheaper than spending huge bucks on Lindor or Correia. Hell yes, I like that scenario! I have a feeling Xander would opt out if the Red Sox don't commit to him as a SS.

Earlier, there were said to be 5 teams interested in him, Reds, Cardinals, Blue Jays, Rangers and Red Sox. That's the high bid. It is what it is. This is for Kim, not Arihara.

from Google: Naming Korean names are usually three syllables long, formatted as [surname] [personal name] [personal name], with one syllable for each name. ... Both the personal names are considered to be first names. ... The surname comes before the personal names, reflecting how the family comes before the individual in South Korean culture. . . . So, he's Ha. Kim is his family name (along with about 1/5 of the population of South Korea). His name is Kim Ha-Seong, the American media just reverses it to fit understood naming customs.

Did not know Meyers was a HS QB He was also a college QB for 2 years Is that true? His wiki page makes it sound like he converted after being redshirted his freshman year.
