    Sox send Miley to Seattle for Smith (RP) and Elias (SP)

    Bullpen now projects 3 closer level talents with K/9 rates last year: 11.8 (15' smith) 10.5 ('15 Koji) and 13.2 ('15 Kimbrel)!!!! Unfortunately, building bullpens on historical trends is a fickle process, but on paper this gives them a chance to shut the door.

    Red Sox sign David Price

    Whole heartedly agree... this is a total win, now we just need to get rid of Hanley and Liverpool to pay for it.

    Red Sox sign David Price

    Also Grienke's 2 years older and has had injuries and a much less consistent output... also Price has pitched the majority of his career in the limelight of the AL East. I'd gladly take his consistency at the ace spot, than Grienke's streaky brilliance.

    Red Sox sign David Price

    Meant to say "better part of a decade" and also I was always terrified when he came to Fenway... closest they've had since Pedro.

    Red Sox sign David Price

    He's a 5+ WAR starter who averages 200+ innings and hasn't had a bad statistical season (despite Postseason which is obvs. small sample, etc.) He's a top-3 pitcher in the majors for a decade and he's a young 30, turns 31 next august. $31/ year is a good price IMO.

    Red Sox sign OF Chris Young to two year deal

    It seems extremely likely that this is built towards trading one of Betts, Bradley or Castillo (I'd bet Betts, sigh) for a big chip and the two years allow Benintendi to take over whenever he's ready.
