    Offseason rumors

    Is this a precursor to a Jansen/Martin/Houck type trade? One more bullpen arm for the pitcher whisperer, maybe? If Giolito is to happen, we need to clear a spot.

    Offseason rumors

    And, until it happened, we didn't think there was a chance of moving Sale. If CB has shown us anything with that, it's the he is not afraid to be bold. However, I think it's far more likely he moves Kenley and/or Martin to free up payroll before signing any of Hernandez/Snell/Montgomery. That...

    What does Red Sox starting pitching look like in 2024?

    I like this. Craig, activate operation open purse strings!

    Sox in on Giolito?

    Couldn't agree more. As you said before, $20M+ is not a project price. If I'm spending 20, spend the extra 5-10 and get a top of the rotation piece.

    Sox in on Giolito?

    If we end up with him, I sure hope you're correct. I really am getting tired of reclamation projects.

    Sox in on Giolito?

    Agree to disagree then, because two straight years of regression with walk rates climbing and HRs allowed also climbing, I just don't think it plays will on Boston, regardless of a pitching guru. I could be wrong, but if the difference between the 22M a year for Giolito an 30 for YY is that...

    Sox in on Giolito?

    For what he's likely to get paid and two fairly mediocre seasons in a row, I'd be inclined to kick the tires, but no thanks. MLBTR pegging him as getting 2/44. That's money that can be used elsewhere, AKA, backing the truck up for YY.

    https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/12/guardians-trade-rumors-emmanuel-clase.html Very nice potential addition to the bullpen. You have to at the very least see what they're asking

    Red Sox Rumors - Just Kidding

    If he's going to be platooning with Duran, I'd take that over what Duran did against lefties. He was absolutely gross against LHP. I'd rather he play a corner spot, but it seems as though he'd be in center. Not ideal, but a one year deal that's relatively cheap.

    https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/01/red-sox-to-sign-adam-duvall.html Let's see what else shakes out. Decent numbers for a hopeful slight bounce back candidate. CF platoon with Duran?

    Red Sox extend Devers—11 years, $332 million

    Are the brown bags the meat or the bread? This could change things a bit.

    Red Sox sign Corey Kluber

    Exactly. Does it change the landscape of the AL East? No. It provides a seemingly very well liked veteran who can hopefully provide some insurance for Sale/Paxton and hopefully give us some quality innings this season. If anything, he can provide some insight to the younger guys we have entering...

    Red Sox Rumors - Just Kidding

    At that AAV, I'd be all in. If he'd take that, I'm almost sure that John Henry might say do it, just to save face.

    He keeps looking for that diamond in the rough, while mostly finding lumps of coal.

    Red Sox Rumors - Just Kidding

    Which, for a barely 26 year old, isn't the worst thing they could do. 10 for 300 in this market for a player yet to enter his prime is fair, to me.
