I’m sure we can pretty much all agree that Bogaerts isn’t “worth” what he got, but how do you replace that production in a market where no one seems to be worth what they are getting, and when you don’t have a ton of expendable prospects / trade bait?
As of now, the Sox have subtracted
Bogaerts -6.1 fWAR
Vazquez -1.7 fWAR
JD -1.0 fWAR
Hill -1.8 fWAR
Wacha -1.5 fWAR
Eovaldi -1.0 fWAR
Now, they’ve added Martin who is +1.6 fWAR (although only projected at 0.5 this year), Jansen (+1.5 fWAR, projected at 0.5), and Yoshida, who must seem to see as a 2-3 win player?
Shit ton of work to do here. Replacing a 6 win player isn’t easy.
