Whitlock is one of the many lottery tickets (Rule V draft) that Bloom picked up during the offseason. It'd be a nice steal (from NYY!) if he manages to stick. He's certainly got an...

Really excited to see how Houck builds on his impressive debut. 17IP/1ER/21k in late September (of a pandemic year) could be misleading but doing it against playoff teams still in a...

Surprise! A future-value deal. Honestly, not bad return for two guys that Bloom DFA in the last few days. Mazza was better than anticipated with the Sox, but only because expectations...

Eh, I don't really agree, at least with the bold part. The Dodgers bridged into their current success by buying top talent with an ownership committed to that process. But what they built was...

I think that you're wrong on the cost of trading Price. We are already eating $16M/yr of his contract. I realize that prospect value can affect the amount that is paid but I'm not sure that it was...

First impression isn't very encouraging.

Cordero has been kicking around the minors for 8yrs. He started young, but still, if he can't get traction in his mid-20s what is there to get excited...

I think that Pedroia's retirement frees up some money for the Sox for 2021. If so, I could see JBJ returning now.

I should be sad but I'm not. When he signed his (disastrous) $110M/8yr contract, he did so saying that he wanted to structure the deal in a way that did not hurt the team at the end of his career. ...

I was specifically talking about the mindset of the FO: focus on developing talent in the farm system, including acquiring upside talent via trade. I believe that the type of run they sustained is...

Maybe it's local bias (2hrs to Hotlanta) but I always liked this guy. If we're stockpiling arms with upside then I'd be checking in.

I did not realize that Richards' and Adriese's deals both include options for 2022. I like both a bit more now.

I'd also forgotten that we're still hamstrung by Price's contract at a value of...

Surprisingly, the Carasiti signing made me more convinced that I understand the reasoning... not that I necessarily agree with it. Bloom is essentially rewinding the clock to 2002 and Theo's idea of...

With the Red Sox doing essentially nothing this offseason, why would Bradley want to return?

Feels weird. The Yankees are dumping Ottavino's salary to make another move and stay under the luxury tax and the Red Sox are helping. After watching them pick up Tallion for...

Not a terrible signing but I'm not sure that he was worth more than Lester ($5M), Quintana ($8M), etc to what the Red Sox are doing this offseason. Not a group that is going to...

^^ On that last point, the two biggest deals that are currently being discussed:

Trade Benintendi for a younger OF and lottery ticket pitcher
Outright or release Dustin Pedroia (I'd do the...

Swell, we cleared a spot for the SP whom we cut back in November. But why? Wasn't there any value in a glove-first guy who could play all over the infield and didn't strike out much? I...

Um... this might be where I step off the train. Kluber goes to the Yankees relatively cheap and the Red Sox answer is... Martin Perez? We declined his option to save a couple million bucks?...

Hard to say how much of an upgrade Semien would be over what we've got. Was the monster 2019 season just a fluke? Most years he's been a league-average SS with both bat and...

I always take Bowden's "insider" stuff with a grain of salt. That said, I wonder if we could bring back someone like Edward Cabrera or Trevor Rogers. Sixto Sanchez is...

Yeah, I'm a little uncertain about what's going on. Obviously, COVID has left a lot of uncertainty in the FA market. I don't get a reluctance to go beyond a couple of years (above), though. If a...
