    15 wins after the league suspends him for 30 games?

    I think he plays somewhere. GMs saw his first half two seasons ago and will give him a look.

    Dombrowski need to find two starters and maybe a relief arm or two and somehow add some offense.

    Maybe make quiet moves and go in on Harper next year.

Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."

    Suspend a player for 30 games with no priors for arguing with his wife?

    I bet the charges are dropped. He did not hit anyone.

    Whatever.

    At this point, how can the public be certain that Steven Wright did not hit anyone?

    I am all for JD Martinez, but I am not sure I like Hosmer enough to pay him that money, he's been alternating between a 4.0ish WAR and 1.0ish WAR the past 4 years. I don't know what player were getting with him.

    Arguments get you a disorderly. You don’t get a charge of assault without doing something physical. Prevention of a 911 call is probably the hint. Maybe he didn’t strike her, but maybe he took the phone from her or broke her phone when she said she was going to call 911. Either way, that is usually taken seriously. My guess is she doesn’t cooperate and the charges are dropped. He probably gets a 15 game suspension for being a dope.

    In this day and age? I would be really surprised if he is back in Boston.

    By using the same logic that says that we use in knowing that he was arrested for "domestic assault" - We saw it online! Has anyone disputed his claim that the alleged assault was nothing more than verbal?

    The arrest was for domestic assault and prevention of a 911 call. That entails a little more than just yelling. Like I said, he may not have touched her, but he may have blocked her access to a phone or broken her phone. You also don’t know what was said. Either way, let the process sort itself out. My guess is she’ll drop the charges and he’ll get a nominal suspension from the MLB

    My point is that from media accounts the public cannot be certain that Steven Wright did or did not hit his wife.

    Police reportedly had probable cause to arrest Wright for domestic assault, which in many jurisdictions requires physical contact. The accused occasionally denies the allegations, sometimes with good reason and sometimes without good reason.

    The system should sort out the facts ... or not.

    Red Sox Make Jackie Bradley Jr. Available In Trade Talks
    By Jeff Todd | December 11, 2017 at 8:32am CDT

    The Red Sox are advising rival organizations that they’ll consider dealing away center fielder Jackie Bradley Jr., according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today (via Twitter). That stance, he notes, is tied to the team’s efforts to add a power bat — presumably, one that would occupy a corner outfield spot and bump Andrew Benintendi into center.

    Makes me think signing JD is just around the corner.

    No no no - don't misunderstand me and make a statement like that. That is not what I was implying at all.
