2023 Free Agents

[a700hitter]

Not getting excited about a guy who has been with 5 teams and had a 4.47 ERA last year. That is a nothing move. It does nothing to improve the team.

You clearly don’t understand the process of a genius in building a team.

Now they trade for Hoy Park who hit .216 last year with the Pirates. These moves are killing me. Horrible.

That’s about a league average ERA but the underlying metrics are better. He generates swings and misses and batters don’t hit him hard. He’s a tweak of his control away from being an elite reliever, and I’d not he’s a decent 6th inning guy. Either or makes the team better. It’s a good low risk high upside move.

Every team makes moves like this, bullpens are so Volatile year to year many elite relievers fit this mold before they figure out. Sox did it with Andrew Miller, maybe they can do it again.

He’s costing 1.5 million. What do y’all expect a middle reliever to get paid. That’s a bargain.

1.5 million for a guy that sucks is not a bargain.

Trust the genius.

I’m sorry, how much are you paying a 6th inning pitcher? Btw his era is roughly league average. Saying he sucks is a massive stretch. Not surprisingly

The Red Sox have traded for infielder Hoy Park, who has a career OPS+ of 74 in 210 MLB plate appearances as the South Korea native approaches his 27th birthday in April:

Word is, we will flip him & Duran to the Ms for Winker.

I don’t know where you saw that word, but that would be interesting.

[iortiz]

Trust the genius.

Bloom is really on a very thin ice. He's starting to load the team with bums.

I was just bustin' harm's errr...

Word is, they do want an OF'er.

The mystery is how Baseball Trade Values assigns a value of $5.9 million for Jarren Duran with a projected 2023 wRC+ of 93 while assigning a value of $3 million to Taylor Trammell, a plus defender who is a year younger than Duran and who is projected with a 2023 wRC+ of 101. However, Duran has six years of team control and Trammell only five.

Duran would fall behind Trammell, Jesse Winker, Jarred Kelenic and Cade Marlowe on Seattle's current depth chart of lefthand-hitting outfielders.

Now, I really like this acquisition. Three years of Joely. A jolly jolly good time.

If they DFA Ort, it’s worth it…

Stay the course, Chaim, stay the course.

[cp176]

It seems like just the other day a few moves were made around this time of year that pushed the Sox over the top. To date - nothing 0. You would think that some kind of real move will have to be made that actually will help the team. I liked us more when we had a lot of good players.

[Bellhorn04]

The good news is, Chaim hasn't spent much of that pot of available money yet.

As Tom Petty said, the waiting is the hardest part.

Not only did they trade for him, they publicly said he’s replacing Bogaerts!!!

Or maybe they didn’t and he’s a guy that will struggle to hold a utility infielder position…
