I'm looking at some metrics, other than UZR/150 that show Swanson is better than Bogey. I admit, I'm going totally by taking all the metrics, together and I feel it shows Swanson is clearly better than Bogey on D, despite the weaker arm. If I'm wrong, then it's Andrus, because I doubt Correa is even on the table. (He would be on my table.)
He's more than a year younger, so that's another reason. If Bogey signs for 8 years and Swanson 6, and both move off SS at lets say age 33, Bogey plays SS 2 or 3 of 8 years and Swanson plays SS 3 or 4 years out of 6. That's a major percentage differential.
When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
Estevez is off the board and on to Anaheim. 2 years $13.5 million
I’m a little disappointed there. Fulmer, Rogers, Jansen remain top relief arms left. Hopefully the Sox get one..

Certainly, this winter has `been exciting...
...for many other teams.

I'd settle for an Eovaldi or Kluber signing at this point.

Apparently Turner got a higher offer from Padres but decided to sign with the Phillies instead. So expect them to make a run at Bogey
That’s probably why the Padres talked to Turner.
Trea has already moved off shortstop to play 2b and CF. Bogaerts is reluctant.
The Padres will eventually trade for Cleveland’s Ames Rosario, whose has also willingly gone to the outfield, and make him their new 2b or CF or 1b or whatever…
