Okay Craig, for our 2B, SS, and 3B options, you have: -Caleb Durbin, who was a plus defender at 3B -Marcelo Mayer, who is a natural SS Trevor Story, who was one of the worst defense SS last year I AM BEGGING YOU TO SEE THE WRITING ON THE WALL AND TO GET THIS RIGHT

@planterspunch7 @gfstarr1 I always get a kick (in the balls) when the Sox trade away star players for peanuts in return, yet have to give up the farm when trading for a decent guy they want.

@gfstarr1 The Giants could trade Devers right now for an incredible return and not eat any salary. Devers’s contract is actually cheap given the current market. The Red Sox were desperate to instantly unload him and got pennies on the dollar in return. Almost as bad as the Sale trade.

If it took $8M, Sandlin, and 2 PTBNL to complete the Hicks trade, imagine what it would cost the Red Sox to trade Yoshida and open up the DH role.

Minten on if he sees himself as a top-six center in the future: “I just want to play in the NHL. Play me wherever, I don’t care.”

6 games until the trade deadline for Boston. This may be one of the most interesting deadlines since Don Sweeney took over as GM. Real solid market for guys like Viktor Arvidsson and Casey Mittelstadt. They (technically) don’t have to do anything with Mittelstadt this year but you’d like for Boston to take advantage of the premium market for him. Although, injuries to Zacha and Lindholm may cause hesitation. Andrew Peeke is a prime candidate. Chances of being moved (IMO): Mike Eyssimont - 100% Andrew Peeke - 100% Viktor Arvidsson - 80% Casey Mittelstadt - 60% If you could trade both Eyssimont (3rd) and Peeke (2nd), plus one of Arvidsson (2nd+) or Mittelstadt (2nd+) then that’s a pretty good deadline — still think Mittelstadt can net you a 1st in this market even if it’s a 2027/2028 pick What do YOU want Don Sweeney to do? Who would be your top-3 targets in the market? #NHL #NHLBruins #BRUINS

@PaulZeise Is the high altitude air conditions in Denver considered an unfair weather advantage for the Broncos? Maybe they should play all their playoff games somewhere else

A trip to the Super Bowl should not be determined by weather conditions. It just shouldn't. These games should be played at neutral sites in warm weather cities under good conditions

Tom Brady replaced Drew Bledsoe and won a Super Bowl. Kurt Warner replaced Trent Green and won a Super Bowl. Nick Foles replaced Michael Vick, and won a Super Bowl. Why not #Broncos Jarrett Stidham, right?

@BallParkBuzz As everyone seems to anoint the LAD for being a such a brilliant front office, they should have read the labor landscape and anticipated what could be before dishing out these deals

The thing about even considering a salary cap is how do you handle the Dodgers? They already have all of this guaranteed money on the books for the next couple of years. They would never be able to get under. They would have to start at like $450M and work their way down every year.

@BallParkBuzz It’s fairly easy. They would have to trade players. This happens regularly in the NBA

James Crawford@jhcrawfordIV·
@BallParkBuzz A "salary cap", like all other prohibitions, simply transfers deeds from out in the open to under the table. A creative accountant can exploit loopholes the same way moguls skirt income tax. If a team can talk Ohtani into playing for $2mil/yr on paper, what good does any cap do?

@LouMerloni I read somewhere that because of th Frank McCourt ownership settlement, the LAD are allowed to keep most of their TV revenue as opposed to sharing it like the other teams. Thats another big advantage foe them. But kudos to them for reinvesting IPO pocketing

Stop being so dramatic over the LAD signing Tucker. The LAD did more last off season and the game didn't shut down. Fans didn't stop watching. They didn't stop going and supporting their team. LAD won 93 games and gave us one of the greatest WS in years.....That everyone watched

@HebHammer94 He’s too old for that return. What if the there is a lost season in 2027? We get him for basically his age 32 and 34 years. And I know we have a crowded OF, but we need bats. Isn’t giving one up to get one counter productive?

Reacting to the Sox signing Ranger Suarez. Good pitcher? Yes. Qualities that scare me? Yes. Hard to judge fully until we see what they do with their surplus of V good SPs. But can’t say getting a SP that’s not a definite co-ace as the Bregman fallback was at the top of my list.

@EdHand89 We were told we had depth last year, but hobbled into the playoffs with one reliable starter.

Ed Hand@EdHand89·
Red Sox starting pitching depth was already solid, now it is stupid good. 1. Garrett Crochet 2. Ranger Suarez 3. Sonny Gray 4. Brayan Bello 5. Johan Oviedo 6. Kutter Crawford 7. Patrick Sandoval 8. Connelly Early 9. Kyle Harrison 10. Payton Tolle 11. David Sandlin 12. Tyler Uberstine 13. Shane Drohan And that's just from the 40-man and after trading Hunter Dobbins and DFAing Cooper Criswell. The best path forward probably is pitching and defense.

Cubs focused on pitching and had an insulting offer last offseason. Tigers are lukewarm. Bregman seemed like the pivot for the Phillies if Schwarber didn’t sign, especially from a clubhouse perspective. Who’s stepping up?
Joe Monaco@joe_monaco98

@tylermilliken_ Can you elaborate a little on what you mean by this? Meaning he's going to have to expect less money or more?
