    I was mildly surprised Simmons couldn't be moved as a backup MI option to a contender for salary relief. But the position player market was rough yesterday. Players like Schoop and Merrifield didn't move, either.
  2. Brock Beauchamp
    In this case, Manfred did it right, IMO. Yesterday was so much more exciting and intense than most deadlines, as GMs had their safety nets of the waiver wire deadline taken away from them.

    I still think it was a mistake but the Sox are winning and playing very well so it's hard to make that argument very convincing (and plays more into my general belief that "managers don't matter all that much" so the win difference is miniscule, if it exists at all). And aside from LaRussa being the right choice, how he was hired was pretty dodgy. The GM should make that call, and all other baseball-related calls, not ownership.

    To be more specific, I'd probably give them a B-. They did a very good job with Cruz and Berríos but missed with lower wattage moves, particularly Pineda. I don't see a reason why Pineda couldn't bring back an interesting prospect in the low minors. I'm giving them a fair amount of slack on Kepler or Donaldson, as the position player market looked really weak yesterday and there's no reason to trade Kepler if the return isn't good. I doubt they even had a real shot to move Donaldson given the rest of the market.

    LOL. How'd I ****ing forget who they're playing today? It's been a long day, man.
  6. Brock Beauchamp
    Is Gant already here? That seems impossible.
  7. Brock Beauchamp
    Sheesh, what a day. I’ve been going non-stop since 8am and kinda forgot there’s still a baseball game yet to be played.
  8. Brock Beauchamp
    Yeah, I view this as a disappointment. Not a huge failure but not good and rather perplexing, especially after moving Happ. I understand why Simmons wasn't dealt (and Donaldson as well), there were so many position players left without a market today. Something of a surprise the market shook out that way.
  9. Brock Beauchamp
    That is correct.

    Law isn't afraid to commit to an opinion, right or wrong. He's often a nice counter-balance to the overall positivity of other analysts.

    Huzzah!

    No silly, that's Robert Redford.
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    Bah, now they're just being greedy.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    I've been hard on this front office lately but they literally traded JA Happ for a live human being that plays baseball.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    And that's fair. The risk on Maeda is ridiculously low, I was speaking solely to the ability to maximize value from him. I'm also completely okay with not trading him.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    As Ayn Rand famously wrote, "Who is John Gant?"
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    They can replace two starters but I don't think they can replace the quality of Berríos and Maeda (I think Maeda will rebound).
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    I think they go hard at free agency this offseason. No, they can't replace both Maeda and Berríos in a single offseason but I don't think they compete in 2022 unless everything breaks right for them.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    I fee that way about Buxton. It all depends on the return for Maeda what I think about a deal for him.

    I hope Lewis' bat can catch up quickly enough to see him next year. He has missed *a lot* of reps at this point.
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    Pineda is a free agent no matter what the Twins do so not trading him is rather irresponsible.
