Red Sox/MLB Hot Stove Part III: PLAY BALL - Opening Day is April 7th at Yankee Stadium

[N o o d l e s]

The Mets will never be good. It’s kind of sad actually

 

[EverettMike]

FWIW, Buster Olney reported that the Red Sox had interest in Craig Kimbrell.

Ugh.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Gonna be hilarious when EA ends up making the umpire calls and it overrides the real Ump

 

[McGarnagle]

 

[Gator Mike]

This is how Garrett Whitlock should enter every game.

 

[CDJ]

Ugh.

I believe they’ve been reported to be interested in just about every name this off-season. I’ve never seen so much interest lol

This one I do actually believe because I think he has only a year left and there’s no reason to leak the Sox at this point

Padres, Mets Reportedly Stalled On Hosmer Trade Talks

4:57PM: Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports that talks may have stalled entirely after the two sides "hit a snag" …

Made no sense anyway

 

[DKH]

Xander wants to stay and to me he’s Patrice Bergeron

I’m GM I’m willing to give him the Freeman contract 6/160ish but he’s got to be willing to move off SS (if need be)

 

[CDJ]

Alright with Barnes sitting 92-93 who do you all choose as our closer?

Strahm is my guy at the moment

 

[quietbruinfan]

No platoon partner- at very least for Bradley- and the foolishness of Barnes as closer again shows me Bloom has an awful lot to learn. I have no idea who closes Whitlock has the stuff but is better setting up.

That's what we said in 1962.

Padres apparently trying to corner the market on starting pitchers.

Padres apparently trying to corner the market on starting pitchers.

Seems like overkill for the Padres but as the saying goes you can never have enough pitching.

 

[McGarnagle]

NL West is going to be insane.

Also, Oakland needs to be taken away by the league and sold to a Las Vegas billionaire. This is embarrassing. I get that they're small market and need to reset every few years to survive, but Miguel Cabrera makes the exact same amount of money this year that the Oakland A's 25-man roster is. Manaea was making 1/4 of their entire payroll prior to the trade.

Beltran can go shove this right up his ass. So can the Yankees who mysteriously got let off the hook for what they did

He and the players along with ownership got away with this while Hinch and Cora got scapegoated.

Rob Manfred is the worst Commissioner of all time.

 

[CDJ]

Beltran did lose a managerial job before it even began because of it, so it’s not like he hasn’t faced repercussions for it

 

[McGarnagle]

If anything Beltran got the worst punishment. Hinch and Cora took their suspensions and found jobs again no questions asked, no problems. Beltran was fired before he started and I don't think he's going to find a managerial job any time soon.

Still pissed at Luhnow for trying to throw Cora and Beltran under the bus when it was mainly his idea.

 

[McGarnagle]

The Vegas over/under for the Red Sox season is 85.5. I'm pretty confident they're going over that.

The Vegas over/under for the Red Sox season is 85.5. I'm pretty confident they're going over that.

They got shaky pitching and Bogearts has missed 3 games with a wrist apparently that has been recurring last few years - Mazz mentioned today on game

However
Orioles & Athletics are going to be bad

That’s 25 games

Go 18-7 and go 68-69 of way and you cover

I like the long term prognosis of Sox more than this year but

 

[22Brad Park]

 

[McGarnagle]

Kutter made the opening day roster

Alex also announced that Rich Hill is in the rotation and Whitlock will stay in the pen to start the year

 

[McGarnagle]

Franchy optioned to Worcester, Arauz will be the last bench spot

Tyler Danish making the club as the long reliever
