    Almost more excited for Davis' season than the Cubs' season.

    That's so underwhelming for the Red Sox. Fans are rightfully pissed.
  7. Post Count Padder
    Looks like you were right Obviously

    Lmao love it. Now I'm thinking the actual trade involves the Twins but a separate deal with the Angels happens once the dust settles?

    I think I prefer Holt but I wouldn't say no to Kipnis. He hasn't been much of anything the last couple years but maybe the change of scenery will help. I'm sure he'd take a cheap deal being this late in the offseason and how well he's played (and that it would be a homecoming of sorts).
  10. Post Count Padder
    Now that's someone who would've made sense for us on a minor league deal
  11. Post Count Padder
    I guess that's who we tried to boot from the 40 man.
  12. Post Count Padder
    Aw hell yeah He's well-traveled catcher Caleb's brother, as well.
  13. Post Count Padder
    This season is cancelled.
  14. Post Count Padder
    Just 1 mil? Did PTR Jedi mind trick him into taking that?
  15. Post Count Padder
    The last report I saw sounded like it could be Betts for Wil Myers, Chris Paddack/Cal Quantrill and Josh Naylor and that would be pretty meh deal for the Sox.
  16. Post Count Padder
    Eh, it's fine. Pretty cheap and if he is close to his 2018 numbers, it's a steal. Surprised it's a MLB deal though. And still bummed about no Strop.
  17. Post Count Padder
    Now that's a name I haven't thought about in a long time.

    If Hoerner makes the team, especially with that bench, I can see him making the starting line up a good amount just in a psuedo-Zobrist role. If you keep Heyward/Souza in a straight platoon, I think Hoerner becomes the main 'backup' for Schwarber (Bryant to left), Happ (Heyward to center, Bryant to right), Bryant (Bote to third), Baez, and Bote. Even just giving those 5 guys 10-15 games off for the year gets you 50-75 starts. Although this implies a world where Almora doesn't exist, so it might be a little hopeful. Fair point. I keep waiting for them to trade Almora to, like, the Phillies for Vince Velasquez or something and nope.

    Nico isn't gonna be on the bench. He's either starting or he's getting at bats in Iowa. Would guess if it's another infielder it's Hernan Perez or Robel. Maybe Short.
  20. Post Count Padder
    And in case you were wondering how he'll fit on the 40 man:
  21. Post Count Padder
    I liked Souza as a buy-low candidate and he has a nice power-speed combo and passable defense. I guess this means no on Castellanos.
  22. Post Count Padder
    Yeah, that doesn't make sense... SD doesn't have that deep a farm system that they can unload Wil Myers on Boston, get Mookie Betts and hold on to their top five prospects. That's ridiculous lol. You have to front load that deal with Gore or Patino or CJ Abrams. One of those prospects has to be part of the trade package. Oh I totally agree. Idk how that deal gets done otherwise.
  23. Post Count Padder
    Looks like the talks are Wil Myers and a bunch of prospects but none of the Padres top five prospects and the hold up is how much the Red Sox want to pay of Myers' contract.
  24. Post Count Padder
    I know we have basically a full pen now but not bringing back Strop horsefeathering kills me, especially considering how cheap he's likely gonna be
  25. Post Count Padder
    When we don't even have the money for Neil Walker.
