Oh I have no idea if he is opting out. I didn't even know there was an opt out. I just thought it was a two year deal. Problem solved then. Because Devers can't continue at 3rd. It's time to switch him to DH.
Devers is in the lineup

Trevor Story back tomorrow, Sale pitching on Friday
So Chang or Reyes to be DFAd. I believe Reyes to be the better player.

Wow Trevor how nice of you to grace the team that is vastly overpaying you with your presence!

He had problems in LA also and was benched last year for dogging it.
Nothing out of the blue here.

Not really because Casas (.204) is in it.
Devers has a higher average against lefties (.293).
Wong is the real oddball. Hitting .148 against lefties, .265 against right-handers.
Verdugo a .230 hitter against lefties and a sulking pita currently.

Huge and thank god that Whitlock is going back to the pen. Keep him there please. Forever. He’s just a weapon when he’s there. Wish he had starter durability but it isn’t there.
I truly hope they DFA Chang. Thanks for the help but he offers absolutely nothing at the plate. He should clear waivers like Arroyo did so if he wants to stick around, awesome.

Three years ago, he was 4th in the NL Cy Young voting.
Might be worth it to see if some tweaks can get him back to something approaching that point.

Three years ago for a 31 year old pitcher is a lifetime.
Some tweaks to to do what? Get his ERA down to 8?

Getting his ERA down to 8 means he got some runners out. Can only improve from there
Teel has a chance to pass up Mayer on our prospects list. He is going to move fast in my opinion.

The Orioles are incredibly soft. There is literally zero words in that clip that warrants a suspension.

He's 100% opting out. His contract becomes a 1/$15m deal when he does so he just needs to beat $6m on the market which won't be hard.

So they lose 7-2 instead of 10-2
Don’t rly care about Casas overall average against them when he has a .361 OBP against them, especially when that average is further skewed by his slow first month. He should not be a platoon player.
his first at-bat has been the best hit ball all game.

All hail Bloom. I wonder if he took any psychology courses at Yale? What an idiot.

Youkilis just gets paid to be the nesn kool-aid guy. Sounded like he was afraid admitting that it looked like the guy at 3rd got his sliding glove in their before Devers got him out.

It's players like Casas that make me wonder if talent evaluators / scouts are actually watching prospects play instead of just running with the stuff they've read or been told from another souce.
How could the guy be labeled as a potential better than average 1B? I mean, it's perfectly fine that Red Sox near guys are pumping the tires of their prospects, but how do neutral journalists fall for it? He's one of the worst 1B I have seen in a long time. Easily bottom of the league. He can work his way to being somehow fringe average, but you probably need the imagination of a Tolkien to picture him as a solid defender.

I can't see the post but some more dumpster diving? Who did we get for a bargain? The next Garrett Richards? Corey Kluber?
The range is the entire issue defensively. Verdugo did a good job improving his this off-season, Casas will need to dedicate in a similar way. He’s never gonna have great range with his size but some of these balls he needs to be getting to…Or at least knock them down
To answer your question about what national prospect evaluators saw- I think they like his soft hands and he has a really good arm (just doesn’t need to use it at his position). They definitely didn’t make note of the range being this poor though
If you saw the Pelosi draft thread you know how much I put into national rankings- I don’t think these guys have enough time in the day to make proper evaluations on all these players. There are so many dang minor league baseball players lol
It’s nice to see how your team looks from a national perspective but I certainly don’t take them as gospel. Typically the billion dollar operations are gonna have more insight than them.
The funny thing to me is that the soxprospects guys are usually more pessimistic than the national outlets are

If he does that would say more about Mayer. I don't follow this stuff at all because prospect talk is generally boring. But is Mayer sliding or something?
