Maybe not a 1B but I do think they could use some DH pop. I keep seeing Alonso’s name, but what about Christian Walker from the DBacks? 33, on pace for 40+ HR and 100+ RBI. Free agent after this year.
MLB Notebook: Which prospects might Red Sox have to deal if they buy?
You have to give up something to get something, and if the Red Sox choose to add to their roster later this month, it will likely cost them some prospects. Which ones might the organization be in position to deal?www.masslive.com
gotta see if Casas ok
Pitching where I go
Pivetta is up and down but I sign him
The Red Sox DO N0T need
C
1B
SS
3B
OF
Probably 2B but Hamilton & Valdez are able to do well by Cora, Grissom ??? - Kristian Campbell is on a meterotic rise through the system and he’s a 2B
If you follow they are positionally set it’s just how good will they be?
Could they be ~ Yaz, Smith, Conigliaro or Rice, Lynn, Evans, or Greenwell, Burks, Benzinger, or Benintendi, JBJ, Betts ???
There have been 4 times last 60 years an entire young OF in a 1-4 year span all showed up
Right now it’s Duran, Rafaela, and all signs point to Anthony ~ Bleis though is also there and Abreu
How high can they go and will they keep them ?
Sea Dogs @ Fisher Cats 6:35; Starter Caleb Bolden;
Syracuse Mets @ Worcester 6:45 Dylan Gambrell starts for Worcester;
BOS @ NYY 7pm Houck starts

Good interview in The Athletic with Sox Farm Director Brian Alvarez:
On what Marcelo Mayer has left to prove in Portland: "I think seeing more left-handed pitching, I think increasing his walk rate and narrowing that strike zone... Defensively, range to his arm-side, going to his right is something we’re focused on, working toward the baseball and those plays in the hole."
On Kyle Teel: "Then to consistently work, he has a ton of athleticism and ability to move behind the plate, just making sure those movements are consistent and precise and working positively, whether it be blocking balls or catching balls on the outer half to make sure they’re strikes."
On Matthew Lugo's adjustment to Worcester: "I would say while the surface numbers aren’t as strong as they were in Double A, he’s still impacting the baseball really hard. Maybe not at as high of a pace as he was in Double A, but he also was — you talk about dominating a level, that’s the type of performance that we’re talking about. Someone leading all of Double A in hard hit balls, barrels, any type of surface-level number or underlying number that you can think of, he was toward the top in Double A. So I think for him, it’s just adjusting to Triple A, the opposing teams, more advanced reports, better understanding and it’s taken more time for him to adjust but again when he does hit the baseball we’re still seeing the transferable numbers and that impact we saw in Double A, which to me is really exciting."
On Richard Fitts: "When he sits 95-plus, he’s a really good pitcher that can be a rotation piece for a major-league club and for the Boston Red Sox. When he’s operating at 95 and below, he tends to get hit a little harder and becomes someone who is not as impactful in the long term."

FIRE DON SWEENEY INTO THE SUN
Terrible throw.
Houck should of been pulled earlier though. His command was gone after the delay
McGarnagle
Yes.

If nothing else, they're pretty scrappy.
