Red Sox/MLB 2025 Hot Stove - Mets land Juan Soto on 15-year, $765M deal

[CDJ]

What a bad run for the Sox that this happens every year! Maybe I'd be less skeptical this time if that boy hadn't cried wolf so often.

Had or is having a 4th kid, said he’s 40 and wanted to be around his family more

Not gonna lose sleep over it, plenty of old decent relievers left (my choice would be giving Yates like 1/20 or Robertson 1/15 or something). I think the relief market is mostly waiting on Tanner Scott to sign, they’re going slooooow

Just sign Tanner to a huge one year deal if he's the best available relief pitcher. If he sucks it's one year and if he's good you can refuse to trade him for a haul at the deadline because you have a 12% at the Wild Card.

Not much incentive for him to do it unless he’s getting like 3/45 offers. He apparently wants 4/80

I bet he gets like 4/70. Somebody’s gonna want poor man’s Billy Wagner

Totally down for a big 1/25 or something if doable tho

Apparently the dodgers are in on him, they’ll give him $200 mill in deferred money knowing the worlds not gonna be around in like 7 years

Breslow said they aren’t dealing Casas do…..

If this was 2015 I’m all over Arenado

I’m losing interest the way they are all talk

Breslow said they aren’t dealing Casas do…..

Breslow said they aren't shopping Casas.

Big difference.

My joke was pretty good and didn't deserve so much sincerity.

We get to go through it all over again next season. If Guerrero has a solid season, I am betting he will reach over 500m.

Lmao hey I don’t think it’s a half bad idea, I’d pay him a ton to keep it at 1 year. Not my money. Sarcasm detector goes off post midnight (I honestly didn’t read the last line that was a banger)

Would certainly make the Casas stuff more believable

Then there's this ...

The Interest Kings will reign for a thousand years!!

Yup you know when I’m not buying it’s lost its luster

Casas++ for Guerrero --- extend Guerrero.

I know it won't happen this early --- maybe at the deadline, though?

I mean, another contender isn't likely to offer much in July, if there is a good chance he's going to sign here next season anyway.

Toronto gets a potential replacement, Sox get Guerrero.

Sounds good to me.

The Sox should trade Casas for a top level position prospect and then wait for him to develop and reach the big leagues before attempting to sign any notable free agents to big deals, but before they actually do that they should trade that now-MLB player

I like Minter. Strikes people out, limits hard contact, numbers away from Atlanta are very solid.

If you could fire ownership, this track record would be the poster child for deserving it

They trying to break their own single season loss record already?

 

[Johnnyduke]

This make me sick to my stomach. The two "big" deals on mid players like Story and Yoshida (thank you Chaim for those).

 

[Smitty93]

I feel like they have this takeaway that because their big money signings have been bad, that any big money signing is bad, when the real lesson should be that maybe there's just something wrong with their evaluation process of big money players.

Maybe Rachel Phelps bought the team?
