Red Sox/MLB 2025 Off-Season Hot Stove II - Who’s at Third?

[BigGoalBrad]

I kinda wish we didn't sign Bregman and saved the money for Vlad Jr.

There's no way Bregman plays well enough to opt out of 40 mil per year. If I'm wrong well that's great.

Mario Guerrero was

As a Jays fan, if they lose Vladdy, which there's a good chance they do. The whole staff should be fired into the sun.

I would rather sign Crochet to an extension before we sign Vlad.
Vlad will want 45M - 48M a year I would think.
That is more than Judge is making.

Great kid

Give me him over Benintendi vanilla approach to not get any controversy

It’s interesting how uptight uber opinionated people getting their panties in a bunch Calling into talk radio and Twitter - telling him to keep his opinion to himself but not taking their own advice

WEEI or 98.5 should get him each week for a spot

I’m not sure the Sox can afford him as long as have Devers

he would be amazing here

Bregman will only have 2 years left

But he’s going to want 500 M minimum

Hate to burst everyone's bubble, but Vlad Jr. is gonna be a Yankee next year.....

Goldschmidt is just keeping his seat warm.

Matt Moore signing makes sense with Penrod getting an elbow MRI

Guerrero said that his favorite city to play in outside of Canada was New York, but that’s only because he loves “[crushing] 'Los Yanquistas' (Yankees fans) and the Yankees.” When asked if he’d ever play for the Yankees at that time, Guerrero replied, “No, not even dead.”​

Vlad is better than Bregman

Former Pirates P Scott Sauerbeck dies

Former Pittsburgh Pirates left-hander Scott Sauerbeck died, the team announced on Thursday. He was 53. While the team did not provide details on Sauerbeck’s passing, Pittsburgh Baseball Now said he...

I remember being so hyped for this guy to improve our bullpen when we got him near the deadline in 2003, but he wound up being terrible. The trade got all hung up too because I think the prospect the pirates included in the deal had sketchy medicals and they worked it out by reverting the prospects exchanged when they did the Suppan deal at the deadline.

This is somehow Casas fault.

Could say the same thing about the Mets and Alonso

Have to think about total potential dollars, not just AAV. Bregman has a guaranteed $80M for 2026 and 2027, but then he'll be looking at another deal after that, starting with his age 34 season. He'd probably be looking at a 2, maybe 3 year deal then. If Boras thinks he can get a 5 year deal next offseason with more total dollars than the remaining two years of this deal, plus a potential 3 year contract after, then he'll opt out.

I don't think he'll opt out, but I don't think he's a lock not to.

First inning of the first spring training game and Bobby Miller takes a screamer off the face

Well, it's only uphill from here

Two teams wearing the same colored uniforms is dangerous.

Vlad is not available & hes going to get a 500 M deal


Makes sense if they move Devers contract

 

[Chevalier du Clavier]

 

[Blitzkrug]

Good move imo. Baseball is treated almost as poorly as Hockey is by ESPN.

I'm sure they could find another partner for primetime sundays. Turner might be interested given they're losing the NBA and already have a pretty good relationship with MLB.
