Man these two seasons are almost carbon copy seasons

How about a clear upgrade at catcher heading into 25? Get Bregman for second and trade for William Contreras? Far fetched? Possibly. But with Jefferson Quero and Milwaukee being deep in catching prospects why not try. Far fetched BTV concepts but entice them!

Are 11 slices of Frank Pepe’s overdoing it??? Just asking for a friend…😂

Who is the playoff battle tested veteran on this team who wants to lead? Isn’t that valued in positioning the younger guys for best success? I’m willing to take regression of skills over a term with Bregman to also get that presence who plays. Spend the money Sox.

Relief market is moving. Sox need one of the top 3. I would be happy with any but prefer in order: Scott, Hoffman and Kirby.

Found this the most interesting in @alexspeier.bsky.social Sunday notes column: “While Breslow wouldn’t comment on the signing of Buehler, he did acknowledge that the team’s roster-building focus has shifted primarily to the bullpen and adding righthanded bats.” Bats plural.

RIP to the greatest lead off hitter of all time.

This morning, @baumann.bsky.social had yet another Cubs. This one is a deep dive on Seiya Suzuki, including why the Cubs might trade him, why teams might want him, his freakishly high BABIP, and an aside on former Eagles backup QB Kevin Kolb:

@redsoxstats.bsky.social any reason to believe teams hold off on signing any compensation free agents until after Sasaki is settled and what happens if that team signs Sasaki for the whole pool then signs that comp FA? The get reduced int’l spend the next year?

Roberto Alomar jersey. Do you go Padres, Indians or Blue Jays? None is the WRONG answer! 🤣

Imagine a rotation for the next few years of Crochet, Jared Jones, Roki Sasaki, Bello and whomever! Roki is a low probability for Boston but domination to dream upon!

Mets plan for SP in a world with Soto? Something tells me they are still targeting Burnes regardless🤣

Who is the next Erceg…reliever with years of control that teams could be thinking about if they don’t get Scott or Hoffman? I really like Andrew Nardi who has been in rumors in the past.

With lefties Yusei Kikuchi and Blake Snell off the board, it’s a very good time to be Max Fried … or the White Sox (Crochet). Based on what I can glean, a) the Sox liked Snell; b) I don’t believe they had him atop of their pitcher wishlist; c) at least to this point, Soto resolution was/is likely…

Offseason next-up, for the sickos:

Non-tender deadline: 22 Nov

Rule 5 draft: 11 Dec

Arbitration figures traded: mid-Jan

Somewhere in there, free-agents and trades are supposed to happen too.

Some interesting Rule 5 Draft Targets at first glance:
Ryan Webb(CLE)
Chandler Champlain(KC)
Austin Gauthier(LAD)
Cooper Bowman(OAK)
Eiberson Castellano(PHI)
Kala’i Rosario(MIN)
Dom Hamel(NYM)
Mike Vasil(NYM)

Gonna do some more digging as there are certainly going to be intriguing RP available

I don’t want much for Christmas. Soto, Crochet, Sasaki, Scott, Holmes and a RH stick! How about Willson Contreras 🤣
