I bet we see a platoon with Sheets.

He’s absolutely terrible in the outfield

They’re very similar players, and if Madrigal played in the minors his age 25 season, probably would have put up insane numbers. No one disliked his time with the Sox more than Harold and I, but he put up ridiculous defensive numbers last year. I know I posted the YouTube highlights from Ortiz time in the majors last year, and it was shocking how similar their hitting styles were. I don’t particular like the fit for the Brewers with Ortiz, as you’re not getting nearly enough power from 3/4 of your future infield in Turang, Ortiz and Black.

And now we have to worry about if 2022 was actually a fluke. Was hoping that would be another team’s problem.

Way less

He’s connected to the USC program. It was also interesting that Caleb’s dad directed Shane Riordan to their PR guy after denying Caleb didn’t want to play for the Bears to him a few months ago.

Wonder if Brewers trade Williams to Yankees now

Robert Murray today said they’re out

Jerry doesn’t like to pay for pitching, so why wouldn’t he want his FO to focus on getting cheap pitching

Brewers are also a team looking for more immediate contributors

I never got the sense the Sox were even close to a deal with Orioles. I strongly believe the Sox want a starting pitcher as the headliner.

I’d rather have Arias than Jones

And Getz turned off teams by asking for too much

Allows them a year to get their ownership stuff situated even more. It’s an amazing deal for them.

Yep, this was them punting this year in order to backfill SP and SS after Burnes/Adames left.

Yamamoto picking the Dodgers was brutal for Getz

Why? They went with the guy who has one year left on his deal.

I think a big piece is also still to be added to the deal

This isn’t an indictment on Getz at all. If this was the quality of players they were giving up, no thanks.

What the hell are the Brewers doing giving up on their season

Cowherd made it sound like him and his dad will make the Wash pick happen

Cowherd today said he’s heard Caleb Williams doesn’t want to play for Bears. Commanders is the team he wants to play for.

Yeah, it was a painful segment IMO. I thought he quit being a Sox fan after Benetti left?

Didn’t seem like anything really sourced, but Bruce mentioned Orioles, Dodgers, Mariners and Rangers as options today. He clarified his stance that Cease being dealt before ST starts was his opinion.

Soler would hit 40 homers if he played a full year for the Sox. He’s made KC and Miami parks look much shorter than they are.
