Y2Jimmy0 Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 I don’t have much interest in trading Hendriks for catching help. I hope they get a lot more than Danny Jansen if the Jays are the team. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 He's a good signing. But please study his stats a bit before doing handstands. He does not hit for power, just doesn't. He had a good BA with the Royals last season, not with NYY. Whatever ... he's better than our signings of the past and I don't want to be a jerk, but he's not all that. He's OK though and I'll take it. Welcome Bennie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were me, I’d do the following to wrap up the off-season: Trade Ramos, Vera/Mena & Sosa/Romy to TB for Lowe Trade Hendriks to TOR for Jansen and a pitching prospect Trade Zavala to TBD team for a live arm with options Sign Adam Duvall to a 1/$7M deal Sign Alex Reyes to a 1/$2M deal Run with this for next year: Lineup: 1) Anderson, SS | 2) Benintendi*, LF | 3) Vaughn, 1B | 4) Jimenez, DH | 5) Lowe, 2B* | 6) Robert, CF | 7) Moncada, 3B# | C) Jansen*, C | 9) Colas*, RF Bench: IF) Gonzalez | OF) Duvall | UT) Garcia# | BC) Grandal# Rotation: 1) Cease | 2) Lynn | 3) Giolito | 4) Kopech | 5) Clevinger Bullpen: CL) Lopez | SU) Graveman | SU) Bummer* | MR) Kelly | MR) Diekman* | MR) Reyes | MR) Ruiz/Lambert | LR) Avila Don’t hate it, but I need a damn good pitching prospect in that Toronto deal.

The Sox are currently at a $182 million payroll and they still have 2B, 4th OFer, and possibly another catcher as spots they need to fill. The Benintendi signing makes that pretty clear. However, if they're willing to either salary dump Graveman or Kelly, I'd be ok with that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes walks so maybe he could get his OBP to up around .350. If he could hit 10 Hrs and keep his slg. at .400 or so a .750 OPS from him wouldn't be bad at all. Haven't checked on his fielding.

It wouldn’t surprise me if they are. A cost cutting move definitely feels like it’s coming next, and probably soon. I just hope it’s something that we don’t hate.

Losing Liam really shows on that pen. Yes, I’d want a solid pitching prospect that can provide some SP depth. That being said, Crochet will be back at some point and we can always “argument” the bullpen in season to use a Rick Hahn word. I think that bullpen can be good enough though, especially if Reyes can bounce back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T R U Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 I’ll save my judgement for when we find out who is getting shipped out to accommodate this signing. Generally when you hear your team just signed someone to the richest contract in team history you expect better than Andrew Benintendi. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
