Probably out on J.D. as well, unless they move Bradley Jr.

Sounds like they want J.D. so stay tuned.


Indians sign Lisalverto Bonilla

J.T. Realmuto has asked the Marlins for a trade. If they do trade him you have to think Dan Straily, and Christian Yelich would follow shortly. Man they are going to be so bad this year, may have to use them in MLB 18.

Heh, there goes that "We don't want Moreland next year" meme. They sign the guy for TWO more years?!

Jeter might have had the worst first few months in the history of the baseball front office. He and Michael Hill both seem totally out of their depth.

"We used the last couple of weeks continuing to lay the foundation for building a first-class, winning organization," Hill told ESPN on Monday. "Should we feel like we need to make a trade involving any of our under contract, controllable players, we will be the ones who initiate that conversation and always do what's best for the organization.''

Bruh.

Takes them out on Hosmer.

Nah. That's bench player money for the Red Sox. That contract, imo, has no bearing on Hosmer.

So if you read into the article where ShowTyme got that info from...

"We still continue to feel that we have the opportunity to add someone else to our club from an offensive perspective," Dombrowski said on a conference call. "That won't be a first baseman. But we feel we have a DH -- that between Hanley [Ramirez] and if I could find someone else - (and) outfield spots that would give us plenty of at-bats and opportunities for someone to contribute in a full-time fashion."

...it appears that it does take them out of the running, per Dave Dombrowski.

LOL that the ESPN dot com "author" misspelled Eric Hosmer's name in that article's headline. Who names their kid "Eris" ?

I didn't even read that article. I just figured if they brought Moreland back they would be moving on from Hosmer (everyone is reporting that since then). Makes no sense for them to have a 3 man rotation between DH and 1B with Hanley, Hosmer, and Moreland.

Christian Yelich has asked to meet with the front office to hear their plans for rebuilding the organization.

I actually think it does make sense if you consider Moreland more of a bench/UTIL type, which I do. He gave them 0.9 WAR last year as a regular and his new contract at $6.5MM/yr is not at all starting 1B money. That's how I see him. He can play a little corner OF as well.

You and I consider him that, but Boston doesn't seem to agree. Idk man maybe they will still try for Hosmer and JD. Dave Dombrowski has been known to do crazy things, but the way their team is constructed right now you think Moreland is at 1B and Hanley is at DH.


Apparently the Red Sox plan to use Hanley at DH most of the year so he can get his 497 PA's to allow his option to vest next season.
