If Casas doesn't hit 30 dingers this year, Bres will have Guerrero's agent on speed dial....

that would be a horrible mistake. we already have one future DH, and at least he's making almost half of that and is at least consistent

15 years is a nonstarter and is absurd. But Vlad should be fine to play 1B for a long time. His defense is passable over there(and definitely better than Casas), but the Sox aren’t going to pay up for him anyway. I’m not sure how many teams would be willing to do anything close to $500m for him.

The Yankees might just want to cancel Spring Training going forward:

Pretty sure Cole season is over

Pretty sure Cole season is over

Your intuition tends to be pretty good, but there is nothing indicating that is the case yet. He missed the first couple months last year and then came back really strong.

Red Sox are having their own injury issues:

-Devers hasn’t played at all yet and those shoulders are a concern.
-Bello hasn’t pitched yet and almost certainly won’t be ready for the start of the season.
-Giolito hasn’t pitched yet.
-Wilyer Abreu hasn’t appeared in a game yet.
-Casas(always a question mark) hasn’t been seen in a while.
-Yoshida won’t be ready for the start of the season.
-Kutter Crawford hasn’t even ramped up yet.

Lots of holes in that roster at the moment.

The quote I saw from Cole got me thinking he was told that

Yea Yankees got to make another move

Devers - Get back into shape but he will always be hurt
Bello - Pitcher so makes sense he's hurt
Giolito - Still questioning this signing
Abreu - Meh
Casas - as you said, always a question mark
Yoshida - Not a big loss... Wish the Red Sox actually traded him
Crawford - Did not know he was hurt... Damn!

Gunnar - intercostal injury, might miss opening day
Andrew Kittridge - signed to shore up bullpen - artroscopic knee surgery, out a few months
Greyson Rodriguez - tricep injury - might miss a start.

Not good for any team.

 

[bksballer89]

Everything im hearing pointing to TJ

 

[bksballer89]

As expected

 

[chappee11]

Damn. My condolences. That makes the Fried signing so much more important now.

 

[navamind]

As expected

really fucking sucks, even as a fan of a division rival. Hate to see anyone have their season possibly end before it begins, let alone a potential HOFer.

Rafael Devers also sends his condolences.

Tanaka got the same recommendation, did the blood platelet thing and was pitching 3-4 months later.

I guess we'll see what the 2nd opinion is

Don’t get your hopes up

In related news: Sandy Alcantara is on the block. This would be a great grab for NY. The dude won the CY in '22 and could probably be acquired on the cheap (coming off TJ)...

Could The Miami Marlins Be Getting Ready To Trade Sandy Alcantara?

When it comes to the Miami Marlins, there is always a sense that the other shoe is about to drop. Wednesday afternoon saw the Marlins make a welcome and necess
