It's popular to speculate about, enough that Breslow and Casas have both commented on it. The plan would be to move Devers to first. Something Breslow says they aren't discussing. I think it mostly has to do with it being Boston, the press thereSeattle or Bust wrote: ↑Thu Nov 07, 2024 1:41 amThere were rumors that he was upset about the trade b/c his family is all in Tampa.
They do need a right-handed bat. Why trade Casas for one when they're not struggling for $$ and could easily re-sign Tyler O'Neill?

Yep, Florida has a lot of Afro-Carribean types: Alot of Cubans, but also P.R., D.R, etc. And I imagine the Florida climate feels like home for him. But he is an adult and has the financial ability to move his family up here during the season or for longer home stands and chose to have the offseason back there.D-train wrote: ↑Thu Nov 07, 2024 2:32 amHe is from Cuba. Probably liked being in FL.

Sewald is a free agent. He didn't have the best year, though it was far from disastrous. It looks like his stuff ticked down a bit but I think there was an injury. I don't know what his market is, but if he's in the bargain aisle he might be a good option.

It's a split ticket, but a couple of the prognosticators have us landing Gleyber Torres, and couple have us landing Hyeseong Kim, and one lone pundit has us landing Bregman.

Probably one of the weirder stat lines out.
He pitched in one of the easiest hitter's parks in baseball... but spun an opponent OPS of .542 at home and .894 on the road.

I know we've talked about David Bednar on here from time to time. Looks like he had kind of a shit season in 2024. I wonder if he's a guy you could pick up on the cheap, or relatively cheap anyway, compared to what he would have cost a year ago. Relievers have these seasons from time to time. He would come with 2 years of control but probably wouldn't cost too much now that the shine is off. Mariners might not want to pay him though.
