Can't imagine this is *good* news for Nolan Arenado wrt aging and his lost power.

Red Sox fans dying to trade Casas and Mayer at their lowest values is so puzzling.

I couldn’t agree with Ed more. This whole “rumor” of wanting to move Raffy off of 3rd is so dumb and unserious for a multitude of reasons…. (🧵)
I don't actually hate Arenado but not if it means trading Casas. I just don't think moving Devers off third is as urgent as others do. He's fine when he has a good defensive shortstop. Waste of resources.

From an AVG EV standpoint Meidroth is solid. But the higher end EVs aren’t there and his launch angles are not great leading to really poor barrel rates. Reminds me a bit of Ke’Bryan Hayes but Hayes hits the ball harder

Not as vehemently against the Arenado rumors as many seems to be. What I would be vehemently against would be trading Casas so that Raffy could move to 1B if they dealt for Arenado. That would be next level brain dead stuff. If you want to move Raffy off of 3B, just make him a DH.

Wrote about two secondary extremes of Corbin Burnes to consider as he makes his free agent case: something he's elite at, and something he was worst in baseball at

Two overlooked extremes of Corbin Burnes
Corbin Burnes is maybe the most interesting free-agent starting pitcher available (non-Roki Sasaki division), and it’s not hard to see why. Over the past four seasons, the four-time All-Star and 2021 ...

Per source, Mike Napoli will be joining Terry Francona and the Reds in some capacity. Had been Cubs’ first base coach.

Red Sox announce that Bailey Horn has been claimed by Detroit on waivers and that Bryan Mata and Isaiah Campbell have been non-tendered.

Non-tendering those two, who had been DFA, means they aren't exposed to waivers. Opens the door to potentially re-sign one or both to minor league deals.
