Those 4-outfielder path with Yoshida still rostered seems a less than optimal path. Even with Rafaela at 2B, it robs Cora of the flexibility he prefers.

Please consider a show centered on Yoshida (apologies if I missed one previously). Good player without a good fit in Boston. How might the Sox move on creatively?

Thanks for the reasoned, dispassionate commentary on winter meetings. I’ve become a greater Breslow fan over time. He has an approach that is not in keeping with the fans or many in the media. His approach makes me think and I like it.

We take some things too seriously … and other things not seriously enough.

So the Sox didn’t make an offer?

Breslow doesn’t think like the fans, or the media. The Crochet and Bregman deals came without a lot of warning last year. I’m wondering what is still below the surface … and glad that the Birds are living up to the expectations of the division.

Got more than Schwarber!

Roster spot

Ask Boras if the Red Sox get a multi-player discount for signing both Alonso and Bregman.

Drew Pomeranz?? I thought he and Breslow Red Sox teammates!

Dwight Evans slighted again

Venezuela seems an extremely risky place given the developing conflict with the current administration.
