I was listening to the Detroit broadcast of that game because there was no Pirates broadcast available and the head Detroit PbP guy went into a rant about pitchers having to bat in Bradenton.

It's cool, the Tigers are going to suck whether pitchers bat or not, just deal.

Anyway, now I'm living in Colorado again and going back to following the Red Sox for this season, but I gotta say.... am I out of touch, or does this team look especially, um.... spotty and mediocre? I mean... this could be a good team, I guess. But it feels like this 2021 team is gonna be really young, or am I wrong? This really, really looks like the mythical "rebuilding" year, I gotta say.

The Cespedes BBQ kids had the Sox in their could win 70, could win 90 bracket when they were ranking the AL, and that seems about right to me. Say what you will about the Mookie trade (and I will), but the team did spend money this offseason. If everything breaks right, this team could be the 2013 Sox redux, which I know sounds ludicrous, but honestly the two rosters have similar vibes to me. If the pitching stays healthy/competent, and they find a closer (miss you Koji) the team will be competitive.

I think the Red Sox will surprise this year and I could see them finishing above the Jays, honestly.

Bryant is as good as gone and I expect him to be traded at the deadline; there's too much bad blood between him and the organization and the team is already planting stories in the Tribune and Sun-Times about how they plan to move forward without him. Baez is going to get the "we tried" PR play, the Cubs will make a big show about trying to retain him, but ultimately he will be allowed to walk. Rizzo will retire a Cub.

I will wear my Bryant crested jersey until the day I die

Back in December the Reds traded their closer Raisel Iglesias, and his $9M salary, to the Angels for Noe Ramirez, a mediocre RP. Today they cut Ramirez, who has re-signed with the Angels. So yep they salary dumped their closer.

Mike Soroka is going to throw an inning or two in tomorrow's game. He needs to stretch out still but the plan still seems to be having him back in the rotation by late April.

Might be time for Felix to settle down into retirement and enjoy the roughly $216M he's made over the course of his career. He Capital D Does not have it any more, and it feels like all he's going to accomplish at this point is to permanently ruin what's left of his body.

Another spring commute

The talk that the Cubs were going to try and extend Javy/Rizzo/Bryant were always going to just end with "we tried!" because Ricketts was never willing to spend what those guys are actually worth in FA. Rizzo's already taken an extremely team friendly deal, he's under zero obligation to take a second one and good for him for deciding to walk unless the tune changes.

If the Cubs aren't absolutely killing it I expect them to go into full firesale mode come the TDL.
