"I'm considering Bo Bichette, but until we actually get past the checkout with Bregman ( "Only 1 available, and it's in 4 other carts"), I'm not sure. If Bregman doesn't return, let's get Bichette at third base. There's room for him at second (maybe?) if we clear room in the outfield and commit to keeping Ceddanne Rafaela in centerfield, where he belongs."
"How about Framber Valdez near the top of our rotation for a contract in the neighborhood of six years and $168M? With the groundballs he generates, it's a good thing we already have Bregman in our shopping cart-and that the Sox as an organization will lean more into defense moving forward. Can we still hold out hope for Joe Ryan via the trade route? Yes, because with a Triston, a Tristan, and two Grays on the roster"
Craig Breslow should prioritize re-signing Alex Bregman, projected at about five years and $160 million. Sonny Gray was a fair value but is not considered a true Number Two starter. Framber Valdez fits near the top of the rotation and could command roughly six years and $168M because of his groundball profile. The club can pursue Joe Ryan through trade, using roster redundancies to chase returns. First base remains uncertain given faith in Triston Casas, but Pete Alonso is a plausible option near five years and $125M. Bo Bichette serves as a contingency if Bregman departs while preserving Ceddanne Rafaela in centerfield is emphasized.
