GM/Coach perspective of mainly Red Sox, but most of MLB Formerly “2Seam”

[MLB Opz ⚾️ @MLBopz]

Throwback to the only #0 in Red Sox history, Brandon Phillips, making his Sox debut by completing a 7-run deficit with this go-ahead blast down to our final out.

One of the cleanest, more underrated HR pimp-jobs in recent memory.

Another example of everything in ‘18 going right

“If I get ball first, 11-10 me” vs ANTHONY EDWARDS

I don’t even know what you could call this type of statement

[SportsCenter NEXT @SCNext]

Jerzy Robinson is standing on business 😤

TRISTAN GRAY TRADE…weird one 😵‍💫

But signals to me confidence in Marcelo Mayer which I love 💕

Gray Savant was RED in a small sample. But 3B LHH that i thought was great value and Marcelo Mayer insurance.

Glove was underwhelming and we are emphasizing that headed into 2025

[Coach Murph ⚾️ @coachmurphshow]

CODY BELLINGER BACK TO NYY

He was never getting 7/200.

Fine value for Yankees. He’ll hit in Yankee stadium. Good glove. Middle of the order bat.

Probably Wouldn’t have same success elsewhere.

Can collect 60+M and enter market again if CBA is favorable. If not, he locks in 160M+

Running back the same squad? 👀

[Coach Murph ⚾️ @coachmurphshow]

Getting Sonny Gray could deweaponize teams with starters like Freddy Peralta, Joe Ryan, etc. It's my belief that Sonny Gray is not the No. 2 starter Craig has been talking about. He definitely could pitch like one, but especially this early in offseason, I think more to come

We have a Marcelo Mayer autographed ball that needs a good home! 🎁

According to @PeteAbe, other teams have the impression that the Red Sox are willing to trade Triston Casas this offseason.

Would be strange to sell so low on a player with as much upside as Casas has when he still has options.

We claimed Romy Gonzalez off waivers btw

MLB affiliated account continue be to absurd.

No Trey Yesavage or Cam Schlittler

And I love Marcelo Mayer,

But how is his projected LTV greater than Roku Sasaki or Jacob Misiorowski??

(Or Baldwin??)

[MLB Pipeline @MLBPipeline]

Which rookies have the most long-term value?

Jim Callis ranks the top 40: https://t.co/0jccfKUgRS

[MLB Opz ⚾️ @MLBopz]

@tylermilliken_ AAA for Casas??

[MLB Opz ⚾️ @MLBopz]

Triston Casas being criminally slept on. Injuries are a concern but he could be a different maker middle of the lineup. 30 bomb .370 OBP potential

@HebHammer94 Cmon man

[MLB Opz ⚾️ @MLBopz]

@RafaelaEnjoyer He was underrated

[Gordo @BOSSportsGordo]

This is where Eaton was when Jazz was gearing up to throw to first. If Eaton hadn’t slowed up…

🔺If Jazz gets Yoshida, inning over.

🔺If throw gets away (like it did), Eaton walks home.

🔺If Yoshida beats clean throw, Rice (1st percentile arm strength) has to turn from a stretch and make a perfect strike to get Eaton (98th percentile sprint speed) at home.

With the bats scuffling, have to go for it. Have to. And he’d have been safe and given the Sox the lead in the 7th.

[Gordo @BOSSportsGordo]

@RafaelaEnjoyer Love the energy but you’re reaching here. We got plenty of legit ammo we don’t need to reach

[MLB Opz ⚾️ @MLBopz]

@redsoxpayroll How does the Bernardino option not count? Good tweet btw

[G.G. @ggeiss_mlb]

People aren't talking about Connelly Early enough.

Among all MLB SP in 2025 (min. 15 IP), Early has the best FIP (0.91), T-2nd best K% (37%), and T-3rd best zCon% (79%).

Pair that with 16% SwStr / 30% CSW? Gross. He's going to be monumental for this org.

His 7 Ks vs. DET ⬇️

[MLB Opz ⚾️ @MLBopz]

My lineup tomorrow:

Romy 1B
Bregman 3B
Refsnyder RF
Story SS
Yoshida DH
Rafaela CF
Narvaez C
Duran LF
Sogard 2B

[Matthew Crory @matthewcrory]

I don’t think we are giving Romy Gonzalez enough credit for the season he’s had and the role he’s played in getting the Red Sox to the post season.

He’s been talked about like a platoon bat but looking at his splits he is a GOOD player who deserves full time opportunities.

Season Line: At 1B, 2B and 3B
123 wRC+
.305 AVG
.826 OPS
9 HR
53 RBI
6 SB
1.5 fWAR

Now take a look at the splits:

VS Lefties:
143 Plate Appearances
162 wRC+
.331 AVG
.978 OPS
19 XBH
2 Triples
7 Home Runs
25 RBI

VS Righties:
198 Plate Appearances
95 wRC+
.286 AVG
.718 OPS
16 XBH
1 Triple
2 Home Runs
28 RBI

He also had the clutch factor, with runners on base he hit .342 with a .908 OPS.

With RISP, .315 AVG/.874 OPS

He also is 99th percentile in Hard-Hit % at 57.3%!
95th Percentile in Average Exit Velocity at 93.3 mph

THANK YOU ROMY 🫡
