"Yonito" as Chirinos is often called, posted a 6-7 record with a 3.70 ERA so far this season in about 100 IP. The Foxes sent Yonny Chirinos, considered a very solid control artist, along with young 3B Anderson Alexander Tejada, prospect 2B Josh Zamudia, and cash considerations to the Red Sox for Devers and a trio of prospects, RF Bryan Gonzales and pitchers Drew Rom and Owen Meaney. The two GMs came to an agreement that could help both clubs. The Foxes have almost the opposite situation.an offense that's producing everything but runs with a staff that's generally competitive.
On the penultimate day of the trading season, the Red Sox got busy and one of their trading partners was the Foxes.īoston is in need of pitching, owning the second best offense in the AL.and it's worst pitching staff. The Red Sox are in 3rd place in the AL Wild Card race while the Foxes are in a complete logjam mess of both the NL East and the NL Wild Card races. The Red Sox and Foxes are both in tough races. What others might see as trade bait, the Foxes see as part of their future franchise faces. Yanluis Ortiz, a third-baseman like Leto, ranks #88. Nick Britsko, a promising corner outfielder, ranks #74. Luke Leto, ranks #17 as he appears on the top 200 list for the first time. Juan Salas, ranked #9, got a taste of big league action this spring and showed flashes of his potential at the plate. Even if such a player was presented, would the Foxes, who have stayed patient and still intending to develop the core through the draft and international prospects, undo all of that to land a big bat in trade?Ĭhances are, the Foxes would let the farm work. Where this bat comes from, he wouldn't elaborate, and there's not a lot of places externally to acquire that power. But they could really use a top level power threat - an ideally right-handed 40+ homer guy - to really threaten even the top pitchers, " the writer commented. is who they are banking on, and he, along with Royce Lewis, are improving. One writer said that he "just can't get behind a team that's about relievers and defense", while another said that the Foxes were one big, preferably right-handed bat from being a true threat. BNN is basically refusing to make a call in that race, pegging the Nats, Mets, Foxes, Dodgers, and Cardinals all between 83 and 87 wins.įor the Foxes, BNN is still concerned about their offense. Where do the Foxes fit in all this? They are one of the teams that will be in a tooth-and-claw fight for one of the NL Wild Cards. Why second? Because the Braves, the defending champs, are still the best team in baseball. The Reds take the Central, the Dodgers will have to fight for their lives, and the entire NL East will kill each other for second place. The Padres are expected to come out of nowhere to take the NL West.and that's without Tatis, Jr. will take the AL East while the Mariners, who "won" the offseason by WAR.will be in 4th place. 500, Ohtani and all, the Yankees and their expected 270 home runs.will miss the playoffs, while the Blue Jays, led by phenom Vladimir Guerrero, Jr. Through it all, BNN is predicting some serious changes in the balance of power. Many a player will hit the waiver wire and what's sure to be utter chaos. Indeed, that sentiment was echoed in front offices across the league. "Why did they agree to this, " Lyle muttered as he looked over the roster. The new season has arrived along with its shiny new 24-man rosters.
