It's pretty obvious to me. High K rate, solid WHIP, pitched competitively in a major market with intense scrutiny. The only real downside is HRs allowed, which I'm guessing other teams think they can mitigate.
@redseatradio Pivetta had improved his xERA from 4.65 to 3.98 to 3.51 since '22. His 6-12 record in '24 and some maddening intervening periods of inconsistency hid how well he's actually pitched. I don't agree w/fans' near universal "glad he's gone" response.
I'm always willing to point out when I'm wrong Breslow obviously knows what he's doing. Breslow looks like a genius and now they can sign a player with a qo without really losing anything. I'm hopeful for more good moves in the coming days 🤞
This is a very good step in the right direction for the Red Sox Hot Stove Season. Gives me hope that the front office is not liking the direction the team was going in.
Dobbins could be a Rick Procello. Garcia is also a right handed bat. You could see him up at some point this year. Especially, if Anthony and Campbell are not added yet and they have a player who is going to be out for a week or 2, Placers on the 40 man roster are not eligible for the rule 5 draft. The rest of the players on the list get moved to next years rule 5 list if they are not taken this year. I like Mata but I do not know if he would have made the team. It has been quite a long time since he pitched. I hope Mata goes to AAA and pitches there next year. If he is healthy being not on 40 man makes him more valuable .If he is not picked up by someone, he does not have to be added to the 40 man to the end of the season. I think after that he is a free agent.
Great video Corbin! Hopefully I’m able to make it tonight to the stream one question though, where do the Sox go from here? After fried or snell or do we do the super team with Soto and Vladdy
Great question I think that depends on how those specific markets play out. Are they going to have to overspend on a pitcher to get them here? Well then maybe the next step is a pivot or vis versa
Ya got 40 spots, and to put your team in the best position for today and tomorrow, sometimes ya gotta let go of yesterday and move on from someone you'd rather keep. I'm good with all these moves. Nice analysis, as usual, Corbin. Thanks.
Great video Corbin ! I would have also rolled the dice on Pivetta. I was fairly sure he would be looking for more than a year . I knew we would have a second round pick coming back and I love that deal ! Pivetta at times had some really good stuff but was not as consistent as I would have liked. Maybe we can draft a young pitcher with that pick . That being said I think Pivetta is quite the competitor and I will miss having him on the team. I do think it was a good move for the future of the team. Its time for this team to go after Fried or Burnes. We need an ace and some bullpen help. I think we should sign another above average started as well. Pitching is the game.
Dobbins was a no brainer and Mata actually is probably pretty safe because he was on the 40 and the IL all year so I don't think anyone will risk a 26-man spot for that but we will see
@@redseatradio I think he will likely stay with us but if anything a trade where he could be put on a 40-man and not a 26-man meaning not a Rule 5 pick
I don’t know why fans got nervous about Pivetta accepting his QA. He does have stuff, is not 37 yrs old and will get multiple offers from contending teams looking to sure up the back of their rotations. He will have a great season, if he lands in the right spot. Then, it’ll be the same revisionist Chris Sale fans, freaking out about how big ‘o fans they were of Pivetta. As far Jhostynxon, you’re dead on. They needed to make the move. He was never going to make it through the rule #5 draft. He’s a perfect trade chip. I actually really like him but they have so much corner outfield depth. He makes so much sense for a team like the White Sox. He’s the type of prospect I’d want if I was in their position. I mean, I’d definitely be asking for Anthony, Campell , Teel etc. But Breslow has almost certainly made Chicago aware of who’s on and off the table by now. I think Crochet to Boston is a forgone conclusion. Just leave Wilyer out of the deal, please! 🙏🏼 That kid is a throwback to the type of ball player that made me fall in love with this game. Once he figures out the strike zone and how to take advantage of the Monster, as a Left handed hitter, he’ll become a legend around here. If he has to go for Crochet, I guess… 🤷🏻♂️But I’d be reluctant about letting him go. The dude plays the game the way it was meant to be played and should be there as an influence on the team. Especially, with all the younger players expected be with the big club very soon. ✌🏻
I feel like two moves directly impacted something yesterday… trading for Garrett crochet. I think they took the risk on pivetta because they wanted to be able to sign a QO guy without any draft compensation. And they probably wouldn’t be bothered with that in a big signing like fried or burnes. So my thinking is they did that so they could go hard on Teo and try and trade for crochet. The second thing was protecting Jhostynxon. Seems like the perfect fit for a trade piece for crochet
At the deadline the noise you heard was a collective sign of relief from Sox Nation. Also do you think the Sox missed out in protecting any other players that are now Eligible for Rule 5. Should be interesting to see who the Sox lose and who they gain if anyone.
Idk if it was risky. His metrics are exactly what teams are looking for. Top of the scales IVB, top of the scales breaking ball. Top of the scales stuff+ and location+ K-BB rate higher than most. Ppl don’t want to admit how much of a dumpster fire bloom’s tenure was from a pitching development standpoint. He was on the way this year with breslow but he’ll catch on somewhere else and fans who were willing to drive him to Logan will say “oh gee; I wish we had a guy like that on the roster” the same way they said that about Sale all season long. He doesn’t have the ceiling of Sale but he could easily be a durable 2/3 starter for another team and they will miss him when he’s gone
I was dumbfounded as well.The question now is who would be willing to give up that pick to have Pivetta? Does the pick comp disappear if he isn't signed by a certain date?
He just simply has to sign like we saw with Snell/monty last year that could be all the way into end of spring training. I don’t think there is a very hard deadline no
Sign Hernandez for right. Trade Story and Abreu (and a prospect?) for Castillo, Haniger, and Garver (Red Sox taking on the latter two contracts so that the M's take Story's). Trade Yoshida for Montgomery. Rafaela plays short until Mayer is ready. Perhaps go after Donovan to play second until Campbell is ready.
Corbin, I was a bit surprised at Mata and Campbell's DFA's. I liked them both better than Shugart and Horn. I realize most fans didn't love Blaze Jordan enough to protect, but I liked Monegro and Jordan more than Garcia and Dobbins. Maybe the Sox really hated Campbell's mustache. LOL
I was surprised to see we protected one catcher, not counting Mickey Gasper. They did sign veteran catcher Seby Zavala but I think he's a depth piece in Worcester....I agree with you Corbin on OF Jhostynxon Garcia as trade bait for a Crochet deal. Garcia is a good prospect but honestly I don't see him sticking around. I see a team like the Rockies or A's interested in Mata......
It's a great thing that Pivetta did not take the QO. Very smart gamble by Breslow and it's a nice place to be with a 2nd rounder. Unfortunately Mata just could not stay healthy so that move makes sense.Cambell just needs a new team and a reset not the Red Sox. All in all the moves made sense
Pads fan curious on your thoughts... BOS: Cease, Waldron, Cronenworth (with some $) SD: Kristian Campbell and Arias or Cespedes. Or swap out Waldron for Robert Suarez, but you eat the Crone $. So this gives you a TOR for one year (and possible advantage in signing him), Crone fixes the woeful 2B defense, and Waldron is under control for 5 years and showed some Wakefield potential in stretches in his first year. This upgrades your pitching and defense, and helps us get younger and offsets our big salaries.
if the Red Sox were giving up two top prospects including one that would be ready in 2025 why would they not go after a higher ceiling player in Crochet who you can contol at a lower cost?
@@robertchflynn Because you also get 2 other MLB players with long term control. Crochet only has 2 years, Cease has 1. And Cease was 4th in CY voting, had a no hitter and was better than Crochet in most stats. My solution has way more value. With my trade you get the TOR and upgrade 2B and get a high upside #5 SP Knuckleballer on a rookie contract (or, a top closer with years of control). It solves more than 1 problem without having to make more moves to upgrade your 1B/2B defense problems and closer/back end rotation problems. But if you don't like the trade, that's fine.
They would have been crazy not to protect Hunter Dobbins. After all he was their minor league starting pitcher of the year. We desperately need to invest in our young pitching especially when they show the kind of promise that he has. This is the kinda home grown talent that makes me smile Corbin. You know how I feel about home grown pitching.
I am not sad to see Pivetta go. To many times I witnessed the Redsox offense spot him 3 run leads for him to pitch 3 solid innings and give up a 3-run HR the second time through the line up. I appreciate the workhorse he was but I am so glad he passed on the $21M. That being said the Redsox NEED to sign or trade for big name talent this offseason. They are a stale team with not a great deal of excitement for fans to rally behind. They have some solid pieces but the need to get the fans behind them again and bring the excitement back to Fenway. Go Sox!
My sense is Jhostynxon is being added to protect him as a trade chip for this off-season. Interesting that Michael Fulmer and to a lesser extent Monegro were not protected. As for who they chose to DFA, I understand Campbell. I would have chosen Bailey Horn before Mata. I would prefer to see what we have in Mata when he is healthy. Hope it does not come back to haunt us.
@@redseatradio may see some trades / DFAs Friday as it is the non-tender deadline. Also I see the Sox signed a catcher to a minor league agreement. Seby Zavala. Can’t hit for sh*!, but defensive metrics look good.
Thought Sox made a mistake not protecting Fulmer although hurt last year they essentially signed him to a 2 year to see what he had left this year doesn’t really make sense to sign him to a 2 year let him rehab all year for you then not protect him ?
The fact that pitching-smart teams like the Astros and Rays apparently covet Pivetta gives me a bad feeling he is going to go somewhere and compete for Cy Young, and everybody is going to be kicking themselves that once again, like Sale and Wacha and Eovaldi, we let a perfectly good starting pitcher go when we're desperately searching for starting pitching.
Pivetta just gave a gift to the Red Sox. A draft pick for compensation of losing him. Better than losing him for nothing. Sox had to move on from him anyways. Way too inconsistent
Not to undervalue adding prospects, but draft picks to me are irrelevant in baseball trade talks. If a draft pick ends up becoming an All-Star that you trade away or lose as a comp pick, so be it. But this isn’t football or basketball. Unless you’re a true talent like Trout or Skenes, draft round is a joke. Look at how many stars today are like 11th round picks. Sign Soto. Sign Fried. Lose the 1 comp pick. I’ll definitely be ok with that.
so they can give pivetta the QO but couldnt give it to TO or martin? ik he didnt take it but im confused lol. anyway dobbins in fine hes got potential and should be coming up soon. garcia is confusing to me. we couldnt keep monegro bc he was in high a and he wasnt ready. why keep garcia on the 40 man if he still in double a? are they gonna promote him to triple a or something? plus where does garcia fit in the OF? we already stacked out there
Okay Snidely Whiplash! You never factored his RS value correctly. 2.5 WAR x 8 million per 1 WAR = 20 million value. You always put his Philadelphia stats into his current value. The RS got him for Brandon Workman too! You are selling Brewslow short too much for last year's cheapskate off-season because of Henry's stinginess. Mata had to go because he wasn't going to make next year's roster opening meaning his DFA decision was only going to be delayed. Campbell still is an interesting guy given his past performance. Bailey Horne's DFA seemed more guaranteed. Breslow 1 Corbin 0
I have being yapping about Pivetta's value to you for a long time. Same as the Mookie trade for all people on your site claiming that the RS got fleeced. They completely ignored that the 2020 RS team had an overwhelming expensive underperforming team with a horrible farm system. Bloom made the difficult decision but necessary choice.
Time will tell, but I think NP is going to regret this decision. As you said , he’s not a front of the rotation pitcher. 21 million is a very good offer. Good luck Nick.

Shock that Povetta did that. Wish him the best. Good for us.
You're welcomed.. have a great night.
Breslow read the room. He realizes Pivetta was ready to move on to longer contact restart with different team. Pivetta is a good dude, Thanks Corbin!
yeah he read it really really well
I was undervaluing Nick …I don’t understand his value it escapes me…props to the Red Sox brass on this one.
Yeah I dont think a lot of people expected this to end up happening
Pitchers are going up in value so it doesn't surprise me that Nick declined and I think the Red Sox played it brilliantly

I was hoping he would stay. Pivetta has been a fairly consistent and reliable starter with flashes of brilliance. He'll do well wherever he ends up.
