My guess is that they will sign a free agent SP... not for big money, though.
They may wheel and deal to swap out guys like Walker and Gorman, too.

Re: Matz to Red Sox
Any free agent signings will be along the Gibson and Lynn signings in my opinion add a starter on one year contracts. I just don’t see them sign any free agents to long term contracts with the work stoppage in 2027 coming. I think bloom will make some trades to clear out some of the clutter and create a spot for JJRunSup wrote: ↑31 Jul 2025 00:13 amThey need a 5th and 6th SP next year. Graceffo / Leahy could be it when stretched out.Ozziesfan41 wrote: ↑31 Jul 2025 00:07 amThey said really like Graceffo as a back end of the rotation option. Lehay would be an interesting option also since he pitches you a lot and can go multiple innings maybe coming into the eighth if there’s trouble and pitch the rest of it and the ninth. Cards have some really good late inning potentials And with helsley gone the auditions for next years closer are underwayRunSup wrote: ↑31 Jul 2025 00:00 amYep. And I forgot about Graceffo. They'll be able to figure out the bullpen.Strummer Jones wrote: ↑30 Jul 2025 23:59 pmI think O'Brien probably takes the 9th now. But I don't rule out Graceffo. There were rumblings that he might be the heir apparent. Lots of parallels between him and Helsley.RunSup wrote: ↑30 Jul 2025 23:55 pmO'Brien can bring it at 100 MPH. Maybe draw the connection from Helsley there.Strummer Jones wrote: ↑30 Jul 2025 23:41 pmKinda figured we'd get a AAA/AAAA lefty somewhere. Matz is gone, King sucks and is hurt, and Romero might be packing his bags.cardstatman wrote: ↑30 Jul 2025 23:34 pm Some Memphis relief pitchers are gettin' excited.
Might need to travel to San Diego tomorrow.
King to IL --> Graceffo
Helsley --> Granillo?
Matz --> Mosqueda?
Maton --> Fernandez?
Zach Thompson is coming of the IL. If he gets healthy and effective out of the pen, could replace Matz. I don't know much about Mosqueda.
CT will freak when there are no FA signings again this off season. The bloom will go off the Bloom.

Re: Matz to Red Sox
Y'know, they could pivot right now and go get a Cease or even Alcantra, if they liked what he did against the a couple of days ago.cardstatman wrote: ↑31 Jul 2025 00:18 am My guess is that they will sign a free agent SP... not for big money, though.

Re: Matz to Red Sox
I like this deal
C. Bloom acquired a kid he knows well.
Blaze Jordan has some potential to be better than the suspects Mo got from the Mutts.

Re: Matz to Red Sox
I like this trade WAY better than the Mets deal. This is the approach that they should've taken for a guy like Helsley. Minor leaguer would've been fine, but one who's close and possibly blocked, like Blaze.rockondlouie wrote: ↑31 Jul 2025 08:52 am I like this deal

Fingers crossed this kid pans out.
