* Text Features The Boston Red Sox Tuesday, November 17, 2020 * The Boston Globe Alex Cora has returned to an improved scenario for the Red Sox Chad Finn Think they’ve told Alex Cora about the state of the starting rotation yet? The last time he was here, before his “mutual parting” and his one-year suspension for his bang-the-trash- can-slowly role in the 2017 Astros' cheating scandal, the Red Sox endured a disappointing season. They plummeted to 84 wins, or 24 fewer than they won in 2018 when they stormed their way to their fourth World Series title this century. They missed the playoffs, and without much suspense. That ’19 team was still rich with talent, even if most of the pitching staff underperformed and/or struggled with injuries. The Red Sox did get 113 starts out of Chris Sale, David Price, Eduardo Rodriguez, and Rick Porcello in ’19, the four starters who were the backbone of the ’18 champs. Not one of them started a game for the Red Sox in 2020. The longstanding prediction that Sale would someday blow out his elbow came true, 10 seasons into his superb career. Rodriguez missed the whole season with COVID-19 complications. Porcello signed with the Mets and pitched like a guy who didn’t have many options besides signing with the Mets, and Price escaped to Los Angeles in the Mookie Betts trade, then opted out of the season. As far as sequels go, I thought that ’19 season was pretty much the real life equivalent of “Major League 2.” But then I looked up “Major League 2” on “Rotten Tomatoes,” and discovered it has a brutal 5 percent rating among critics. So last season – when the Red Sox didn’t fall off by 24 games, but actually won just 24 games total in the most bizarre abbreviated season that we will hopefully ever witness — well, yeah, that was our “Major League 2” of a Red Sox season. Brutal. I’m being facetious, of course. Cora knew about the pitching and everything else that has changed since he last wrote out a lineup card on Sept. 29, 2019, with Mookie Betts’s name at the top. That he came back is foremost a sign that there wasn’t a better gig out there for him (he should have been the White Sox' choice over Tony La Russa). But it also suggests that he’s copacetic with what chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom has in the works to escape this malaise of the past two seasons. And there’s reason to be optimistic about Bloom’s capabilities, even after all of that. [Makes sweeping gesture at the entire 2020 season.] He’s already made clever, beneficial trades. No one has chirped more often than me about the foolishness of trading Betts, and if you’re one of those correspondents asking if I’ll ever write another Sox column again without mentioning him, the answer is yes, in 2027. I hate — that is the right word, hate — that they traded him. But that decision most likely was made before Bloom swapped in his Rays polo shirt for a Red Sox one. And if he had to absolutely make the move, he did pretty well. Alex Verdugo is an energetic, well-rounded player who may even make a couple of All-Star teams. Jeter Downs has a terrible name, but he is promising enough that colleague Alex Speier rates him in Baseball America as the team’s No. 2 prospect. He should be the regular second baseman in a season or two and hopefully will have changed his name to Nomar Downs by then. Connor Wong could be a versatile bench option with the ability to catch. It was a trade that never should have been made, but we shouldn’t hold that against the interesting players Bloom got in return. More encouraging are the small deals he’s already won, in less than a full year on the job. Acquiring Nick Pivetta (who has a shot at cracking the rotation after an impressive late season audition) and Connor Seabold for relievers Heath Hembree and Brandon Workman is already a win. They were a pair of disasters for the Phillies, averaging a 9.27 ERA in 25 combined appearances. Both are now free agents. Bloom signed Kevin Pillar as a free agent and eventually dealt him for an interesting pitching prospect in Jacob Wallace, formerly of UConn. Mitch Moreland went to the Padres for pair of top-15 Red Sox prospects (per the valuable soxprospects.com) in outfielder Jeisson Rosario and corner infielder Hudson Potts. I wonder sometimes if we give Bloom too much credit for the Rays' knack for finding overlooked talent and making savvy secondary trades, since Erik Neander was the one ultimately making the decisions. But the early signs during his Sox tenure strongly suggest Bloom has that same ability. That bodes well for the approach to free agency as well. There is going to be an enormous pool of players to consider, from the 180-plus current free agents to the countless established players (see Brad Hand, for an early example) of players that will be non-tendered before the Dec. 2 deadline. There is going to be a golden, and perhaps unprecedented, opportunity to add quality players at reasonable to bargain rates this winter. I’m sure Cora has some suggestions on whom he would like to acquire, perhaps starting with former Astros and Rays starter Charlie Morton. Count me among those who don’t believe the Red Sox should pull a Dave Dombrowski and get heavily involved in pursuing the biggest-name free agents. National League Cy Young winner Trevor Bauer would change the entire landscape of that rotation, but his increased spin rate last season is … let’s say curious, and I suspect he’s a bauble new Mets owner Steve Cohen is going to covet. The best positional free agent is Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto, but the Red Sox would have to deal Christian Vazquez to pursue him, and that seems improbable, even if it isn’t a bad idea. Cora is coming back to a team that features three superb talents who are thrilled he’s back (Xander Bogaerts, Rafael Devers, and I’ll include J.D. Martinez here based on what he achieved playing for Cora). He’s coming to a team that has some promising young players that weren’t a part of this roster or were just arriving when he was last here (Verdugo, Tanner Houck, Bobby Dalbec, and Darwinzon Hernandez, another whose ’20 season was altered by the virus). And he’s coming back to a team that is going to mine that non-tender pool and the lower tiers of free agency for help. He has to be OK with that. There’s no Sale, at least until later in the season, no Price, and no Mookie. But it’s a much better scenario for everyone than last year, when Cora had no job, and the Red Sox had no chance. * MassLive.com 2021 Baseball Hall of Fame ballot: Curt Schilling, Roger Clemens, Manny Ramirez among five former Boston Red Sox players eligible for induction Chris Cotillo Five former Red Sox players -- pitchers Roger Clemens, Curt Schilling and Billy Wagner and outfielders Manny Ramirez and Shane Victorino -- are on the ballot for induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2021. Victorino is one of 11 first-time candidates on this year’s ballot. Schilling (9th year), Clemens (9th year), Wagner (6th year) and Ramirez (5th year) are also returning candidates. Voters can vote for up to 10 players and must submit their ballots by the end of the year. Results will be announced Jan. 26. Of the 25 candidates on this year’s ballot, Schilling and Clemens would seem to have the best shot of being inducted. In 2020, both came close to the 75% required for admission into the Hall of Fame, with Schilling receiving 70% of the vote and Clemens getting 61%. Both former pitchers have two more years of eligibility on the ballot before being removed if they’re not inducted. Wagner (31.7% in 2020) and Ramirez (28.2%) still have a ways to go to get to 75% but increased their vote totals from 2019 to 2020. Without their association with performance-enhancing drugs, it’s likely Clemens and Ramirez would already be in the Hall of Fame. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, the Hall of Fame postponed its 2020 induction to 2021, so inductees from both classes will join the Hall together. From the 2020 class, three players (Derek Jeter, Larry Walker and Ted Simmons) and one executive (Marvin Miller) will be inducted in July. The induction ceremony, which is scheduled for July 25, Here’s the entire list of candidates on this year’s ballot (first-time candidates in italics): Bobby Abreu Barry Bonds Mark Buehrle A.J. Burnett Roger Clemens Michael Cuddyer Dan Haren LaTroy Hawkins Todd Helton Tim Hudson Torii Hunter Andruw Jones Jeff Kent Andy Pettitte Aramis Ramirez Manny Ramirez Scott Rolen Curt Schilling Gary Sheffield Sammy Sosa Nick Swisher Shane Victorino Omar Vizquel Billy Wagner Barry Zito * The Portland Press Herald Cora’s reputation as a players’ manager should benefit Red Sox Tom Caron Alex Cora is back at work. His re-introduction as manager of the Red Sox went relatively smoothly last week, and now he is settling in to learn about the team he will lead onto the field in 2021. He may have managed this team recently, but he will find it’s a very different unit than the one he last spent time with in the dugout.

  • The Demise of the African American Baseball Player
    LCB_18_2_Art_4_Standen (Do Not Delete) 8/26/2014 6:33 AM THE DEMISE OF THE AFRICAN AMERICAN BASEBALL PLAYER by Jeffrey Standen* Recently alarms were raised in the sports world over the revelation that baseball player agent Scott Boras and other American investors were providing large loans to young baseball players in the Dominican Republic. Although this practice does not violate any restrictions imposed by Major League Baseball or the MLB Players Association, many commentators have termed this funding practice of dubious ethical merit and at bottom exploitative. Yet it is difficult to distinguish exploitation from empowerment. Refusing to lend money to young Dominican players reduces the money invested in athletes. The rules of baseball and the requirements of amateurism preclude similar loans to American-born baseball players. Young ballplayers unlucky enough to be born in the United States cannot borrow their training expenses against their future earning potential. The same limitations apply in similar forms to athletes in other sports, yet baseball presents some unique problems. Success at the professional level in baseball involves a great deal of skill, attention to detail, and supervised training over a long period of time. Players from impoverished financial backgrounds, including predominately the African American baseball player, have been priced out of the game. American athletes in sports that, like baseball, require a significant commitment of money over time have not been able to fund their apprenticeships through self-generated lending markets. One notable example of self-generated funding is in the sport of golf. To fund their career goals, American golfers raise money through a combination of debt and equity financing.
