Red Sox Considering C.J. Cron

By Steve Adams | April 24, 2024 at 10:08am CDT

The Red Sox lost first baseman Triston Casas for a yet-to-be-determined but significant period of time yesterday, as the 24-year-old slugger was diagnosed with a left rib fracture. Manager Alex Cora said at the time that Bobby Dalbec would get the bulk of playing time at first base in lieu of Casas, but it seems the Sox are also mulling the possibility of going outside the organization. Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports that Boston has had some initial talks about bringing veteran C.J. Cron back to the organization.

Cron, 34, was with the Sox during spring training but was granted his release in late March after he triggered an opt-out clause. The veteran slugger saw action in just six spring games and went 3-for-15 with a pair of walks. He remains unsigned.

Middling as those small-sample spring numbers may be, Cron has a long and generally productive track record at the big league level. He’s a career .260/.320/.471 hitter who’s hit 25 or more home runs in four different seasons, including a 29-homer campaign as recently as the 2022 season with the Rockies. Cron hit .260/.304/.476 and popped 11 homers in 56 games with the Rox last season before being traded to the Angels — his original organization — at the deadline. He slumped to a .200/.259/.260 line in 15 games post-trade, however, and twice hit the injured list due to lower back troubles over the final two months of the season.

Cron has had four IL placements due to back and neck injuries since the 2021 season, and he missed the majority of the shortened 2020 campaign after damaging a ligament in his knee while fielding a grounder — an injury that eventually required surgery. It’s been a tough few years on the health front, but Cron has typically been a productive bat when he’s been on the field. Given the fact that he’s still unsigned after opting out of a minor league deal, one would imagine the cost to sign him would be affordable as well.

There are other options for the Sox to consider if they indeed go outside the organization. Fellow veteran Brandon Belt remains unsigned despite a hefty .254/.369/.490 slash and 19 home runs in 404 plate appearances with the Blue Jays last year. That performance checked in 38% better than league average, by measure of wRC+ (138). The Cubs also just designated veteran Garrett Cooper for assignment despite a rather productive 41 plate appearances to begin his season (.270/.341/.432, 118 wRC+). Cooper has punched out in more than 30% of his plate appearances and benefited from a .391 BABIP, which could be red flags for the Sox and other interested parties, however.

For now, it’ll be Dalbec getting the looks at first base, though it’s hardly a surprise that the Sox aren’t comfortable simply handing him the keys at first base. The former hit 33 home runs in his first 156 big league games from 2020-21 but has since batted just .198/.268/.337 (65 wRC+) in 441 plate appearances — all while punching out at a glaring 37.2% clip. Even more concerning is Dalbec’s start to the 2024 season. The 28-year-old has taken 35 plate appearances and gone 1-for-32 with 18 strikeouts.

        I agree if for no other reason than the relative health of Cooper vs Cron. The Sox are in this position because of a flood of injuries to begin with. They don’t need their solution to be someone who very well could wind up on the IL himself with back issues.

          they need someone who can play for 2 months tops. By then they will know if they are a contender at the deadline, and will trade for a more legit solution this year (or Casas will be healthy by then). I get not wanting to go all in. But i would be price checking guys on teams with a surplus of big league bats (Os, same division, but with balanced schedules divisions matter less- and they have too many corner OF/1b types and really have no big league needs- so would likely be asking for a few interesting guys in complex/rookie/low A that are 2-5 years out either way.

      Cron was in camp but *barely*…

      Only 6 games and 17 plate appearances, and even those were a month ago. He is in NO way prepared or ready to jump in and play.

      If you sign him, it’s got to be a minor league deal and he better spend at least 4 weeks or so building up to speed.

      Even a player without his extensive and disastrous health record this decade would be asking for trouble.

      Meanwhile, before puffing up his batting line from those whopping six games too much, look at what dalbec did in major league spring training this year as well.

        GASox – As further proof Dalbec is cooked, look at his 2024 ST numbers compared to prior years:

        2024 – .718 OPS
        2023 – .814 OPS
        2022 – 1.052 OPS
        2021 – 1.164 OPS

        Even in his first ST he put up a .775 OPS

    Why sign a free agent, which costs additional money when you can have Pablo Reyes, Dalbec, or even Valdez or Hamilton play over there.

    Next time Breslow needs to be proactive when creating the roster. These depth issues were very obvious to anyone with a brain this past off-season.

        I try to give Breslow a long leash here due to him being brought on late and this is his first time in the role. However, since they let DD go, there had been a lack of urgency to win actual baseball games. Maybe that will change next year.

        He’s not being forced into anything. He’s just not getting offers he likes. If he were willing to sign for 5 mil he’d have had ten offers. He was looking for a raise and for a limited player like belt most teams just decided to try cheaper internal options and put their money elsewhere. He’s the victim of teams managing their assets better.

      I for one did not enjoy watching Westbrook play the field during ST. But to echo the sentiments of many commenters, unless they’re going to go after Belt, I’d rather plug the holes with young guys in the organization and see if you can stumble upon an unsung Jeff McNeil kind of figure. If Westbrook is good you get him for at least 6 years; if C.J. Cron is good you trade him at the deadline for a nobody. I’d rather take my chances with the former!

    Belt is coming a season with an .858 OPS / 136 OPS+. He’s better than Cron, but I can see the hesitation since he’s not the ideal solution for rampant injuries.

      Both cron and belt have health concerns, and, based on those track records id imagine neither can play defense at this point worth much because of it, let alone the versatility you’d like.

      Sox don’t need yet another DH, they need a fielder.

      What I’d like to hear about are pending May 1st opt-out/upward mobility clauses from the guys remaining from the minor league deals with ST invites that could become available.

      Might be a better idea to see what of those guys are out there a week from now where you could at least get *some* defense out of whoever you brought in.

          Fever – if he ends up leaving the Mets and only cost pro-rata mlb-minimum, he’s not bad extra depth for Henry’s budget. But I wouldnt pay anything but cash for him, not even a lottery ticket prospect.

          His glove still looks like it’s there in Syracuse, but, the bat is likely every bit as bad (or worse) than dalbec’s. His AAA numbers haven’t been great swinging through stick and I’d expect some further suppression making the mlb-jump based on recent years plus his minors line.

          Really the biggest issue is you’d still need to carry dalbec since jiman isn’t a 3B. Put Casas on the 60-day and it opens the slot.

          Maybe the *biggest* tie-breaker to me is just how much payroll breslow has for mid-season acquisitions from Henry. If it’s only a couple million, I’m not sure I’d gamble using a healthy chunk of that on Choi. There’s no guarantee some other team would claim him if you did a release after Casas returns. If Casas returns.

          GASox – Excellent analysis as always, thank you!

          I seriously doubt there will be mid-season acquisitions that increase the overall payroll, even if the team is still miraculously in contention by then.

          One thing I don’t understand, why does the team often wait so long to transfer players from the 10-day IL to the 60-day? They waited until long after Story went under the knife before moving him, and certainly they already know Casas will be out at least 2 months. So why not open up the 40-man spot now?

          Fever – the *one* reason I can think of, and, it’s fairly thin but does exist- leverage, and money.

          Think about it. If you were a front office executive and looking to add various depth throughout the season on low cost, low probability moves like every team does, you always look to pick up guys who opted out, or were released, or whatever, to a minor league deal for depth right?

          Well, if you happened to have a sweet 40-man slot open, every agent is going to insist their guy is given that 40-man slot because it’s there. Except, two minor league players, one on the 40man, one not, earn different salaries.

          So, by holding that 40 man spot occupied, you could sign a guy to a 40 man deal to stash in the minors as depth, and, say ‘well, we will add your guy when a spot opens and we need him.’

          Otherwise, they’re going to ask for it right?

      Dalbec had a really good ST against other mlb players, not just the b-squad and st-invite only types, following a strong showing at AAA.

      He also plays good defense, having been arguably their best infielder this season defensively if you like his impeccable fielding pct that came with a good number of assists and few DPs while lining up at both 1st and 3rd, zero errors, repeat, ZERO errors for a squad that was leading mlb in unearned runs.

      He’s also the cheapest salary possible for a highly stingy owner in John Henry of late.

      Last of all, he had options left while representing the only mlb-caliber backup defender who played good 3B defense coming out of ST.

    It almost makes too much sense for an interdivison trade with the Os who have a surplus at 1b/corner OF- Ohearn, Montcastle, Stantander are taking up 2.5 lineup spots (with Adley taking the other half of the DH time); Heston will need playing time, Mayo is MLB ready and will need playing time. Hayes becomes another part of that backlog when he is healthy.

    Ohearn or Mountcastle for from lottery tick prospects makes sense guys like Asencio, Monegro, Arias… Or even guys still in complex or deeper in rookie leagues. The Os need to solve a logjam now- even if it creates a new logjam in 3 years. Basically be like the Rays.,

      Astros aren’t paying abreu’s full salary for nothing of particular value coming the other way and the red sox wouldn’t even want to give up more than a single baseball for him unless the astros did.

      He’s old. possibly, and dare I say closer to likely, 5 to 10 years older than officially listed. Its debatable whether his bat or defense is worse at this point, amd that’s not a good thing.

      Abreu may be almost out of baseball soon. That’s to say nothing about Henry having no interest in adding appreciable salary either. Even a new mlb-minimum contract on the books would require the entire front office to visit the blood bank once a week to make ends meet.

    CJ Cron(as is Garrett Cooper)is a massive upgrade over Bobby Dalbec. And the fact that a no-impact scrub like Bobby Dalbec has gotten almost 1000 Plate appearances with the Rsox is a strong indicator of how far their(and MLBs) overall talent has fallen. There’s no way a guy like Dalbec would have gotten this many PAs on the Red Sox(or any team really) of 10+ years ago.

    The RS need to remember that there is little to no chance of the team making the September run, so don’t give up anything of value in a trade. I have no trouble for this to be Dalbec’s last hurrah. If it takes two months, then use it constructively for the future. I don’t think he will hurt them too much in the field. They can also use Reifsnyder there.

          Persky – You are right, it’s odd how secretive they’ve been about his absence. I wouldn’t think it’s disciplinary. We will have to wait until next year to find out.

          He has been hit twice since Friday though.

    Is Kavadas really THAT bad? He’s got a 1.089 OPS at AAA right now. I do think he’s likely a AAAA guy that won’t hit better than maybe .215, but he was 10th in the minors last year in BBs. Dude can get on base and mash in the instances he does make contact.

    I just don’t understand what the point is of keeping him down at AAA when your primary 1B is out for quite awhile and his backup can’t hit or get on base. This is the perfect scenario to give him ABs and see if he’s capable of hanging with MLB pitching.

    Even if he can’t… at least there’s the chance he *might*. Dalbec hasn’t hit for 3 years now so we know he can’t.

    Anyone is better than Dalbec. I don’t care if he plays 3B too, He strikes out ALL THE TIME !!!! Here’s an idea, let the pitcher hit and the DH can hit for Dalbec. He is terrible !! Im sure he is a real nice guy, but HE CANT HIT MLB PITCHING !!!
    Cron, Cooper, Belt ANYONE is better.
    Rant over.

    They should consider playing Yoshida more

    Can Cron hit outside of Coors? I’ll bet no.

    The Sox need to consider what they are going to do with Connor Wong once Teel is MLB ready. I’d have Wong playing all over the place, his bat is to strong not to be in the lineup everyday. Having Yoshida is becoming a PITA. Maybe Wong could get some reps at first.

    Stick with Dalbec. He will start hitting and will provide power from the right side. He’s an excellent defender and will surprise everyone.

    Adams is incompetent. “Middling as those small-sample spring numbers may be” is not proper English. You can’t just leave “as” out to begin the sentence. Grammar isn’t optional.
