AL East Notes: Mirabelli, Bautista, Kiermaier, Lohse

By Jeff Todd | April 29, 2016 at 11:25pm CDT

Tim Healey of The Hardball Times paints a fascinating portrait of an oddball deal in a deep look at the Red Sox’ 2006 re-acquisition of catcher Doug Mirabelli from the Padres. Truth be told, I don’t have any observations on the piece other than that it demands to be read and is well worth your time.

Here are a few notes from the AL East:

  • MLB Network’s Jon Heyman tweets that while he believes Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista would take less than his reported asking price of more than $150MM over five to six years, he doesn’t believe Bautista would entertain any offers for less than $100MM. Bautista’s alleged asking price was the source of a great deal of controversy in Spring Training, and while $150MM+ doesn’t seem particularly realistic, he would probably have a strong case for $100MM on the open market this winter. Bautista may be 35, but he’s been remarkably consistent since his 2010 breakout and is off to a strong start, batting .247/.394/.519 with four homers and an AL-leading 20 walks drawn.
  • In other extension-related news, the Rays have not seriously engaged with center fielder Kevin Kiermaier about a deal over the last several months, according to Chris Cotillo of SB Nation (Twitter link). Nevertheless, Tampa Bay has given some indication of interest at some point. The 26-year-old seems like the type of player the Rays would target for a bargain contract, as he had only accumulated 1.131 years of service entering the season and is a glove-first player whose on-field value may not translate particularly well into arbitration earnings. Even if he can’t replicate last year’s magical season in the field, he seems like a good bet to continue as a solid asset for years to come. While it seems unlikely that the sides will get anything started in the near term, last year’s Juan Lagares extension looks like as good a comp as one could hope for. Lagares was the same age and featured a similar profile, though he was much more certain at the time to reach Super Two status (and, it’s fair to note, has done less with the bat in his career).
  • Even after adding veteran Wandy Rodriguez, the Orioles continue to stay in touch with righty Kyle Lohse, Dan Connolly of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports. As we’ve heard previously, Baltimore has made an offer to Lohse but, obviously, has yet to reach agreement. It’s still not clear what the 37-year-old is prioritizing in deciding upon a club with which to attempt a bounceback, but the O’s rotation certainly seems to offer a reasonable likelihood of opportunity over the coming months.

Odds and Ends: Mirabelli, Lohse, Spring Stats

By Tim Dierkes | March 13, 2008 at 11:51am CDT

Here are some links I’ve cobbled together.

  • Surprise move by the Red Sox, releasing Doug Mirabelli.
  • Check out this typically lengthy blog entry from Joe Posnanski.  I laughed out loud twice.  Read it.
  • Derrick Goold says the Cards are having "continued dialogue" with Kyle Lohse’s people.  Viva El Birdos considers this a test for ownership.
  • With a hat tip to John Dewan, RotoAuthority attempts to find some meaning in this year’s spring training stats.
  • If you haven’t already, take a look at my video mailbag from yesterday.  We should have one of those MLB Roundup things on the way this week too.

Odds and Ends: Phelps, Mirabelli, Varitek

By Tim Dierkes | January 10, 2008 at 12:23pm CDT

Random rumors and links for your perusal…

  • The Cardinals inked Josh Phelps to a minor league deal that could be worth up to $1MM.  I always liked Phelps; he’s a more than capable bench guy.
  • The Red Sox bit the bullet and brought Doug Mirabelli back for another round.  Tony Massarotti notes that the Red Sox may sign Jason Varitek to an extension this spring worth upward of $10MM annually.  I still like the idea of going after Kenji Johjima next winter.
  • RotoAuthority ranks the shortstops for fantasy leagues, hot off the press.

Mirabelli Back to Boston?

By Tim Dierkes | May 1, 2006 at 9:14am CDT

Word is that Doug Mirabelli is currently on a charter plane to Boston from San Francisco.  Apparently this one is all over Dennis and Callahan and Dale and Holley on WEEI.

No word yet on who the Red Sox would send over to get Tim Wakefield’s personal catcher back.

UPDATE: The Red Sox are trying to get Mirabelli to Fenway by gametime tonight.
