The Red Sox Plan On Spending This Winter

They're at the point where they need to prove it to the fans. 

I'm actually feeling optimistic now, because why not?  It makes no difference how I feel anyway.

It could be a form of self care as long as you aren't going to fall off hard later on.

I'm too sick of being let downs to go there.

Everything is bigger in Texas even the feeling of being letdown by your favorite baseball club.

Welcome to the site!

And while I normally agree that skepticism is warranted, the mere suggestion that the Red Sox are ready to go over the CBT again makes me think they're not just blowing smoke.

Because if you say you're willing to go over the CBT and you don't even come close to doing so, the backlash is going to be enormous. There's no reason to hang yourself out there like that unless you plan to actually do it. Kennedy would have lost nothing by keeping his mouth shut.

I mean, Sam Kennedy has said really dumb stuff in the past and has walked it back poorly. If they did it again, I wouldn't be all that surprised. Just like how we warned you about the impending Aug/Sept Sox collapse. We've seen it before.

That's fair, it just seems like an incredibly dumb and unnecessary thing to say if you're not even going to try to meet the goal. All it does is give the media and fans extra ammunition.

They tend to talk a big game and be "all in" on lots of free agents prior to season tickets and the annual winter weekend. They have consistently fallen on their faces since 2019.  They used to be better, but it's been a while.

I have a feeling Henry and Kennedy and all of them know fans' patience is exhausted now.  Kennedy might be a bozo, but Henry is still a pretty smart guy, I believe.

Bullying works. That's how Devers was signed. We need to march on Henry's house.
