Championships since purchase by John Henry group: Red Sox 4 Yankees 1
The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.
A lot of posts about paying market value for a starting pitcher to lead the rotation.
Some fans may think any debate for this need is sad when it comes to the Boston Red Sox. To that, I just say...
... PGA, baby! (POOR GUY ABSOLVED)
We have no idea what the ask is. I'd go as high as the $125-135 mill range.

Get one ready for NBA, because that's coming soon.

So above average that the Yankees didn't want him on their post season roster.
Can't happen until Lebron retires, I believe. As an investor in FSG, he can't be an active owner of an NBA team as a player.

When you look at his statcast page, he's never been above 60th percentile for xERA, xBA, xSLG, xISO, K%. He's a fine pitcher who gives you a lot of innings without walking batters. If the Sox were going to put a really good IF defense out there, it'd make sense for them to lock him up. He's a better version of Derek Lowe IMO. Lowe was a pretty good pitcher until his late 30's. If Montgomery avoids injury, he could be decent. He's become a better pitcher as he's thrown his sinker more (up to 42% last year, was in the 20's in 20-21 and 30's in 22).
You changed the scale.
The original numbers were per 175 IP, not per season. Montgomery had a 3 year stretch where he totaled 75 IP.
If you use his numbers not counting last year, his 9.9 fWAR per 566 IP converts to 3.1 fWAR per 175 IP.
That’s barely a noticeable drop over when you include 2023…
That just makes him more likable in my eyes…
Exactly. Would be nothing sweeter than Montgomery beating his original team in a Red Sox uniform...with Whitlock getting the save.

No, he was 20-33% from '21-'22 in most categories: 26th% in xFIP.

A #2 is NOT average.

I'm not saying he's average today. I'm not saying he was a #2 prior to 2023.
He was average prior to 2023. Now, he's a #2 starter because he's throwing his splitter more and it's working out well for him.
What about from 2021 to 2022, where he was at the 26th percentile in xFIP? (That's not 40-60%.)
