    This is more bluster. We have enough DH’s, we don’t need to deal off a guy who could be capable of being a 3b one day for a guy incapable of anything in the field. I do feel Andujar is gonna get moved, though. Reading the tea leaves, I think he will get moved for Jon Gray.

    Lackey was an ace in Anaheim. He was good year 1. Horrible year 2. Missed year 3. Years 4 and 5 were good to great

    I would disagree with a Cora suspension for the ideas stated above. You don’t penalize one of the victims by suspending their coach. But a fine of half a year’s salary? Maybe more? Totally fine. You hurt the people involved and the organization involved. You don’t hurt the other teams
  4. jacksonianmarch
    Pretty sure that’s the way it’ll go.

    I deal Chance Adams and Steven Tarpley. With Chapman and Britton, a third lefty isn’t useful. I get that Tarpley may pull a Gallegos on us, but he is buried here and needs consistent reps to find his stuff Chance Adams isn’t Chance Adams anymore. He had bone chips removed from his elbow before 2018 and he lost serious velocity and it never came back. I’d try to maximize return on him now before he loses all value I’d also deal Cortes. He’s buried
  6. jacksonianmarch
    Cortes is a good call. He’s got a big league future likely as a swing or bulk guy. Maybe in the back end of a rotation. But with our depth and the likely addition of a starter, he’s buried. My bet is the O’s would consider him I don’t like the idea of dealing Cessa. He showed something this year, albeit inconsistently. I’m holding out hope he’s the next Chad Green in system

    Resetting does apply to draft return for a QO player. If the sox reset, hold onto Mookie, and he signs elsewhere, the sox will get a 1st round supplemental pick.
  8. jacksonianmarch
    So does that mean Ortiz definitely tested positive for a legal supplement? Again, he tested positive for a drug that was part of MLB’s impetus to institute steroid testing. Listen, I use this only because you guys brought up steroids. I know enough about this and how rampant it was and still is to not care at all. What I do care about is a World Series champion hiding camera’s in walls and reporting to the batter in real time which pitch is coming. That is overt cheating and is not rampant in the majors. Roids were rampant.
  9. jacksonianmarch
    Giambi’s testimony was leaked and he absolutely admitted to using roids. I’ll never defend him as a non roid user. But the idea that the Sox “did it the right way” and the big bad cheating roiding Yankees took away your binky is so naive it borders on infantile.
  10. jacksonianmarch
    The Ortiz test was never formally discredited. And it was during the year you guys are questioning. So hey, maybe I feel jilted for having to see the series go to 7 games. Or maybe I should feel worse about 2004 knowing Papi was juicing his balls off.
  11. jacksonianmarch
    I had a teammate who was drafted in 02 and made a cup of coffee in the bigs. In the minors, it was rampant. In the majors, it was rampant. Everyone was looking for an edge. Think about it. For a lot of these guys, baseball is their only way to make a living. Lots of them didn’t have degrees or they have degrees that are unusable and they didn’t put in the work to earn them because they were ball players. Now they get to the minors and find out they aren’t good enough and they’re just gonna take their lumps and go home? Hell no. You take every edge possible and try to turn that into a winning lottery ticket that sets you and your family up for life.
  12. jacksonianmarch
    The idea that during the “steroid era” that the Red Sox were somehow cleaner than a whistle is f***ing stupid.
  13. jacksonianmarch
    ARod never tested positive either. Neither did Giambi. But Manny tested positive TWICE after his time with the Sox. And he tested positive once for a masking agent which wasn’t tested for when testing initially rolled out!
  14. jacksonianmarch
    I’m just as upset about facing David Ortiz for a decade and a half after he failed his drug test or for the 8 years Manny was cheating. The personal steroid thing was rampant and I’m far less concerned about that than I am a system devised by the FO to cheat in game. That’s way worse
  15. jacksonianmarch
    Madrigal isn’t going anywhere. He’s an untouchable.
  16. jacksonianmarch
    I’m just surprised you guys aren’t more angry over this. Sale got shitstomped like they knew what was coming. The Sox didn’t stand a chance in Houston. Heck, the cheating could have cost you guys a title
  17. jacksonianmarch
    Vazquez is gonna get tried and convicted, then he’ll get deported after his sentence. He’s done
  18. jacksonianmarch
    And then a reliever raped a 12 yr old.
  19. jacksonianmarch
    Not really. They're gonna drop to Orioles level
  20. jacksonianmarch
    Pittsburgh is a mess. They outright revolted on their manager
  21. jacksonianmarch
    Cherington is said to have asked the teams he was interested in whether they wanted a full gut rebuild. He wants to rebuild a system. He’s in Pitt now, meaning they’re about to blow that thing sky high
  22. jacksonianmarch
    Didi is a no go. I also think with the fact that Gardner and Cash talked and didn’t come to an agreement that a cheaper Gardner replacement is now on the docket. I want a starter. We need a starter. Not only from a pure production standpoint, but from a staff development standpoint. I think bringing in a guy to be “the guy” will immeasurably help our rotation. It might make Sevy be the ace he can be. Heck, it’s also help Paxton in his walk year
  23. jacksonianmarch
    They did eliminate the Red Sox in 2017
  24. jacksonianmarch
    He looks like a vampire

    I think with all the damning info out there now, this is not speculation. You've got a former player confirming this. You have an email from an exec asking for it. You've had tons of evidence of whistling and banging before breaking pitches. Now you have Cora "cooperating in full". The s***** thing is, penalizing Cora in terms of a suspension penalizes the sox, who did absolutely nothing wrong. Same with the Mets. So while I think one is coming, I don't think that's entirely fair to a team that hired him as a manager. For me, if Cora and Beltran got a huge fine and no suspension, I would be ok with that. Personally penalize them, but don't hurt their teams. For the Astros, I deliver a kill shot. Dock them multiple first rounders. Eliminate their IFA fund. Suspend Hinch and Luhnow for at least a season. When the integrity of the game is at risk, especially when trying to draw in the snowflake generation, you have to overreact or risk losing people who think the game is rigged.
