    @SmittyOnMLB Red Sox ticket sales are up 4.5 percent from this time last year, Sam Kennedy says

    Q: What, if anything, do you think you could have done differently in the negotiations with Xander Bogaerts? A: We could have offered 12 years! https://www.overthemonster.com/2023/2/20/23607145/red-sox-xander-bogaerts-hey-john-henry-do-the-damn-dishes

    Today is the first full team workout, FYI.

    Since the start of 2018, Adalberto has 3 fewer AB's than Byron Buxton.

    He played wire to wire in 2020!
  6. mvp 78
    He has more career innings at SS and hasn't played there since 2016. Is he even passable at 1B?
  7. mvp 78
    What is a reasonable % expectation? 2021 seems like an aberration as none of the starting rotation got injured.

    If you are serious about competing, why not spend up to the line every year? Why be so far under it? Just sign 1 year deals!

    @jcmccaffrey After a brief chat with Bush and the trainers, Bello is staying to do PFPs with the rest of the group and the trainers are headed to another field so that seems like a good sign

    @jcmccaffrey Bello is throwing on flat ground with the other pitchers under the watchful eyes of a few trainers

    The CBT threshold in 2020 was $208.

    Also, Arroyo only has 51 innings at 1B. I'm not hanging my hat on that.

    Without a SS, why would you have Kiké play either position though? On this roster, Kiké is SS/CF only.

    I understand what you mean, I don't agree with it. Aside from Mata and Bleier, the guys you have listed don't generate much confidence in me. Kelly is ok, but is still largely unproven at the MLB level. Crawford/Winckowski are probably just bullpen arms, but neither saw their stuff tick up in the pen last year. Maybe just AAAA guys? Joely is hoping that his FIP is more indicative of his future performance, but he's still a career 4.50 ERA bullpen guy. Big whoop. Ort/Brasier/Mills are DFA'able IMO. Murphy/Walter need to at least show value at AAA before we can count on them for anything. Again, what good is this numbers game, really? Is it THAT much better or just moving deck chairs? Changing guys on the margins of the 40 man didn't help the team in 2020 or 2022. Arguably, it wasn't the key to 2021's success either as the guys they brought up from the bottom of the 40 man all were terrible.

    I believe they could have signed Betts and gotten under the cap at some point. The problem goes back to the other signings post-2018 that we have discussed over and over and over again.

    They chose... POORLY!

    IF he stayed healthy!

    Maybe Elvis' price tag was still higher before the Sox signed Chang and traded for Mondesi? IDK. I heard Elvis was still looking for multiple years a few weeks ago. That ship apparently sailed at some point, but maybe because the Sox closed their doors to him.

    Gobbledygook.

    They are slightly over due to the Rojas trade and signing, but can still get under if they trade someone. Being over for 3 straight years comes with additional penalties and Friedman has frequently called being over the CBT "not sustainable" because of the impact on player development.
  21. mvp 78
    I wonder if they tell him that buying an OFer glove will get him to not play for 4 different organizations in a year again?
  22. mvp 78
    Chang plays 1B and 3B as well, he's not just 2B/SS profile. He's actually played MORE innings at 1B and 3B than 2B or SS.
  23. mvp 78
    Every team has the same quantity of players on their roster. Sox aren't hoarding additional players. The bullpen looks ok, but the young arms that came up last season need to perform better if the older arms break down. That being said, Mills is the easy drop from that roster. If this team is playing well, midseason additions of Story and Rafaela could solidify the offensive question marks we currently have up the middle.

    At least Henry isn't the most unlikeable owner in the division. From the desk of John Angelos: “I'm glad we were in a full rebuild because it was what was recommended and was the right thing. Also, we were fortunate that as the world hit a pandemic, we were stripped down to that [level]. That was just good luck, really.”

    I think A700 did roll forward the league in Yahoo.
