    Sign two 3B's when you only need one? Genius!

    They DO need to prove it on the field. Bloom needs to show that he can build a successful MLB team not just a farm system. So far, the results haven't been great!
  3. mvp 78
    They should have signed Max instead of Price or Lester.

    I think it's still fair to call him that. One transaction doesn't fix the past. Extend more young guys. Build the next great team. Keep spending. However, there are quite a few people choosing to be over the top negative the past 24 hours. Especially nincompoops like James Stewart. People that don't know what 5-6-3 means. People that live absolutely miserable lives and generally earn their money off of wallowing in the misery. No matter what had happened with the Raffy situation, they would have found the negative. I just no longer have time or patience for that nonsense.

    I just have a hunch that they get Paxton throwing in ST, see that they have 6 starters and wind up flipping him to another team. Unless they move him to the pen? IDK. Pivetta probably has the lowest ceiling of the guys they project as starters, but you can probably count on 150 innings from him.

    Has anyone said that it exonerated JH or that it made up for Betts leaving? At most, people have said that they are happy they have a franchise player and that there's more work to be done. I think that's fair.

    If he left and signed this contract elsewhere, you'd be complaining about it everyday until the Sun swallowed the Earth.

    The Fellowship of the Miserable. Rick Pitino was right all along.

    You have said over and over that Henry has the money to afford any player he wants. But take issue with the contract size? How does that make any sense? You're mad that Henry doesn't spend. You're mad that the players make too much money. At some point, find something that makes you happy then...

    Sox could do a 2 for 1 deal, but no way would anyone want to do a 3 for 1 and then have to DFA 2 guys for what the Sox are giving up. More likely, the Sox are going to trade Brasier/Ort/Seabold/Dalbec for guys not on the 40 man rosters of other teams a la the Christian Koss deal. Sox probably have 5-6 guys they need to clear off the current 40 man before next season starts. DHern - DFA Ort - DFA Seabold - trade Dalbec - trade Duran - trade Paxton - trade

    Ferguson is not ahead of Mayer on the depth chart though. Hamilton is past the point of being able to fake it at SS. They are actively pushing him towards OF. Koss is ok at SS, but he's not going to be ready for playing time in BOS before Mayer. Honestly, Mayer has a shot to debut around the trade deadline this year. At 19, his OPS in A+ was higher than what Devers' was in A+ at the same age. Devers debuted at the deadline at age 20 the following season. I think Mayer is more likely to be a Super Two call up in 2024, but I'm not going dismiss him getting a rocket attached to him this year. Why else would they be so lax with addressing this need?

    The Romero money went to Anthony.

    WINTER HAVEN, Fla., Feb. 17 (AP) — Carl Yastrzemski of the Boston Red Sox signed a three‐year contract today that may make him the highest paid player in professional baseball history. No figures were announced, but Dick O'Connell, vice presi dent and general manager of the Red Sox, said the contract made Yastrzemski “the highest paid player in the American League.” He just turned 30! We know he's on the decline! What a waste of money! He's just playing a kid's game!
  14. mvp 78
    Wrong.
  15. mvp 78
    Stop it. Devers is better and younger than Xander.
  16. mvp 78
    So are Raffy's numbers if he continues his trajectory at 3B.
  17. mvp 78
    That's just going to incentivize him to get caught more!
  18. mvp 78
    Andrus probably wants a multi-year deal. You can probably get Iggy on a MiLB deal with a ST opt out if he doesn't make the MLB team.
  19. mvp 78
    With the money, you can reach and grab someone above slot that fell in the draft. Now, it's one less above slot HS guy? Brooks Brannon signed for 700k and a lot of people figured that he'd go to college rather than sign.
  20. mvp 78
    Iggy is not a great SS anymore, but he'd be cheap and serviceable. He's also a guy that would probably enjoy playing here again.
  21. mvp 78
    72 in 2018 was Josiah Gray 73 in 2016 was Jose Miranda played 125 games for the Twins as a rookie last season 74 in 2016 was Akil Baddoo has played 197 games for the Tigers the past two seasons for the Tigers after being taken in the Rule 5 draft The bigger issue is the loss in $$$ to spend in the MLB Draft pool based on pick slot.
  22. mvp 78
    Bench bat replacement for Dalbec I guess? I'd pass on Guriel.
  23. mvp 78
    Rumor is that the Sox are signing Yuli Guriel.
  24. mvp 78
    When Soto is a FA, only Sale, Story, Yoshida and Devers will be on the books. I guess they could clear out room and go crazy? Soto's contract will be bonkers though. 15/500?

    Why are you calling Bell a liar?
