    Chapman's option is mutual. He may want to test the market for one final payday.

    Anthony and Crochet were slam dunks. Campbell was seen as a below market deal at the time TBH. We're not happy about it now.
  5. mvp 78
    It'd be a lot easier to deal him if he was just on an ARB contract.
  6. mvp 78
    If he has surgery, it's 6-10 weeks. He's maybe not back until the trade deadline? Same old Story.

    IKF/Monasterio platoon since IKF can't hit LFP? IDK? Just give it to Monasterio fulltime? I'd probably just let Monasterio play every day.
  8. mvp 78
    Well, yeah.
  9. mvp 78
    You didn't mention Monasterio once in your post so it's hard to read that into your post. 🫠

    Bloom was here for 2020 (no Cora), 2021 (ALCS), 2022 (bad), 2023 (fired). It was clear that ownership was tied at the hip to Cora at that point because of the WS recency bias. Once they started banking more losing seasons (2024 and start of 2026) it was easier to start to blame the coaching staff who had overstayed their welcome.
  11. mvp 78
    And once you start getting rid of all these veterans, it probably makes it harder to bring in good FA's TBH.

    They should have kept him AND Bregman. Everyone on here complained that he was a diva because "he wore headphones." Give me a break. That was the worst thing the Sox came up with after kicking him out the door. Devers was right. Breslow should have done his job. He should have found a 1b OR should have communicated in ST that he needed to start working out at 1b just in case.
  13. mvp 78
    What's the point in saying "I thought IKF would be the fill in?" He's been horrible. Sure, at one point he could have been an option, but we all have eyes and now we'd all rather him be benched or DFA'd. IKF is useless. The best option for this current group is to just move the better defender to SS. When/if Story comes back, he can either go to 2b or Siberia.

    Theo wasn't hired until ST after Brez was hired. I'm sure Henry asked Theo about Brez and advice on the hiring. Nobody assigning blame to Theo for the hiring though. There wasn't anyone else left to interview. It was musical chairs, except the candidates were leaving and there were just a bunch of empty chairs and Brez sitting by himself.

    Cespedes has cooled off. Godbout and Yophery did a lot of damage in Greensboro, which is basically a middle school field. There are a few parks in that league that hitters just launch HR's in. Be a little wary of the numbers and let it play out for a while. I'd also like to see Brannon be successful for longer than a month and a half. He has struggled for most of his career with k's and has really never gotten his feet under him. I don't care about Ferguson. Not sure Arias's timeline should be impacted by what BOS is doing. If his ceiling is as high as we think it can be, just be patient and let him get there. Capra and Ward both have very low MLB ceilings. We've seen Sogard in MLB and I think that's the type of upside they'd have there. Sox are just stuck in a holding pattern until guys with real ceilings are ready to go (Anthony) and it's going to take time.

    Why would Theo take the CBO role? He has a gig for life and can never get blamed for anything that goes wrong? He gets to go around the country and give motivational talks to big wigs and be seen as a guru who won a WS for two loser franchises. He doesn't even have to be quoted by the media anymore. It's the perfect job. Nobody knows what he does!

    He has a 503 OPS since April 21st. One XBH in 48 PA. 1 RBI. He's not earning a spot.
  18. mvp 78
    Cool, he's still going to play everyday because the Sox don't have better options to play the IF. Might as well play the best defender at his natural position. I guess you're the smarty pants who'd rather have IKF start everyday though just because of the contract, not because he's earned it with his 505 OPS and mediocre defense.
  19. mvp 78
    The longer the Sox wait, the higher the AAV goes up for CBT purposes as it gets recalculated at the time of the trade as well.
  20. mvp 78
    When I eventually leave FL, I'll miss the sandhill cranes (have been around up to 6M years).
  21. mvp 78
    Trading Mookie was a huge hinge point.
  22. mvp 78
    Wow, Tibbs AND Harrison. What'd that turn into?
  23. mvp 78
    May OPS 971
  24. mvp 78
    Why isn't he duplicating it? Swing changes? Bad luck? He's hitting MORE grounders and less flyballs. He's striking out more. He is just lost up there. Put it on a tee and he can't hit it. If you compare '25 and '26, this is the difference:
  25. mvp 78
    This is a bad take because many pitchers have improved in this system. We don't know what Harrison would look like after an offseason and ST here. Not many orgs have developed young pitchers like Early and Tolle. To say pitchers can't get better here is silly.
