    Let me fix that for you.

    Buchholz stole laptops and Jay Groome's dad...
  3. mvp 78
    That's incorrect.
  4. mvp 78
    He started off strong with the Pivetta deal, but really sucked balls after that.
  5. mvp 78
    Honestly, Lester wasn't as bad as Mookie or Xander.
  6. mvp 78
    Gee, I wonder why someone would be negative about this team right now...
  7. mvp 78
    Confusion about the Verdugo story? I’m not sure. The Sox previously had Urbina, Cordero and Wright. Plus the clubhouse attendant…
  8. mvp 78
    It’s not letting SOME go, they are letting ALL of them go.

    That's the Atlanta Braves model. Acuna 8/100 Albies 7/35 Riley 10/212 Strider 6/75 Olson 8/168 Harris 8/72

    The opt out year only favors the player and offers no safety valve for the team. Better that the Sox just add in extra money and not put the option in.
  11. mvp 78
    The OPEN MARKET doesn't factor into the early career extensions at all.
  12. mvp 78
    Not sure what it was like where you were posting, but people on here were relatively hopeful about 2013. I don't think they saw a WS, but many predicted a WC birth. I can't say the same for 2023 right now.
  13. mvp 78
    Maybe it's just because you are naive, but you should have thought of that.
  14. mvp 78
    I'm always excited for baseball, but the team would need to show me what it's got before I go all in.
  15. mvp 78
    Yeah, JBJ would have gotten the Albies deal, not an Acuna deal.
  16. mvp 78
    Players don't typically make THAT much the first year in arbitration. A lot of JBJ's value comes from his glove which isn't adequately reimbursed through ARB procedures either.

    2013 2021 I wouldn't take my chances on all of those things breaking right this year. My guess would be: Sale pitches most of the year, but his numbers are more like 2019 than anything else. Paxton pitches about 75 innings and has long IL stints. Bello is good. Whitlock pitches like a #3. Sox don't pick up anyone remarkable in FA for the rotation. Yes, this is the most 85 win team of all time.
  18. mvp 78
    The guy they should have extended after 2016 was Betts: 8.2 fWAR. If they were going to focus extensions that offseason it would have started and ended with him.
  19. mvp 78
    They wouldn't have signed him to a 10/120M contract after 2016. Yes, there is a risk though. I don't remember too many of these early extension contracts becoming bad deals for the clubs though.
  20. mvp 78
    The wild card is the rotation. IF Sale pitches close to a full season and what he provides. IF Paxton can go 150 innings. IF Bello can add on to what he did last year. IF Whitlock can be a 3rd starter or better.
  21. mvp 78
    So they lock up JBJ in 2016 and he ends up signing a cheaper Jayson Heyward contract? 8/whatever. It's not great, but I'm guessing they would have been buying out some ARB years getting some sort of discount.
  22. mvp 78
    Joely 2M Kenley 16M Turner 11M Martin 7M Yoshida 18M So they still have about 26 left to spend on 2-4 players. Per the FanGraphs crowdsource: Kluber 12M Andrus 10M Lugo 5M
  23. mvp 78
    Locking JBJ up after 2018 doesn't equate to what we're proposing with Bello and Casas.
  24. mvp 78
    Hard to disagree.
  25. mvp 78
    That would make sense to me too. I think I'd want at least one full season of these guys before I went long.
