    Sorry, best we can do is 3-5 years per moon.

    Balls in sticking with their long term plan or balls in paying money to a guy long term?
  3. mvp 78
    Arroyo is 6'1" Bloom is about the same or maybe an inch or two taller from what I've seen online.
  4. mvp 78
    I think I'm at a solid 4.5 out of 10 on the excitement level.

    Reports have been all offseason long that "they've been talking." Devers is NOT a Boras guy.

    @PeteAbe Sox still have Christian Arroyo, Ryan Brasier, Reese McGuire, Nick Pivetta, Josh Taylor, and Alex Verdugo as unsigned arb-eligible players. Only Pivetta and Verdugo are projected over $2.3M. The sides exchange figures on Jan. 13 if no deal is made.

    AAAA or "org guys." Those 3 probably don't deserve a 40 man spot on a legitimate roster.

    John Henry now starring as "The Ugly American."

    Thank you. I honestly don't know enough about soccer/football and only retain very little when I hear about it.

    1. 2020 Draft: B, could have drafted Pete Crow-Armstrong in the 1st round. 2. 2021 Draft: A-, Mayer is a franchise player, ERC, Hickey and Kavadas are intriguing. 3. 2022 Draft: B+, Romero, Anthony, Meidroth, Brannon all performed well in the fall, but too early to tell. Could wind up being his best draft though. 4. Rule 5: B-, Whitlock was a great get, but developed mostly in Sox system with Andriese and the loss of TWard is undetermined, but odd because he at least had some trade value since he was taken first overall. 5. IFA: B+, Bleis could be a franchise player, but it's really too early to tell as these guys are really young. Hardest group to judge. 6. Trades: D+, amassed a lot of talent, but nobody has broken through the ceiling yet. Had a lot of tradeable assets.

    @ChrisCotillo Shows they agreed on his value for 2023. Might mean more. Might not. Guess here is they’ll make a real (big dollar) effort on an extension before Opening Day. This is what a UNC - Chapel Hill degree can give you.

    No, fans weren't happy with McCourt for a while before the sale. Aside from trading for Manny, that ownership hadn't done much except collect past their prime players like Nomar, Luis Gonzales, Jeff Kent, Maddux, Lofton and sign guys from Japan/Taiwan. They let Adrian Beltre go. JD Drew opted out and bolted for Boston. McCourt had to raise ticket prices and concessions every year to afford the team. He went through a VERY public and costly divorce that lasted a year and a half during which MLB appointed a representative to oversee day to day operations of the ballclub after MLB found out that McCourt received a loan from Fox to cover payroll. The Dodgers filed for Chapter 11. 9 months later, McCourt sold to the group that included Magic Johnson.

    Manny Ramirez? These "big salary commitments" are a more recent thing and there haven't been very many teams sold recently. Did Lindor's contract come before the new ownership or after?
  15. mvp 78
    @redsoxstats Another couple of new numbers showed up today, so far 7 Yoshida 12 Wong 16 Duran 22 Whitlock 25 Winckowski 55 Martin 57 Rodriguez Have no fear, all of you old farts can reuse your Trot Nixon jerseys again.
  16. mvp 78
    They still have wiggle room for more moves. They still have holes to fill. The offseason isn't over.
  17. mvp 78
    No. The Dodgers are in 7th place and projected to be right at the luxury tax cap and only about 20M ahead of the Sox. Teams 5-15 are within 20M of each other in terms of projected salary and tax implications for the most part once ARB raises are factored in. And if you look at luxury tax left over: https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/tax/

    They dealt Mookie after avoiding arbitration. The sunglasses are hiding my tears.
  19. mvp 78
    It's that kind of well thought out prose you learn in journalism school at UMass Amherst.
  20. mvp 78
    After the second or third reply, every thread falls off topic.
  21. mvp 78
    @PeteAbe #RedSox confirm a @JeffPassan report that Rafael Devers avoided arbitration with a one-year deal. The $17.5M deal is a hike from $11.2 last season and a bit higher than projections. That they got this done would suggest further talks on a long-term extension are possible.

    Matthew Lugo was placed on Caguas' inactive list on Friday, Dec. 23. In 39 games for the Criollos, the 21-year-old infielder batted .275/.360/.450 with three doubles, six home runs, 19 RBIs, 20 runs scored, two stolen bases, 11 walks, and 34 strikeouts over 140 plate appearances. In four games with Cartagena last week, Ronaldo Hernandez went 3 for 17 (.176) with two home runs and five RBIs. The 25-year-old slugger is now slashing .274/.387/.548 on the season with 11 doubles, one triple, eight homers, 34 runs driven in, 31 runs scored, 17 walks, and 25 strikeouts. From behind the plate, he has thrown out five of 15 possible base stealers.

    No. Barnes is going to have a redemption year in 2023. He's going to be good. He won't be pitching the 8th/9th, but he'll be reliable.
  24. mvp 78
    Winckowski just stopped being able to strike anyone out the second he got to MLB. He also massively struggled the second time through the order, whereas Crawford only kind of struggled. I'm not sure Winckowski gets many more chances to start. Seabold will be 27 this month. I don't know what is even left there.
  25. mvp 78
    Ok, well YOU brought up Seabold. I agree that the Betts trade stunk. I agree that Beni trade hasn't worked out (and they traded him at his lowest value). Bloom's dumbest trade was the Renfroe trade though. I can't say that I trust him to do a Devers trade.
