  1. Next year. Song would only have to be on the active roster for 60 days rather than the whole year. Easier to keep him around.
  2. Well, he could have signed Xander for a below market deal last offseason. That would have been fairly judicious of him.
  3. Do the Sox have Tampa's developmental system?
  4. He's not the only guy making the calls or holding the money. There's a push and pull in the Red Sox ownership group between spending and not spending. Werner wants to spend. Henry doesn't want to spend.
  5. He's still in the Garrett Whitlock live BP role. Don't worry though Aaron Boone said he's throwing the ball well. That guy is a reliable source!
  6. It's hard to see what the organizational philosophy is on acquiring pitchers. They don't draft them. The ones they sign are old and on short contracts. Where's the long term solution?
  7. Do you dismiss bad ST results? Niko Goodrum: 176 AVG, 17 AB, 3 H, 1 BB, 11 K, 399 OPS Duvall: 000 AVG, 11 AB, 3 BB, 6 K, 200 OPS Kiké: 077 AVG, 13 AB, 1 H, 2 BB, 4 K, 277 OPS Of all the hitters with bad numbers, Goodrum really sticks out, especially with his 500 BABIP. He's toast.
  8. Yes, he uses the 40 man roster, but I don't think he uses the bottom of the 40 man roster well.
  9. I think 5GG was under the assumption the Phillies were trading for Song's Rule 5 rights and would be able to pass him through waivers and get him off of the 40 man for the year.
  10. When you go to mlb.com, you get a nice big picture of Masataka Yoshida now. Is THIS the team to beat? Japan cruises again Team Japan is serving notice to the rest of the Classic field: It's here to win. Behind five RBIs from new Red Sox signee Masataka Yoshida, Japan rolled past Korea for its second straight rout. Here's a video: https://www.mlb.com/video/yoshida-s-big-day-at-the-plate?t=world-baseball-classic-video
  11. https://twitter.com/MLBONFOX/status/1634192043013545984 Yu Chang hits a game tying bomb for Chinese Taipei against Italy. Chang went 2-4, 3R, 2RBI, 1BB Old friend Tzu-Wei Lin also hit a HR.
  12. I don't think you can outright dismiss ST results, but I don't think you can necessarily hang your hat on them either. It's nice to see the Sox play well together. Very good to see that the vibes are strong. A good clubhouse can turn a 78 win team into an 84 win team.
  13. It's a modified TJS. There was always a risk that he'd be out the full season. If the team really sucks, why bring him back in August?
  14. According to Yankees fans, this Rodon injury is both unexpected and not a big deal.
  15. @MacCerullo Alex Cora says Trevor Story began taking ground balls yesterday. Definitely a positive sign that he could potentially play at some point in 2023. Did he take them at 2b???
  16. Bloom hasn't shown an interest in fast tracking anyone, even bullpen arms. I don't see that happening with Song if he's returned.
  17. It depends on how Song looks. If he's a lost cause, the next 2 weeks may not matter. DD doesn't care about the bottom of the 40 man roster. He could care about sticking it to the Sox, but it's really just sticking it to Song.
  18. Tony: Another Rob Roy, Bishop? Bishop: You never ask a navy man if he'll have another drink, because it's nobody's goddamned business how much he's had already. Judge Smails: Wrong, you're drinking too much your Excellency. Bishop: Excellency, fiddlesticks, my name's Fred and I'm a man, same as you. Judge Smails: You're not a man, you're a bishop, for God's sakes. Bishop: There is no God...
  19. @tylermilliken_ MASATAKA YOSHIDA WITH ANOTHER RBI SINGLE! Now 3-for-3 with 4 RBI on the day. Yoshida enjoying his time at the WBC. Former scouts and execs hate him!
  20. And then Bloom doesn't put him on the 40 man next offseason.
  21. You ignoring the injury history of a guy simply because of their uniform is ridiculous.
  22. He's probably not close to being ready after not throwing off a mound for several years. May take months before he's ready to be in game shape. Maybe they are holding him back in hopes that his stuff ticks up so that he can look good at the end of Spring Training and maybe try to deal him? Or it's just slow and steady with him. Time is on the Red Sox side, unfortunately for the Phillies. The best thing for Song would be to get sent back to the Sox where he can go to A ball and be developed as a starter over the next few seasons. Being pushed into the pen at the MLB level this season after not pitching for 3+ years isn't ideal. I think he's mentally tough to handle it, but there's a better way to handle the development of a high ceiling pitcher like that.
  23. I don't think much of Yuli, but Iggy could fit in on that Marlins roster.
  24. He's tall. Looks good in the uniform.
