  1. We need to get rid of this batch of pundits. I think we could do a better job.
  2. C'mon, they aren't going into the red. The distributions to shareholders would just be less than in previous years. And if they took a loss in one year, what's the big deal anyway? How many businesses take a financial loss in one year and shrug it off?
  3. This FA class wasn't good. I kinda get it if they didn't spend. If they overspend on Bregman, we'll regret it 3-4 years from now.
  4. This could be nearly every response to anyone's posts these days. We're all just talking past each other.
  5. I looked and we were discussing the Forbes revenue numbers going back as far as the 09-10 offseason. Thanks A700 and Dipre! Come back and post more!
  6. Nearly every team has a record payroll. Payroll across the league is at an all time high. Is that due to JH or inflation? If they only go to 260, they either aren't signing Breggie or they are signing Breggie and dealing another salary away.
  7. They aren't trading Early for two years of Donovan.
  8. Who are the others? AZ - probably don't have Breggie money if they don't trade Marte CHC - nonserious team for FA's atm TOR - signed Okamoto PHI - team probably needs an infusion of youth instead Unless there is a mystery team, BOS is the fit.
  9. Anything above 264 pushes the draft picks down 10 spots.
  10. Attendance was down across the league in '21 and '22. Very cool that in 2025, owners were still complaining that they were unable to spend due to what happened due to COVID. Why is attendance below 2.8M for the first time since 2003? The product on the field has been degraded due to decisions by ownership and the prices are still high. That's kind of on them TBH.
  11. They are doing their due dilligence and making a "Red Sox" offer. They have done as much with other FA's and have given much lower offers than were accepted later on.
  12. Oh, and they believe an offer was real, just don't know how "aggressive" it actually was. If it was 6/171, they believe Breggie would have signed.
  13. I don't know if they hate him. They had him on as a guest and I believe Jared is friendly with him. They like that he's a Boston guy.
  14. Scouting AND analytics. Not choosing one or the other. Spending a lot on both.
  15. We talk about it every time the Forbes report comes out.
  16. Will they spend 300M on payroll? Probably not. If they went to 280ish, I think it'd make most fans happy enough. They are at 243 right now according to SP.
  17. That dwarf JH's wealth or FSG's wealth? And does that actually matter or no? If we're just looking at Red Sox operations and related real estate, NESN operations, etc. I don't think we need to dip into their personal funds the way Cohen does. We know FSG is making more than enough revenue to go over the 2nd threshold, they just don't want to. That another owner has more personal wealth is irrelevant.
  18. Uh, do we have to go back and start auditing posts from the '22 season now?
  19. Sure you can. How do you think the 2004 Red Sox did it? Manny Millar Reese Mueller Damon Ortiz Foulke Timlin
  20. The Dodgers still have the best farm system in baseball and are willing to outspend everyone. I'll guess that they'll have a chance to be better than the Sox. The Yankees rarely miss a postseason, so I'm not counting them out either. Brewers have a monster system and have only missed the playoffs once in the past 7 years so I'll go with them too. Also, with how the past few offseasons have gone, there's a good chance that a few of the guys you have projected to be on the roster will be traded before they reach the bigs.
  21. If you believe these guys can actually play MLB level ball in 2030. What if Roman is a guy that is never an MVP level/All Star starting OFer? What if the other guys don't project the way you expect them to? Then the club isn't very good. If Tolle doesn't get a second pitch, he's not a starter, he's a reliever.
  22. The Section 10 guys discussed that the idea that an aggressive offer was made was most likely leaked from Sam Kennedy. This makes sense as (a) the details aren't known, (b) Sam isn't a guy that is in Breslow's inner circle to know the details and (c) it's in Sam's best interest to make it look like the Sox are actually trying really hard to get Bregman so that he can point to previous reports if Bregman signs elsewhere.
