I guess it depends on the market. If there wasn't a lot of high end talent that didn't fit your needs? Sox needed OF, SS, SP. I honestly didn't see them going 30M on either OF or SP. I'm not sure Nimmo is the best fit for the current Sox OF construction. Judge would be, but they weren't outbidding everyone else. The starters that have been signed I didn't project to sign with the Sox either. Maybe 30x3 in another year?

I always thought it was "marquee" like the sign, not marquis like the ranking. ... Per wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marquee_player
-
If he was 30, he'd be getting a massive contract like Diaz.
-
His statcast numbers are still strong. He may trail off a little, but he can at least give you a Timlin like presence for 2 years if he struggles a little. He still k's a lot of guys and his velo hasn't dropped.
-
He signed a CLOSER with 79 saves the last two years. Sounds like a guy you should like?
-
Now I look forward to everyone typing Jensen all season long rather than Jansen.
-
Does this count as the MAJOR SIGNING?
-
I'd rather do one at 30, a few at 15-20 and the rest just fill in as needed. The 7-9 was a big flashing warning sign to all of us. Yikes. It's Bloom's bed that he's making. If it doesn't work out. He's gone. No final judgement until 4/1 tho.

Something had happened. A fuse blew and I had gone out of my skull. I became conscious that a steady torrent of obscenities pounded out of me as I screamed. YOU NO GOOD DAMN KNUCKLE ROTTER Did you hear what he just said? Ralphie, your mother!
-
The Padres are the new interest kings. Sorry Bloom. You are 2nd best at that now too...
-
The Semien signing looked really bad early on last season. We'll see how that one goes. If Story sticks at 2b, his defense should at least give him good value to offset his k rate. If he stays healthy, he should be fine.

Deep within the recesses of my brain, a tiny red hot little flame began to grow.
-
Call me crazy, but I thought the bullpen could be handled by just throwing some of the younger guys in there like Winckowski, Crawford, Murphy, Mata, Ward. They won't all work out, but it would be a better use of funds than going to the FA market where prices are inflated. Use the FA money to fill what your org doesn't have at the upper levels: OF, SS, DH, SP, etc.
-
Uh, yup. Maybe one big signing? Maybe...
-
Larry Walker is already in the HOF.
-
Honestly, this is good for baseball.
-
Depends on which front office and what deals they would have signed instead.
-
This is what Verdugo defense in RF gets you.
-
Makes sense.
-
We can't. Need to make sure we can reset in 2029.

@jay_jaffe Commissioner Rob Manfred about automated ball-and strike system and its possibility for adoption in 2024: “We learned a lot about ABS in 2022, suggesting we’re not done learning about ABS.” Adds that a lot would depend on structure of proposal to players

Sox did meet with Boras about Xander last night, per Pete Abe "no progress was made."
-
Boras on whether or not they'll go back to the Sox with a matching offer: @MacCerullo Full quote: "We're not the matching kind. We let teams know they have to assert, we don't ever hold back from reaching an agreement with any team and certainly we don't give market preference to anyone otherwise I think the free agent right would be damaged."
-
@redsoxstats MLB Network saying the Red Sox, Yankees, Blue Jays, and Mariners are in Masataka Yoshida and there should be a competitive market for him. Kodai Senga has a robust market and teams are rating him near Rodon, the guess is over $20M AAV. Senga at 20M?
-
@ChrisCotillo Red Sox open to a catching upgrade but nothing going on with them and Willson Contreras, per source. As others have reported, lots of leaguewide interest in Christian Vázquez. Sox meeting with his reps today but they represent a few Cs on open market so unclear the nature.
