    All the other orgs that were laughing at the Sox at the time of Masa's signing were right to do so.
  2. mvp 78
    I agree with you.
  3. mvp 78
    Why on Bo? Age. Why on Breggie? More confident on what he brings to the org after previous direct experience.
  4. mvp 78
    Whether they trade or eat 90% of his contract, it's not a big difference to me.
  5. mvp 78
    I'm fine with both in a vacuum if there's a legit plan for 2b or 3b. Schwarber doesn't make sense roster-wise because they still have Masa lingering. Alonso's contract will age very poorly. Will they just sign Bo and move Mayer to 3b? Will they re-sign Breggie and hope for health luck over the next 5+ years? Trade for Donovan and run out a very weak lineup?

    None of the above guys are listed on FanGraphs tracker of about 275 top FA's.
  7. mvp 78
    They've signed a few MiLB guys. Osvaldo Berrios Vinny Capra Alec Gamboa

    It didn't used to be "wait until February for the pieces to be in place." It's very recent that we've had to wait way past Christmas to know what the majority of the team would look like. Adrian Gonzalez and Carl Crawford were both on the Sox roster by December 10th in time for Winter Fest at Fenway (whatever the hell it was called back then). Most of the FA's would actually sign at the winter meetings. Now, everything has been pushed back. Don't be too mad at the fans who were used to the old calendar and liked to have their presents under the tree...

    They can option him until Masa's contract runs out. If he's really raking like 2023 and has no after effects of the injury, DFA Masa and bring Casas up. Easiest call in the world.

    The final pieces for this team could be the top quarter of the puzzle.
  11. mvp 78
    God, I hope not. It's led to only an average of 84 wins over the past 10 seasons (2020 proration) and only two playoff appearances. Sox have averaged 88 wins even with the '20-'24 doldrums.

    DD didn't trade all his prospects (Devers, Beni) when he was here and hasn't done that with the Phillies. With the limited budget, he may be less apt to trade everything as he'd have to grow the team internally like when he was with the Expos.
  13. mvp 78
    As a former external auditor, I don't trust anyone else's spreadsheets.
  14. mvp 78
    The FO over there has been highly regarded. I wonder if the new ownership is doing a bit of tinkering because these moves are a little different than what they've done recently.
  15. mvp 78
    At what point are they going to focus on a WS team?
  16. mvp 78
    Do you think I have an Excel spreadsheet for everyone's takes on here? Be reasonable. Duran was brought up in trade discussions concerning Joe Ryan at the deadline. Ryan was discussed after the season ON HERE and Duran's name was included.

    Barrett Morgan and Leighton Finley move up 20+ spots by the end of May.
  19. mvp 78
    That was last July.
  20. mvp 78
    WEEI used to talk about "Trader Danny" for Danny Ainge. We clearly got a Trader Craig on our hands.
  21. mvp 78
    Duran was initially tied to the return for Joe Ryan. THAT #2.
  22. mvp 78
    Cora had a quote that kinda threw water about him being ready anytime soon, so I think we'll just plan on seeing him when we see him.
  23. mvp 78
    How many trades? They are basically trading for contracts instead of signing them.
  24. mvp 78
    They aren't getting a #2 for Duran. Could they get a prospect haul? Maybe. In fact, that could be the best thing for the org.
  25. mvp 78
    With his option years, it makes little sense to deal him at his lowest value.
