    Xander was apparently willing to do a deal similar to Story's last offseason. If that's true, they were dumb to not sign him then.
  2. mvp 78
    They seem to get too cute and it hasn't quite worked in their favor. It probably cost them in this case. At least they got the deal done. As we've always said, they are a big market team and they can afford it.
  3. mvp 78
    The narrative was John Henry hadn't paid homegrown players. Aside from Pedroia, he really hadn't. That has finally changed. They still messed up with Betts. They still messed up by not extending Xander last offseason as the money would have been a deep discount from what the guys signed for this offseason.

    Similar numbers to Adrian Beltre, except the Devers has a higher SLG and his career numbers are still skewed by his age 20 and 21 seasons. Since 2019: 291 AVG 351 OBP 533 SLG 884 OPS 132 wRC+ Higher OPS than Boggs, Brett, Santo, Molitor, Rolen...

    Mata should be on the roster by June. Rafaela should be on the roster after the trade deadline if he's learned more plate discipline.

    Xander 22: 134 wRC+ 15 HR 377 OBP 456 SLG 9% BB 18.7% K Yoshida 22 (119 games): 21 HR (probably regresses to 15 or less) 447 OBP (probably regresses to near where Bogey was last season) 561 SLG (probably regresses to less than Bogey last season) 16.9% BB (10%?) 8.1% K (15%?) I think he'll be decent enough, but I'm not sure he's a one to one replacement. Bogey is a middle of the order bat. Yoshida really is a replacement for 2021 Kiké. Kiké 21: wRC+ 109 HR 20 HR OBP 337 SLG 449 10.4% BB 18.8% K

    Next offseason, the extensions need to be fast and furious.
  8. mvp 78
    Bloom has more work to do, but this is a good start. Pleased.
  9. mvp 78
    Fans who boo’d Henry need to have statues on Landsdowne now. Bullying works.
  10. mvp 78
    There are some people on here that can't stop thinking about this.
  11. mvp 78
    How can we doubt Red Sox Legend Carlos Baerga?
  12. mvp 78
    @BOSSportsGordo I don’t mean to alarm anybody because he’s been hit or miss before, but Carlos Baerga says the Red Sox are soon to announce an extension of Rafael Devers for 11 years $332M…
  13. mvp 78
    What do you mean? These aren't exciting to you?
  14. mvp 78
    Lowball John.
  15. mvp 78
    And Devers was so annoyed by the comparison that he laughed away Speier when he asked about it. So why could we assume that he'd take any offer based on what Olson made? I think he wanted close to the Machado 10/300.
  16. mvp 78
    Automatic jerkoff move. Cool that the banner of this guy's Fangraphs page looks like this: https://www.fangraphs.com/players/kevin-youkilis/1935/stats?position=1B/3B
  17. mvp 78
    Matt Olson doesn't play 3B.
  18. mvp 78
    I agree. I'm not really into rooting against former Sox unless they were jerkoffs.
  19. mvp 78
    Well, I certainly believe his defense will regress. JH? The Padres?
  20. mvp 78
    Doubtful.
  21. mvp 78
    He didn't need a "metric sheet" to hear all the people raving about "Xander's improved defense" which is encapsulated in the fWAR number I posted.
  22. mvp 78
    I don't look forward to analyzing Bogey's deal for 11 more years. It's done. It's over. Sox could have signed him for cheaper.
  23. mvp 78
    He had a career high 6.1 fWAR.

    https://www.masslive.com/redsox/2023/01/what-rafael-devers-1-year-deal-means-for-his-chances-of-an-extension-with-the-red-sox.html A source with knowledge of talks said Wednesday that discussions have been “steady” in recent weeks; that was not the case early in the offseason. Spring training has always seemed like the most logical time for a potential deal and it’s clear locking up Devers is a top priority for the Red Sox both before and during camp. Devers almost certainly will not negotiate during the season so Opening Day is something of a deadline.
  25. mvp 78
    I think he was worth 300 last year, he's probably worth 350 now on the open market at best. He didn't exactly light the world on fire last year and his defense was still -6 DRS. Sox need to show him 300 and see if he'll sign.
