    Let's revisit how half assed this offseason was on March 1. For now?
  2. mvp 78
    90 is close to his k rate too.

    I said they could have not had "a cliff" if they made better FA acquisitions and chose to spend better in '22 and '23. In '22, they still had the '21 ALCS squad and went over the CBT. May as well have spent and additional 20M and made that team a lot better! '23 was a decent team for a while until it fell apart after the deadline when they didn't add.

    Rather than going back in time and finding quotes from YOU stating how you wanted them to spend because you believed they had a chance at the playoffs. 22: 51-52 on 7-31 (the "wait until all these starting pitchers come back from injury" year) 23: 56-50 on 7-31 24: 57-51 on 7-31

    That's not what anyone said.

    They kinda sucked due to FA pitcher injuries in '22 even though they had the same group as '21 AND went over the CBT. That's part of the cliff? The only year they really didn't have anything put together and were between the golden years and a rebuilt Sox was 2023. That was the only team that felt directionless. You're selling everyone on punting one year is a cliff? Bloom's lack of moves at that deadline (and wasting money on Masa the previous offseason) is what got him fired.

    What's the math on the 14.7?
  9. mvp 78
    Cora should have never rested the starters in April 2019. It sent the org into a tailspin.
  10. mvp 78
    So what's the 20-25 cycle then? The throw your hands up it the air and try to beat the market cycle?
  11. mvp 78
    When someone has dug in on an argument for years, they are never backing down by now.

    There didn't need to be any down seasons. JH chose not to invest in the team. The FA's the brought in were bad (Thanks Bloom).
  14. mvp 78
    Crochet is here for 5 more years. Roman is here for 8 more years. It's a big window.
  15. mvp 78
    Twins were just valued at 1.75B in their minority sale the other day FWIW.
  16. mvp 78
    2020: Sale and ERod both were out the whole season. If Crochet and Gray missed 2026, this Sox team would struggle to win 70 games too. 2021: ALCS 2022: Decent team that had injuries, sold their starting catcher and didn't add at the deadline when they were competitive even though they were on track to being over the CBT. 2023: Mediocre team that was kind of in contention for a while that didn't add at the deadline (or sell) when they were somewhat in it. 2024: Decent team that was better than the previous year, but had horrendous trade deadline additions and tanked down the stretch. Didn't end the season below .500 even though starting SS and 3B suffered significant injuries.

    Speier is fine.
  18. mvp 78
    Don't worry, it won't be two big bats. We are no longer allowed to just check off boxes like that.
  19. mvp 78
    They used to spend towards the top of MLB. At some point in 2019, Henry decided he didn't want to do that anymore. He fired DD and wanted to trade Mookie. Now we have people saying we are a midmarket team even though the Sox are THIRD in revenue. 🫣 I than Henry for the 4 WS, but his new way of doing business is not it. It's not how he won the previous 4 WS, it's more like how the prior 86 years went TBH.

    I don't see the deferred money listed anywhere online prior to that aside from what is already listed on spotrac or cots. From mlb.com at the time of signing: Marte will receive $14 million this year, $15 million in 2026, $12 million in ‘27, $20 million in ‘28, $22 million in ‘29 and $22 million in ‘30. The player option for ‘31 is for $11.5 million.

    I could NEVER listen to McAdam on a podcast. It was bad enough listening to him on EEI back in the day.
  22. mvp 78
    Second line: 2018 I don't remember what happened that year... Can someone remind me?
  23. mvp 78
    He took the CBO job before he knew you were limited in the amount of pitchers you could put on an active roster.
  24. mvp 78
    Sam is too busy doing JH's holiday shopping. Cora is too busy wedding planning. Theo? Sox can make us their own Where's Waldo book of him.
