I feel like (could be misremembering) that the knock on Boston has always been "black players don't want to play here (past/current racism whether true or not) and it's a tough market to play in because of the rabid fanbase." This goes back to at least the 80's if not earlier.
Renteria by fWAR:

Doesn't seem like his one season is Boston is that much of an outlier. The only real outlier is 2003. He averaged out to about 2 fWAR per year.
Right. These teams aren't really losing money. Some may make more than others, but I don't think any of these teams are losing money on a frequent basis if at all.
You complained about me missing your sarcasm, but if you click the link it's pretty obvious how sarcastic my tone was.
Man, you and moon really are the same poster.
I watched this video in grad school 15 years ago. The first 70 seconds is just *chef's kiss*. It's really z best video on fraud that I've ever seen.
They say your conduct may be fraudulent
and they need a closer look.
They're alleging personal enrichment.
They say that you've been cooking the books.
Price had an issue with Eck, not the market.
Beergate had nothing to do with the market.
Crawford's 2011 was wrecked by a hamstring injury, which ruined his biggest strength. He played well during May, but was out soon after in June with the hamstring stuff.
Price's problem wasn't the Boston market, it was health. Pablo was just fat. AGon was great while he was here. Renteria had one bad year and was overrated before signing his deal.
Crawford is the only maybe on that list.

Red Sox OF prospect Miguel Bleis has been the standout performer of the day so far. Tripled in his first at-bat (video below) and also made a great diving play on a short fly ball in centerfield. Very impressive all around tool set.
