It's hard not to get trampled under the boots of Henry's shock troopers.

Ramiro Mendoza in a Sox uni was worse.
-
Not heard anything about it. I would try emailing them directly at the contact info noted at the bottom of the page.

It'd be the same argument for Ellsbury to have his number retired in BOS. Doesn't make much sense to me. If you want a low bar for Yankees numbers to be retired, I don't have a problem with it. I just don't see O'Neill as a Yankee legend.
-
John Valentin had a greater fWAR with the Sox in less games than O'Neil did with the Yankees. I don't see the Sox retiring Valentin's number anytime soon.

The second the deal is signed, there will be a flurry of moves. Owners aren't crying poor here. They are just putting out a narrative that the players aren't bargaining in good faith and need to make greater concessions.
-
That's the big question. I think the small market owners are really focused on limited payroll liability as much as possible. If the O's bring up Adley, they won't want to be on an unexpected prearb "penalty" IMO. They'd want to pay him the minimum at most.
-
Any rankings of players after #20 is basically just dart throwing anyway.
-
And the owners don't seem willing to give it up.
-
But one of the leading voices that sits at the table is Max Scherzererear.
-
Yeah, that's how negotiations work.
-
There's a lockout, not a strike? The owners would have to say "let's play this season on the previous CBA" but that have stated that they will not do that. There assumption is that having a lockout now, avoids a midseason strike if no deal is made.
-
What strike? It's a lockout.
-
Not that I can find.
-
You say "cheating" but I say "uncertain tax position."
-
Why do you care about ticket prices? You haven't gone in 20 years. Average ticket price was $39 and that was too much for you. It's not getting back there unless the game craters.

Update: MLB and MLBPA have met for over 3 hours today.
-
If it's just a game, feel free to stop watching at any point?

@SoxProspects In an Instagram post, outfielder Tate Matheny has announced his retirement. The Red Sox 2015 4th-round pick, he spent most of last season with AAA Worcester after beginning the year in AA Portland. He is the son of former MLB catcher and current Royals manager Mike Matheny.
-
Contrary to earlier reports, John Henry was not at the meeting today.
-
The MLB and MLBPA met for over an hour Monday in Jupiter, Florida. It was actually about an hour and fifteen minutes. It's unclear if the two sides are done for the afternoon or are just taking a break, but we'll likely hear more clarity soon. Still, it has to be taken as good news after the two sides only met for 15 minutes last Thursday in New York. MLB has told the MLBPA that there needs to be an agreement on a new CBA by Feb. 28 to prevent delaying the start of the season. There are still big divides on the luxury tax and early arbitration-eligibility, among other things, so the clock is ticking.
-
They were dissatisfied enough to just shut down the whole operation at the end of last year.
-
Baseball was better when it only got to 450 players!
-
I went through the previous SoxProspects rankings and it seemed like about 10 out of the top 20 for each year would get a year of service time at least. Would 5 over the next 40 spots get there? IDK.
