You see, JBJ has a really good glove and there's no way that his bat is going to be as horrible as it was in 2021. That was an aberration! You're talking about ALCS MVP JBJ!

Don't give the keys to your teenage son and then get mad when he crashes your nice car.

Sale is off after 2024. Barnes is off after 2023. Whitlock and Story are the only current long term contracts besides those two. They pay Manny and Pedey about 4-5M every year through 2026.
-
They could have just nontendered Renfroe and been better off.
-
And he was ok with paying 12 for Bradley because 7 for Renfroe was too much!

IDK, Texas grabbed Semien AND Seager last season. It just takes one owner to want to take their club out of irrelevancy. These people have the money, they just don't always want to spend it. I think Diaz is the LEAST likely FA for the Sox. That guy isn't leaving NY.
-
Yeah, that's why my last sentence was "If there weren't restrictions on going over the luxury tax, I think the Sox payroll would be much higher compared to other teams."
-
In 2021, weren't they already in 1st place. In 2022, they were well out of contention.
-
Yuck.
-
Well, I was obviously right because I wanted a fire sale even before the season started. They shouldn't have been a below .500 team though.
-
I'm not talking about being in 6th place where they are now, but up where the Mets are.
-
It's the exact same scenario every team wants to do. That's why it's really impossible to do it all through free agency, because you are competing with other clubs that will offer more money to one of two of the guys that you want.
-
I saw a media source in the DR state that the Sox have reached out to him about a 7 year extension and want it done soon.
-
That was the real stinker this season. Like why go over? It was a sinking ship!
-
And they probably didn't dump JD, Eovaldi and others at the deadline as they saw a negative impact on the cash flow in 2012 and 2014 when they did something similar. Maybe that's why they half assed it?
-
Owners get about $110M just from tv rights before they even open the gates to the stadium. With NESN, the Sox haul in far more than that. The Sox are definitely not hurting for cash. If there weren't restrictions on going over the luxury tax, I think the Sox payroll would be much higher compared to other teams.
-
Doesn’t matter. Price is off the books now.
-
Even if they had Margot, it doesn't get them +25 games in the standings and make the beat the Astros in the ALCS!
-
The biggest negative DD had was the the signings AFTER 2018: Sale and Eovaldi and not figuring out how to re-sign Betts. That put the org into a tailspin IMO.

It's working out in 2022. I can't speak to the Phillies farm stuff at all.
-
Low Budget Plan or Mayer and Rafaela in 2024
-
Judge doesn't have health concerns?
-
Castellanos had a 94 wRC+ with only 13 HR's and an OPS under 700. In the playoffs, his OPS has been under 600. He has been horrible this season regardless of his glove. That's 5 years of a bad contract.
-
It is true, Judge holds the AL record for most HR's hit.
