  1. And the added payroll cost of JBJ.
  2. So again, why is this year supposed to be year 1? There are no indications they are going over the luxury tax calc this year.
  3. I'm just not sure that this offseason and this organization are materially different than last year. I don't really see the Sox as needing to splurge on a SS right now. To me, the signings of Paxton, Hill and Wacha show that they want to spend, but aren't going to go overboard. If they wanted to, they could have gone big on a starting pitcher. They didn't. I think that will be the same when they try to plug other holes.
  4. Why was 2021 not year 1? They already hit reset.
  5. I just think they'd be better off trying to extend Bogey and Raffy.
  6. Signs are pointing that way. However, there is so much talk about it that I bet it doesn't happen. Bloom hasn't really signed anyone that we've expected since he's come onboard.
  7. JBJ's split isn't that great, mainly because he's just not a very good hitter. Maybe he gets more AB's vs LHP? Duran had a reverse split in AAA vs LHP, but both numbers were 868+. I take those with a grain of salt though. He had a 4 WRC+ against LHP in MLB. SSS The OF is as confusing to me today as it was last March.
  8. If they don't add anyone: VS LHP 2B Arroyo RF Verdugo CF Kiké LF JD??? DH Plawecki??? Seems like they are missing a RHB in the OF. VS RHP 2B Kiké RF Verdugo CF JBJ LF Duran DH JD
  9. I think the Sox need to give him a legitimate shot to earn a full time role in 2022. I think his trade value has taken a little hit and they may do better to just roll the dice and hold onto him for another year. Maybe he can work with JBJ in ST and get a clue about playing OF.
  10. Player 1 5 year fWAR: 7.1 Player 2 5 year fWAR: 14.2 Which player is more likely to be valuable in year 6?
  11. "Being tied to a FA" is more due to agents across the league trying to negotiate better contracts for their guys. Just because they are in conversations doesn't mean they are remotely close to signing those guys. There's just no chance.
  12. I just don't see Bloom signing one of those massive contracts this offseason.
  13. Lowell was coming off one down year. Before that, he had 5 straight seasons with WRC+ above 100. It's been a long time since JBJ had a full season like that.
  14. I'd rather do my trade. I don't like yours at all.
  15. There's no chance Casas wears a Sox uni until after the super 2 deadline (unless the CBA changes that calculation). I believe Casas will be up at some point in 2022, but probably not until June.
  16. He was just a throw in for the trade guys...
  17. I still want Kiké in CF.
  18. I couldn't stay up that late for every game.
  19. Just reduce the amount of regular season games.
  20. That is one thing that won't change with this CBA.
  21. I'd sign him for 1/3. That's fine with me.
  22. And how often are the worst teams taking 1st round picks at below slot deals? This really is a non issue IMO. It's probably just a bargaining chip for the players.
  23. 864 OPS in 2nd half last year. Had a 237 wRC+ as a 1B!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  24. I know Suzuki is following the Sox on IG, but are they really in on him too?
