  1. You had to win 2 rounds of playoffs back in 04 too. There's no real difference now except your complacency.
  2. It's not the bands setting the prices...
  3. Everything goes by his desk per his bike ride to WEEI 25 years ago.
  4. I didn't care then and I care even less now. They have lost so much trade value in him and it's all your fault. 😤
  5. Sandoval 2/18.25M Same offseason: Andrew Kittredge 2/18M Josh Bell&Kyle Finnegan 1/12M Grichuk&Martin Perez 1/10M There are lots of ways to spend Sandoval's money and reclaim value in '25 and either have a guy for '26 or have money left over to spend.
  6. Yes, it's almost certainly the case from what we've heard.
  7. 2024 doing a LOT of lifting for Duran. "Actually, if you average out his last three seasons, he's still a 4.5 WAR guy!"
  8. I'd rather hit Abreu 5th and Adley 6th. Just personal preference if Contreras is hitting 4th. Abreu also has higher power potential.
  9. Now you're just naming draft picks. Trey Ball never really ranked high anywhere.
  10. They used de la Rosa to get Schilling. Casey Kelly was traded for AGon. That's the best use of a prospect, no? Why should we care what happens to a prospect once they are dealt?
  11. Third in revenue, first in cheapening out on the coaching staff!
  12. Abreu started hitting 3rd 106 times last year.
  13. 7 years ago was 2019. Roman, Mayer and KC hadn't even been drafted yet. They weren't dumping Mookie and others "to make room for prospects." They dumped all those players because they didn't want to pay large salaries anymore (and still don't). Do you consider Franchy Cordero a homegrown player, because that's the type of player they ran out from 20-23? They youth movement didn't really start until '24 with Rafaela, Abreu, Duran, Bello given fulltime roles and some extensions handed out. That was all under Breslow.
  14. Nobody wanted KC going into 2026. I don't believe that.
  15. Anyone pinning "lots of hopes" onto Arias is misguided. He's a good prospect, but is a bottom of the order bat right now. He's got a better glove than Story, but his bat could be a downgrade.
  16. Crazy that the Sox are treating the coaching hires as if they have a coaching luxury tax they have to worry about...
  17. Keeping a 40 man spot vs keeping a 26 man spot are two different things. You can stash Casas for 3 more years since he has options. He can be the king of WOO if Breslow wants him to be.
  18. Never posted here. Wrong website.
  19. Who is screaming to make room for kids right NOW?!?!?!? There are no kids to make room for! Arias? He's a good prospect, but he doesn't have to be up Opening Day. I think you're making up a problem to be made about this offseason.
  20. Nobody in their right mind would have a HS prospect in MLB that quickly unless they were a top 5 pick. Moss, Lowrie and Murphy all had decent careers. Manny was traded in 2008. The return for the Manny trade was off the roster after 2009. Ortiz had 54 bombs in 06. Somehow, the story doesn't quite work to me. A depth chart is just a depth chart. It doesn't really mean Jason Place is going to be in BOS. It just means he's the 10th OFer or whatever. Who cares? I don't see anyone wanting to give up on Ortiz at the height of his powers. People didn't start turning on him for a few more years.
  21. Josh Reddick 2012: 35 HR, 85 RBI, 85 R, gold glove He was decent with BOS, but I don't think he was really overly hyped. I think you're just trying to list off a bunch of prospects from yesteryear for some reason. The hyped OF prospect at the time was Kalish.
  22. Wily Mo had already played 300 G for the Reds!
  23. Who said anything about going to a Rays game? Nobody does that. Haven't you seen the pictures? Can't even fill up the seats during the playoffs. "Fans" were complaining about $80 ALCS tickets and having to stay late for a game when they have to work the next day. It's a fanbase undeserving of a new park.
