    There's no reason to be stuck with guy for 8 years just because they were highly ranked at one point. Once you sign those extensions, they are also harder to trade because other teams don't want to be necessarily be locked into those extensions either. For Roman? Yes. For Ceddanne? No! Not enough upside as you've said. Sox have enough $$ that worrying about retaining him after his arb years shouldn't be a concern.

    I didn't, but did you see my response above?

    His OPS 7/18 - 9/30/26 was 587. Nothing is a given in this league with his approach. He seems to have refined it a bit so far, but we'll see.

    Which corner? All four spots are limited in scope and have their own problems connecting with the base of RSN. The problem with TS is that we are way too hyper focused on the Sox day to day. Majority of fans are much more casual. I'd say a lot of Sox fans wouldn't know who Andruw Monasterio is.

    It's going to be an Opener followed by Bello. Gray tomorrow and Suarez on Thursday.

    Rafaela's OPS was below 650 two weeks ago. We'll see if he can keep up is current pace. I'm not "bending over backwards" I'm just making an argument. Same thing everyone else on here does every single day. 🫠

    The only sham is all these people calling for boycotts and saying they aren't going to watch anymore or that they don't care, but they keep showing up everyday and posting about the team. SHAM!

    Why would you extend someone at FA money? That doesn't make sense. You extend someone with cost savings. If you are extending someone with FA dollars you are a dope. If you extend Bello for low end money and all you get is a low end starter that you are stuck with, it's a loss! You're better off not being locked in with that guy!

    They aren't neutral. They are paid by the hype. They need the clicks.
  11. mvp 78
    Nobody is paying Rafaela 4/100. Glove first OFers don't get that.
  12. mvp 78
    It was either at the bar, at the corner or on sports radio. Just use your imagination.
  13. mvp 78
    The juiced balls are the easiest solution TBH. "We got a new supplier." 🫠
  14. mvp 78
    IDK, Arias is in a real slump in May, 957 OPS. His stock has taken a big hit. No HR this whole month! I'm happy that Mayer has cut down his k rate. If he can keep that low and get through the season uninjured, it's a success.
  15. mvp 78
    Rafaela's "value" will exceed what they pay him, but what they'd actually pay him in arbitration and FA would be the same or less IMO. For there to be cost savings with Rafaela, he'd have to be a 110 wRC+ guy or something going forward. Good glove guys just don't get paid. Bello's contract is fine if you think he has TOTR upside. I think they thought that at one point. Right now, he has 3rd starter upside. With injuries these days, you don't extend 3rd starters. The Anthony deal seems fine. He's going to be given a few years to figure it out and he wasn't really given enough protection in the lineup. It was really disgraceful that they put him out there and made him be the man from day one. Unfair.

    Cora was definitely not moving any veterans off their spots. No way.
  17. mvp 78
    Not now, maybe later in the season. I think KC is part of the reason they didn't re-sign Refsnyder.
  18. mvp 78
    1968 was lower. It's also early May. I'd expect it to get higher as the temps increase. Since 2018, the BA has been below 250 8 of 9 seasons. The last time it had been below 250 was 1972. It was low from 63-72. 1968 was the year of the pitcher (afterwards they adjusted the k zone and the mound).
  19. mvp 78
    Bloom knew he was out of there. He could tell Raffy whatever he wanted and that it wouldn't matter because the blowback wouldn't hit Bloom. He'd be elsewhere.
  20. mvp 78
    IDK, what he has going for him is his RHB.
  21. mvp 78
    Yeah, strike outs have steadily increased over the past 40 years or so. Is pitching just getting better and better? Are hitters just changing how they are approaching their at bats too much? HR's are up, but H's aren't. 2B's aren't. Runs aren't. Hitters are just trying to hit flyballs and if they don't go out, OFers just catch them for easy outs. If it really is just the pitching is too good, they'll need to adjust the mound again.
  22. mvp 78
    I used to have faith in the org cranking out offensive players. I don't anymore.
  23. mvp 78
    Is he closer now than he was last year? Yes. Is he closer now than he was at the end of '24? No.
  24. mvp 78
    They were so locked on being proven that their system worked that they forced him onto the MLB roster after he had a horrible ST. He hit well for a few weeks and the fell off the map and wasn't even able to hit AAA pitching. Injury? Lack of confidence? They clearly rushed him last season.
  25. mvp 78
    Seems like he's completely done playing C? Seems fine if he's just going to focus on mashing and for a guy with the injury bug. He's also still only 22 (Rule 5 eligible this year).
