    Betts: 3/27 - 6/8 783 OPS 6/9 - 8/4 489 OPS 8/5 - 9/28 892 OPS I'll just overlook the bad two months and believe he's still got it.
  2. mvp 78
    If he's brought in as the backup, he's fine. I don't want him as the third catcher/UTIL guy as notin suggested. I don't see the Sox making an effort in fixing the catcher position as they have a lot of work to do elsewhere.
  3. mvp 78
    "Reset next year" meant '27 (go over two years, reset the third).
  4. mvp 78
    Jays see 3.77 pitches per PA. Sox see a league Av 3.87. Ernie Clement 3.18! (42.7% 1st pitch swing, 85.5% contact) Free swinger Rafaela 3.61. (48.9% 1st pitch swing, 73.2% contact)
  5. mvp 78
    It's pathetic if you're carrying him as a UTIL/C guy IMO.
  6. mvp 78
    That contract scares me too.
  7. mvp 78
    Why won't they go over the CBT this season? I think the goal would be go over this year and reset next at the very least. If you're a postseason team, you need to try to keep the train rolling.
  8. mvp 78
    He had a down year and was still underpaid per his performance. If he was a FA this year, he'd get more than 210M.
  9. mvp 78
    1 MiLB option remains.
  10. mvp 78
    FWIW, Bellinger's career tOPS+ at Fenway is 72, Naylor's is 91 and Schwarber's is 167.
  11. mvp 78
    His bat is too pathetic to carry as a 3rd catcher on a MLB roster. If they were stashing him in AAA it wouldn't be a problem.
  12. mvp 78
    I don't see Williams's spray chart anywhere. Got a link? I do remember them adding a bullpen to help Williams though! Ortiz's career pull % was 33% with a ton of power. Naylor is 35% with much less power. Bellinger is 37%. Schwarber is 40%, but maybe has the power to overcome how deep the fence is.
  13. mvp 78
    If the Sox wanted to deal Hicks this offseason, he needed to turn his season around at some point. It never happened. I think they are stuck with him this year. Maybe in season phantom IL/DFA or trade next offseason?
  14. mvp 78
    Salary is low, the ceiling is still high (just the likelihood of getting there is a smaller %). No reason to worry about his 40 man spot yet. They can stash him for awhile. They never used Grissom all last season and a rehabbing Casas is far more important than '25 Grissom ever was.
  15. mvp 78
    It may not be a lock he comes back, but it's a lock he's not non-tendered. He'll be at ST in the catching rotation. The contract isn't big enough to clear out just yet and there aren't better options like you said.
  16. mvp 78
    Only 45M? Must be the rising construction costs for all the non-baseball activities FSG has going on around Fenway holding payroll down!
  17. mvp 78
    I'm also not a fan of pull heavy LHB for Fenway. Doesn't seem like a good fit for BOS.
  18. mvp 78
    You pay Casas ARB this year to rehab and get back. If he still looks limited by the injury in September, you can let him go then.
  19. mvp 78
    Which FA would you rather have than Wong? I looked at it for catcher and it left me feeling like Wong was fine enough. Bring Vaz back maybe?
  20. mvp 78
    Hoskins would ball out at Fenway if you look at his swing profile. It's not a sexy sign, but he'd hit better than Bell or Naylor at Fenway.
  21. mvp 78
    It's a lateral move, but they still need to do that AND add elsewhere TBH.
  22. mvp 78
    It's the risk you take when trying to sign injured pitchers. I don't think it was reasonable to expect any innings out of him in '25. He should be ready in '26, but a lot of TJS pitchers are a rollercoaster when first coming back.
  23. mvp 78
    Cease had a 3.56 xFIP. Not sure he needs a prove it deal.
  24. mvp 78
    It will be wonderful listening to Sam/Craig puff up this lineup in the offseason and try to sell some tickets.
  25. mvp 78
    Without Devers and Bregman, it's a downgrade from the offense they started with in '25. C Narvaez 1B Casas 2B Romy SS Story 3B Mayer RF Abreu CF Rafaela LF Anthony DH Duran
