To me, you can asses blame without assessing wrongdoing.

Collusion
-
And his performance in 2020 didn't really elicit a pay increase. Seems like a reasonable contract to me.
-
Sox shouldn't have hired a re-tread like Cora!
-
How do you allocate the blame pie for the pitching woes? 10% Dave Bush 25% Chaim Bloom 25% John Henry's Checkbook 30% COVID and injuries 10% SSS
-
I think that seems like a pretty good deal for Ray. If this market was really down, why would Ray get offered 8M?
-
MLBTradeRumors had projected him at 1/6M.
-
Robbie Ray just signed 1/8 with TOR. That doesn't seem like a huge underpay to me. Will be interesting to see how the FA's shake out going forward.
-
I would do that in a heartbeat. Not sure Xander would.
-
And just as an FYI, the Sox were a top 10 offensive team this year (even with miserable years from Beni, JD and Devers). I think the vast majority of this year's offseason should be spend fixing the pitching staff. The offense was fine.

Red Sox Team Stats 2020: 25th in starter ERA, 30th in starter WHIP 27th in reliever ERA, 28th in reliever WHIP I think they need to focus on both if they want immediate improvement. However, the Sox bullpen lead the league in IP. Maybe having better starting pitching would keep them from having to put so many innings on a poor relief crew? Maybe adding more starters pushes some better pitchers into a relief role which gets rid of some of the truly terrible relief options that were on 2020's staff?
-
What's the hold up on trading DHern (aside from being a cost controlled asset)? It seems pretty obvious he doesn't have starter upside anymore.
-
Let's see... Limited job market (only 30 positions in the US and no other available openings). Check! Currently have no job. Check! Job pays well. Check! Enjoyed working for employer before. Check! A few grump people who complain about everything anyway will be upset. Damn, looks like I need to find a different career!
-
Remember how excited you were about the drills Bobby V was running in Spring Training?
-
The team that has the most WS wins over the past two decades? Why would anyone want to manage there???
-
Yes, what a dumb idea to try to go to a team that is consistently top 5 in payroll!

Who should the Sox have play CF on opening day?

He didn't say that. He said Duran's ceiling was Fraley. Just LOL. That's not what a ceiling is. -
Duran did OPS 806 over a 30 game stretch from 7/23 - 8/23 in 2019. He started off his promotion incredibly cold.
-
Yeah, probably! He seemed to have worked out some new swing mechanics this year with a drastic increase in power. He had to retool his swing completely after playing at Long Beach State where they force the same hitting style on each player.
-
Now compare his defense from 2019 to 2020.

Fraley is graded as 55/55 speed, Duran is 70/70. I'll disagree with you on this "ceiling." -

Not a Cam Cannon fan? -
IMO, having Cora there will be great for the younger players. I know Devers thrived under his direction.
