If they cared about Chatham, he would have been up in 2020. He's on his way out IMO.

@alexspeier Red Sox announced that the contracts of Jerry Narron (bench coach) and Craig Bjornson (bullpen coach) weren't renewed for 2021, but the rest of the coaching staff has been invited to return. So: hitting coach Tim Hyers, assistant hitting coach Peter Fatse, pitching coach Dave Bush, assistant pitching coach Kevin Walker, third-base coach Carlos Febles, first-base coach Tom Goodwin, and coach Ramon Vazquez are all back. The team also notes that "special assistant/catching coach Jason Varitek" has been invited back, which may be the first time he's been mentioned as part of the coaching staff rather than as a special assistant to the front office. Just to be clear: He was listed in last year's media guide as a "special asst/catching coach," but in the "major league personnel" section, next to other alum special assts like Ortiz and Martinez. But, Varitek has spent an increasing amount of time in the dugout in recent years. Jimy Williams to Sox on one year deal as manager. Varitek is promoted to bench coach. Get it done BLOOM! -
Don't leg Greg Luzinski off the hook here...

Probably covered under Amendment JJ - Big Is Beautiful and Busted Belt Buckles

If Rich Garces isn't greeting fans on opening day next season, it'll be a travesty.

I think the Sox could just say to Pedey "look, we know you aren't going to play this year and we need your roster spot over the offseason. We either have to waive you or figure something else out. We really want you to retire as a Red Sox." Maybe they think it's more worthwhile to maintain the good relationship and keep him on payroll to just let him be on the bench in a player/coach role? IDK.

I went through the Health & Safety portion of the CBA and there is nothing that prohibits a team from examining their players. If Eovaldi is getting treatment for a work related injury from a non-affiliated doctor, the treatment must be disclosed to the Sox. There is language about an "annual physical exam" of all players in Spring Training. As for signing a player, a failed physical exam seems to void the contract. My favorite language I found was this: Loyalty 3.(a) The Player agrees to perform his services hereunder diligently and faithfully, to keep himself in first-class physical condition and to obey the Club’s training rules, and pledges himself to the American public and to the Club to conform to high standards of personal conduct, fair play and good sportsmanship. If that's the case, why wasn't Pablo's contract voided? Did his health just not go far enough over the line? Maybe it's just language that really isn't enforceable?

“He wouldn’t be a passive investor,” said Wharton School Professor of Management Maurice Schweitzer. “It doesn’t make sense for a level playing field to be a part owner of two franchises. It wouldn’t be a good look and it’d set a terrible precedent.” I agree. It probably makes more sense to sell of his stake in the A's. They don't have a great tv deal and are stuck in Oakland due to the Giants owning a considerable portion of the NoCal market. Sox are more profitable. They have their own carve out in New England. Also, the "Fenway Sports Group" is much more than just the Red Sox.

I think Puello, Chatham, Leyer, Covey, Tapia are more likely to be gone than not. There have been a lot of people that think Springs is very likely to stay. I would probably keep Stock too (at least over Hart, Aybar, Walden, Leyer and Tapia).
-
Castillo's deal is done. There is no more obligation to him as he's a FA.
-
And the point is you don't want him on the 40 man this offseason as it limits your moves.
-
Cleveland is already a public company apparently. I knew the Celtics were.
-
Could be part of it. Especially if the books are going to be open. Will the Red Sox becoming public force NESN to start paying $$$ to the Sox, or is it included as part of the offering?
-
Only way they get more than that is if Betts was a starting pitcher...
-
Mookie had 2 more hits than Verdugo. 2. Betts had 11 more runs. Over the course of 60 games that's one extra run every other series. With this pitching staff, does Mookie get the Sox more than an additional 2 wins?
-
You can trade Eovaldi and not take back a horrible deal like Odor's.
-
In 2019, he hit 30 HRs and only had a WRC+ of 77. Chavis had a WRC+ of 96 in 2019. Odor is not good. Just hitting 30 HRs is meaningless nowadays.
-
Odor: 622 OPS in 2020 Arroyo: 736 OPS in 2020 Chavis: 656 OPS in 2020 Peraza: 617 OPS in 2020 Odor is just an expensive version of Peraza. Pass.

The only way to sell out the Trop is to move the Yankees there.
-
This hurts to talk about.

@Shesta_HOF New to Cooperstown: The cap worn by @maeken1988 on September 29, as the starting pitcher in the first ever Wild Card Series game, has arrived @baseballhall . Thank you, Kenta Maeda, and thank you, @Twins! Now they are just littering the HOF with garbage.

Let's get some good retractable roof talk going for the home town team!

Then it'll just be a travelling World Series like the Superbowl!

Michael Chavis with a good right hook.

Any contract paid to a player who is out long term is not great. However, it was most likely buying low on a guy with CY upside when healthy. If it weren't for the other contracts around Sale, it wouldn't be a big deal. Sox have enough funding to eat one bad salary. Eating Price and Eovaldi and Sale and Pedroia and... is another story.
