  1. @byJulianMack Mookie: "I’d like to celebrate here in this jersey for sure." @byJulianMack Mookie: "We’re coming here to play the game like we always do." Price added that joining a team like the Dodgers is great.
  2. @ChrisCotillo Betts says he spent week during delayed trade trying to get a place to live. Called the week "fun at times and stressful at times." Price says his focus was on his kids. Says trade talks didn't affect daily routine. "Once we found out we were coming, we were both excited." @ChrisCotillo Both asked about memories of Boston. Betts: "Boston was a great chapter in my life." Price: "We won a lot of games. We won three division titles and won a World Series in 2018. For myself, 2018 was very special there at the end. Those are very, very good memories for sure." Also, side note: @redsoxstats Mets offered Brandon Nimmo or J.D. Davis and one Andres Gimenez or Ronny Mauricio for Betts. They wouldn't include Jeff McNeil. Verdugo, Downs, Wong better.
  3. People seem to think he's a sure thing unless a fluke injury happens.
  4. Today, MLB announced the following rule changes: 26 man roster (13 pitcher max) 28 man roster call up in Sept (14 pitcher max) Reliever must face 3 batters or finish an inning unless there is an injury Coaching challenge time reduced to 20 seconds instead of 30
  5. https://twitter.com/byJulianMack/status/1227700425920409601/photo/1 Betts and Price in a NSFW photo.
  6. Dodgers are introducing Betts in the next few minutes.
  7. Well, we were never able to trade thunder to another board.
  8. I got bummed out last night when I was looking through some cards with my son. We were looking for some of my older Fisk cards (74, 77) because I was trying to explain to him the importance of the catcher position since he'll play a little bit there this season. Anyway, so as I was going through the cards, we kept seeing all the Mookie cards and it kinda bummed us out.
  9. I think Ward is still ranked lower because there is a lot of uncertainty as to what his future will look like as he really came out of nowhere. Right now, they don't believe he has a ceiling as high as Mata's.
  10. Problem is that we have no idea what the luxury tax will look like in 13 years. After the next CBA, everything could be completely different. Mookie's deal will be signed before we have any clue what the next CBA looks like.
  11. I think I came to that realization when Princess Diana died while being chased by the paparazzi. Media and paparazzi are one in the same, just covering different stories. It doesn't help that now the driver for sports news is how many clicks you can get rather than how good your piece is written.
  12. We'll have to see what the bidding looks like next winter. Maybe he doesn't have a great season this year and the Sox can get him for about 300? Maybe someone comes in and does offer 420/12 or more? I have to trust that the FO has a number that they will stop at. I may not agree with that number (being a big fan of Mookie's) and I certainly have a right to grumble about it. I think that once the games actually start, we'll have a lot more to talk about than hypothetical FA markets. It'll be a good thing.
  13. At the beginning of the offseason, some people were saying he'd get 7M AAV. There's no way that's the case now.
  14. @ChrisCotillo The Red Sox are not sure if Dustin Pedroia will report to camp with the rest of the position players over the weekend:
  15. MVP outsourced his posting to India.
  16. Some people don't realize the importance of bench/role players? IDK. I like this move.
  17. If they feel that dumping Mookie was the best course of action, they need to make that move regardless of fan backlash. That's why the nonsense about "Sox trying to back out" was fairly disheartening.
  18. I believe he is one of the few instances where you take that risk.
  19. Sox are going to be criticized no matter what moves they make.
  20. I think that's probably too much salary inflation, but you never know.
  21. Quarantine Sale.
  22. @WEEI Pedro Martinez working with top Red Sox pitching prospect Bryan Mata. Stuff like this is my favorite part of ST.
  23. Need to trade all our pitchers away so that he'll have that opportunity again.
  24. It certainly could. I just believe that's probably the case since they were involved with similar f***ery in regards to Lester.
