  1. That's not what anyone said.
  2. They kinda sucked due to FA pitcher injuries in '22 even though they had the same group as '21 AND went over the CBT. That's part of the cliff? The only year they really didn't have anything put together and were between the golden years and a rebuilt Sox was 2023. That was the only team that felt directionless. You're selling everyone on punting one year is a cliff? Bloom's lack of moves at that deadline (and wasting money on Masa the previous offseason) is what got him fired.
  3. What's the math on the 14.7?
  4. Cora should have never rested the starters in April 2019. It sent the org into a tailspin.
  5. So what's the 20-25 cycle then? The throw your hands up it the air and try to beat the market cycle?
  6. When someone has dug in on an argument for years, they are never backing down by now.
  7. There didn't need to be any down seasons. JH chose not to invest in the team. The FA's the brought in were bad (Thanks Bloom).
  8. Crochet is here for 5 more years. Roman is here for 8 more years. It's a big window.
  9. Twins were just valued at 1.75B in their minority sale the other day FWIW.
  10. 2020: Sale and ERod both were out the whole season. If Crochet and Gray missed 2026, this Sox team would struggle to win 70 games too. 2021: ALCS 2022: Decent team that had injuries, sold their starting catcher and didn't add at the deadline when they were competitive even though they were on track to being over the CBT. 2023: Mediocre team that was kind of in contention for a while that didn't add at the deadline (or sell) when they were somewhat in it. 2024: Decent team that was better than the previous year, but had horrendous trade deadline additions and tanked down the stretch. Didn't end the season below .500 even though starting SS and 3B suffered significant injuries.
  11. Speier is fine.
  12. Don't worry, it won't be two big bats. We are no longer allowed to just check off boxes like that.
  13. They used to spend towards the top of MLB. At some point in 2019, Henry decided he didn't want to do that anymore. He fired DD and wanted to trade Mookie. Now we have people saying we are a midmarket team even though the Sox are THIRD in revenue. 🫣 I than Henry for the 4 WS, but his new way of doing business is not it. It's not how he won the previous 4 WS, it's more like how the prior 86 years went TBH.
  14. I don't see the deferred money listed anywhere online prior to that aside from what is already listed on spotrac or cots. From mlb.com at the time of signing: Marte will receive $14 million this year, $15 million in 2026, $12 million in ‘27, $20 million in ‘28, $22 million in ‘29 and $22 million in ‘30. The player option for ‘31 is for $11.5 million.
  15. I could NEVER listen to McAdam on a podcast. It was bad enough listening to him on EEI back in the day.
  16. Second line: 2018 I don't remember what happened that year... Can someone remind me?
  17. He took the CBO job before he knew you were limited in the amount of pitchers you could put on an active roster.
  18. Sam is too busy doing JH's holiday shopping. Cora is too busy wedding planning. Theo? Sox can make us their own Where's Waldo book of him.
  19. 1. Bregman Sox cap 2. Victory lap 3. Breslow nap
  20. Cold stove is looking like Han at Jabba's Palace.
  21. If they say it out loud, don't listen. All the moves they have done have been under the radar. The only one that was telegraphed was the Alex Bregman one and that seemed to be Cora/Sam dragging Breslow over the finish line.
  22. I think Rosenthal is saying that his luxury hit would go down in '26 if he was traded and that would be the new tax calc. For some reason, he has a decreased salary in '27 which makes the luxury tax calculation screwy when reevaluated in the short term. 🤔
  23. I don't agree with this. The prospect list is getting weaker every time Breslow makes another trade. This is the weakest top 20 since before Mayer was drafted IMO.
