But they actually go and scout the players that we can't see and do a really good job? It's not like other Sox scouts are putting out a free website talking about arm slot, loft, etc. We rely solely on stats to tell us how a prospect is doing. Their scouting goes above and beyond that since they see the players in person AND utilize advanced stats.
If he needs to make the website a paid site, it would be in his right to do it. AND PEOPLE DO CONTRIBUTE MONTHLY TO THEIR PATREON WHICH SUPPORTS THEIR PODCAST. There was a person I was donating to on Patreon who ended up dropping his podcast because it was too time consuming and there weren't enough funds coming in. You realize people need to make money off the product they make right?
It's just crazy that people don't appreciate all the hard work that goes into that sight. To complain about an ask for money is pretty ridiculous.

Trey Ball, a talented two-way player in high school who Red Sox drafted in first round as a pitcher a few years ago, is taking BP in Double-A Portland right now. Has had limited success on mound as a pro.
My coworker's son drove all the way to Baltimore for this game. It's his first Sox game too. If they lose tonight, I'll have to fire his mom. That's just the rules.

In preliminary #RedSox-#Marlins trade talks, source says Miami indicated that Michael Chavis or Jay Groome alone would not be sufficient to acquire setup man Drew Steckenrider. That is one snapshot of the market value for controllable relievers. @MLB @MLBNetwork

Almost all draft picks are played around with when they first start working out with a team. Trying to get a pitcher to adjust his arm slot and develop a 4 seam fastball isn't really anything out of the ordinary.
That's a lot of assumptions. I think a trade for a guy like Fiers would be really cheap. Not a terrible idea. Sox have a ton of bullpen depth. Another arm would always be welcome, but it's not necessary.
