    It's year 3 of Breslow, we may start to hear murmurs around the trade deadline like we did in year 3 of Bloom.
  2. mvp 78
    Breggie wanted this deal to be his last team. He saw the Sox trade Devers away midseason. I think he knew they would also be willing to spin Breggie to another club at some point. Going back to AGon and CC, the Sox have only given partial no trade clauses. Why? "Organizational philosophy."
  3. mvp 78
    The Sox had a big offer out there, I guess they just didn't want to take it one step further to adjust their deferrals and add a no trade clause. Sox just do the "take it or leave it" thing and players always end up leaving.
  4. mvp 78
    I think that's the real rub. He should be a very good to great player as he grows, but it will be his first full MLB season. Expecting him to lead the team offensively is just too much at this point.
  5. mvp 78
    Suarez is an awful fielder and k's too much. The only good thing is that he likes pulling the ball. Maybe he's a guy that gets hot for a month or two. Not sure I'd want him for more than a year.
  6. mvp 78
    If he's on the IL for 7 weeks, they'll get a 4th ARB year for Casas. They should a billion % do that. He has a serious injury and he's not going to be ready for ST or Opening Day.

    Cora wanted to move on from Devers and have his buddy Bregman around. He just didn't realize that Breslow wouldn't be able to get a contract across the finish line. I wonder if he's having second thoughts now with that big hole at the top of the lineup?
  8. mvp 78
    There are only so many moves that are available to him. It has been reported that he's not able to work with very many teams which is why he keeps going back to the Cardinals to make deals. He is financially strung by the models and/or JH so the best FA's will never come here long term. At some point, he'll run out of prospects to deal (Sox already ranked 14th on BA). If there's a plan B, it probably isn't as good for 2026-7 as Bregman would have been. I don't think the Bregman deal would have been a slam dunk to work out, but we were told that the Sox are in a WS contention window right now. If so, they aren't acting like it.

    We can't speak to what JH will do, only what to the ramifications are for going over each CBT threshold. If you can afford to go over the 1st, you may as well go over the 2nd IMO! The 3rd is a different issue as it impacts draft strategy and I can see how that is a no go for many organizations.
  10. mvp 78
    NO 2022: 240M Devers signs extension 2023: 214M 2024: 222M 2025: 243M 2026: 234M+? How is the Devers extension the demarcation line? '23 and '24 were both lower than '22? '25 was basically flat from '22.
  11. mvp 78
    What on here has been a ringing endorsement of Cole's contributions in 2026? 1. The Yankees "may get Cole at some point." 2. Hope it's a roller coaster season for him. Him getting projected for 2 fWAR in a partial season is still a lot more than they got out of him last year, no? Good enough to replace last year's 5th starter. Per Reports, Rodon will be back mid-April to early May and is already throwing.
  12. mvp 78
    Bello is expected to be on the IL at the start of the season to since water is wet.
  13. mvp 78
    Speier initially suggested the Sox not wanting to go over the 2nd threshold. I agree with others on here that there is functionally no difference between going over the 1st and 2nd thresholds. May as well go all the way up towards 284 and the 3rd. Unless yer el cheapo!
  14. mvp 78
    Cole should be back this season, you just hope it's a roller coaster first season back from TJS type year.
  15. mvp 78
    I chose 2019 because that's the dividing line for this franchise. If I went with the beginning of 2023, the Yankees would still be kicking the Sox ass (win%, playoff appearances).
  16. mvp 78
    I'd rather have Ort than Jordan Hicks.
  17. mvp 78
    I didn't put my top 5 in any particular order to be clear.
  18. mvp 78
    Not out of a hat. John Henry's actions have changed since 2019. Betts traded. Everything else happened. That is a dividing line for the current Red Sox. Why go back any further? Since 2019, the Yankees have been far better than the Sox. John Henry has shown no inclination to run his business like he did prior to then.
  19. mvp 78
    Skubal is going to hand the arbiter a PSA 10 rookie and Skubal will walk out with $33M. Those are the facts and the facts are undisputed.
  20. mvp 78
    "In your mind, okay."
  21. mvp 78
    It won't be the record after this year.
  22. mvp 78
    Yankees are still trying to sign Bellinger. They are bringing back the same club that got them to the playoffs last season, plus may get Cole at some point. Orioles made a bunch of moves this offseason, some lateral. After a miserable 19 game stretch in early May, they played above .500 the rest of the way. I don't think they'll be the push over that their record showed last season. Will some of their younger players have big rebound years? Toronto is planning on another big signing and is coming off a WS run. They seem like a stronger team than the Sox. Rays sold off a lot of guys for prospects and seem to be in rebuild mode. Guardians have a bunch of good offensive prospects coming, but lost their closer. Rest of the Central is fine. Astros and the west are in a transition period. A's have some talent, but not enough because of a cheap owner. Yanks, Toronto, Baltimore, Sox, Mariners are probably the 5 best teams if you assume a Breggie signing.
  23. mvp 78
    How are the Sox doing better since 2019?
  24. mvp 78
    Because every agent in MLB wouldn't waste time negotiating with them going forward. To freeze out the other side completely is a bad look.
  25. mvp 78
    Since DD left in 2019: Yankees; 494 - 376, 6 playoff appearances, 2 ALE titles Red Sox: 442 - 428, 2 playoff appearances, 0 ALE titles Evil Empire is currently kicking our ass.
