    Without Judge, they are a below .500 team. Anyone else, they can probably manage the storm somehow. Whenever he's been gone though, they've flat out stunk.
  2. mvp 78
    Not going to happen.
  3. mvp 78
    Keep 4 OFers AND trade for a DH. How does that fix the roster at all?
  4. mvp 78
    Eat salary? In this economy?
  5. mvp 78
    Better than Drohan isn't getting me excited for sure.
  6. mvp 78
    Agreed, so why add Arrighetti if you're dumping Bello? Just leave Bello out of the trade.

    This day and age, it's a roll of the dice with almost any pitcher. Since Suarez isn't a high velo guy, maybe he's a better bet to age well?
  8. mvp 78
    That would be a cursed timeline.
  9. mvp 78
    He could be an amazing defender, just doesn't have the focus. IDK. Something is missing.
  10. mvp 78
    Makes sense that it wouldn't be a DFA. Even if it's just a DSL guy.
  11. mvp 78
    Arrighetti is a fly ball pitcher that gets pulled a lot. Not sure what the point is in having him added. Would rather add fliers on some lower level guys TBH.
  12. mvp 78
    He was injured. Bad extension. Don't extend injured pitchers.

    They are 5th in luxury tax since it began behind NYY/LAD/NYM/PHI, paying approximately $55M (97% of which came before 2020). The problem is, fans got used to them being top 5 and more often top 3 for a long portion of JH's reign. I think that's why it's easy to rant about cheapness when he's still spending more than 2/3's of the league (and yes, a large part of it is due to the overwhelming revenue he brings in). Also, the Sox have a tendency to not see these contracts through to their end, so the idea of all these players being locked up for a certain time period does ring hollow. All we really have is what is being paid out today. Who knows what the move will be tomorrow?

    They thought moving him to the OF would better utilize his speed. It just took a long time for that to bear out.
  15. mvp 78
    Um, actually, this post isn't about Houck and Casas. Did you know that?
  16. mvp 78
    Oh, did you not see the first part of my post? Has every other post for the other 20 pages just been about luxury tax? You said "spend." Luxury tax has nothing to do with spending.

    At what level? HS level? Sure? FCL level? Probably not. He could make Yoeillin Cespedes look like a gold glover.
  18. mvp 78
    276M Lux 205M Cash They're committing to more cash than the Dodgers that are ruining baseball!
  19. mvp 78
    And they moved Raffy to DH before trading him. Why bring a poor man's Raffy to BOS?
  20. mvp 78
    If he was a RHB, Craig would have traded for him by now.
  21. mvp 78
    This is a lie. It's so easy to do on MLB the Show.
  22. mvp 78
    It's not the WORST decision. It's not a great one though.
  23. mvp 78
    That situation is completely the same. It's not like bullpen arms aren't completely fungible and moved all the time. Were the Red Sox just like the '24 ChiSox? They were THAT bad? I'm sorry you had to go through that for 3 whole seasons!
  24. mvp 78
    Did Mike Lowell get a ring for his 8 games played with NYY in 98? He could have 3 rings too?
  25. mvp 78
    If he was merely below average in k% and defense, I'd sign him. There was interest when he was going to transition to 1b. Now? IDK.
