    CJ Abrams is a pretty bad defender at SS (career -45 OAA). If the Sox are acquiring him, they should be moving him to 2b instead of Story.

    It's not booming. All the revenue that is being generated are basically related party transactions. There is no boom. ChatGPT actually saw activity decrease the past two months. The company valuations are fake. What AI can do is limited, especially when talking about LLM's.

    They shot themselves in the foot by thinking they had Bregman in the bag, that's for sure.

    2025: 5th highest contract given out (Soto to Mets at 765M) 2024: 1st and 2nd highest contracts (TOR in on Ohtani, Yanks and Mets had similar offers on the table for Yamamoto) 2023: Largest contract was 1/20 to Kershaw 2022: 4th highest contract to Freeman So people are just mad about the Ohtani/Yamamoto deals then? That's what ruined baseball? Ohtani chose to stay in the LA area and Yamamoto wanted to play with Ohtani? Seems like you should be mad at the players rather than the org? Other teams had the same money on the table for those guys and could have gone larger if they wanted. It's not like LA was blowing everyone out of the water.

    The Dodgers have signed: Edwin Diaz 3/69 Miguel Rojas 1/5.5 Andy Ibanez 1/1.2 How can they be allowed to keep ruining baseball like this???
  6. mvp 78
    Only a true sicko would do that.
  7. mvp 78
    Yes.
  8. mvp 78
    Their goal was to make the IF defense better this year. Signing Alonso and Suarez would not meet that goal.
  9. mvp 78
    But they signed the highest AAV pitcher since Price last season!!! 30 pitchers signed for higher AAV's since 2020 than Walker Buehler, none by the Sox and many of whom should have been signed by the Sox.
  10. mvp 78
    They said they wanted to focus on defense this offseason. Why would they upfront sign Alonso? If they signed Alonso and Suarez, the IF defense would be a nightmare, especially with Story's regression.
  11. mvp 78
    I disagree. They don't budge on anyone. Every player resides in their own vacuum.
  12. mvp 78
    Hell no. They go by their models. Why would they ever disagree with their models?
  13. mvp 78
    That's ignoring how horrible Alonso's glove is and how good Bregman's glove is. Alonso is probably set to be a DH in 2-3 years. Bregman can stay at 3b for the full term of his deal, which is why he's going to be paid more.
  14. mvp 78
    LOL... Savant says 48, but we'll just go with your models I guess???
  15. mvp 78
    Breslow isn't a great communicator. This has been known going back to the time of his hiring.
  16. mvp 78
    The Bregman deal was less of an overpay than the Alonso one. Alonso last 3 years: 8.5 fWAR Bregman last 3 years: 12.1 fWAR
  17. mvp 78
    He says the same thing every time he misses out on a deal. Why would this time be any different?
  18. mvp 78
    It's not an overpay if that's what the market is bearing. Two teams were in that ballpark. Last year, another team was up there too.
  19. mvp 78
    It's the point in the offseason where it's almost "best player available." They can still bring in a premium player at another position and grab a stopgap for 3b (like Arenado).
  20. mvp 78
    I'm worried about regression with Giolito's numbers too. His ERA should be closer to his FIP or worse next season. He was lucky as all get out in '25.
  21. mvp 78
    Per AJ Pierzyski, Breggie was frustrated the Sox didn't meet his market after their initial offer. Breggie went back to them with the higher offer from the Cubs and the Sox didn't believe it existed. Refused to bring their offer up as it would be bidding against themselves.
  22. mvp 78
    That is not true. A lot of accountants die in their chairs. Many public firms can't get their partners to retire and churning those spots to younger senior managers.
  23. mvp 78
    I don't think it's likely that they acquire Donovan AND Arenado. Probably one or the other.
  24. mvp 78
    All we know is the Sox got outbid again.
  25. mvp 78
    Notin referenced Ranger Suarez in the post before mine.
