    Ok.

    Need to keep bullying JH. From an article when Dombrowski was fired: "Henry telegraphed how he planned to spend that fanbase leeway back in January at the Winter Weekend: “Every team has constraints. It’s not necessarily the [luxury tax] that is your constraint. It’s how much money you’re willing to lose.” That grew to “we’re already over budget and we were substantially over our budget last year and this year” during the frustration of the games in London."

    Why are the Sox no longer the big boys?

    Why automatically create a roster that makes you an underdog if you can push the envelope?
  5. mvp 78
    Sounds like a lot for only one year of Marte?
  6. mvp 78
    How does that help them compete with the Yankees who have 3 top 30 starters?

    Whitlock was really great. Many people were hopeful it would be Slaten, but Whitlock really stepped up last season.

    He is a beat guy. Why wouldn't he talk to some shmoe in the FO?
  9. mvp 78
    Top 30 in some categories. Is that the goal now? 😬

    Going through the shop, there's too many alternate designs already. Like c'mon. You can't even get a regular fitted Yak logo hat that isn't courduroy.

    Games played by year (notes from SoxProspects): 22 - 91 (Missed most of a period of about a month in April/May 2022 due to a wrist sprain.) 23 - 78 (Suffered a shoulder injury on a slide on May 7, 2023, and while he only missed a week, the injury bothered him until he was placed on the injured list in early August, missing the rest of the season.) 24 - 77 (After a strong start to the season, missed a few games near the end of July and had a short IL stint with what was originally understood to be a hip injury. He was promoted to Worcester with Anthony and Teel on August 13, but did not play again the rest of the season, as the injury was eventually diagnosed as a lumbar strain.) 25 - 87 (Underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right wrist in August 2025, ending his season.)

    I guess if we're going down that much of a doomer route, might as well not even bother talking about any top tier pitching then. Sox will just be a middle of the road team at best. Maybe they'll get in the playoffs every few years, but no chance at a WS. Root for cost savings and laundry. It's all we have left I guess. 🫡

    Preemptively cutting your scouting program in '25 to save costs in '27 in case of a short term work stoppage is a lot of hoop jumping to me.

    Because another team might trade for Skubal and extend him before then.
  15. mvp 78
    That makes no sense.
  16. mvp 78
    If they trade for Skubal, they are all in on extending him at a massive contract.

    Is that why the Sox are taking a chainsaw to their scouting department budget?
  19. mvp 78
    Maybe over a longer contract he adjusts his approach? It's still a better fit than a pull heavy LHB.
  20. mvp 78
    Per SP, Sox are projected at 24M under right now. They'll be over.
  21. mvp 78
    DD said he's not trading Painter, but I'm fine with these moves.
  22. mvp 78
    Gallen has a QO attached and less than 4 fWAR the past two seasons combined. Pass.
  23. mvp 78
    Murakami is going to be a high ceiling/low floor guy with a big contract and bad defense. I'd go with Okamoto who would have much better defense, which makes me question the overall WAR calc.
  24. mvp 78
    I’ll probably get a Yak hat.
  25. mvp 78
    Salem changed their name to the RidgeYaks.
