    I may now be too far removed from Boston to answer this question directly and all my go to spots have now closed (RIP Burrito Max and Pour House). However, Boston is very small and walkable. You don't necessarily have to find food or drinks right next to Fenway prior to the game. You can look further out along Newbury St/Back Bay and still be close enough to walk to the game without huffing and puffing.

    He's available then?
  4. mvp 78
    He's averaged less than 10 the past three seasons. Prime Chapman was certainly a legit closer.

    Keith Law is a known Red Sox hater so that's at least a little interesting. These are about as valuable as FanGraphs projections though. 😎

    Jacko hasn't logged in since August.
  7. mvp 78
    Doing that on July 31st is TOO LATE!

    Chapman's last 6 outings: 11 K, 1 BB If he can keep that BB rate around 4 per 9, he's not going to give up the closer's role.

    On a side note, if the Sox are indeed better this year, it'll be interesting what old friends start showing up again.
  10. mvp 78
    This article projects all three to be "back in Boston" by the end of April though. That seemed a little aggressive to me.

    This thread would be much more exciting if our prominent Yankees supporters hadn't disappeared from the board.
  12. mvp 78
    There aren't many "real" closers anymore and I'm not sure what that package would get back. It wasn't necessarily a pro-Foley post.
  13. mvp 78
    If they were lying and they really were rebuilding, why didn't they sell at the deadline in '22 when they had the chance? They didn't really sell off at the deadline in '23 either.

    1. Midrotation starter 2. O'Hoppe and a rando reliever 3. Mason Miller, no! Jason Foley, sure! Is he a "real" closer?
  15. mvp 78
    Not once did Sox FO come out and say "we're in rebuilding mode." Every year they said the expectations were to be competitive and get into the playoffs.
  16. mvp 78
    IDK. It could get higher if he hits again this year. He didn't show much last season and hasn't shown much this spring. He just hasn't put it together in game since 2022 (aside from one good month last season).
  17. mvp 78
    I'd be surprised if all three are back in April considering the injuries and that one is likely to need longer to rehab.
  18. mvp 78
    I really like both of the Garcia Bros and watched a ton of Salem games last spring. I just think they are a bit less valuable than the starting pitching prospects and don't have the ceilings of the hitters I mentioned. Jhostynxon has a decent glove and a good bat, but struggled when he got to AA. Would like to see him bb a little more. Maybe he hits a little better in AA this time around? Johanfran may be a better hitter than his brother, but has a worse body type which may forced him off of catcher at some point. If he's a 1b/DH, he's a far less valuable prospect. If he can stick behind the plate, he could be the next Kyle Teel.

    I'm dumping Bleis on anyone who's asking.
  20. mvp 78
    I'm rooting for Story this year, but another injury and his career is basically over. The best thing for the Sox is for Story to hit like 2019 and opt out or be traded.
  21. mvp 78
    Mayer's biggest issue has been staying healthy. Looking good on the field hasn't really been a problem for him. He's always been a smooth defender and can demolish RHP.
  22. mvp 78
    Judge would have to miss half the season for this to happen. Even if Max Fried goes down with elbow tightness, I think they stay just above .500.
  23. mvp 78
    The 10 guys I'm worried about giving up right now: Big Three Arias Fitts Tolle Early Valera Gonzales Reyes
  24. mvp 78
    I was just comparing the injury situations and the 40 man timelines insofar that he was on the 40 man last season, won't be healthy until '26 and will no longer have options in '27.
  25. mvp 78
    Romero instead of Valera is fine for me. Not sure it works for the Marlins though. I'm not concerned with adding Perales to a deal considering his injury and his addition to the 40 man. By the time he's healthy, he will need to be on a MLB roster (a la Bryan Mata).
