I think they'll take a little step back, but still win the division. It really depends on when Fried's arm gives out.
-
Pre-Pedro? -
The post Mookie trade Sox are basically the pre-2003 Sox. Maybe we can luck into a 1999 season?
-
When the Yankees lost Judge to an injury, they became a .500 team in 2023.
-
Last year was way more enjoyable than '22 and '23. The record was marginally better, but the team was more enjoyable to watch by far.
-
If it was truly between DET and BOS, I think he'd be here on a cheap deal. I don't see him coming here if the Astros deal is on the table and if the reports of the PHI being the mystery team are true.
-
No. If he had 4 more healthy years, he'd be in the conversation.
-
I've learned to never trust ownership (JH, Werner, Sam) and just expect the Sox to be around .500. Any signs of life better than that and I'm happy. I have no control over the direction of the Sox so I can't fall into a morass of negativity over it.
-
Notin is still hoping for Laureano most likely.
-
If the Astros still have their original offer on the table, he isn't coming here.
-
Bell is blackpilled on the Sox again. 😩
-
Diddlesquat may be a better contract over the long haul.
-
Grichuk probs.
-
Then the above post wasn't for you. I didn't say the 7th inning was ok, I said "the 7th for Chapman was great, the 8th was ok and the 9th was change the channel."
-
He didn't say how good the RHB had to be.
-
They aren't acquiring a closer at this point. The closer is already in house. A catcher who can play D and isn't bad on O is like a 3 WAR player. Hard to come by.
-
Just because you need one, doesn't mean you need an aging one for 5 years. They've had enough 1 year guys over the years that they can get another.
-
Honestly, it's the best use of the money too rather than eating a salary and sending him away. He's still a guy who should reliably give you 110 OPS+ and can get hot for a month or two. I think there's a way to use him that makes sense.
-
Some people on here are very obsessed with the projections so let's look at the Sox RP acquisitions: Chapman 0.8 fWAR 10.75M (tied for second highest projected fWAR on a reasonable contract) Wilson 0.5 fWAR 2.25M (same projection as Minter, but for 25% the price) They didn't want to go multi-year. I thought Kittredge a 1/10 was up their alley. Too bad Martin didn't want to stick around for one more year. He would have been the ideal addition to shore up the 7th/8th inning.
-
They either need to eat Masa's salary and trade him, or just keep him around and hope for the best.
-
It's hard to say what Breslow (or Chaim for that matter) would do without the fiscal limitations. I like how he's transformed the pitching development and he has focused more on the MLB squad than the prior CBO. I also give him more credit if he's also holding firm against the Bregman signing because he doesn't like the guy when Cora and Sam really want him.
-
Not sure the Will Smith comparison is entirely fair. Smith is an elite offensive catcher and was 100th percentile in caught stealing. He also had 3.5 bWAR to Wong's 1.6. His defense isn't great, but there are enough other pieces of his game that are great that you can hold your nose over his framing. Wong was 25th percentile or worse in most offensive categories AND a bad defender. I'm not sure many of us on here even saw him as a breakout star? If you go by fWAR, his 1.1 is lower than what Vazquez had in less than 50 games in 2020. It's just not good enough when you look at the overall picture.
-
They aren't going to take Yoshida. The point in the Cards moving Arenado was a salary dump. It makes no sense for them to take on another contract. I think the Sox grab a low contract guy like Grichuk and move on with their lives.
-
Horrible.
