  1. The 2018/19 claims were about the buzzers in the jerseys that were never substantiated.
  2. It was talked about during 2018 and the lead up to the Sox/Dodgers WS. The official investigation was after 2019 because that's how slow MLB is. https://www.foxnews.com/sports/houston-astros-accused-of-cheating-after-man-spotted-filming-opposing-dugout-mlb-investigating https://www.nj.com/yankees/2018/10/mlb_playoffs_2018_houston_astros_cheat_steal_signs.html
  3. Bregman will at least be an average 2B. O'Neill was a big time negative defender in OF last year.
  4. Casas and Yoshida for Arenado and Contreras? NO! Arenado and a catcher for prospects? NO! Are the Sox running a senior circuit here or are they trying to get Campbell and Anthony a path to MLB at some point?
  5. Nobody is going to want Giolito after coming off surgery. Maybe an in season deal, but not during ST. Bello is too cheap of a deal to move as a cost cutting measure.
  6. His problem in the IF is the consistency in his arm which is why some are projecting him to move off the dirt and out into the grass.
  7. Easy to dismiss "everyone I want to get better, gets better" scenarios.
  8. What he gives you is equal or better offense and PLUS PLUS defense, something you've been crowing about for a while now.
  9. Since the day Mike Trout signed his deal: Trout 21.7 bWAR Bregman: 25.7 bWAR 2025 Projections have them producing at about the same level. In order to justify 40M, he really only has to play like 2022 Bregman.
  10. Swapping Masa out for anyone else makes it look a lot more interesting. LF/DH/2B are the hingepoints.
  11. He's championing it because he has to manage Raffy's emotions. They need to work out this change in his career together. He wasn't going to outright say "Raffy is moving to 1B this year most likely" before they even had a replacement in house.
  12. Things looked very grim for a while.
  13. 40M AAV with opt outs every friggin year.
  14. You nerd. His numbers went UP after the trash can scandal. 2017 scandal: 4.0 bWAR 2018: 7.9 bWAR 2019: 8.9 bWAR
  15. If he's ready, he's ready. If Story goes down and Mayer is swinging the bat, why wait?
  16. Bregman '24: 1st half OPS 730 2nd half OPS 833 8/5 - end of season 918 OPS
  17. Having a really bad closer like Hendriks throw off our playoff run, we can't afford NOT to try Bello in the 9th!
  18. I heard that he kind of changed his tone, but didn't hear the quote. Interesting. Cora apparently said something similar, which is why they want Yoshida playing LF more.
  19. Buehler got the most AAV for any one year deal. I think the Sox only wanted to go short on this SP crop. They liked Fried to a point and Burnes only had one destination in mind. Eovaldi/Manaea/Severino/Martinez/Kikuchi/Flaherty/Wacha I don't really care about. Aside from the top 2 guys, there wasn't a guy I thought they really needed to jump on since I really don't trust Snell.
