    BOS Pitchers: 3.47 Home 4.01 Away The pitching isn't the problem at Fenway. BOS Hitters: 79 wRC+ Home 104 wRC+ Away

    This isn't true. I think most of us BOS fans wanted to keep Beltre around and were upset when he left. The Adames risk isn't worth it. Adames and Beltre aren't similar risks IMO.

    I've been reading that the big reason for the shutdown is that owners (i.e. private equity) wants MLB to be setup more like NFL and NBA with a cap so that they can pull out more $$$. Players want to maintain status quo. If the MLBPA concedes to a cap, it'd be a dramatic turn for them and not a good one.

    Gasper isn't a great fielder, but Tracey is going to go with his WOO guys when he can. He clearly can't trust some of the previously established MLB guys. I'd rather stick it out with Narvaez and have Mickey play DH or 2B. Sogard can go to 3B.

    Dustin May had a perfect game into the 8th. WTH?

    When you have a lineup that keeps losing, just keep rolling it out there.

    What does Mikey Romero need to do differently at the plate to get back to the success he had last year?
  10. mvp 78
    I think he was committed in '22, but the rest of the FO got cold feet. Bloom had no problem with blowing up STL.
  11. mvp 78
    I don't really care about letting Grissom go to LAA. He is a peripheral player. He couldn't OPS 800 in WOO. Trading your Opening Day Starter (per Alex Cora) for him, was really dumb though.
  12. mvp 78
    I disagree. We'll have to see though. I don't think there's any chance the Sox and Giant do this deal.
  13. mvp 78
    I guarantee you that somebody in the FO is looking at it.
  14. mvp 78
    Gold Gloves eh? That's what we're working with now?

    He used to be a guy who posted every day and was left alone. Now he sometime sits, sometimes is leadoff, sometimes is at the bottom of the order, sometimes is DH. It's not good for a guy in Duran's headspace to have to deal with that. He's had a terrible year because of it.
  17. mvp 78
    That's not what the Giants will be asking for though. The Giants aren't asking for Story and Masa, the Giants want prospects. Why do they want Story and Masa? There's no benefit in that?
  18. mvp 78
    His fielding is not at Beltre's level. Adames never had a season like Beltre showed in 2004 or 2010. Unfortunately, Beltre wasted a lot of his prime in SEA. Adames may be wasting some of his career in SF, but he's not a HOF player like Beltre. I think the contract is just too much for him. If it was through '28, fine. It's just way too long for what he provides. Sox have shown that they are unable to absorb bad contracts (Story, Masa) and even had to trade off prospects to eat some (Hicks).
  19. mvp 78
    By winning %, it's the 15th worst Sox season of all time. 2020 was also worse by %. 8 of the 10 worst seasons were from 1922-1932 (before Grove, Cronin, Foxx and Doerr were brought in).
  20. mvp 78
    Sox were 11-20 at Fenway in 2020. They were 13-16 on the road.
  21. mvp 78
    Jarren Duran is having his worst season since 2021. Having him go back and forth between bench, DH and LF is a failed plan. It's not working. Sitting Masa doesn't work as he provides no flexibility for you off the bench as he can only play LF and DH. I don't mind a fulltime DH if the guy is a legit bat. If Anthony is that guy, fine. He might have that ceiling. Masa doesn't. Otherwise, they need to go out and acquire a legit power bat.
  22. mvp 78
    If he INTENDED to fix the logjam, he should have just gone out and done it. You don't have to win every trade. Just fix the log jam. If he INTENDED to sign Bregman, he should have just extended him prior to the end of last year or just given him the no trade clause. Intentions don't matter. It's like the last trade deadline where he thought he had a deal with the Twins for Joe Ryan, but really wasn't anywhere close. He had no fallback plan by the time he realized a deal wasn't getting done. The fact that he wasn't working on a fallback plan at least for leverage is embarrassing.
  23. mvp 78
    Yes. Where are the Cody Ross, Tyler O'Neilll, Adam Duvall, Hunter Renfroe types? Breslow couldn't even go out and get a Bill Hall! Breslow can build a staff, but has no clue on how to find hitters.

    That was my singular point.
