  1. The pitching needs to get better, not simply moonwalk into next season.
  2. I think they got lightning in a bottle with Houck last season. I wouldn't expect it again this year. Trading for pitching without also providing that pitcher an immediate extension is a waste of farm resources IMO.
  3. Why sign Soto if you're only going to give him a mediocre starting rotation? Wouldn't you want Soto AND at least one of Fried/Burnes.
  4. Steamer seems to be weighing performance prior to 2023 a little to heavily for Castillo. For example, his HR/9 has been 1.28 the past two years, but it projected it to decrease. Also projected his FIP to be lower than 2023 or 2024. As with all things, Steamer is a fun little toy just like BTV.
  5. tOPS+ away from SEA: 116 for Castillo last year Why trade for a declining Castillo? They need guys at the top of the rotation, not the middle or bottom.
  6. When did you see Tolle pitch?
  7. If you're in for 11, you may as well accept the final 2.
  8. Their GDP is at an all time high right now. He's going to take a bath on this one! He'll have to assume approximately 175B of government debt.
  9. I've never heard the 40 man called the foundation before. Sometimes you come up with definitions that I'm not aware of. Maybe others are? Chat, is that true?
  10. If there are fans still holding the Jackie Robinson tryout against the new ownership, they really need to move on. Feel free to be mad at Yawkey, but sheeeeesh.... AI could have just said "they let one of the greatest players of this generation go to another team over a few dollars." I would say the distorted or overlooked history of John Henry is that the dude is rather aloof and has thought there was one simple trick to building a franchise. He tinkers every few years and has veered the team off its initial course that was most likely to be competitive year to year (strong farm and strong spending like the Dodgers and Yankees).
  11. From. My. Cold. Dead. Hands. The new stadium will feature a Neil Diamond hologram performing every 8th inning. Also, the scoreboard and all announcing will be run by AI.
  12. It's not a pivot. They will start collecting players from the DR in hopes of enticing Soto to join.
  13. Scientists have found out that there's actually SURGES of activity in brains before they die. This is the only way things like this can be explained.
  14. It's been 4 days since the Thanksgiving rumor of him signing with the Sox. The dum dum who "reported it" said Soto would be in Boston this weekend making everything official and that an announcement would come the middle of this week (which makes zero sense because if it's official and Soto is in town, you'd just announce it right away). A day later, the "report" about Soto's sister looking for apartments was put up on the bad place. As there has been no further corroboration, we're going to need either another wacky gossip story to get us going or an excuse as to why Soto is not announced by Thursday. Any guesses as to what happens over the next few days? Soto didn't sign because he failed the physical? Mets swooped in after there was a handshake agreement? How about a nice MYSTERY TEAM? Werner, Sam and Bres all on board, but Henry pulls out at last second?
  15. Sox need TOTR guys, not more 3/4/5 guys. At his best at age 35 after missing out on a few years, he'd be a 3. With that PR hit, it's not worth it.
  16. Murphy is the foundation? Didn't you want to DFA him the other day?
  17. A drop for Robles makes much more sense as he's been a very volatile player the past few seasons. Wilyer has been a plus hitter since he was called up (135 wRC+ in '23, 114 in '24, 117 overall). In 2023, they played him in CF too much which skewed his defense negatively. He's clearly a corner OFer.
  18. Yes, they should lose the Monster by tearing down Fenway and building a completely new stadium elsewhere in the city.
  19. He pitched all last year in Mexico and no MLB team took a flier on him. Dude is toast. He's the last guy the Sox should take.
  20. The weirdness was a Boras construction.
  21. That's a miss?
