    Yes because then we got to see him k for the final out of the WS. Gods be praised!

    This is through 2024 not when Chapman was a FA last offseason. Xander had growing pains early on in his career while Chapman didn't become an MLBer until he was 24. Sample includes a very good '24 Chapman and a very poor '24 Bogaerts. We're talking about where they were at the time of FA, not after.

    That third Wild Card spot is going to taste so sweet in 2026!
  4. mvp 78
    Yup, the Sox will be going the cheaper route at C. No reason to invest at that position right now.
  5. mvp 78
    Xander was a much more complete player than Chapman and much more consistent than Bellinger. Those two guys had a lot of warts. Snell is a rollercoaster of a pitcher. Montgomery was a career #3 who went on one hot run.

    I've heard a lot of negative things about Torii as a person, but nobody deserves that kind of abuse. Anyone yelling slurs needs a permanent ban. No excuses for that behavior.

    I believe Boras had offers on the table and held his players out as long as possible. I think teams are a little over it. Also, his FA guys were all flawed in one respect or another.

    It was cute when only the Cubbies fans did it. Now seemingly every fanbase does it. Dumb.
  9. mvp 78
    He fell into the bullpen? Fans had nothing to do with that???
  10. mvp 78
    Nick Pivetta? O'Neill? Other? None?
  11. mvp 78
    Padres were just trying to sign people for their dying owner at that point. Horrible contract. Probably 100M too much.
  12. mvp 78
    Back end starter that provides value due to his cheap cost for the next 6 years. Could be dealt this offseason because of that value.
  13. mvp 78
    It was the celebration of that fan after the fact that really reminded me how awful Yankees fans are. If he had just knocked a foul ball away or bumped into Mookie it's whatever. Ripping a ball out of Mookie's closed glove and yanking on his arm was ridiculous. ESPN and other outlet's fawning coverage of the dude afterwards was embarrassing.
  14. mvp 78
    Not really comparable, but still really stupid. I'm fine with anyone intentionally doing that being permanently banned from MLB games.
  15. mvp 78
    Which one was injured?
  16. mvp 78
    Soto, but he's going to be almost twice the price IMO. Mookie is the value deal now!
  17. mvp 78
    Love Devers. I'd rather Devers be on the Yankees and still have Mookie.
  18. mvp 78
    Just the value to the franchise of having a marketable Mookie Betts takes the contract from 300 to 400M. Henry was such a dumbass for that.
  19. mvp 78
    Hard to feel sorry for anyone who chooses to wear pinstripes.
  20. mvp 78
    Henry likes to come up with a $ value and stick with it. It always comes back and bites him in the ass in the end. You hire a GM for a reason, let them manage the team's finances.
  21. mvp 78
    His plane will be rolling away that's for sure. I'm sure he has better things to do than spend on the Sox right now. 🧛‍♂️
  22. mvp 78
    Beltre's one year in BOS was a higher fWAR than any season YOOOOOOOUK had here. He was a decent player, but overrated IMO. Mo Vaughn 94-98: 24.2 fWAR, an average of 4.8 Most people today without looking at the numbers would say Youk was much better than Mo probably. Youk is treated almost as a folk hero whereas Mo is the butt of a joke.
  23. mvp 78
    I'm not buying into ANY hype this year. They could be in on a middle reliever and I'm not going to believe it's true.
  24. mvp 78
    If the window is the next 3 years, why not ignore the cap and just go for it while the players are still in their prime? You'll never get those years back.
  25. mvp 78
    People get very upset over the definition of what is and isn't an "ace." On here, people will always use that word to denote Roger, Pedro, Sale and peak Beckett. It may not be a fair term to put on every pitcher that is put in the #1 spot. I don't think Flaherty should be the #1 guy in the rotation. Houck shouldn't either. I think they need someone else to be the #1 guy to lead the staff.
