    Breslow did get some things right this year:

    I liked the Cards in the 80's when they had Ozzie Smith and played small ball. Haven't cared since the Wiz retired.

    How could you say that?! Shugart was the Red Sox MiLB reliever of the year!

    I don't think it's a big part at all. Ward and Drohan were both expected to be taken early on in the Rule 5 process. They clearly valued the open space on the 40 man for offseason moves for middling relievers above having those two on their roster. My guess is that either Ward or Drohan could have been dealt cheaply prior to the Rule 5 protection date if they wanted to.

    As devil's advocate (and original Jhostynxon #1 fan), putting him on the 40 man now looks like this: Option Year 1: AA (age 22) Option Year 2: AAA (age 23) Option Year 3: AAA/MLB (age 24) 2028: MLB, no options remaining (age 25, current age of Wilyer Abreu) With the scouting questions about his hit tool, it may make sense to just have him go through another year not clogging the 40 man. He's a good, not great prospect. He can play all 3 OF positions and has power (that was bumped up a lot by his home numbers in GRE). Under a different CBO, there is a great chance they protect him IMO.

    The trade sucked, but Chris Sale was great for BOS while he was here. I hope he can get back on a HOF track.

    Last year, the only players they added were Wikelman and Perales. Ryan Fernandez and Shane Drohan were both taken in the draft. Ryan Fitzgerald was taken in the MiLB portion. Breslow seems to be aggressive in letting guys run through the Rule 5 process. We also tend to overproject the amount of the players that the Sox protect prior to the draft. Garcia may be one of those guys that gets another year before he's put on the 40 man.

    I followed the Doyers when I could listen to Vin Scully on the radio. Otherwise, I don't care.

    I don't root for other teams, but it would be very cool if the Tigers had a little run this postseason. They would have gone from sellers at the deadline to an improbable postseason run. They haven't won a playoff game since Torii Hunter fell into the Fenway bullpen. They were under .500 8 of the previous 9 seasons. Aside from Skubal, most people couldn't name their other players. Honestly, I root against teams with too many former Red Sox.

    If that's the case, the original post could/should just be: My realistic view is 2025 tge Sham Continues. 😎

    The current CBO/POBO is just a lame duck. Just like in SF where Buster Posey started extending guys before he had the job, Bloom probably has the power.
  13. mvp 78
    Garcia isn't a pitcher. I'm not sure you can compare him to those 40 man guys.
  14. mvp 78
    No, I disagree.
  15. mvp 78
    What about a straight salary dump for a low A player and have the Cards take the whole contract?
  16. mvp 78
    AZ could go as well.
  17. mvp 78
    I like Garcia a lot, but he only hit 706 in AA after being called up. There are still questions about his overall hit too as he climbs the ladder.
  18. mvp 78
    Eddie Romero Jr is a better fit. His dad played for the Brew Crew.
  19. mvp 78
    Chris Sale is pitching Game 162 in a half hour or so to get the Braves into the playoffs. If they lose, they go home.
  20. mvp 78
    Absolutely bonkers Game 161 between the Braves and Mets right now.

    01: 2nd 02: 2nd 03: 6th 04: 2nd 05: 2nd 06: 2nd 07: 2nd 08: 4th 09: 4th 10: 2nd 11: 3rd 12: 3rd 13: 4th 14: 4th 15: 3rd 16: 3rd 17: 3rd 18: 1st 19: 1st 20: 3rd 21: 3rd How can you give ownership cover and say "well other teams raised their payrolls a lot." This didn't happen magically. Henry and Co pulled money out of payroll and applied it elsewhere. The Sox still charge at the top of the market for tickets. They still own their own network and have a ton of real estate in the area. If they aren't putting $$$ back into payroll, it's by choice! 10th isn't good enough. We don't treat this team like a midmarket! We aren't charged like a midmarket! If they continue to artificially deflate payroll, they will see more and more fans walk away. They say the end goal is October baseball and winning the division. It can't be if they aren't going to legitimately invest in the MLB team. The only reason they won 4 WS was because they combined a high payroll with some home grown talent. They need to do both going forward.

    He always just looks like he's ready for October to me. 🧛‍♂️

    Just wait until Brock realizes that Yeszir was misusing mark to market accounting to prop up the value of TalkSox, Inc. prior to the sale!!!

    We can still do polls here?
