    Are you going to ask about the deductible or out of pocket max too?
  2. mvp 78
    Or just insurance for pitching contracts above 10M AAV?
  3. mvp 78
    O'Neilll will be back on Monday.
  4. mvp 78
    Don't worry. They won't.
  5. mvp 78
    The issue Grissom had last year was hitting the 7 day injured list in September?
  6. mvp 78
    Gonzalez will be in WOO before the end of May. That's close enough for an emergency call up if he's pitching well.
  7. mvp 78
    No real rush to add someone to the 40 man. That pitcher may get a minor injury prior to the start of the season. Just do the roster moves at the end of camp unless you need to add an unsigned guy.
  8. mvp 78
    A lot of these guys were agreed to long before Crag showed up.
  9. mvp 78
    The depth is more AAA youth I guess? Gambrell, Fitts, Wikelman.
  10. mvp 78
    Nut shot.

    @tylermilliken_ Red Sox lose to the Braves 3-2 at JetBlue Park. Now 8-6-1 this spring. .250 record since the 5GG curse.
  12. mvp 78
    Houck's extension would obviously be pretty small. We'll see. Maybe Crag is more forward thinking than Bloom.
  13. mvp 78
    @BOSSportsGordo Tanner Houck told @bradfo that he has talked to the Red Sox about an extension, though nothing is imminent.
  14. mvp 78
    They gotta extend Casas at all costs... @BOSSportsGordo Triston Casas was talking on the broadcast about his big breakfast and pregame protein shake, and says he feels light before the game. @karlravechespn: “What about that makes you feel light?” Casas: “The trip to the bathroom right before the game.”

    Without knowing the terms, it seems like what we'd project for him going forward at his current rate. If he doesn't get any better, it's a little bit of an overpay. It's a good deal though.
  16. mvp 78
    @itsbrianbarrett The Sox finally did something good... Bello 2023 56.2% groundball rate - 3rd among starters (minimum 150 innings) Launch Angle (4.9 degrees) - 4th Getting better against lefties is the next step .313/.361/.522/.883

    @redsoxpayroll Pending additional details, it would look like this for CBT purposes: 2024 - $9.167MM (instead of ~$790k) 2025 - $9.167MM 2026 - $9.167MM (Arb 1) 2027 - $9.167MM (Arb 2) 2028 - $9.167MM (Arb 3) 2029 - $9.167MM (FA 1) 2030 - $21MM (club option) (FA2) He'll be 31 when the option year of the deal ends. We'll likely get more info about real yearly cash, but spreading out the AAV like this means we'll carry the burden higher for 2-3 seasons while benefitting, potentially nicely, every year after. Everything comes back to performance, but if he pitches well, you have a cost-controlled piece exactly in line with the core coming up (6 seasons each, likely starting in 2025).
  18. mvp 78
    @redsoxpayroll Updating the payroll projections, Bello is now 6th on the team in terms of highest AAV, and the team sits at ~$214MM, which is ~$23MM below the first CBT threshold. Damn, they are at the dreaded 215M already. No Casas extension until next season I guess?
  19. mvp 78
    @ChrisCotillo Not that Kiley needs confirming but source confirms these numbers. In agreement.
  20. mvp 78
    @kileymcd Right-hander Brayan Bello and the Boston Red Sox are in agreement on a six-year, $55 million contract extension that includes a seventh-year club option for $21 million, sources tell ESPN. The Sox lock up the 24-year-old into the 2030s.
  21. mvp 78
    That's BTV's value though. Why pay him 11.5 AAV now when he's not getting that in ARB until year 3 at least?
  22. mvp 78
    When you go to Fenway this season, air sickness bags will be located at your seat when you arrive just in case.
  23. mvp 78
    Cron has generally been healthy and even his bad season last year of 82 wRC+ is better than what we've seen recently out of Dalbec. Cron would demolish AAA pitching if he was there for very long. He'd put up Judge '22 numbers IMO.
  24. mvp 78
    Whoever is writing this series has a sick sense of humor.
  25. mvp 78
    Red Sox manager Alex Cora told reporters Thursday that outfielder Tyler O’Neill is battling left calf tightness and won’t accompany the team on its trip to the Dominican Republic this weekend. In addition, right-hander Zack Kelly has been shut down with a sore oblique.
