    The Devers trade was a straight salary dump. Unfair to link Durbin to him at this point. Most likely Durbin ends up being a 2b here than a 3b anyway.

    Where'd you get those splits for Eaton? Career (FanGraphs) Home 591 Away 627 Eaton hit really well at Fenway last season (874).

    He is not better than Eaton or Monasterio.

    John Henry does not believe this. He believes that every season not making the playoffs is a failure. This is why he pushed Bloom to make moves at every deadline and fired him for not being able to do so. He buys into the idea of a self sustaining contender and was willing to take a step back, but wanted to try to compete while doing so. He wasn't happy with the 78-84 win seasons. If he was, he would have just kept Bloom! He wants to be a playoff contender while spending closer to the Cardinals/Cubs/Giants than Dodgers/Yankees/Mets.

    Hoy Park may have had a longer term.

    I have Mr Gelof on hold as well. I can probably hang up on him, right?
  7. mvp 78
    Mr McKinstry on line 2 for you, sir.

    He's a terrible baseball player who is lower than the other 40 man roster guys on the depth chart simply because he doesn't have options or a 40 man roster spot. He's stuck in AAA until they need someone else to play in WOO.

    We have no idea and may never know.
  10. mvp 78
    Yup.
  11. mvp 78
    What it shows is that he's not a good hitter away from Coors. That's why he signed a MiLB deal.

    It has been empty for a while and it has prevented the Sox from being truly competitive or lowering their ceiling. Even dumping Devers last year changed the outlook on last season. Will this year be different? It's hard to say. They are spending money, but they are constantly getting outbid for the players they are known to be bidding for. If you are always readjusting to Plan C, D and E, it's easy to see why people can remain skeptical. Also, YOU have been a person that has continued to call this a "mid market" team. They are not. They are a large market team. They bring in a TON of revenue. They could compete with any other team in MLB if they wanted to. Where they spend in relation to other teams is a choice! Saying "the wallet is empty after spending so much" is rather foolish since we all know that they are still making much more off of this team than they are spending on payroll. The wallet is empty because they have often not wanted to pick up the check when the tab is due.

    Giving up a boatload of prospects for him (which is what it apparently would have taken) just doesn't make sense to me. He was less than 1 fWAR better than Durbin for less control and a substantially higher cost.

    Rodgers COL '22 Home 10 HR, 313 AVG, 899 OPS '22 Away 3 HR, 212 AVG, 588 OPS Yuck '23 Home 855 OPS '23 Away 531 OPS '24 Home 888 OPS '24 Away 571 OPS Moves to HOU '25 Home 511 OPS '25 Away 574 OPS If it wasn't for Coors, this guy would be a NOBODY.
  15. mvp 78
    Really?
  16. mvp 78
    Seigler hits the ball very hard. I think pitch recognition is the issue when he got to MLB. Maybe he can adjust, maybe he's just a AAAA masher.
  17. mvp 78
    If they can't extend Nieto afterwards, what's the point? A lot of moving parts TBH.

    If he said MORE, we'd pay attention LESS. He rarely has these press conferences so they become a big deal to the media.
  21. mvp 78
    Red Sox now lead the AL with 14 IFers on the 40 man roster (2nd place is 9).
  22. mvp 78
    They could change it up, but they won't. We already know it in our hearts.
  23. mvp 78
    What did they honestly think the price tag was going to be? 3/75?
  24. mvp 78
    The only good thing about Rodgers is that he's on a MiLB deal and he can be left in WOO for the whole year, unless there's an opt out that we don't know about.
  25. mvp 78
    Relievers could be rushed if they have the goods, but Sameniego was coming off the internal brace procedure last season and probably needs at least a pit stop at MLB before he goes straight from AA to MLB. No reason to rush him as he's not a Watson/Whitlock/Slaten Rule 5 guy. He could be good enough to make the roster, but he's not on the 40 man, so other guys are going to get a crack at it first.
