The curse was silly to begin with. Stating that there is a new one is really ridiculous.

Cots has them at 190M (47M under the CBT). That's still 25M under the 215M budget that we thought the dumb Sox were under this season (why???). If they clear Jansen, it leaves 41M under 215M (63M under the CBT). Like what the f*** are we even talking about? As long as they are under the CBT, shouldn't it be fine??? If they trade Jansen, they could have enough to sign Snell and Montgomery and be under the CBT!!!!!!!!

What if the same man who helped break the curse ends up ushering in a new one? C'mon, man! Enough with the CHB nonsense........

If Story bounces back and garners any interest that would take his full contract, I'd trade him no matter what Mayer is looking like. If Yoshida bounces back, I'm holding onto him. Refsnyder and McGuire really wouldn't bring back much of a return except MiLB depth. There is a chance they move Wong instead as his framing is just awful and he can't really hit. Also, depending on how Yorke and Grissom play, there could be a move with one of the two of them. It's not out of the realm of possibility that the future of the team is Mayer at SS and Story back at 2B too.

How about: T*R*A*S*H

One of the main MLB writers (don't remember which) stated that the Sox need to clear Jansen's salary if they want to sign Montgomery. They can sign Montgomery and still be under the CBT. Jansen's salary is off the books next year. How does that make any sense?

How would you say the fanbase feels today?

100%. You need the CBO to be able to not so risk averse.

I thought that wasn't until ST? Is today the first day to allow this?

Reese was dealing with an injury last year and his defense was disappointing. He was above average in '23 but slipped in '22. Wong had good pop times and a nice arm, but his framing is still bad.
-
His problem is he didn't do a teardown in '22. At the deadline he should have traded Sale and JD as offers were on the table. Xander and Eovaldi were given QO's that offseason and the comp picks would have been higher. A case could be made that he should have sold high on Schreiber too. That puts the rebuild in motion sooner. Hill and Wacha were probably seen as damaged goods and unable to be dealt at the deadline. At the '23 deadline or sooner, Paxton should have been traded.

No impact for this year. Upside for next? They really don't care about this season.
-
Churning the bottom 10 guys with waiver claims is easy. You don't even have to call other GM's to make those moves!
-
To give credit where credit is due, you were on Abreu and Valdez back in '22 before anyone else on this board, I think.
-
Werner is the most reliable source in the Hub of the Universe!
-
He was a guy who always second guessed himself and never wanted to lose a trade. He took the path of least resistance, which was to do nothing.
-
It's a strong side platoon DH.
-
880 OPS in '22 in AA. 1112 OPS in '23 in AA. He was just pumping up stats in '23. Wasn't learning anything.
-
It's clear that Henry preferred inexperienced guys that he can boss around.
-
Valdez had a 670 OPS vs LHP at Sugar Land in '22. https://www.milb.com/sugar-land/stats/2022?split=vl&playerPool=ALL It was clear that he had no business in AA '22.
-
If Reyes sucks, Valdez isn't the promotion IMO. Reyes is on the squad to field multiple positions. Valdez can only play 2B and he's awful there. They'd call up Hamilton or Romy Gonzalez.
