    Yeah dood, you're only looking at one season. As I previously said, Stroman has a long track record you can bank on. Lugo doesn't have a track record outside the cozy confines of PetCo and the Padres defense.

    Yoshida is going to do some cooking this year. Just don't have him play too much LF.

    That Spring Training interview with Bloom and his Whistle Pig was cringe.

    If you redo that offseason and spend the Hanley/Pablo money differently: SP Ervin Santana SP AJ Burnett (don't sign Masterson either) 3B Chase Headley OF Nelson Cruz

    Are you only a patsy if you don't know you're a patsy? I think Crag knows what the deal is and is just willing to work under those terms. Not sure it makes him a patsy. He just took a CBO position for a declining franchise that is now a mid-market team.

    The story just reports what Ken Rosenthal says "that the Sox NEED to be in on them." That's all. There's no smoke.

    Is this one of their AI written articles?

    Imanaga is interesting, but his numbers are worse than Yamamoto's in Japan, especially in innings. He could be great, but I worry about his lower velo not playing as well over here in MLB. I'd be worried about years 4-6 in that deal.

    The comp to Lugo is the YOUNGER Michael Lorenzen. I'm not sure I'd invest a lot of money in either guy. Stroman is consistently a 2-4 fWAR SP year in and year out. Giolito was a 4 fWAR guy in '21 and consistently pitches every 5th day. It wouldn't be a huge shocker for him to do that one or two more times in the next four years. At least you'd expect him to be Porcello-esque. With Lugo, there's not track record.

    It's just a wild statement.
  11. mvp 78
    I don't think Giolito is getting that much. If I'm just grabbing one player it's Stroman. If I'm spending a max of $55 it's Stroman, Montas, Duvall, Merrifield. For 75 I'd add in Giolito.

    @TheRealJPap58 Verdugo I mean Vertigo is a Bitch. Cora has his players and teammates backs more than anyone in the game. You aired yourself out by being late, lazy and unproductive. If I played for Cora I’m drilling this bitch, just saying. I like Paplebon more as an ex-player than as a current player, I think.

    If he's truly a Yalie, he'll tell Henry he was confused and spend the weekend in Springfield, VT.

    Pretty sus that there are no reports about them being close to the 300M amount right now. They should be either trying to save face or at least out there showing that they are doing the legwork.

    There's the John Henry quotes we were looking for earlier!

    If there is one team offering an overpay like Xander, yeah it's an overpay. If a bunch of teams are offering about the same price like Yamamoto, it's no longer an overpay. That's just the market.

    Lugo is a 34 year old who has only 64 career starts. How would he really give us HOPE if he signed here. C'mon man! That's just sour grapes....
  18. mvp 78
    Before leaving CHW last year: 121 Innings, 3.79 ERA, 4.34 xFIP His wife filed for divorce July 2023. This may have played a role in his dismal second half.

    The tinfoil hat and heavy scent of whiskey should have given it away, but we were rubes...
  20. mvp 78
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  21. mvp 78
    Yup, no reports of any Sox offer.
  22. mvp 78
    During the initial meetings, it was requested that they not provide any offers.
  23. mvp 78
    If he did both of those in one year it'd be a first for his career.
  24. mvp 78
    If they add nothing: Bello Sale Pivetta Crawford Houck It's just last year's rotation without Paxton. Good for 22nd in the league! May be where the payroll is headed?
  25. mvp 78
    Agreed. "Way too much is the new norm." Yeah, it's been the new norm ever since the start of FA except during times of collusion. Players make what owners are willing to pay in a competitive market.
