You're using Whitlock and Houck to figure out who the closer is for 2025 IMO.
-
CHB's book states a local minister came up with the idea of a curse that had been put on the Red Sox and not Bill Lee. Where'd the Bill Lee thing come from?
-
All the tap dancing around is definitely worse for them. Their PR has really gotten them into trouble this year.
-
It could fail, but Jansen is out the door at the end of the year anyway and I don't think this team is going anywhere this season.
-
I think it was worth it to see if he could start. Now we know it didn't really work. Time for him to be sent to the pen for good.
-
I don't think they have to sign both guys. I think Montgomery is a decent acquisition. I wouldn't sign Snell. My point was that they are so far under the cap that I don't understand all the dicking around. They could overpay on one year deals and make this team competitive.
-
It would help enormously and I think both of them could take over closing???
-
It's fine if they don't like Snell and Montgomery. It doesn't mean you just pack it in. You can sign guys on one year deals to get you to next season (Gibon, Flaherty, Paxton, Miley all did). Just not spending is unacceptable. Also, don't tell me that Fried, Bieber, Buehler and Wheeler are without flaws.
-
There hasn't been a reasonable explanation as to WHY payroll need to be reduced. If they want to not go over the CBT, it's fine. Staying well below the CBT for now discernable reason doesn't make sense. They could have at least tried to load up on short term deals.
-
Jansen is a good closer, but thinking either Houck or Whitlock could close isn't far fetched.
-
Anyone paying full price for a ticket this year is a dope.

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.

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?
