    The Mystery Team is apparently busy being in on Belichick ATM.

    The 2023 Sox was the second lowest they've been under the luxury tax threshold since Cots started tracking the year end CBT in 2012. The lowest was the garbage 2020 roster, but only 2M less than '23.

    We have Devers for the next few years anyway. I have read reports about the Sox shopping Story and Masa to reduce payroll. Would that allow them to use the savings on other players? Maybe. Maybe not. Even though the Masa and Story contracts are a lot of money, neither of them feel like big money contracts, right? Neither of them felt like a splurge in the days of 200-300M deals for legit stars.

    Maybe Boras is gonna buy the Red Sox?

    I have to level with you, moon. Sometimes you write so much, that it's hard to figure out what your specific intent is. So please forgive other posters if they misread or take one sentence out of context.

    Also, the amounts that players get in arbitration doesn't necessarily reflect what they would get on the free market.

    An ace every 3-4 years? That seems like a stretch. I think if they developed one a decade it would be fine. The problem is that they aren't developing anything more than backend starters and a #3 every once in a while. The last time they developed a near ace was Lester almost 20 years ago.

    No.

    @jonmorosi Reese McGuire and the Red Sox agree on a 1-year deal worth $1.5 million.

    @ByRobertMurray Source: Tyler O’Neill, Red Sox settle at $5.85 million, avoiding arbitration.

    Did you have enough parking lots?

    And now he's just a B.

    He called MAZZ before when the rumors he was going to sell crept up. He's refuted them every time, including last offseason.

    I think matching Crawford or Houck isn't a very high measuring stick. That should be doable, but ultimately should not be the goal.

    He got better, budrick

    It will never be right except at the bottom end and sometimes the squishy middle. There's a reason Henry was in Moneyball. For forty-one million, you built a playoff team. You lost Damon, Giambi, Isringhausen, Pena and you won more games without them than you did with them.

    It's somewhere 8-18th. I don't see him getting back to the tippy top again.

    Considering the increase in the CBT/luxury tax, Story and Lackey took up about the same available % of AAV, except Story got an extra year.

    Luxury Tax Limits: 2022: 230 (Sox were 4.5M over) 2017: 195 (Sox were 3M under) 2013: 178 (Sox were right at the CBT) Where's your smoking gun? All I see is the inflation of the luxury tax/CBT and player's contracts within that number.

    '21 2.5 fWAR '22 2.4 fWAR '23 5.3 fWAR

    They'll sign late, but one of the musical chairs for those guys won't have the Red Sox logo on it.
  22. mvp 78
    I think he can use trades to get a Bello-type. I think the hype surrounding Bello is a little overblown anyway. He's not a guy I'm extending unless it's for really cheap dollars. I think they can get a few #3's with what they have on the farm without really gutting anything.
  23. mvp 78
    Gotta identify what talent is going to get better before they actually do!
  24. mvp 78
    Has Henry touched the orb?
  25. mvp 78
    Yuck!
