    Guthrie was DFA'd 3 times last year. Good chance he's DFA'd this year! He's definitely towards the bottom of the 40 man. Yu Chang of the OF?

    Look, watching baseball games and getting quotes from baseball players after the game is hard work! It's a grind! They can't possibly be everywhere at once!
  3. mvp 78
    They need to still kiss the ring or Cotillo will have to start paying for his ice cream.

    In '23, Guthrie had a 748 OPS in AAA, his third year at that level. Not great! I'd have him above Hamilton on the depth chart and wouldn't care if Hamilton was DFA'd.

    He already stated as much this offseason that he's just too busy with the shiny new toys.

    Betts stated last year that he was never given a 300M offer from the Sox. When asked about negotiations he said "go ask Bloom" and we never got anything further. Why? Sox never refuted what he said.
  7. mvp 78
    After Betts was signed?
  8. mvp 78
    Or he was just disinterested as he is now? Hard to say.
  9. mvp 78
    I don't remember this.
  10. mvp 78
    Really hard for some people on here.

    He also tried negotiating and the Sox stopped negotiating. Henry: We'll give you 300. Mookie: How about 400? Henry: twiddle thumbs for a while... Bloom: You're traded now. At any point they could have countered Mookie's 400. They CHOSE not to. Mookie CHOSE a number between 300 and 400. It's clear he had an appetite for an amount somewhere in between the Sox offer and his counter. Sox just didn't want to negotiate.

    Well, the new guy can't. Hamilton hits well at AAA. New guy can't even do that.
  13. mvp 78
    Tin foil hat nonsense.
  14. mvp 78
    And yet he still signed an extension with LA. Very weird!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  15. mvp 78
    Zero chance for Snell.

    Since I just saw my first clip of the year of a pitcher throwing at the Fort, it was time for the Spring Training thread. @BeyondtheMnstr Red Sox starter Brayan Bello has been in Fort Myers since Winter Weekend. Bello wants to be the Opening Day starter against Seattle. https://twitter.com/BeyondtheMnstr/status/1755332458675904572

    He's been around long enough to have been selected in the MiLB portion of the Rule 5 draft and nobody wanted him. He's almost post prospect stage. He's always injured. If he doesn't have a tremendous season this year, you can stick a fork in him.
  18. mvp 78
    If only he could recreate the 185 wRC+ from '22! That's the top of the order bat this lineup needs. Probably means they could move on from Anthony. They have control over him for 6 years.

    Barnes/Workman/ERod 13-14 Buch/Masterson/Bard 08-09 Paplebon/Lester/Delcarmen 05-06 The Sox really haven't been able to push through much high level pitching talent at all. The best time for their system was 04-09 as it had a good balance of hitting and pitching. Players were also graduating each year at a relatively high level. After that, you had the AGon trade, Lars Andersen crashing, Westmoreland, Dodgers trade prospects that didn't pan out, Henry Owens flame out and Ben's bad drafting.

    @ChrisCotillo Official from Netflix. This is something that Sam Kennedy has been interested in for a long time after the success of other projects like Drive to Survive, Full Swing, etc. A little like Baseball Hard Knocks but not in real time... all coming out long after the season is over. Get this f***er out of here!!!!!!!!!!
  21. mvp 78
    Offensively, no. Defensively, yes.
  22. mvp 78
    Castillo and Weiss were claimed off waivers today.
  23. mvp 78
    Oh?
  24. mvp 78
    It's fine. We still have the 2nd rounder from that year. https://www.milb.com/player/nick-decker-678006

    DD left in '19, Crawford and Bello didn't have value to BOS until 3 years later. Hard to fault Bloom for not being able to draft or sign players prior to '19. Ben Cherington was bad at drafting and got the team to lose IFA signings. It was a large part of the reason the Sox went into a funk after 2018. Depending on how this current group of prospects turn out, Bloom may end up with a better legacy even without a ring.
