How do you know when you are really only a piece or two away? Who knows if those pieces will be ready at that time?
-
Sure, but when we're talking about "going for it" Rule 5 additions aren't typically in the mix.
-
Renfroe really struggled last season. As he ages, that -6 run value vs 4 seamers may get even worse. I know he had injuries, but that's kind of the gag with him and why he's gone from team to team. Stratton and Smith are just average to slightly above average bullpen arms. Lugo doesn't have a long track record as a starter. Wacha comes with significant injury risk as we know. It's a lot of journeyman types that are probably being a little overpaid IMO.

In 2021, they basically just ran the same group out there and hoped for the best. The only meaningful additions were Kiké, Renfroe and Garrett Richards. In 2013, they added Gomes, Victorino, Carp, Napoli, Drew, Uehara and Dempster.

If it wasn't, it's pretty embarrassing.

I can give Henry all the credit for 2004-2018, but he has lost the plot. Maybe all the success has led him to believe that there isn't urgency to stay competitive? IDK. He wants a good team, but doesn't want to pay for it. Maybe it's time for him to focus on something else. Maybe sell his stake in FSG?

Per BTV: Schreiber for Polanco
-
I'd be happy with that offseason. Polanco is a switch hitter and hits both ways reasonably well.
-
I think we'll be stuck with the A side of that album unfortunately "most" anything you want, termination, are you happy and my mirage.
-
He needs to make it rain like 2006.
-
If anything, JH was put through a Ronco food dehydrator at some point in the last decade.
-
You can tell be the striations! Also, his dad was a body builder!
-
You're not getting Monty and Snell for 200M over 10/12 years. The AAV's just won't match up.
-
I agree with this wholeheartedly. The Sox have one of the largest FO's in baseball (maybe even the largest) and a lot of it is at the tippy top. I can see having a lot of voices down on the farm working with individual players, but the sheer amount of EVP's this org rolls out is staggering. Because of this, no matter what direction Crag wants to take the team, there is going to be a dissenting opinion from another higher up that will be leaked to the press. It is not an ideal workplace and it's not one where quick decisions are probably fostered.
-
Lots of bad actors being believed every offseason.
-
Whoever the Sox sign, it'll be the wrong guy!!!
-
Starting rotation used the cream not the clear?
-
$$$

There's a reason cribs look like jails...

How have the Red Sox fared in past free agent bidding wars?

If we look at years of control at the time of the trade, it would be Rubby De La Rosa. Loney was good the following season, but his contract was up after 2012. -
Pedey took the largest 2B contract ever signed!!!!
-
We may need to reconsider the 2nd point in relation to what a baby tried to do to our rotation in 2013.
-
Tyler O'Neill!!!!!!!! Can't believe we traded for that guy!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Some players take a hometown discount. That is the only exception to the rule, but it's very, very rare. Tek, Nola, anyone else? 75M was just an example, it wasn't a specific amount for a specific purpose.

AGon's first 3 years were ok (wRC+ 124, 129, 129), but he really fell off.
