    No, the lockout was predetermined no matter what the Dodgers did. They will lockout every time the contract ends from here to eternity. We can feel better about the owners and say the lockout is to fight against the Dodgers, but it's really to fight against the fans who want to watch baseball.

    Nobody cared that Aldo Ramirez was traded. He was ranked like 13th. The question at the time was "why trade for an injured player, hope he comes back soon." Nobody hated on the trade. It worked out. Everyone knew Schwarber's upside.

    Sox were hoping to get value out of that $$$. It hasn't worked out so far. Maybe they wait and see what it looks like in ST. If he is still struggling with throwing strikes, he should just be let go.
  4. mvp 78
    I think he can get to 100 wRC+ this year at 3b (around 715 OPS), especially if they platoon against tough LHP.

    So Paredes or Donovan is the pivot then. That pivot hasn't yet happened. Just be honest about that then.
  6. mvp 78
    R Suarez is not a Plan B as he doesn't replace Bregman. Very weird pivot for this team. Not a bad move, but the Sox still have a big hole to fill in the IF.

    It was all similar to: “it depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is.”

    Game prior: Duran CF, Rafaela SS, Romy 2B Game after: Duran LF, Rafaela CF, Romy SS Cora is a madman. Someone needs to take his keys away.

    How about this for a '24 lineup:
  10. mvp 78
    If it's just about money, who cares? DFA. Big market ballclubs don't need someone else to foot the bill of their mistakes.

    I feel like most people on here have tended to be "he couldn't do it in da Bronx" so they haven't been behind Gray. Me? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubvYQxTXO3U&list=RDubvYQxTXO3U&start_radio=1

    I'm sorry that drewski was a dingus to you. Please, can we move on from this discussion?

    Hicks had already transitioned to the pen prior to the trade. His BB/9 as a starter is better than only Jovani Moran's of the guys projected to be in the Sox bullpen. Moran is potential the next DFA. There wasn't anything good about his stint in the bullpen and he was the first guy to leave the clubhouse every night per reports.

    Hardly the same category? Refsnyder played OF throughout his time in MiLB and prior to coming to BOS. Arroyo hadn't played a single professional inning in the OF before Opening Day in '23. Ref played 20-35 games every year. Fine. Arroyo playing 17 games was crazy.
  15. mvp 78
    Huh? They tried converting him to a RFer in '22! He played it on Opening Day! He was out there 17 times before the ASB.

    Yeah, they look at the young arms in AAA and just believe they'll get better innings out of them for less money than what is left in FA right now. I think they'd like Wilson back, but he wants a larger deal to come back and is leaning towards retirement.
  18. mvp 78
    7 times at Fenway.
  19. mvp 78
    If only.
  20. mvp 78
    He's now doing a "I'm really a nice guy" PR campaign.
  21. mvp 78
    Fenway's unique RF issues never stopped Cora from throwing Refsnyder out there.

    But adding Hicks gets John Henry salary relief.
  24. mvp 78
    I don't remember Sonny Gray being someone everyone was clambering for on here.

    With Masa still on the squad, it wasn't a perfect fit for the next few years. JD was still valuable enough that you could have spun him in a trade prior to '22 and fit Schwarber just fine. Or just faked Schwarber for a year at 1B before letting him DH for 23-25. Once he signed with DD in PHI, I don't think he was ever going to come back to BOS. It would have been cool, but not an option I took seriously.
