"This is getting out of hand! Now there are two of them?!?!"

$225 is just not enough in this inflationary market!
-
@BOSSportsGordo Red Sox projected salary arbitration numbers (via @mlbtraderumors): Nick Pivetta: $6.9M Alex Verdugo: $9.2M Luis Urias: $4.7M Reese McGuire: $1.7M John Schreiber: $1.3M The Urias amount is high. The others seem fine IMO. Verdugo's is small enough to deal away.

No, he's not ready to be a MANAGEMENT guy. That's what Chaim's job was. The CBO needs to manage the organization and all the people below him. It's much less about baseball than the GM position.
-
Yeah, everyone is moving to Florida. This is not really news? Tampa already has a local fanbase that is younger (per demographics) and watches the games (per tv ratings).
-
"Look at me, I'm the baseball guy now."
-
Maybe they also have determined they want to lock up Abreu at very cheap dollars for a few years? IDK. I don't think Sam is a baseball guy.

Day games: 951 OPS (145 tOPS+) Night games: 694 OPS (79 tOPS+)

Casas is a yes. Bello is a no. He's a 3rd starter most likely. Some people were saying he was a future ace, but I don't see it. I think his CEILING is a #2. Per fWAR, he was tied for 99th place for starters (Gray and Taillon).

OPS by month '23: APR 1061 MAY 662 JUN 765 JUL 1088 AUG 602 SEP DNP LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP!

I would never.
-
I think that relationship doesn't matter at all. Why would he care if he's closer to New Balance? Did Michael Jordan play for the Trail Blazers?
-
They never non-tender anyone. I think they just stick with Urias/Reyes and hope that Yorke hits the crap out of the ball in AAA next Spring.
-
Rays viewership is about league average per tv ratings. The fanbase is there. Tampa's Hillsborough County is only 15% 65 or older, which is even less than a typical New England demographic. The county I live in is 32%.
-
Well deserved for these 3.
-
As the Southern Scout, please stop asking for Edward Cabrera. You don't really want him.
-
If they aren't, then why are adding?
-
It's always sad when people don't want to learn or be better.
-
I think DD wasn't fired because of the contracts, he was fired because there were no in house replacements for the self sustaining contender than JH wanted since the Theo days. The 30th ranked farm system is what pushed him out the door.
-
Does JH have a say in FA contracts and player extensions or no?
-
If they are adding guys up the middle, are they dealing their up the middle prospects?
-
I-5? I believe colloquially it's called "The 5."
-
Chaim would never...
-
That's a Dodgers Stadium problem, not really an Angels Stadium problem from what I remember. Dodgers fans also start filing out at the 7th inning stretch to beat traffic.
-
Also, I'm not sure the transplanted fan issue matters much. The Tampa Bay Lightning have been towards the top of attendance, but are in Tampa and not St. Pete. Florida Panthers are towards the bottom because they are in Ft Lauderdale/Sunrise and not Miami. Miami Heat are a top 5 draw in the NBA. The Marlins don't draw because they have just been a hopeless franchise for a long, long time. Their various ownership groups have shows that they don't care about fans and have treated that fanbase the way the Sox fanbase was treated since 2019. Star players are dumped ASAP. Big time players are never on their radar. It's just churn and burn for their farm and hope to get lightning in a bottle like in 2003. Once that happens, let all the tradable assets go.
