  1. If there's one thing better than the eye test, it's the gut test. 😉
  2. Just getting what they deserve for their sustained stretch of penny-pinching and mediocrity.
  3. Perfect opportunity for him though.
  4. No one can say. Omerta. Henry and Werner own more than 50% together so if they agree on something it's a done deal.
  5. Whose money is it? The bottom line profit/loss and increase/decrease in market value belongs to the shareholders of Fenway Sports Group, of which Henry is the principal shareholder with 40% or so. Henry could actually claim that since he doesn't own a majority of shares, he doesn't have control over the payroll. We're owned by a consortium now.
  6. What an utterly demented thing to do.
  7. Let's give them a little credit for their math skills. They didn't go over in 2022 by mistake. And at the time, they didn't think not getting back under was a mistake. In 20/20 retrospect it might look like mistakes.
  8. Conversely, they've sucked some years they've gone over. Including 2022.
  9. Offering Martin more than he actually got does suggest, however, that they're looking to add at least one more "late inning guy". Doing some stockpiling of our own on late inning relievers might not be the worst play.
  10. Holy Hypotheticals! I think you just out-mooned moon.
  11. Fried is one of the most talented starters in the game, averaging 4.9 bWAR per 162 games. But he also turns 31 before the season starts and this is an 8 year deal. So super-risky, but it's the Yanks after all, they're already carrying Cole and Rodon at hefty rates. They just don't care.
  12. I think it's Cotillo who's leading the charge on these rumors. Re the bullpen arms, they did make an offer to Martin. I'm tentatively OK with what Brez is doing. The next 2 months are big for him.
  13. Some buzzers have it that this indicates they're all out on Bregman.
  14. "I think he’s a guy that we will try to keep in center as much as possible,” No less than 3 qualifier words or phrases. Craig making it look easy.
  15. There is some logic to the move, maybe? Arenado still plays very good D. This would mean Raffy does indeed move to 1B. Obviously Brez would have to wring enough money and talent out of the Cards to make it a fair deal.
  16. Agreed. The buzz seems to be we'd be getting something of value back for Casas. (As per rumor mill reporting on Sons of Sam Horn and Sox Prospects forums.) It's probably all BS but it's boring enough right now to talk about this like it's a real thing, I guess.
  17. And they just might turn to the St. Louis Cards to help them re-shuffle the deck!
  18. Mucho buzzo about the Sox and Cardinals talking deals, with Arenado and Casas the primary names involved but other pieces attached. Credibility of rumors? Who knows.
  19. Good news. And thanks, Davy, for alerting me to the fact that the Sox are the only team that uses Chief Baseball Officer as an official term.
  20. I did see a rumor that the Sox are the front runners on Scott. Once upon a time I would have taken it seriously.
  21. You're right, the Red Sox have all the same data on Raffy's D as we do and more. They know what the deal is. I think we will see a change eventually. They did try to trade Casas, after all.
  22. Hard to say. It was reported they offered Fried 7/190. That was a pretty good offer, really. It was just that the Yanks were in on him.
  23. Jansen was being commended during the season for calling Cora to bring him in the game in the 8th. Another trip from the penthouse to the outhouse.
