  1. They need a lottery system that prevents this kind of thing, because you really can't expect all the teams to be playing to win games that mean nothing like this one.
  2. The Dodgers are kind of writing a new playbook these days. Stockpiling beyond their needs is right.
  3. They need a bunch of stuff to go right. Sound familiar?
  4. This "Casas refused an extension so he might be gone" theory puzzles me a bit. It would be a pretty heavy-handed way to deal with a young player (and of course we don't know much they offered). And Casas's comments about it seemed fine, acknowledging that he had to get better to deserve a better offer. They did already offer him up in trade, of course.
  5. When push comes to shove, I can default to the "too much money for the Sox to pay" argument and feel quite comfortable with it.
  6. My comment was meant to ooze sarcasm aimed at our front office.
  7. The fact is we have Devers, Story, Mayer, Campbell, Grissom and Casas for 4 infield spots, not even counting Hamilton or Romy. Forking out for Bregman is extemely unlikely, IMHO.
  8. Alex is clearly not such a hot commodity. He might be this year's Bellinger/Chapman, another Boras client coming in expecting too much and ending up hung out to dry.
  9. Really dig the name Nazzan, I must say. Nice palindrome!
  10. I don't know, I obviously have very little faith left in the Sox will to expend that kind of money.
  11. Makes some sense baseball-wise, but is it enough to justify a $25 million AAV addition to the payroll for the next 6 years? Especially when the player's fit and value are both just a bit iffy.
  12. That's a lot of N's and Z's to give up!
  13. ESPN 24 79 23 78 22 87 Everyone knows they're now the Maestros of Mediocrity.
  14. Yes, this seems to be where things are. The NL is getting stronger and the AL is getting weaker. How'd that happen?
  15. Sure, you want me to waste my time looking up pre-season win projections for the last 3 years. I don't have to. I'm fully confident that the consensus projections for the Sox the last 3 years were somewhere in the 80-85 win range. I'm here all the time and I know we talked about the projections. Furthermore, at the end of each of the last 3 seasons hardly anyone said the Sox underachieved significantly and hardly anyone called for Cora's head. He got an extension in fact. If you insist on a look-up, I'll do it if I get time.
  16. 500-ish is something like 78-84 wins, like the Red Sox of the 2022-2024 seasons. Kind of obvious. Why do you ask questions like that?
  17. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the pre-season projected win totals (.500 ish) for the Sox the past 3 years turned out to be fairly accurate.
  18. Very George Costanza-esque, I know.
  19. Wow, how embarrassing. Great job Sox FO!
  20. As for signing Vlad as a free agent, if there are any other serious bidders, you know how that'd turn out! 😛
  21. moon said he'd trade Mayer for him if we get to unload Yoshida in the deal.
  22. I'm sure John Henry wouldn't mind dumping Raffy's contract for prospects. That'd be 30 mill a year more for FSG shareholders.
  23. So what exactly is your theory for the Sox commanding lead on the We Tried Tracker? https://blogs.fangraphs.com/introducing-the-we-tried-tracker/
