  1. No room for Yoshida in the OF when we have Duran, Rafaela and Anthony.
  2. Seems like we're scrabbling together signs that they still care. Keep 'em coming!
  3. Burnes was kind of expected to sign later on from the start, I think.
  4. It was probably in the 'detent' position. 😁
  5. Great, great player. 65 is way too young, 3 years younger than me. RIP.
  6. After falling short on Soto and Fried, Henry might have decided to flip the Punt switch again. Sure looks that way.
  7. So going into Christmas, our biggest contract given to a healthy player is Chapman at 10.75 million. Our biggest contract period was given to a rehabber.
  8. We seem more like passive aggressive.
  9. Wong stinks, we traded his successor, we haven't signed anyone. We did trade for the Yankee minor leaguer who looks somewhat promising. But it's one more area of head-scratching.
  10. I think they can use up the rest of the offseason now debating about whether to make a big offer to Bregman and ultimately deciding against it.
  11. And Passan doesn't even list us a Front Runner for Burnes. "Burnes' suitors include the Giants, Blue Jays and Orioles," https://www.espn.com/mlb/insider/story/_/id/43042910/mlb-offseason-2024-25-free-agency-trade-rumors-update-passan-arenado-bregman-burnes-alonso
  12. Much like the team on the field the last few years, the Boston Front Office Front Runners tend to run out of steam and basically fall apart down the stretch.
  13. Unfortunately this post feels like deja vu all over again.
  14. See, in one of the Red Sox Operations committee meetings someone said something about balancing the L-R thing. He was talking about offense, but it kind of got lost in translation. Easy to understand how these things happen. They'll learn from their mistakes as they go along.
  15. "We tried our asses off this offseason. I think everyone saw how many guys we were connected to. We just didn't line up the way we wanted to line up. But don't think for a minute this doesn't mean we're not going to keep trying to bring the kind of team that Red Sox fans expect." Take it from there...
  16. What's safe about Sandoval, other than that it's a safe bet we won't see him until after the ASB, if then? As for the "long run", we only have him for one full healthy year at most.
  17. Max Fried might be a pretty nice get for them. Bellinger might be a good move too. The thing is they just don't stop making significant moves.
  18. They're both very good pitchers. I'd take either. We'll get neither.
  19. I hate to say it but my growing belief is that this current iteration of our front office has nothing in the way of a coherent plan. So far our offseason has basically consisted of acquiring 4 left-handed pitchers. Maybe that was the secret mission - stock up on lefty pitchers and forget about everything else...
  20. Agree with the first sentence, but needless to say that was a totally different kind of transaction from signing a free agent like David Price, with the track record he had.
  21. Same. But I'm getting very used to being disappointed by this front office.
  22. All you can really do is eat the loss and move on. David Price was instrumental in the 2018 title. The whole objective of playing is to win the title. So I never regret that signing for an instant. Nor do I regret the Sale extension. These things happen when you're trying to win. In spite of the so-called disasters of Price and Sale, the 2021 Sox made it to the ALCS. Because they still had some really good players left from 2018-2019, and because Chaim Bloom had a very good year as CBO.
