    Torres has been a better than average player but hasn't really lived up to expectations.
  2. Bellhorn04
    I don't think anyone believes this is actually going to happen. Just more Interest Kings nonsense.
  3. Bellhorn04
    I honestly think everyone understands this. I honestly think no one is opposed to moves that make the team better. It's just that no one wants to trade a guy who turns out to be a superstar. That's like the worst nightmare in baseball. And prospects are highly unpredictable, so you're not going to know for some time if you actually made the right move or not.

    They're just oozing dysfunction. And yes, I think too many cooks has to be part of it. Breslow says he's surprised to hear talk about trading Casas, shortly followed by us hearing that they did offer Casas to the Mariners, who of course declined. And yes, I know that stuff happens plenty, but with this organization it just seems like more of their misleading messaging and general ineptitude.

    The Soto "chase" was a colorful distraction, but I'm right back in the state of mind that this Sox organization is spectacularly dysfunctional. The offer they made to Fried was reportedly far short of the Yankees bid. They either have no clue about the market or it's all part of a bizarre exercise to try to fool the fans.
  6. Bellhorn04
    The funniest thing (in a sick way) was probably the comments like this I read when the Mets signed Soto: "Hey, that means we can sign BOTH Fried and Burnes now!"

    "But we’d be kidding ourselves if we believed that all four prospects are going to be contributors at the big league, let alone reach the All-Star potential. There’s a chance they very well could be All-Star caliber players and the Red Sox will be flush with homegrown talent to build around for years to come, but statistically speaking, the far more likely scenario is that one or two of them will pan out as every day big leaguers and only one of them will reach their full potential in Boston. If the biggest return to make the team competitive for the next few seasons comes from dealing members of the Big Four, then why not deal from your biggest strength and turn some of these blue-chip prospects into pitchers you'd like to see starting a playoff game?" I'm sure that statistical profile is accurate, but one question is, how do you know for sure which ones are the keepers and which are not? If you deal the one that reaches their full potential, that's not good.

    You do realize Harmony said that just a few posts before yours, right? It's not much consolation to those who actually believed the Sox might acquire Soto and/or Fried among others. Supposedly they're turning to Burnes now but we're already hearing they're not very confident about landing him LOL The Sox keep coming up short. Starting to feel kind of habitual...
  9. Bellhorn04
    The date doesn't matter much when free agents are signing at such a rapid pace. Soto, Adames, Fried, Snell, Eovaldi, Severino, and others are already gone.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Eovaldi back to the Rangers 3/75. Pitching is expensive. And the Sox are a Rob Deer in the Headlights.
  11. Bellhorn04
    Check this out from Chris Cotillo: Red Sox made “serious” run at Max Fried but Yankees’ $218M bid was “significantly ahead” of Boston’s per source. https://www.masslive.com/redsox/2024/12/as-red-sox-lose-out-to-yankees-on-max-fried-team-preps-corbin-burnes-offer.html Wait, so even when we're serious we're way short? This is getting ridiculous.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Burnes reportedly prefers the West Coast. This offseason is going at a surprisingly rapid pace. It's night and day from last year. And the Red Sox are still the Interest Kings until they actually get something done.
  13. Bellhorn04
    The lux tax consequences of adding a lot of payroll are pretty significant for the Yanks.
  14. Bellhorn04
    The buzz on Fried is that the Yankees are in on him bigly. If the Yanks sign Fried in the next few days, Red Sox Nation will really start getting restless.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Is that legal? Something that wink-wink nudge-nudge seems to represent a form of tampering. But maybe the rules allow it. Or maybe it's one of those rules that gets flouted and no one cares. I have no idea.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Bieber too! https://www.si.com/mlb/guardians/news/boston-red-sox-tried-hard-to-steal-star-cleveland-guardians-shane-bieber
  17. Bellhorn04
    We are the Interest Kings, and it's going to be hard for any team to take that crown from us without a fight!
  18. Bellhorn04
    Yes I know. I just think not all "surplus values" are created equal. Juan Soto might be showing a negative surplus value right now because the Mets overpaid...
  19. Bellhorn04
    Hamilton having greater surplus value than Castillo seems to be a case that shows BTV doesn't always function very well in the real world. Mainly because Hamilton's sample size is tiny.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Career OPS+ Ted Williams 191 Juan Soto 160 As good as Soto is, Williams was 20% better.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Yep, so far they've been interested in Bieber and Soto.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Quite possible the Mets re-sign Alonso. Sox need to focus on guys the Mets aren't interested in. 😛
  23. Bellhorn04
    But is that inflation rate across the board for player salaries, or just for the top contracts?
  24. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, I got some bad info there! The Soto thing is melting my brain.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Latest rumors are not promising. Sounding like it's down to New York/New York.
