    No, they were just micro-managing his innings. He had a couple of rough outings that made his second-half ERA look like crap. When you take a closer look at it I don't think it's that concerning. He was still registering high K numbers.
  2. Bellhorn04
    Well, to me it's a hopeful sign that they're actually trying to improve the 2025 team. YMMV.
  3. Bellhorn04
    The perspective has changed with the trade for Crochet.
  4. Bellhorn04
    His contract was expiring and Bloom got a good haul for him.
  5. Bellhorn04
    Like everyone is saying, pitching is incredibly expensive, so I'm not shocked at the return. They did finally make a bold move so I'm not going to complain about this.

    Last 3 years: Eovaldi 6.1 fWAR Pivetta 5.4 fWAR Last 4: Eovaldi 11.8 Pivatta 7.7

    Sometimes we overlook that Henry "only" owns about 40% of FSG. As I read somewhere else, some teams are run by owners, the Red Sox are now run by a group of shareholders.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Yes, like I said, above average, which is 2 bWAR.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Torres has been a better than average player but hasn't really lived up to expectations.
  10. Bellhorn04
    I don't think anyone believes this is actually going to happen. Just more Interest Kings nonsense.
  11. 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.
  12. Bellhorn04
    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.
  14. 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!"
  15. Bellhorn04
    "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.
  16. Bellhorn04
    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...
  17. 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.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Eovaldi back to the Rangers 3/75. Pitching is expensive. And the Sox are a Rob Deer in the Headlights.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. Bellhorn04
    The lux tax consequences of adding a lot of payroll are pretty significant for the Yanks.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Bieber too! https://www.si.com/mlb/guardians/news/boston-red-sox-tried-hard-to-steal-star-cleveland-guardians-shane-bieber

    We are the Interest Kings, and it's going to be hard for any team to take that crown from us without a fight!
