    From the sounds of it, if the Sox offered 3 years and say 50 million, Teoscar would have said yes. He says he did want a longer contract but when the Dodgers came forward with their offer he had to consider it because it was also a chance to be with a team going for a title. And they made the money enough to seal the deal. The bottom line is the Sox wouldn't go any higher than 28 million. Just like they wouldn't go any higher with Imanaga. It's been a recurring theme the last few years - making offers that just aren't enough to get it done,

    With a lot of players it's just highest number wins, no question. Some of them get to pick where they want to play, and get more dough than expected to boot, like Yamamoto.

    The oft-injured starting pitcher has come to be more like the norm than the aberration. The Dodgers just won the World Series with a 3-man rotation consisting of 2 guys who pitched a total of 165.1 innings this year, and a trade deadline acquisition.
  4. Bellhorn04
    The simple answer is yes. But it's hard to see the Sox being the team to do it.

    Jordan Montgomery. Who really knows what impacts free agent signing decisions any more? Seems like a lot of randomness/luck involved, like everything else in baseball.

    C'mon man, you're leaving out the dollars. The Red Sox offer was 2 years/$28 million, or $14 million per. The Dodgers deal was 1 year/$23.5 million with some deferred, present value $21 million. And the Dodgers obviously a more favorable destination for baseball and weather reasons. Just more Interest Kings close-but-no-cigar offseason buffoonery from the Sox.

    I think the last few years JH has mostly just set the budget and let the CBOs figure out how to allocate it. Obviously he would have a big say in the larger deals. But I don't think he would need to be consulted on Jansen & Martin.

    Are you really gonna make me re-work the numbers to show Chapman would still be higher?
  9. Bellhorn04
    I know Chapman has the stigma of being heavily endorsed by notin, but still... Chapman 31.2 fWAR 4235 PA = 4.42 fWAR per 600 PA Bogaerts 40.7 fWAR 6517 PA = 3.75 fWAR per 600 PA

    The new Red Sox are all about the middle. Masters of mediocrity is the goal. Nailed it to perfection in 2024.
  11. Bellhorn04
    In on Pivetta, out on O'Neill. But if do they offer one to both I'm fine with it.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Bogaerts was flawed too. There are hardly any flawless ones IMHO. Plus Boras has always done things this way. Still strikes me as a tad weird.

    And they had to outbid other teams. And we go from that to Boras's Big Four getting stiffed the following year. Strange doin's.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Another thing I'll never get is fans throwing home run balls hit by the other team back on the field, including ones that could be worth serious dough like Freeman's in Game 4. To me it's stupid on multiple levels.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, that was indeed the ridiculous part, the coverage that made it seem what these guys did was funny or even admirable.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Thanks Cap!
  18. Bellhorn04
    With the bat, but he added to his hitting struggles with a costly dropped fly ball. Plus Ohtani was pretty obviously playing hurt.
  19. Bellhorn04
    To be brutal about it, Devers is half the player, making about the same money.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Soto all the way, especially because he seems 100% healthy whereas Devers now has barking shoulders. A moot point of course. Soto is going to get a frighteningly big contract.
  21. Bellhorn04
    IMHO the Betts situation can't be compared to any other contract negotiation. This is a guy who'll go down as one of the very best. Henry treated it like just another calculation.
  22. Bellhorn04
    I do feel a little sorry for Judge. He's being portrayed by Yankee fans/media as a historic choke artist. Nobody needs that.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Turns out Friedman is a really hands on guy. Just reading about how deeply involved he was in the pitching plans last night after Flaherty bombed out, right down to talking to Buehler in the clubhouse.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Dodgers ownership and Friedman would seem to agree.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Get ready for some Burnes/Fried Interest Kings fun...
