Billy Eppler really got whacked for the Phantom IL thing.
-
King posted stellar numbers as a starter in 2023 in spite of the MEANINGLESS W-L RECORD OF 1-4 Only 40.1 innings though. As for Lugo, I had nothing against signing him. Projected 2024 WARs: King 2.5 ish Lugo 2.0 ish For some reason I see more upside in King. It was impressive how well he did when they switched him back to a starter last year. You're right that 2 years of control is an issue. Good extension candidate though perhaps. Bottom line I'd definitely do it. The Padres might not though because their MLB starting pitching is thin like their outfield.

Get 'er done, Crag my boy. It's time to step up and pull this offseason out of the shitter.
-
Now if only we could get Michael King for him...
-
Corroborated!
-
I'm probably the only one other person here who knows, I'm slightly ashamed to admit. That was the screen name of a poster on the Globe Sox forum who would sporadically post semi-inspirational messages about the Red Sox that looked like they might have been produced by a random word generator. They were humorous in their way. That's all there is.
-
I say let the man post the way he wants to post, same as we all do.
-
This is how it starts though. Next thing you know Dipre will only be issuing Talksox a statement once or twice a year through a spokesperson...
-
Dipre's level of interest in Talksox is roughly equivalent to Henry's level of interest in the Red Sox.
-
You're not a lot of fun sometimes.
-
C'mon man, would it kill you to scroll back a few pages? Do you really have such little time to devote to this?
-
Even in the wake of Yamamoto?
-
Well, we might be able to trade Giolito and Pivetta at this year's deadline.
-
And now Bloom is with an organization that has spent some money upgrading their rotation this offseason. The irony of it all.
-
I could be wrong, but my guess is Breslow doesn't buy into the dedicated closer thing.
-
That would be Bill.
-
There's another sardonic piece in OTM about how Sam couldn't let us enjoy the good news about Theo for long - he had to make it clear it might not be for long and might not have much to do with the Red Sox LOL
-
Oh I get it. To me it all reeks of self-fulfilling prophecy - we're gonna suck anyway so it doesn't much matter what we do.
-
Nope, the Alchemist is gonna give everybody one more shot at it. 13 aces - I think that was your line.
-
Bill Lee (who else?) is the man who first came up with it, IIRC.
-
Cora might not even be here next year. But he wouldn't be the first to make plans for a future that isn't there - they just fired the last guy who did that.
-
It's just a literary trope. It doesn't bother me. To each their own of course. But again, the historical parallels are kind of freaky.
-
This is exactly why we have the ugly rumors that this is all about funding other FSG enterprises.
-
It's not far-fetched, no. It could also quite easily fail. We only have so many credentialed pitchers. Trading Jansen makes it one less, unless they get one back in the trade, which seems rather doubtful.
-
I commend that attitude, I really do. It's just uncanny that the Sox halfway knowledgeable reporters like Abraham and Speier are flat out convinced we'll get a minor move or two and nothing else. It's not like they've been doomsayers in the past.
