Yes, we keep saying that, and maybe we can keep doing so until the New Year. I can't help being uneasy about a plan that revolves around outbidding all the other rich franchises and/or presenting Boston as the best place to play right now. Seems like a pretty ridiculous plan, actually.
-
I'm kind of incredulous at this point. I can't think help thinking even Bloom would have signed someone by now.
-
Those are possibilities, sure.
-
No, it's not strange about the Rangers. They have deGrom and Scherzer on the payroll for '24. They have Eovaldi of course, They just signed Mahle. They're in pretty good shape with their rotation.
-
If Montgomery does sign elsewhere, the Sox might really be looking at this: Plan A (Miraculously) sign Yamamoto Plan B Punt
-
He doesn't have to sign until early January, and for all we know he might be a patient, methodical fellow. This is a one-time only thing in his life, and there's no need for him to be hasty.
-
They're dropping like flies now.
-
That's possible, Randy, but one of the teams that has talked to Moto might also say "f*** this, let's offer Montgomery a lot more than he was expecting and see what happens".
-
I guess the Sox aren't interested in any of these cheaper starters, just like the last couple of offseasons, aside from Bloom's dumpster dives. Oh well, I'm sure there's a method to their apparent madness...yeah, right.
-
All we need now is someone to swoop in and sign Montgomery.
-
Royals sign Wacha, right on top of Lugo LOL
-
I need this place to vent my frustration.
-
A million saved is a million earned. It all started with the decision not to pay Mookie. Henry had some sort of Eureka moment that he had figured out how to do things a lot smarter. That's what led to replacing Dombrowski with Bloom with Breslow. The whole thing is painfully obvious, unfortunately.
-
That's the thing, you can find something you don't like in any pitcher that's available-including Moto, if $300 million contracts and opt out clauses make you nervous...
-
Burnes probably isn't on the Sox radar at all.
-
Both.
-
He was 14th in the majors in fWAR (sandwiched between Montgomery and Nola). Maybe overrated, but still pretty good. Burnes had a 3.4 fWAR in more innings than Snell.
-
Career fWAR numbers are smoke and mirrors? OK...
-
Without the low payrolls and good W-L records.
-
LOL I couldn't log in for a while. I thought maybe the server was overheated by too many angry posts.
-
He averages 3.77 fWAR per 175 innings. He's very good. The injury risk is the real minus.
-
Red, I think you're making too much of what Gray made before. Maybe that was just bad luck. Maybe this is the first time he had a big season in his contract year. He has pitched 1571 MLB innings with a 3.47 ERA. He came second in this year's CYA voting. Are there really that many pitchers with better credentials? I think it'd be a pretty short list.
-
He is what he is. Gets the job done most of the time.
-
Based on what?
-
Or maybe we end up with one of those too little, too late "fan-pleasing" moves like the Story signing...
