    I suspect Bloom has this year's finances figured out to the penny. The other possibility is another signing, maybe a reliever. Hard to say.

    Here's what I'm talking about: Scenario A: Red Sox release Barnes. He retires. Scenario B: Red Sox release Barnes. He signs with another team. The Red Sox are better off cash-wise in Scenario B, True or False.
  3. Bellhorn04
    Leaving the tax calcs out of it, if another team signs him, it will cost the team $725 K less in actual cash than if Barnes retires.
  4. Bellhorn04
    In actual cash outlay, they would save $725K, because someone else will be paying Barnes the $725K.
  5. Bellhorn04
    Now I'm stumped.
  6. Bellhorn04
    If they release Barnes and he gets signed, which he will, the Sox get about $725,000 knocked off the payroll, including for tax purposes, right? Maybe that's all they want to salvage.

    Bonds and Clemens arguably have two strikes against them, because they're not the most likable guys. Also, pretty sure Clemens lied his ass off before Congress too.

    I cannot freaking believe Jethro Tull isn't in yet.

    Keep up the good work!
  10. Bellhorn04
    And we could use a lefty there.
  11. Bellhorn04
    Yes, whoever did that list was on mushrooms or something.

    Lots of short-term deals. It's pretty clear now what Bloom is doing, I just hope he survives long enough to see it through.
  13. Bellhorn04
    And Brasier is our post-nuclear cockroach.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Sure, if we count Story's 23.3 as "live $" for '23... Plus, why is JBJ there for '22 and at what $ amount?
  15. Bellhorn04
    I dunno. If everyone is healthy we have 6 starters including Paxton. Maybe he's in the pen.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Our public relations and messaging continues to suck.

    Barnes will be pitching for some major league team this year...

    "Up in the air" kind of describes the 2023 Red Sox.

    Mondesi's pluses are defense and speed. He also has some power. But yeah, he's not gonna hit at the top of the order...

    Per Chad Jennings of The Athletic: (Barnes) had a 7.94 ERA through the first two months of last season before missing the middle two months with right shoulder inflammation. When he returned, the results were better — a 1.59 ERA, with many of his outings in a closer’s role — but the strikeout rate wasn’t what it used to be, and the Red Sox were not convinced that the underlying data suggested Barnes was on a path to regaining his past success. “Probably not, unfortunately,” one evaluator inside the organization said. “Tough to say (why). Just wasn’t the same.”
  21. Bellhorn04
    Only Bloom has the answer.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Shocker indeed.
  23. Bellhorn04
    If Paxton is ready to go I assume Houck would be a setup guy/relief ace.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Same thing for me. I'm just superstitious.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Feels to me like bad mojo trying to predict injuries.
