  1. I get that. But how do these transactions benefit the Red Sox? Or is it just a make-paperwork-project kind of thing?
  2. And they traded a very young pitching prospect for Park. Someone make it make sense.
  3. They're either too old, too injury-prone or too expensive. Take your pick. Bloom and the spreadsheets have generated the solution: don't sign any of them. Genius!
  4. When was this mythical YEAR TO GO BIG?
  5. Seriously, when has there been a year that there were a lot of FA SP's who weren't older or injury-prone? Are you thinking of Gerrit Cole the $324 million man? FA SP who have youth, effectiveness and durability cost a mint. So we're out on them too...
  6. The "chosen year" is a terrible concept. The Dodgers just had an incredible season only to see an 87 win team win the pennant.
  7. I just remembered I had a dream last night about Buchholz making a comeback with us this year. I'm serious.
  8. OK now we're talking. Your prescience is really about to be tested!
  9. He might, because he said he wants to only pitch half a season. But I'm just clutching at straws at this point.
  10. Now I'd like to see one of your positive predictions come true for a change.
  11. Rich Hill come on down...sometime in July.
  12. It's the John Henry 4 Year Plan.
  13. Chaim and the spreadsheet gang have concluded that all starting pitchers are too risky, so we're good.
  14. I'm down with that, but my faith is shattered so I'm not really expecting it. Based on recent history they are just not going to meet Raffy's price, which means the correct move is to trade him.
  15. I can't answer that, but if Bloom had made a few better moves for 2022 or we had less injuries they might have made the playoffs again.
  16. They said the goal was re-build while competing. It worked in 2021.
  17. By which metric?
  18. Maybe they've already decided that Houck is in the 2023 rotation, not the pen.
  19. The Mets can't possibly re-set next year, unless we're talking 1998 Marlins tear-down. Their projected 2024 tax payroll is $245 million already, without doing a thing.
  20. We seem to have reached the point that making a blockbuster trade for a starter would be foolish.
  21. The penalties are pretty harsh as they are. But Cohen has decided to thumb his nose at them and buy a championship even if it costs half a billion or more. It could be a problem.
  22. In this case we're not going to know until we see the guy play.
  23. Exactly.
  24. I would submit that the real mistake was going over the cap at the start of the season, and that's where the trade for JBJ comes into the conversation.
