  1. When you look at the MLBTR feed it's like someone is having fun with the Sox. Yesterday we had "Red Sox Interested in JD Martinez Reunion" followed shortly by "JD Martinez to Sign With Dodgers" Maybe the Sox were interested in the reunion of JD with Betts...
  2. Bloom is great at working on the fringes... He just seems incredibly passive when it comes to the big moves.
  3. Chaim's Tortoise and the Hare act this offseason will really come under intense scrutiny if they don't do something soon. Players are flying off the shelves this Christmas at Ball-Mart, even at jacked-up prices.
  4. We've still got two of our main setup men from 2018, Denny - Brasier and Barnes.
  5. Of course, just because we have reported interest in JD, I wouldn't pencil him into our 2023 lineup just yet.
  6. Lots of time left. But not many players.
  7. Must be planning for Yoshida to play LF.
  8. No, but it means he doesn't want to.
  9. Because he wouldn't pay Mookie what he wanted. Because he wouldn't pay luxury tax 3 years in a row. Because Trevor Story is the biggest signing since he hired Bloom. Because Price's contract is now #22 on the list of biggest contracts.
  10. Beni's 2.8 fWAR/3.2 bWAR in 2022 WAS a rebound, don't you think?
  11. But if he plays this year without an extension, he does run the risk of injury or having an off season, and seeing his value go down.
  12. I would also argue that the Red Sox needed to sign a free agent starter, because as it stands our rotation is made up of kids (Whitlock, Houck, Bello), major injury risks (Sale, Paxton), and guys who may or may not be major league pitchers. We still desperately need to sign someone like Eovaldi, Kluber, Wacha...I'm assuming a blockbuster trade ain't happening.
  13. And the #1 and #2 guys on the list were old guy Scherzer and Robbie Ray.
  14. Most of us seem to be aboard the Devers/Andrus/Eovaldi or Kluber wagon now...
  15. We have no idea until the guy faces MLB pitching.
  16. But you have to compare them to previous years' lists. See moon's lists above for starters.
  17. To me this year actually looked pretty decent for starting pitchers. Pricey as heck, but that goes without saying.
  18. I'll drink to that.
  19. Agreed. Sign Andrus. He seems like a perfect fit and bridge to Mayer. He's actually a pretty good player.
  20. 1) Extend Devers 2) Sign Eovaldi or Kluber 3) Sign Andrus At least it'll look like they're trying.
  21. It's all a bit confusing. As I said to moon, I thought the concern with Story wasn't a lack of arm strength but the elbow inflammation. Maybe the question that was put to Bloom wasn't clear. Trying to give benefit of doubt on this one.
  22. Yankee fans liked him because he wasn't a home run or nothing guy like most of their offense, he was a guy who could get on base.
  23. I thought it was an overpay at first too, but in order for a free agent to "earn" $15 mill a year they really only have to be an average 2 WAR player, as crazy as it seems. Interestingly, a lot of Yankee fans really liked him and wanted him back.
  24. I did my very best to resolve it for ya Nick, posted a link to an article explaining the change in the new CBA and pointed out that Bloom would simply not touch him with that kind of tax hit attached...
