C'mon man, you're better than this.
-
Red Sox Nation in general is not in top spirits these days. Interest in the team has been sagging. Losing Mookie was a bummer. We thought the tax re-set would lead to a somewhat exciting offseason. Instead it's been a snorefest from start to finish. Maybe that will change in the upcoming weeks. But it's hard to know what Henry and the front office are really thinking.
-
Yikes - can you imagine if they did that with a significant, reported Red Sox signing?
-
Yeah, we've been kind of assuming we at least sign Odorizzi, but maybe he's too expensive too. Maybe Henry put the clamps on the budget altogether because of COVID losses.
-
Let's hope.
-
Must mean last offseason and this one. Sale and Bogaerts extensions were in 2018-2019 offseason. As was Eovaldi signing.
-
You are fond of that line, and get to use it a lot.
-
We also heard they had interest in Garrett Richards.
-
And Morton.
-
No one pays any attention to Scott's binders.
-
That's natural. The waiting game is no fun.
-
There was a time we thought they might actually exceed that first threshold, because of the re-set...
-
We're still $30 million under the first tax threshold after making a lot of re-setting the tax rate. Surely there are a few acquisitions in the near future.

Pitchers' arms are incredibly fragile. Or maybe it's more accurate to say that pitching does incredible damage to the human arm.
-
Yeah, but you'd have to do it for 9 years, remember...
-
The perennially contending Yankees had to give Gerrit Cole a contract that shattered the previous record deal for pitchers, to get him to come to NY.
-
That Mother got Out-Mothered later LOL -
I also remember Kerry Wood signing with the Cubs in 2011 for what was reportedly much less than other offers, because he really liked his time with the Cubs.
-
Some might say if Perez is an addition for us, DJ is an addition for the Yanks.
-
MLBTR is outstanding.
-
That's because it was the mother of all salary dumps.
-
Have to leave it to Jax to explain exactly how a big market owner operates.
-
I'm a bit cynical, I think most players take the highest dollar offer. I'm reasonably sure Boston was not David Price's first pick of destinations. But $217 million overcame that quite nicely. Last offseason there were reportedly 3 teams bidding on Gerrit Cole: Yankees, Dodgers and Angels. The Dodgers and Angels hung in there at 8 years * 36 mill. The Yankees bumped it to 9 years and won the auction. That's how Cole picked his favorite destination.
-
Perez pitched against both the Jays and Yanks in September and gave up 1 run in 12.2 innings.

Seems to set up a classic Catch-22: in order to be able to get good players, you have to get good players first!
