Indeed.

Jen McCaffrey's answer to a question about us not getting Teoscar today. You'd think that would still be the case before we get Soler.
-
Jen McCaffrey at the Athletic, did a mail bag earlier. Predicably all the questions were about ownership. This was the question: And this the answer... Some stuff in there I wasn't aware of.
-
He'd still be holding out on signing any fee agents deep into Spring Training. Bel would be looking for a 3rd Bastille to storm.

Further to this -- MLBExecutiveBurner @HotStoveintel Contracts Boras has landed his mid tier Clients this offseason are flat out impressive Notables.. Jung-hoo Lee 5-$113M Manaea 2-$28M Nick Martinez 2-$26M Kenta Maeda 2-$28M Montas 1-$16M Austin Hedges 1-$4M If those deals are an indicator, he's gonna land big money on the studs As an aside - interesting to see the Yankees and Soto not come together on a price.

No, I wouldn't expect so either.

Craig Breslow hired as Head Of Baseball Operations
Hitch replied to Tedballgame's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Which doesn't answer the question. There's only so many people/companies/organisations/states that can afford/would buy the Sox. A great many of them you really wouldn't want in ownership. -
Boras notoriously has his players test free agency. And a lot of them sign very late, too. I don't expect us to sign Snell or Monty, but it's worth keeping point 2 in mind.

How would you feel about the Saudi's owning the team? Or a hedge fund? -
Red Sox ownership not showing up to Winter Weekend after back-to-back last place seasons, the full throttle comments and the dud of an offseason they’ve had so far is such an awful, awful look. You can’t get upset when people ask if you still care when these are your actions. From Carrabis who was hosting the Townhall last year.
-
The both of you need to let it go. You're wrong. Hugh is coming off unhinged.
-
While I agree with the vast majority of this, I think it's more than possible (and reported to be the case) that some people just didn't like the look of the job based off the way the owners had acted/are acting. It's certainly fair to ask if Boston may not be the draw it once was, right now.

A couple of noteworthy quotes from @alexspeier’s piece today: “The Sox remain determined to upgrade their rotation and, secondarily, add power to their lineup. But rather than throwing bags of money at those holes, they have bid with the market rather than beyond it in free agency while scouring the trade market for starters with multiple years of control.” “According to multiple sources, the Sox are not currently looking to cut payroll as an end unto itself, but are open to offloading some of their larger guaranteed contracts if they believe they can build a better, and better-rounded, team for 2024 and beyond by doing so. That could take the form of additions — particularly starting pitchers — for the coming season.”

My prevailing feeling on most of the moves that have happened so far.

Jon Morosi @jonmorosi · 40m The Yankees have emerged as the top candidate to sign Marcus Stroman, source says. I’m told the sides have had productive discussions in recent days. We will cover the latest details on @MLBNetwork this morning. This was a little while ago. As with everything this off season - treat with copious amounts of salt.
-
Quite a few reports came out that Bloom would question himself over and over. The last two trade deadliness (which he totally screwed up) seem to back this up. Breslow in trading Duggie and Sale seems to have far more decisiveness, but it's too early to judge for sure yet. Personally, if it was me in the highchair, I'd want as many smart people around me as possible (within reason) feeding me information and perspectives.
-
He and the Yankees are looking close.
-
Because he comes with concerns and we don't know what we've got with him. Clearly. For f*** sake.
-
Some evaluators had Giolito going for four years. MLB and Fangraphs both had him at the length we attained him for, opt outs mentioned. I know the front office has done a lot wrong, for a long time, but of all the things to get bent out of shape over, this really is mad. He was going to get 2 years. If he pitches well in the first year and opts out, great, we'll tag on a QO and take the extra draft pick, thank you. If he doesn't pitch well, that's the risk we take with giving up the contract he was minimally expected to get. Stop looking for reasons to get angry. There's plenty of real ones hanging from the low hanging branches.
-
Why? We need a 1 or at least a 2. We're 100% going trade route for our main guy, assuming we pull it off.
-
Monty is desperate to go back to Texas according to virtually all the journos. Which probably he means he ends up at NYC, yes.
-
Or far more likely, just didn't believe in him. Like most of the league.
-
4 3 Please God neither of the first 2.
-
It's hard to get excited about Imanaga. Especially if it's for $100m
-
Crazy.
