    This 8 million dollars subtracted from the 2026 Payroll maybe going towards a Eugenio Suarez Contract????

    We also traded Prospect Sandlin for ChiSox pitching Prospect

    Seems like guys like Oviedo and Dustin May are those 5th/6th Starter types that have a high ceiling if they reach their potential. Wondering if big trades for Skubal or Ryan are on the table that would include the likes of Bello, Tolle, and Early....???

    He was also on the 2007 Indians, who led ALCS against Sox 3-1. He also was on 2nd Base and was (luckily for us) inexplicably held up at 3rd on a single against the side wall that would have tied Game 7 in the 7th inning and handed over momentum to Cleveland. In this game POS Julio Lugo dropped an easy pop up to TRY and lose the series for Boston.

    Yes, Anthony, Campbell, Rafaela, Crochet. They count. Perhaps soon we'll see external ones. He’s also had Bregman and Chapman externally which were good ones.
  9. King Koji
    He's not worth 7/210 IMHO. Masa was definitely a mistake but he's got only 2-36 left. Devers Contract was also a mistake, same can maybe be said for Story. I like the Contracts Breslow has handed out for the most part.
  10. King Koji
    Im okay with having not paid him. If the Sox dont win the World Series with Mookie 2021-25 we'd be stuck in a bad deal from this point forward. I'm sure everyone would agree that they wouldn't give Mookie 7 years and 210 right now.. We won a World Series with Betts, time to win one built around Crochet and Anthony. Over it.
  11. King Koji
    Oh yes. Thanks for the correction, and apologies.
  12. King Koji
    Did the Red Sox, or did they not, TRY to sign Mookie Betts with a competetive offer? Seems like YOUR the 10-year old.
  13. King Koji
    People get hung up on the "trade" in this equation. As if the Sox were ever playing from a position of strength on this. The "trade," as you call it, ONLY came about when it was made clear that Betts and Boras wouldn't accept Boston offer and were leaving in Free Agency ANYWAY. So think of Betts as someone who left in Free Agency- Johnny Damon, Jon Lester, examples, and that we got Connor Wong back as a bonus. Glad we dont have that Betts Contract on the books right now, Devers too.
  14. King Koji
    Point is, great player that is bound to diminish as time goes on. Let's take the "glass half full" side of this from now on. And this was all a HENRY decision, not a Chaim decision as some refer to. When the BIG Contracts come up thats Ownership, not GM. Last year's Soto Sweepstakes came down to Cohen, Steinbrenner and Henry, not Stearns, Cashman and Breslow.
  15. King Koji
    Sure. Just like most players would, being carried by Ohtani and others.
  16. King Koji
    Mookie Betts career Postseason in 89 games has 8 Home Runs with a .255 Batting Average and .741 OPS. Making him basically a 15 HR a year player with mid averages, slugging, and OPS. Frailish body wears down by October? Or just un-clutch? Take your pick. I do remember we had to CARRY him in our 2018 run.
  17. King Koji
    7 years remaining, at 210 Million +, glad we dont have that deal. Glad we dont have Devers either. Mookie had a .728 OPS this year, while moving from Outfield to Shortstop. Still a good player, but a MAX player going forward??? Just cant go there. Sox are off the hook in my opinion, yeah, Betts got them the 2020 World Series, tainted as it is, but as far as the 2024 and possibly 2025 Dodgers World Series winning teams im gonna have to go with Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman being the MAIN cogs. Relax, and breathe Red Sox nation. We WON a World Series with Betts already. Onward and Upward.

    Having the 6 seed is BETTER than having the 5-seed. Not just this year but EVERY year. Baseball has a problem.
  19. King Koji
    Yeah, I know all that. Having said that we WOULD have beat Cleveland.
  20. King Koji
    Thread title proved correct. Sox would have beat Cleveland, we mightve beaten Seattle on guile. Detroit could've knocked out Yanks. We just HAD to win game 162 and "hold on" to that 5-seed.....SMH.
  21. King Koji
    Welp, I hope the "you try to win EVERY game crowd" is happy with our win over Detroit in Game 162. Instead of facing easy-to-beat Cleveland, we got the buzz saw Yankees and a quick exit. Take a bow!!!!!
  22. King Koji
    This was probably 2005. 1995 Sox won AL East.
  23. King Koji
    That's the whole POINT! See original post.
  24. King Koji
    The fundamental flaw in MLB's Playoff system is apparent, due to not re-seeding after each round a la NFL. If we win today and "earn" the 5-seed we have to play better win percentage NYY/Tor rather than worse percentage Det/Cle if we lose and get the 6-seed. This is THEN followed by having to play better win percentage 1-seed Tor/NYY than worse percentage 2-seed Seattle in the Division Round.. The ONLY possible advantage to being a 5 over a 6 that I can see is if these 2 teams get to the ALCS Final. Then you'd be glad to have home field in a 7-game series. Seemingly a small chance of this happening though and not enough of a gain to overcome the advantage of getting to play two "lesser" teams on the way up the ladder. I would actually call this a serious problem for MLB. Anyways, in my view,, as today goes, LOSE BABY LOSE!

    Still feel the same?
