also.....when you "give away" prospects in a deal that you could have made with far less (see: kimbrel, pom) those players that were given away willy nilly could have been used to get the other players (see: Sale). perhaps we could have moncada as our cost controlled starting 2bman and a young stud pitcher making his way back from TJS (espy)....

sometimes silence is golden. the silence and/or the bad news about mookie being traded is easier to swallow if ticket prices are not raised. to me DD saying "everyone is healthy" and within a week 4 players going under the knife is far more egregious......

sorry to hear about this Moon. thoughts to the family.

stay tuned for jacksonianmarch to start a "Erod stubbed his toe" thread......

A700 - i feel bad for you on this one as you have been a season ticket holder. but even you have to admit you saw the writing on the wall after the JH "mandate" for the 2020 season as you did not renew your season ticket plan. i agree with you the Red Sox should NOT have raised a single ticket price this offseason. to me that is the biggest mistake they have done that should not have happened. now that they have traded #50 they should send every season ticket holder a $50 food/drink voucher for every seat they have a season ticket for....

JFC. i feel like the world may end now. FTR - i also think S5's post was pretty freaking perfect.

you forget one simple fact in all these words you typed. the owner of the team mandated a LT reset and you (the GM) needed to shed $20MM from the payroll. we can pretend that isn't a fact if you want. then your words might....might...have meaning......

thank purdue pharma!

this stuff is going to get better and better..... Thomas Boswell of The Washington Post asked Suzuki this week if he believes the Astros were cheating during the World Series last season. The catcher said there is “no question” and that Nationals players could hear whistling coming from the Houston dugout. “We could hear it from their dugout. We heard their whistling,” Suzuki said. “What are you going to do?” In order to counter the sign stealing, Suzuki says the Nationals changed their signs during every at-bat of the World Series. On some occasions, they even tried to change the signs in the middle of an at-bat. He said there were swings Astros hitters had in certain situations that were “so good” there was no other explanation for them aside from sign stealing. “When Max Scherzer has two strikes on you and he throws one 98 miles per hour near your head and you smash it — come on, nobody does that,” Suzuki said. “We got a couple of big strikeouts when their crowd was so loud they couldn’t hear. The whole thing was crazy. I got messed up on signs a couple of times, had to call time and take us out of rhythm. I kept thinking, ‘We have to go to the field and work early on our signs in the World Series just to stop their cheating.’ It’s so stupid and so wrong.”

“I just think we know what’s going on and we know we didn’t do anything,” Benintendi told reporters at the team’s spring training complex. “As far as what the report is going to say, whatever it says, it says. We’re just focused on this year and that’s all we can focus on." “I think all of us are confident in what’s going to come out,” he added.

2020: we can clearly see the reset.

but the economy is so great. how can there possibly be so many homeless people???

bloom showed a ton of patience this offseason. is this really under question?

Sox medical clears him. deal goes through. tomorrow it's revealed he has a pulled hamstring. next week it is found to be torn. sig bet?

Kevin Pillar has been worth $94.6 million. this is $13.6 million less then JBj. so if JBj is making $11 million this season then pillar should be paying John Henry $2.6 million to play for the Red Sox this season. or not.

the budgie in me loves when the numbers are in favor of the team instead of the player.

i never said Mookie was overpaid tho? ‾\_(ツ)_/‾

in my Harmony voice... Jackie Bradley Jr's value per Fangraphs is $108.2 million. Jackie Bradley Jr has earned $20.3 million making him UNDERPAID by $87.9 million. or not.

thanks Al Gore!

no doubt he started hating TS around april-2016
