Absolutely. One title and fans always stop complaining about the team. Sometimes they go the entire off-season...
-
True, but not having an opinion (or a popular one) doesn’t waive that right...
-
That's part of it, too. We don't really know how all the negotiations went down...
-
The confusing part there was with Lester, the Sox were working with some strategy about not overpaying heavily for pitchers. That whole idea was clearly gone by the time Price hit the market...
-
That doesn’t make sense. So you’re saying if hypothetically I’m 100% satisfied with Henry and feel the job he has done merits no criticism, then I should welcome those with gripes to do so freely?
-
While I do think that other commitments had an impact on Betts’ offer, a $30 mill deal was not very likely. His last season in Boston, he was already making $25 mill...
-
Not necessarily. They could have deferred some like they did with Sale. I seriously doubt existing commitments had no impact on the budget, even in the short term (which included the more important existing CBA years)...
-
Who in the Giants rotation isn't pitching well? Cueto and Desclafini also look like studs...
-
It still affected the decision to some degree. Even JD Martinez said the team would not be able to carry two $30mill players...
-
Since the trade Verdugo (314 PAs): OPS+ 132 Betts (340 PAs): OPS+ 141 All things considered (unloading Price, years of control, freed up payroll, getting Downs and Wong), the early returns do look good here...
-
Agreed. The Halos problem isn’t Trout’s contract. It’s the deals of Pujols, Upton and Rendon. Plus having a farm system only capable of producing fragile pitchers...
-
And those last two years represent 345 plate appearances spread across 2 seasons. This year’s .220 BABIP could also be a factor...
-
And he looks like crap in the outfield...
-
Why would you waive them if they still have options? To release them? Other than Duran, the Sox don't have anyone in the minors that you look at and think "We need to get THIS GUY a shot."...
-
I have both on my fantasy team. Verdugo is saving me while Mookie is killing me...
-
Well, his OPS is 2019 was .854, which is better than his career average was even at the time (and second highest of his career). 2020 and 2021 have consisted of 345 plate appearances total, which for him is just over half of one season. The body is not cold yet...
-
Moss was an All Star...
-
Well, the concept of "winning" does go hand in hand with the concept of "losing", usially on the opposite side of the same contest/match/game whatever. Trades are more difficult, because it can work out for both sides but that doesn't necessarily equate to a tie...
-
And one of those prospects we dealt was JB Wendelken, who is still pitching pretty well in the Oakland bullpen...
-
I stand corrected. Burnes does have the record for a starting pitcher at 49 K's without a BB (and counting), even after last night's beating at the hands of the Marlins (in which he K'd 9 and still issued no walks). The actual record for strikeouts before issuing a walk to start the season is 51 K's by Kenley Jansen in 2017...
-
He's 0 for 15 lifetime with 6 K's and 1 sac bunt. So maybe he's due? -
I know that, but it sounds like it when he becomes the justification for carrying 14 pitchers. Really most teams that have the 4 bench players have that one player that has been rostered all month and still only has somewhere between 5 and 8 plate appearances. The Sox just cut out that guy and used another bullpen pitcher. I just wonder what happened to the rule from 2020 that teams could have 26 man rosters but not more than 13 pitchers...
-
And Allen has yet t become anything special, but right now he is better than Josh Taylor. Of course, the trade that got us Taylor could also be viewed as a win, considering we got him for Deven Marrero...
-
The problem with calling Boston a “winner” in those deals is it implies Toronto and Tampa were losers. Exactly what did either team lose out on considering both Eovaldi and Pearce hit free agency three months after being dealt and both teams still have a Major League ball player on the roster?
-
I wouldn’t call Pearce and Eovaldi “under the radar.” We were all aware, both played big roles in October, and both signed new deals with Boston. The biggest “under the radar” deadline acquisition in Red Sox history is far and away dealing Henri Stanley to the Dodgers for Dave Roberts...
