The 2026 Red Sox Foundation & One Possible Plan
notin replied to moonslav59's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
If Bregman stays, will Breslow really overhaul a relatively young team that made the postseason? If Bregman opts out, it gets interesting. But if not, the Sox have two logjams to clear up - OF and 1b/DH. One (and probably only one) from Anthony, Abreu, Duran and Rafaela could get moved. They also have Casas, Campbell, Yoshida and Lowe all in the 1b/DH mix. And that only gets slightly clearer if they non-tender Lowe, which is unfortunate as he is the best all around 1b of the bunch. Some have options. Those might be used. Also I strongly believe Password will not be a 5th outfielder. If Refsnyder retires, Eaton might take his place. Hes certainly more likely to than Password… -
Not sure. Campbell? Is that really relevant? If no team would trade him a 1b, how would he address it? Heck was signing Lowe really a no-brainer?
-
They’re in the postseason. That outranks a weak deadline. That outranks trading their best hitter in June, too…
-
He did bring in Lowe. Is the problem that he didn’t get a hitter on July 31?
-
I know I’m going out on a weak limb, but I don’t think you can fire him regardless of what he does or doesn’t do…
-
And if you think he should be fired for it, you’re unrealistic…
-
Fair point…
-
Then I want the War Room on full alert. This is Def Con 5. No, make that Def Con 8! And counting. And when we get to Def Con 12, sell!
-
I’d take Roman over Wood, but I’d take Wood over Campbell or Abreu…
-
Last year KC made the postseason despite being under .500 when not playing the White Sox…
-
A brick column? He’s built like a Jenga tower halfway through the game…
-
Just to emphasize the even more obvious - Breslow could have passed on Lowe and his negative WAR and .665 OPS that just got him released from one of the worst teams in the league. Liwe might have chosen Boston. But that doesn’t mean presence is completely separated from Breslow…
-
The really weird part to me is he was a good minor leaguer, but not a great one. He’s crushed MLB pitching much worse than he did to minor league pitching. Weakness to exploit?
-
It’s a little silly h that some folks like to emphasize all last place finishes are equal. The Sox last 3 cellars (not counting 2020) were all with 78 win teams. 78 wins isnt really all that bad and certainly not close to 60 wins. In fact, since MLB has gone to 3 divisions, only 4 teams have finished 5th in their division with as many as 78 wins, and the Sox have been 3 of them. If a team finishes in 5th with 78 wins, it might say more about the division than it does about the team…
-
No. Star players need to play by the same rules as everyone else…
-
Did this really happen?
-
Nobody other than maybe Steve Matz and Dustin May was happy with his performance at the TD. But that he should be FIRED for it is flat out ignorance. His job is much, much more than a couple days at the end of July, and there is a world of difference between Breslow and Bloom at the deadline…
-
That can’t be. He was very active at the trade deadline…

A Realistic View of the 2025 Red Sox: Part II

Washington needs pitching. Maybe some middle infield help… -
Clutch those pearls with anger!!!
-
So if they get in and lose two quick games in Cleveland, they’re not flops. But if they lose out on that last spot on a tiebreaker, they’re not flops. That’s a hard line in the sand. i look at it this way. When was the last time we were still even talking post season and using phrases like “Magic number” at the 157 game mark?

A Realistic View of the 2025 Red Sox: Part II

… which puts the Sox magic number at 3 -
Absolutely not. Losing out in a tight race that was always tight isnt choking. It’s not like the 2007 Mets…
-
You’re just giving Ryan an excuse for sucking. He gets paid better for success in these “meaningless” games…
-
The Sox are not cruising, but they are far from flopping. The Tigers, on the other hand, are on the verge of the worst collapse in MLB history. At one point, they had a 15.5 game lead over Cleveland. Completely gone. This would be the largest deficit ever erased in MLB history, eclipsing the 15 game deficit the 1915 Boston Braves overcame to pass the Phillies…
