I think just one if a good trade partner can be found. I think the Sox best spend the bulk of their free agent cash on the bullpen. Two from Bradley, Hand and Robles, please... -
Who should the Sox have play CF on opening day?

Or there were never any hard feelings to begin with because Cora owned up to his actions and took his punishment like an adult and did not care what happened to the others... -
Increased velocity? Great, now hittersget to wait just that much less when drawing their walks off Feltman. Feltman doesn't need velocity. He needs control and command...

That's one of the most famous misheard lyrics. Thousands upon thousands of people think that's what it is. The most popular website devoted to misheard song lyrics even takes it's name from it - https://www.kissthisguy.com/

Last 3 seasons IP and ERA+ Lester: 414.1 106 Perez: 312.2 87 Porcello: 424.2 91 Happ: 388.1 105 Odorizzi: 337.0 107 Leake 387.0* 98 (*Skipped 2020) Paxton 331.1 108 Quintana 355.1 98 Tanaka 386.0 107 Teheran 381.2 99 Urena 282.0* 90 (*60 games but only 49 starts) Williams 371.2 93 With regards to durability and performance, Lester actually does make a ton of sense. Perez has been one of the worst pitchers over the last 3 seasons for all the starting options that are available, and he is not remarkably durable. Leake is also one of the more durable options, but he pitches to contact and gives up a lot of home runs. Negotiate at your own risk...

It was a severe miscalculation by the giants if they figured journeyman Gausman would decline a QO...

Update. Zack Wheeler reportedly not available...
-
Or Puig!!
-
But keep Mazza in?
-
Get 2 MLB starters and 2 MLB relievers and this has the potential to be a formidable pitching staff. (Assuming they are all decent pitchers.)
-
If they are saying they would not accept Babe Ruth for Wheeler, either that means they are upping the trade value or they have reached the point where they refuse to make deals for corpses more than 70 years into the decaying process. Either way, it makes the deal very difficult for the Sox, which is not something they need to consider for Zack Wheeler, who is at best the #4 starter in a rotation made solely of guys named Zachary...
-
Eovaldi to the bullpen! The guy has not thrown 125 IP in a season since 2015. You know, back when Albert Pujols was still an All Star and the league's highest paid LTCF resident Miguel Cabrera was a batting champion...
-
Or, we could forget about Wheeler altogether. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/12/phillies-open-to-trade-offers-for-zack-wheeler.html

Oh that's not a rumor. I filledout my application. But so far, no response. No idea why they're stalling on me. Clearly they need to get their butts in gear and make a f'n decision..
-
That might be the best strategy. But right now, the Sox need to find someone to fill his IP from the early season, preferably without resorting to an opener situation, since the bullpen needs a serious overhaul as well. I'm normally not one to rush the post-season, but at some point the Sox really do need to make a move if even just for PR purposes. Joel Payamps and Christian Koss are not going to have any effect on NESN subscriptions...
-
The new rumor is the Phillies are really not trying to move Wheeler...
-
Well, only if I supply video evidence

At this point, I don't want Sale to "try harder" to come back early. Get the recovery done th right way and take all the time you need. The worst thing he could possibly do is push himself and come back as a lesser pitcher or one who re-injures himself and misses even more time. If there is a full season next year and the Sox are 35-45 (or whatever) at the All Star break, does anyone want to see Sale try to push himself and get back in there? At that point, maybe just dial it back a bit and see how 2022 works. The actual problem might be if the Sox are 45-35 (or whatever) and Sale is on the cusp. Then what?
-
I agree here. A failure to win a ring can happen despite superlative work by any GM. But the goal should also be to maintain the success long term and not just go all in for one hopeful title followed by a period of payroll-hampered mediocrity. Any GM can be handed a blank checkbook and put together a winning team. The trick is to build a winner without letting the future fall apart afterwards...

And I heard Orlando Cabrera was that waitress...
-
I heard Theo cheated on his wife with the compensation picks...
-
I heard Foulke's wife slept with Manny's wife after Cabrera introduced them to each other. But I welcome better rumors. The widely-reported stories about his behavior in Chicago were all about his selfish play, like repeatedly (and impolitely) calling the press box during games to have scoring calls on his errors changed, throwing teammates under the bus, etc. And as believable as all that stuff is, it's not like I can prove it even a syllable of it. But all these stories about domestic abuse and infidelity are even further buried in gossip, speculation, and internetuenndo (And yes! I just made up that portmanteau!! Feel free to use it) starting to make me wonder if a lot of you were just watching "Real Housewives of the Boston Red Sox"...

What about pre-2013?
-
So I guess you’re not one to defend Dombrowski’s crazy spending spree by saying “but Henry signed off on it”...
-
NESN is 80% owned by the Fenway Sports Group. Their bottom line does matter to Henry. How much of a factor this is with regards to Sale remains to be seen, but is hopefully not a factor...
