Especially since you haven’t won anything in over 30 years and you’ve lost two of the last 3 World Series to teams currently embroiled in cheating scandals. The main reason to not make it is you think you’re already good enough, since it might have taken cheating to knock you out...

He’s going to sign somewhere next season. And it’s going to be somewhere that pays a lot. The Sox are certainly on the short list there, and a few other teams have probably already committed enough money elsewhere that they can be easily overbid...

One of only two players in MLB history to win Rookie of the Year, MVP, Gold Glove and Silver Slugger all in his first two seasons...

No. This is a fake punt. But one where the signal call made before the snap is “Fake punt on 3!” Or something along the lines of Chico Marx play calling in “Horsefeathers”. But with a rhyme for “fake punt”...

This is a terrible punt. So far the Sox have not unloaded one big contract, not trade away one veteran player, and not acquired one prospect. If the Sox are rebuilding, they need to learn how to do it...

Perverts have families, too...

You asked if there would be any issue if Henry didn’t announce the cut in payroll, but just didn’t spend. That was pretty much last off-season in a nutshell, right? Do you think (or know) if their lack of action had an impact?

JDM says absolutely no cheating and team will be cleared

No that idea came from Beltran’s niece, who was left on the group text after Carlos went to NY... -
Were there any in 2019? That was the exact off-season plan...

Since he realized the whole thing could be done for $500 and a trip to Best Buy? Despite attempts to make this scheme look elaborate and advanced, they were banging a garbage can. If Crane was involved, don’t you think he’d say “What? Spend some real money and get an actual messaging system.” -
The Red Sox have clearly moved on, but it’s not up to them about whether or not Pedroia retires and walks away from all the money he’s owed (which he ain’t gonna do)...

All the stolen signs in the world can’t turn Hector Velasquez and Ryan Weber into quality starting pitchers...
-
No, but until it’s confirmed they are, why stand still? Deal with that situation when it’s ofgicial
-
Exactly. Go with the flow. What’s the record for number of managers used by a single team in a single calendar year? If things break wrong for this team, they could challenge it...
-
Screw PR. Not having a team and manager causes a ticket sales hit. Much, much worse...
-
He might like Weber - heck, he clearly does- but the chances of a 30 year old career minor leaguer with no options left passing through waivers unclaimed are somewhere between 99% and 101% ...

Sometimes I think he’s playing solitaire...

It’s clearly fake. Bloom first sign right-handed pitchers. You know that. But if he made those moves and added some bullpen depth, I’d be good with it. I am starting to have some doubts about Bloom, mostly because Ryan Weber is still in this team despite his being a 30yo AAAA pitcher with no options left. How do you DFA Lakins and keep Weber?
-
Clearly the Mets dialed the wrong number. Later this week, expect them to announce their new manager Dusty Barker...
-
How about this: 1. Trade Jackie Bradley for Jake Lamb 2. Sign Yasiel Puig and move Mookie to CF 3. Sign Jeremy Hellickson to a MiLB contract. Puig is crazy, but the man can flat out play. After this off-season, if the Sox want to compete, maybe they need to roll the dice on the highest upside player still in the market...
-
No Yasiel Puig?
-
I’ve mentioned Baker as a candidate. The problem with him is that his phone is ringing off the hook this past week...

At that point, you move on. We don’t even know yet if there is a mess to drag anyone in to. It’s interesting that Roenicke is already implicated, and according to some, these scandals clearly involve upper management and ownership, which should implicate Tek. But going outside (where you really don’t know what the guy was doing) is how the Sox got into this mess. Just promote Roenicke and move on. He’s been around the league and even managed teams before without any cheating scandals...

My OCD tendencies had me thinking a good title for a Sox Blog would be “Anal Sox.” But then the Google searches might take a potential reader elsewhere to a far more distracting site...
