No, I waited until birth to begin my fandom. As a fetus, I liked hockey more, but then I grew up...

Maybe he sees the same thing he saw in Tyler Glasnow, who had an ERA+ of 71 in 141 IP with Pittsburgh. Pivetta is a bit older at the time of the deal and lacks Glasnow's prospect pedigree, but he had an ERA+ of 78 in 396 IP with Philly. So expecting the same level of turnaround is probably unrealistic...

Typically I say it about those long term David Price-esque contracts that give you maybe one or two seasons of productivity and then become a contractual anchor that drags the team to the bottom of the ocean. I have always said the years bother me more than the money. If the Sox paid Trevor Bauer $40 mill for one year, I'd be ok with that. But if they paid him $200 mill for 6 years, I'd be voicing my concern on this forum the day the deal was signed....

I say that all the time...

Why not? The Pirates get top picks all the time..,
-
Cora carries both positive and negative PR...
-
To be fair, I don’t think anyone on that list is getting a big contract...
-
If Duran makes them team, it’s to start. If Puello makes the team, he’s on the bench. They shouldn’t impact each other’s status...
-
He didn’t forget Benintendi. He left him out in favor of Duran on purpose...

The Sox ranked 30th in UZR/150 and 26th in DRS at 3B. Maybe move Devers to 1B and Dalbec to 3B?
-
He plays 1B, 2B and corner OF and posted a respectable .807 OPS in 171 PA this year, not to mention Bloom has acquired him before. While certainly not the most exciting acquisition, I would put him as Bloom's Most Likely Acquisition (a distinction not based on team need, just probability)...

Covey and Stock (and Mazza) did look better with their advanced metrics, and that might give them a chance at sticking. Kickham, Triggs, Springs, and Matt "Spin Rate" Hall might not be so lucky...

Safe to assume Peraza is not going to be a factor. He's the foremost non-tender candidate, possibly more so than Lin and Brice...
-
Kevin Cash is also a former catcher. I'm telling you, current Rays' bench coach Matt Quatraro is definitely a candidate, if not the outright front-runner. Quatraro is a former catcher who also has minor league managerial experience and, and this is the most important part, is a Bloom guy. You will be hearing this name over the next two months. But you heard it here first...

I looked back. It was jad who made that awesome joke...

Cora was hired during the ALCS in 2017. In fact, we had a poster on this very forum in the "Fire Alex Cora" thread that started that day facetiously (and hilariously) deriding him for attending a Yankee game the night be got hired...

Record by month July 3-5 August 9-18 September 12-13 They were awful for one month, but their turnaround was still sub-.500. As for how good over 162 games, that's just conjecture. With this pitching over 162 games, it's just as easy to believe this team finishes 62-100 as it is to believe they finish 81-81....
-
They have seen that spending on multiple second tier names can have some success, like they did back in 2013...
-
But he was still attached in the media and suspended. If the Sox do avoid him, it could be for PR reasons.
-
Silly Bronx Bomber fan. No Red Sox season is truly over until the Yankees are eliminated and their fans blame the umpires for it, often with conspiracy theories...
-
Matt Quatraro. Book it...
-
To be fair, I’ve seen the “long run ending in dropped ball” scored a hit sometimes...
-
Brantley, Kolten Wong (if St. Louis declines his option), Trevor Rosenthal and James McCann Benintendi and Vazquez are moved for pitching...
-
Well, a player can get an error if a wild throw allows a runner to advance a base. But the “not assuming a double play” is more for determining if a run that scores is earned or not....
