  1. If you spend and it doesn’t work, that might be on the players. But if you don’t spend and it doesn’t work, that’s on you...
  2. ... got released by the Brewers. He’s owed about $600K this year and has a $4.3mill option for next year, and is one year removed from an All Star season with the Brewers. Grab him for next season, DD! You paid more money to bench players Holt, Pearce and Nunez each this year!
  3. And that number could have been improved if DD paid any attention to the bullpen instead of losing both Kimbrel and Kelly and somehow concluding “Colten Brewer should be enough here.”
  4. Fixed that for you.
  5. It’s one thing to prioritize a rotation over the bullpen. It’s another to prioritize a backup 1b over the bullpen...
  6. It’s been the same story through so many regimes it’s hard to isolate the issue...
  7. It is crazy, but these games have a following. The weird thing is, international competition is getting to be a big thing but the stranglehold the cable companies have limits the US severely...
  8. Actually, especially in Europe, the growth of e-sports appears to be trouncing all real sports...
  9. You’re assuming he’s decided. One has to wonder if he’ll have Dombrowski/Romero/Insert New GM Name here clean house of some of these loftier contracts. Plenty of people will say Price is untradable, but I bet those same people said the same thing about Robinson Cano...
  10. I’m not sure what you mean. Life was more than fair to Rob Gronkowski...
  11. Well it might not. But if the team is resetting for 2021 it helps. 2020 is a very pivotal season. Do the Sox keep spending, something Dombrowski doesn’t appear to do very well? Or do they step back and regroup for one year?
  12. And he discussed it a couple years prior and it didn’t happen out of the blue during his team’s third preseason game...
  13. At this point, all headroom is good headroom...
  14. Yes. I don’t think Pearce had much e get along interest...
  15. I am not going to accuse Boras of being part of any sort of illegal tampering without anything more than the internet rumor mill. You’d think his reputation alone would be enough to keep clean. I think JD holds off for one more year, when his pay drops by $4mill. If he did opt out this year, it would be awesome for Boston...
  16. 1) It does appear that was the decision. 2) We don’t know how involved Henry gets, but we do know Dombrowski is involved in these decisions...
  17. Of course you have to find a way to negate the contributions of Steve Pearce...
  18. While Martinez should not opt out, you might be underestimating the spending power of the White Sox, a team that budgeted close to $300mill for Manny Machado and friends...
  19. Sure getting a high first rounder helps. Assuming you don’t draft a bust, and work with him properly. And then in 3-5 years you have a player!!! If the Sox are rebuilding, the draft is NOT the way to go. Oh they have to do it and do it right. But it’s too long of a process. I’m not sure what Mookie might bring back (and I wouldn’t start by dealing him), but a year of him might be worth more than 3 months of Aroldis Chapman. ERod isn’t the Sox most useful chip, FYI. Devers is. Followed by Benintendi...
  20. Whatever. There were plenty of people out here who couldn’t believe anyone put any faith in 30IP from Brasier...
  21. If the Sox are going to rebuild the farm, it's not going to be through the draft...
  22. So its going to be a home game?
  23. Whether or not this works out, at least DD finally did something. It’s good to see he finally saw a free agent pitcher he liked as much as he liked Chris Owings...
  24. Right. Just win as often as possible and know you won’t win them all...
  25. Is there someone out there in denial and arguing that Bradley didn’t get $8.5mill in his third arb year? I thought that was settled. Now his fourth arb year is another matter. You know, since you go out of your way to fix all my mistakes
