    Or both, like Bud Selig…

    They should get prospects back. It’s really difficult to get contributing major leaguers at the deadline, since any team you’re dealing with expects those players to stay and, well, contribute. Cherington tried tjis in 2014, dealing Lester and Lackey and hetting back Allen Craig, Yoenis Cespedes and Joe Kelly. Craig was just a bad contract that did nothing in Boston. Cespedes was later flipped for Rick Porcello that off-season. Only Kelly stuck around. Selling off your two best pitchers should have yielded much more. Get prospects. Deal them in December/January when more teams will be in position to make deals with a better variety of targets…

    Diaz has been out since mid-April - $23mill Mookie Betts - .606 OPS, $30mill

    If I got “demoted” to run the day-to-day operations of the Boston Red Sox?? Hell yeah!! That said, Theo has already crossed that off his rather impressive bucket list..

    Well, he’s an ex-Yankee. They fair notoriously poorly in Boston…

    I thought the Sox might. But considering not even a single rumor since Breslow announced his mission to get a RHH bat, I think his white flag is cocked and ready…

    Colorado might have no SS prospects, but Tovar is signed for 4 more years at anout $52mill. While rumors persist they would move him and that contract, I don’t buy it. He’s only 24, a stellar defender, and far from their biggest problem. Move Story to 2b when he’s healthy. He is a RHH with some pop and the Sox need infielders and RHH pop…

    Free agency is ALL ABOUT paying for past performances. The Juan Soto types that reach at age 26 are ridiculously uncommon, and the Kyle Schwarber types that do nothing in their 20s before taking off in their 30s are even less common. The bulk of them are 30-35 and ready to wind down their MLB careers. They might have 1-3 good seasons left, but you have to pay for 7 seasons to get them. And what do you do in years 4-7 with tjis expensive untradable eating 10-15%?of the payroll?

    One of the issues with the Sox recently has been the rapid promotion of top prospects followed by immediate impatience. Why is Arias not next in line there? I’m on the short list of Yoshida supporters, but he is looking like it’s time to cut bait. The only reason not to is there are enough other issues less likely to straighten themselves out. Story would be another DFA target, but he actually is or recently was a RHH power bat. He needs to move to 2b immediately upon his return, however. And if he won’t, it’s a DFA. Hes not tradable like Devers was. Doubtful Colorado wants Story. I was watching them play last night and I’ve never heard of half of that team. I think they’re trying to go through MLB. anonymously.

    You really think the Sox are the laughingstock of MLB? Or are you just throwing that phrase around for effect?

    Iceland. Not a joke. He really went to Iceland (according to his posts)…

    And you posted this on a day when bottom third payroll teams in Tampa, Milwaukee and Chicago (AL) are all in first place while MLB’s top spending team sits in last place…

    And the others got deeper into the postseason than that 2001 Seattle Mariner team that went 116-46. I’m ok with an 86 win WS runner up…

    1. Holley really is an idiot. 2. No one said any of us weren’t. 3. Honestly, there should be a big difference in information disseminated from a man with a radio show capable of reaching thousands and maybe a couple dozen folks whose entire audience is each other.

    Also I believe - and I hope I’m wrong since it’s June freakin’ 10th - this was the first multi-home run game for any member of the 2026 Red Sox…

    If I were you, I’d work tirelessly and endlessly to discredit the author of the article for including Narvaez. And then you should drive the point home by sleeping with his wife…
  17. notin
    Why not demote Narvaez? I’ve never seen an MLB team with more players with catching experience. Narvaez, Wong, Gasper, Contreras, IKF, and Siegler. I think the Sox have things covered there…

    Did you really think Cedric Mullens was going to go an entire series against Boston without a home run?

    As I have been saying for about 2 weeks now - Durbin is getting better…

    Like Thomson before him, Mattingly basically inherited a bunch of underperforming all stars. Why do the Phillies just take April off every few years? To clean out the manager’s office?
  21. notin
    He likely hasn’t heard of you either…
  22. notin
    But only because other teams played 2 or more games worse than they did…

    Didn’t the DBacks get to the WS with 86 wins just 3 years ago? Id like to see a 98 win team in Boston today, but it’s not going to happen this year (barring September games when an occasional team with 98 wins comes to visit). But I’ll take an 86 win playoff team, especially if that team has a key injury return or some reason to think they’ve been underperforming all year…

    Just flipping and flopping like a carp on the sidewalk…

    Sox didn’t win the AL East in 2004 or 2007…
