He started out slow in Boston this year too. Even slower than that in fact…

Because they’re evil!

I don’t think so. If moving Sale was about going cheap, they had a chance to move his entire contract to Texas. But the return would have been negligible, per the rumor. That they paid up to get a player they wanted instead was a good idea, right? It looked to me as though they tried to not only fill the vacancy Sale frequently left in the rotation, but also a glaring hole at 2b. It clearly went wrong in every direction, but that doesn’t make it about “going cheap,” especially considering the minimal reduction in payroll…

Reds (Burns) vs Red Sox (Crochet): 6/30/25, 7:10pm

Decades? No. Sale was the worst trade since 2020. Thats as far back as I can go… -
Question of the week: Who is your first-half MVP?
notin replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
No mention of Ceddane Rafaela? His 2.8 bWAR trails only Crochet (3.7) and Bregman (2.9)… -
Five years max. Anyone arguing 5 is too many probably has a case, too…

Absolutely true. I cannot count the number of times I’ve seen someone comment about an outfielder “not getting good jumps” on flyballs based on watching the player on TV. How do they see that? When I watch games, the outfielders are all already post-jump by the time the camera cuts to them. Now if you’re at the park, you might see the jump. Almost never on TV, however…

Without the benefit of hindsight, would you have been fine just keeping Sale and no other starters added?
-
Just for fun, who was the biggest slob?
-
And coming off his 4.40 ERA season in 2019, wasn’t Sale the ultimate “wait and see” guy? He certainly gave Boston fans the “wait” part…
-
They are unlikely to maintain being 8th in runs scored the rest of the way without Devers…
-
Tucker is certainly intriguing. But he should be avoided due to his clear fits on the Dodgers and Yankees. Pete Alonso makes more sense, especially considering no one really wanted him last off-season. (And I do not like Angry Pete.)

These timelines to competition are such BS. The Sox could be competitive next year if they want to be. It might involve heavy spending, but it can and does happen all the time…

… which might make him less enticing to other teams and at a minimum, diminishes his return value…

Not sure why Abreu, either. Unless they keep Duran…

I had heard that and had heard Mookie wanted to try free agency (which is not the same as wanting out). Given his demands at the time, it’s believable he wanted free agency. But the issue was he simply wanted more money than Boston would pay (or the same money for two more years, as it turned out). This was more of a matter of Boston simply not keeping up with current financial trends. Zack Scott pointed out they never thought of simply deferring money, despite teams doing this as far back as the Yankees with ARod…

How many pitchers do you have to sign to replace a guy who had thrown 150 IP total in the previous 4 years?
-
Do you prefer 7 year David Price contracts? Those tend to be much, much more detrimental when a player gets hurt or sucks…

So few are. Maybe just Swift and Heller are …

That’s clearly what we’ll always call it. At least until the next time…
-
He was clearly satirizing the situation. Key word - clearly…
-
And yet you keep responding to them…
-
And I would have been more sympathetic towards Devers if they just asked him to play first base out of the blue. But that he refused to help out when a teammate went down is inexcusable…
-
In the next couple weeks we might see: C Narvaez 1b Campbell 2b Story SS Mayer 3b Bregman LF Anthony CF Rafaela RF Abreu/Refsnyder Its not thr ‘27 Yankees, but I think at a minimum, that lineup won’t struggle to score 2 runs or less 6 times a week…

They may be more mangled than even that. My Lady Friends debuted in 1919 about 3 weeks before Ruth was sold, and was apparently a moderate hit. It’s not easy to research Frazee’s financial concerns, but every time I look into it, everything points to his primary source of debt being the Red Sox. It seems that the myth was he sold off the Red Sox to finance his theatrical projects, when reality might be that he used his theatrical projects to finance the Red Sox…
