    So you’d decline Peralta’s $8mill team option for 2026? Also, you wouldn’t give up the Password for Pivetta?

    And now he’s getting used to facing a bunch of new hard-throwing arms he’s only faced a very limited number of times, if any, before…

    While a valid point, on its own, it’s still a terrible song. Easily separated from the brilliance of Surrealistic Pillow…

    Wellllll… Toro has a .514 OPS over the past 15 games. It was much lower, but a couple recent hits catapulted it back up. Toro is a bench player. The Sox would probably do better if they pushed him back there…

    Agreed.

    Outliers exist in all sample sizes. The real problem with my example is 5Gold and I need to make more cash…

    You’re right. He’s an excellent candidate so far…

    Agreed. I think they will be Comeback award too often goes to a breakout player, as opposed to a player reverting to superior performance after a prolonged career slide. Justin Wilson is the clear Red Sox candidate. And if he keeps it up, he should be considered for the AL Award (which he will never win)…

    He is on the 60 day IL…

    I disagree. First of all, they’ve been struggling to land nine figure free agents for some reason. Not sure why. Maybe Rice-A-Roni is less popular than I thought. Second, he said he will be a 1b/DH there and do so happily. Possibly even whistling all the while. His game really only had two glaring flaws - very weak defense at 3b and refusing to move off 3b. Sounds like he has finally fixed them both..

    Overall, I think they will be happy with the trade. I just hope Boston is as well…

    It is definitely one of those times where average is a misleading standalone stat. Which I find to be true most of the time. I mean, me, you, and Bill Gates have an average net worth of $39billion. Does that make you feel better about your current financial situation? (I am assuming in this example, you are NOT. a multibillionaire. Not more than $3billion, at least…)

    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…

    Decades? No. Sale was the worst trade since 2020. Thats as far back as I can go…

    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?
  21. notin
    Just for fun, who was the biggest slob?
  22. notin
    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…
