f*** comparing the Sox to the Dodgers when it comes to spending. I’m hoping in the very near future, we’re not comparing the Sox to the Reds. I’d greatly prefer being Tampa North over being Cincinnati East…
-
Dalbec has a .296 OPS vs LHP this year. The Braves could match him up with Charlie Morton using his left arm to pitch and it would probably be effective…
-
The Dodgers don’t seem to mind taking on our rubbish contracts. Last time they did it, the best player we got back was James Loney…
-
That grenade might provide the only pop today…
-
That’s not even a good 5-6-7-8 for Polar Park…
-
My wife’s was $2.30 this morning…
-
And Jay Groome somehow manages to become even less relevant…
-
His last chance will involve converting to pitching…
-
There was also no other way to get rid any part of Price…
-
Where are you still getting coffee for $1.50?
-
His first season was good. The other 3 were fairly pedestrian. They didn't get much for their $172mill...
-
I meant that one theory…
-
Ben spent. Just very poorly outside of 2013. And if it was all about convincing Henry, why wasn’t DD able to convince Henry to spend on Mookie?
-
So you think Price and his 6.2 fWAR in the last 3 years at a cost of $93mill was a better deal than Grissom?
-
He was cyclically tight-fisted. Spend for two years, dial back for one. The payroll did get higher than $240mil at one point, not an easy accomplishment if one is tight-fisted… Not sure why Lester was the only SP affected by their sudden aversion to pitchers over 30z
-
Hey Bagwell is still available and probably an upgrade at 1b..
-
Just how key was Price? He was a 1.5-2.5 fWAR pitcher after the first year of the deal during the years he did pitch. Not exactly irreplaceable. Was he worth the $31mill? And do you suppose that contract had any influence on Henry’s newfound tight-fisted ways? Why do you rate Price by the accomplishments of the team and players like Yoshida and Grissom as individual products of their stars?
-
Isn’t that what Arizona and Texas did last year?
-
I never liked it. He was 31 and signed for 7 years. Best the Six could hope for was he would reach the opt out unharmed after 3 seasons. He didn’t…

There are plenty of examples, but this feels like a stretch. Kike was extended long before there was any need for a shortstop, and was extended for much more than most of the stopgap shortstops received. That whole situation was a huge flop by Bloom, who was allowed to sign/acquire a shortstop, and he decided on Adalberto Mondesi, who still has yet to suit up for action…
-
Price wasn’t exactly a feather in DD’s cap. Really he was good with free agent hitters, not so good with free agent pitchers…
-
The Sox did manage to draw fans during that 1918-2004 gap somehow…
-
Has anyone ever noticed this little oddity on Baseball-Reference? https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/o/o'neipa01.shtml You knew he batted and threw left-handed. Did you know it didn’t end there?
-
It’s cyclical with lots teams, too. Yankees and Dodgers, it’s nearly every year. Two years ago, the Rangers went crazy. Last year, it was the Mets. This year, the Royals spent a lot. And next year, someone will replace the Royals on that list…
-
The Sox do outdraw the Orioles and by a lot. Sox attendance per Baseball Almanac 2019: 2.92mill 2020: COVID 2021: 1.73mill 2022: 2.62mill 2023: 2.68mill The winning team drew the least and by a lot, although this was very likely influenced by COVID. Per B-A, the Sox haven’t drawn 3 mill fans since 2012, a year in which they came in last. Two championships since have both drawn under 3 million fans…
