    Hendriks actually doesn’t have much experience as a closer. 114 of his 116 saves came in one 4 year stretch of his 13 year career…

    Does this all start in 2018? I’d have never approved the Price contract in the first place. Also, don’t forget once DD realized he could never get Mookie to sign for what he was allowed to spend, he pivoted to securing Bogaerts and Sale for roughly 75% of what Mookie signed for. So Mookie wasn’t that much further out of reach…

    Oh I agree he did allow DD to. But that was then. The whole reason they switched to Bloom was to start their new path of not spending (while saying they were)…

    So we have a DH with an OPS of .447? And an OPS vs RHP of .520? Does Cora think DH stands for “Doesn’t Hit”?

    Some of them stil have options, I believe. Hendriks, yes if healthy. Fulmer? Doubtful anyone has given any thought to his role in 2025 yet. Heck, the plan might eventually be that he replaces Pivetta in the rotation for all we know at this point…

    I like Pivetta and O’Neill, but I would be surprised if either one actually got re-signed. Especially O’Neill…

    It’s certainly likely the Sox roll forward in 2025 with Duran, Rafaela and Abreu ahead of Refsnyder in the OF. This roster is missing Yoshida, who’s extremely likely to be back next year as the DH role. That doesn’t leave much for adding a RHH power bat, but they could always add some Andrew McCutchen type to platoon at DH…

    But the point is Henry wouldn’t allow DD to do that here…

    The Sox 2025 bullpen should be easy to predict, since Breslow already starting building it. Liam Hendriks and Michael Fulmer are already signed. Hopefully the Sox finally learn their lesson about Whitlock. We could also very likely see the returns of any or all of Josh Winckowski, Zack Kelly, Isaiah Kennedy, Brennan Bernardino, Greg Weissert, Cam Booser, and Justin Slaten….

    Also the Phillies are spending at levels Sox’ fans have never seen. Their current roster has 7 players making $20mill or more. The current Sox roster has two…

    Man you quit too soon. Ruth’s last season for the Red Sox - 1919. Betts’ last season for the Red Sox - 2019 In his last season with the Sox, Ruth hit 29 HRs and lead the league in runs scored. In his last season in Boston, Betts hit 29 home runs and lead the league in runs scored. Also, in 1919 Ruth had a secretary named Betts. In 2019, Betts had a secretary named Ruth…

    Teams have been doing that for years. Except Breslow for some reason…

    Right. Replace Tommy John surgery with Steve Austin surgery. Henry would love this idea, because nowadays $6,000,000 is pretty cheap for a good starter…

    Abreu is tied with Colten Cowser for the lead among AL rookies with 1.7 fWAR. What is being ignored is Justin Slaten is 6th with 1.1 fWAR

    Hopefully it doesn’t just feel that way…

    To me, that was a turning point. I can deal with trading Marco Scutaro to fit Cody Ross into the budget. I can even deal with replacing Craig Kimbrel with Colten Brewer. But not letting DD lock up Betts was just wrong…
  17. notin
    He did hire good baseball people and largely let them do their thing. What current or former MLB owner does anything better than that?
  18. notin
    I like how you present growing up and growing old as dual options…
  19. notin
    He was good for this franchise for a long time, but he’s become a detriment in recent years. I know very little of him personality wise…

    At a minimum, Breslow gets an INC grade. But the jury is out as to whether or not he is a powerless future scapegoat or a frontline co-conspirator...

    Sam spent all off-season perfecting the role of Squealer…
  22. notin
    Agreed. Some might argue over-achieving. Some say they’re just achieving. Only Kennedy and his office mates think they are under-achieving…
  23. notin
    I actually thought most people viewed this team as “over performing”…
  24. notin
    Now that’s more like it…

    Naylor worked out, but most of the other names have not. Lucchesi, Quantrill, Myers, Patino. There was also another outfielder the Sox could have taken in place of Naylor. I don’t think Campusano was in the final offer…
