    That we dumped the guy we only took because he was San Fran’s salary dump?
  2. notin
    Why did we want him? He’s barely a step up over Yoshida, if even that…
  3. notin
    That sounds like embezzlement. I don’t think it’s legal…

    Eugenio Suarez just signed with the Reds. But you’re in luck, Fred. His OPS over the last 3 years was only .775…

    How do I know you’re not Mark Polishuk?

    They arguably don’t need one. Sure improving the offense has benefits. But it’s not the only way to win games. The Sox were 7th in MLB in runs scored last year. Seventh. When they’re seventh from the bottom in percentage of revenue used on salary, you think that is significant. At least I hope you do, because you post it out here hourly. So why is it when they’re seventh best in something, that’s insignificant? In a recent chat, Mark Polishuk of MLBTR said “the Sox were a top ten offense last year. They're not hurting for bats.”

    1) I doubt Henry pocketed any of it. It’s technically not his money, but rather it belongs to FSG. You do know how sports ownership works, right? It’s not the same as that lemonade stand your kids out up in the front yard (which was f***ing adorable, by the way). 2) BTV valuations are NOT REAL MONEY. Henry did not “pocket” a number associated with a scoring system on one website. The’re less pocketable than Monopoly money, because at least that’s tangible…

    Gee, how bold. I’d bet money on any individual player as well. It’s the most meaningless display of confidence…

    He pockets a BTV valuation?

    Danny Coulombe and Luis Rengifo. You heard it here first ,

    They took Hicks to get Sandlin for basically nothing and for a wild card. If Hicks bounces back, they deal him in August for even more prospects. If not, they only paid him $4mill anyway…
  12. notin
    They did clear two 40 man roster spots…

    The Red Sox received former 11th round pick out of The U RHP Gage Ziehl…

    Donovan is too expensive? He made $2.8 mill last year…
  15. notin
    Agreed. It should have been done in 2021…
  16. notin
    Shaw did have a .839 OPS in the second half last year…

    I’m back to back posts, you cite Devers fear of making 1b errors and then how easy it is to get anyone to play 1b. And the Sox probably didn’t want another Franchy Cordero situation. But on May 2nd, you’re pretty limited to your own organization for solutions. And it’s not real easy in the off-season to get an MLB-caliber 1b to sign that minor league deal that allows you to stash him; teams usually just sign players like Abraham Toro that are willing to sign minor league deals…

    No word on Hoerner, who is quite beloved amongst the fanbase. IMO Shaw is more expendable of the two, because even if Hoerner isn’t extended, they still have another BA Top 100 prospect right behind Shaw in James Triantos…

    Cora not speaking can mean multiple things; you just chose the one you want. You don’t even acknowledge other possibilities. Telling Breslow to go get a 1b was actually childish. Theres no way around that.And on May 2, it was unrealistic. If Devers has commentary on the 2b and 1b parade that’s. I support him saying whatever he wants to and in whatever language he chooses. Those issues were around long before Breslow was on board, and neither of them have anything to do with whether or not Devers gets to refuse assignments

    Arraez is now a Giant. If Brendan Donovan is really a target, being a right-handed hitter might not be a priority…
  21. notin
    I can’t tell if this is facetious or not. Wanting him to learn English is actually bad requirement. Not every human is capable of learning multiple languages, and not every franchise face speaks English. Most notably Ohtani, who would have avoided lots of gambling conspiracy theories if he did…
  22. notin
    He can be used multiple times; he just has to clear waivers in between…
  23. notin
    Right. Hey why don’t you show support for your theory? Not sure what Cora saying he never asked him proves. (Actually sure exactly what it proves - absolutely nothing.) But I actually saw through an interpreter Devers say he was not going to move, Breslow should do his job and get another first baseman (this was May 3rd!), and the classic line about “do they expect me to play every position?” Yeah, he sounds like he was all about being a good teammate…
  24. notin
    Yes. If he is activated on to the 40 man roster, he cannot be demoted. Only DFAd…

    I hope so because I eould be more on board with this than I should be. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2026/01/luis-arraez-weighing-multiple-offers-wants-to-play-second-base.html
