    I didn’t know they bumped up the World Series to mid-December this season…

    The sportswriters aren’t?!! Well, That’s an accurate gage. I mean, it’s not like they’re above writing clickbait articles that are infinitely more successful when they write bad news. One year ago, we were still roughly 10 weeks away from signing Bregman. And before they, it was these same posts all over again. We’ve all seen this before but some of us are not pretending we haven’t. Offseasons are slow, and they used to be much worse, and not that long ago. We’ve all seen this, but we still have people complaining for SIX WEEKS RUNNING about the lack of activity, which really means the lack of activities they want. Can I safely assume you’re also angry at Santa because your stocking is STILL EMPTY? Schwarber is a very good hitter with no defensive skills whatsoever Alonso is a one-trick pony. There are other options for the Sox, especially if folks focus solely on the 35-40 home runs a player might bring while conveniently forgetting about his other 500-530 at bats…

    I see no reason to continue throwing darts at Fred; he can dodge any point…
  4. notin
    Yeah, why read what people are asking….

    If you’re looking at payroll, players also have built in raises and other players have arbitration raises. It’s not as simple as “we don’t pay Devers’, Buehlers’ and Giolito’s salaries anymore, so they obviously have $70mill to spend just to be where they were last year.” It’s like all of the “we have to replace Bregman and Devers just to break even” nonsense…

    DFAing Hicks doesnt save any money. And what Hicks plus Anthony make is actually pretty close to Devers’ money, just not for as many years…

    So… Youre telling a guy who lives in the Bronx that you know Yankee fans better, and then following it up with a complain by about the Sox not found anything. Too many “wow” moments here…

    If only we had signed Akil Baddoo and stayed off that list!! Ok so far the Padres have signed Kyle Hart, Daison Acosta, and Tyler Adcock. Now in free agency they have lost Dylan Cease, Michael King, Luis Arraez, Nestor Cortes, Elias Díaz, and Jose Iglesias. But hey!! They spent money!! That’s all fans want!!

    Did anyone want Dustin May back? As for Polanco, he wasn’t the answer to what the Sox need. He was the answer to the question “who fits today?” Hes a sub-2 WAR infielder with decent offense and weak defense that a year from now, 50% of all trade posts will include the phrase “only if they take back Polanco”. I think far too many people care more about whether or not Henry spends than the team wins. They’re stockpiling young starting pitching at ridiculous levels. I would expect Duran isn’t the only name on the trading block …

    If you think Alonso was anything more than a convenient alternative, this conversation is over…

    Please never say that again. It screams of entitlement. His legacy is absolutely insured by 4 titles is 15 years for a franchise that only had 5 in their first century.. But appreciating his legacy and being satisfied with his work today are entirely separate things….

    Were Crochet and Bregman bad moves? Or Narvaez?
  13. notin
    Shaw. Matt Shaw Matt Bush is the former overall first pick that went from SS to prison to relief pitcher to retirement. Bregman would replace Nick Hoerner, who has one year left and is reportedly being shopped. Shaw would move to 2b

    Part of the reason the Sox look at players like Contreras and his $41.5 mill over the next 2 years is they believe that he can be acquired without giving up Mayer. Like Mayer or not, his chance of being a starter on the 2026 Red Sox are probably 95% or higher as of today. And Donovan doesn’t make giving up Mayer worth it…

    The farm system fell because of 1) promotions and 2) the Garrett Crochet trade. Also a little unfair to mention the only difference in team performance is “one playoff win.” I mean, they did make the postseason and they were not exactly on the cusp of that in 2022, 2023, and 2024…

    Marte is a much, much better hitter than Albso, and it isn’t close…

    It’s really weird how the Sox could be a top 7 offense, lose Bregman, and suddenly they’re 3 players short. Or is it 5?
  18. notin
    Maybe Seattle is uninterested in Suarez because they’re interested In Bregman..

    What unusual tasks for an agent…
  20. notin
    Well, whoever replaces Toro/Lowe at 1b could be an improvement…
  21. notin
    Nitpicky stuff, but you were the one talking about the 2021 draft and mentioned Al Leiter…
  22. notin
    Or because the Sox need two infielders and trading Mayer for Marte still leaves the Sox needing two infielders…
  23. notin
    Jack Leiter. Al is his dad…

    I always wondered if the chatter of ABS influenced Pitt. Davis reportedly had weak framing skills as his biggest (only?) flaw, but the ABS system would have negated that…

    We hear this every off-season once transactions close on December 11th…
