    The issues with Houck’s lack of a third pitch are overblown…

    Pablo made it interesting. Then Whitlock made it much less interesting…

    More likely the Sox deal an OF for a SP. Who was the last big contract SP that Boston signed who worked out? Lackey? I suppose if your criteria for “worked out” is a 5 year deal where he was average the first year, horrible the second, didn’t pitch the third and bounced back in the fourth…

    That certainly happens. I recall Bryce Harper switch hit in high school, for example. But some, like JT Snow and Daniel Nava, stopped switch hitting deep into their MLB careers Switch hitters are most often very good from one side of the plate only. Players like Victor Martinez, who was equally good from both sides, are freakish rarities. Most are better left-handed. Switch hitters like former Philly/Sox 3b Dave Hollins, who are far better right-handed simply should not switch hit…

    I don’t think his 1 year $2mill extension is going to handicap the payroll in 2024…

    Gee, mine is heights…

    Their best pitcher against us was McClanahan and their best hitter was Franco. That riddle might be solving itself…

    Even serial killer?

    Like when a celebrity close to my age passes away, and I start thinking about my own mortality. Then reality kicks in and I think “Wait a second. I have absolutely no idea how much cocaine that guy did!!”

    Well, he did say “until the facts come out.” It’s a defensible position for a few reasons like: 1. Lies, rumors, conspiracy theories, etc. are rampant on the Internet. 2. I’m fairly confident s/he, like most of us, is not in any position to influence the outcome of this situation…

    It’s not too difficult to argue about how accustomed we are to professional athletes committing crimes, either. After all, the joke is NFL stands for National Felons League, not National Fornication League…

    Including his wife aka the mother of his two children? Not sure why that part of his life is being so glossed over here…
  14. notin
    Or … crazy thought here … don’t hit on anyone if you have a wife and two kids at home…

    You also need to get some occasional action for the bench players so they’re not too rusty when you need them…

    He cannot swim with his injury!!

    It’s probably worth noting Franco is extraordinarily wealthy and often players like him are targeted in schemes, scams and crimes for their money. We’ve heard stories of player’s family members getting abducted (such as with Elias Diaz) or players themselves getting abducted (Wilson Ramos) and even killed outright (Luis Valbuena) in the course of crimes. I’m reserving judgment and letting MLB sort this one out. And I say this as a parent of a daughter a little older than the alleged victim…

    Absolutely. All McGuire ruined was his own reputation…

    Plenty of season left for him to injure himself…

    You’ll stop laughing when the Sox trade for Soto this off-season and extend him.
  21. notin
    Verdugo was cleared of any wrongdoing years ago. But I guess accusations are as good as guilt…
  22. notin
    Kind of hoping he tries to get Juan Soto into that mix…
  23. notin
    Go Royals, Phillies, Marlins and of course Red Sox!
  24. notin
    I get where you’re going, but Hernandez was in the NFL, where contracts can be terminated simply because someone else plays your position better…

    Endorsement deals are different and can often be voided at the discretion of the negotiating party. I’m sure we have a lawyer on this forum better suited to explain it than me…
