    Actually that’s Carolina’s claim to fame now…

    You also don’t have an interpreter. By the way, where did you say these accounts were again? 😉

    The best part of that scandal was Michael Che’s joke on SNL “Shohei Ohtani’s translator was arrested in connection with sports betting. When reached for comment, Ohtani said …. something in Japanese.”

    Having seen Zack Wilson play QB, I can tell you that you’re not the first to attach a question mark to his name…

    Giancarlo Stanton step aside!

    Ok. We get your point that the competition in the WBC isnt the same as MLB, but Yoshida is outhitting most of Team USA in the tournament so far and those guys are facing that same inferior pitching…

    If they win 90, they’re in the postseason. Book it…

    Same deal as Ranger Suarez…

    Whatever they offered Alonso was probably too much. One-dimensional player whose only selling point was he was supposed to be substantially cheaper than someone like Bregman. Contreras doesn’t excite me. But I think prefer him to Alonso at what Baltimore is paying him…

    So we need proof to suspect we don’t have the entire story? Exactly how ironclad should this proof be? And does it only apply to Ohtani and gambling? Also, if we accuse him without proof, exactly which law enforcement agency will be handling our cases?

    I’m starting to wonder why the epitome of fiscal irresponsibility is a drunken sailor, a man who, when at sea, has no ability to spend while he earns Now let’s compare this to a college student with a credit card…

    The Dodgers consisted not only of $300,000,000 in deferred money, but it was to be paid out at $30 per year for 10,000,000 years …

    Zack Wilson played QB for the Miami Dolphins. Zack Scott is the Sox (and later Mets) former FO person to whom you are referring…

    Ive seen multiple reports of $300mill, but I want to say most of them were pre-Bloom. By the time Bloom was hired, extending Betts was next to impossible…

    The Red Sox will not be a 90 win 4th place team. And if by some freakish “first time ever in MLB” miracle they are, then credit to their division-mates. The Orioles might be one season removed from a really good season. But it’s not like 2025 was a hard luck year for them; the drop off was real and expected. And they’ve done very little to fix that team’s weaknesses…

    I do think sending him down to the minors is only being done to keep him as opposed to a DFA. The Sox do need to keep him. If he can’t/won’t be demoted, they still need to keep him. Their weakest link is more likely offense than the inability to find a makeshift right fielder for two innings…

    As I have been saying for years, the man really is a good hitter. And in an era where having legitimate MLB starting talent on the bench is financially impossible for most (all?) teams, the Sox have the rare opportunity to accomplish this on a roster on which he effectively covers 4 players. Maybe there’s a different reason there’s been no trade chatter on him all off-season…

    Improving the weakest slot is “OFTEN THE BEST” way to improving the team? I suppose if you like overly dramatically emphasized marginal upgrades. I mean, the weakest roster spot of at least 25 MLB rosters belongs to the backup catcher - arguably, Boston is one of these teams. How much will these teams really improve with a backup catcher upgrade? The Sox biggest weakness is likely to be offense. Who hits better? Yoshida? Or Eaton? Or Gasper? Heck, let’s include Romy vs RHP. For now, Casas and Romy are out. And no, you don’t need to clear places for them. All these other players on the Sox - Monasterio, Gasper, Ziegler, Ward - can all stay on the 40 for now. But they have to wait their turn because they’re simply not as good of a hitter as Yoshida…

    I was commenting about the fact that I was watching Team USA play Team Brazil in a game in which 17 year old Joe Contreras (son of José) was pitching fairly well against an MLB All Star team (not an AL All Star or an NL All Star team - but an MLB one) and I had to listen to some annoying announcer blather on about Shohei Ohtani and how he homered against the Chinese Taipei team, while the story right in front of him was this high schooler who faced Aaron Judge with the bases loaded and induced an inning ending double play. I guess I’m just not as impressed that 3 time MLB MVP can hit a home run off a 28 year old pitcher from the CPBL as I should be…

    How does any of that make him a relevant discussion topic during a game between Team USA and Team Brazil?
