  1. If the Sox do spend at SS, I'm still holding that it will be Correa. Bogaerts? I will predict Philly. DD has signed him before...
  2. No way. The Sox have to re-add all of the 60 day IL players and then protect the "draftables" like Rafaela...
  3. Old and injured isn’t Dombrowski’s type? He is the one who signed Eovaldi and Sale. Ort will be DFAd before the Rule 5 draft. Book it…
  4. You would enjoy being a Tigers’ fan. Sure the team only won 66 games. BUT THEY DIDN’T FINISH IN LAST!! And isn’t that all that matters?
  5. Ort is 30. He doesn’t need more AAA; he needs to get used to living as a career minor leaguer…
  6. Not even remotely true. Not sure why you think free agency - where players can set their own prices and negotiate with multiple teams - is cheaper than arbitration, where players have to justify their raises to a third party and do better than the team justifying a lesser raise. And you really can’t go dumpster diving in the arbitration process as that involves the cheaper players that the cheaper trans want to keep. Now I’m free agency…
  7. Have you seen the Astros? What pitcher did they acquire via free agency? Even Verlander was acquired via trade. And free agency is probably the worst way to try to acquire pitching. Too often it involves paying pitchers in their 30s heavy salaries for what they did in their 20s. I’d rather explore the trade markets. There are always quality pitchers out there whose arbitration prices are exceeding their team’s budgets…
  8. The Sox would have nearly $90mill in AAV tied up at second, short, and third…
  9. Correa is represented by WME Baseball per his b-r.com page. They’re not necessarily any easier and he could fire them and hire Boras any second now…
  10. This statement could apply to 90% of the teams in MLB, if not all of them…
  11. Or - crazy thought - maybe they’ll just try to stay under and never have to reset…
  12. But he does look like Sideshow Bob if he let himself go, and that has to count for something…
  13. From that lot, I go with Manaea…
  14. Unless he gets fully automated…
  15. I mentioned this a while back, almost verbatim. As for his dropping value, that applies to nearly every arb-eligible player that loses a year of control while simultaneously getting a raise…
  16. But if pressed to predict (which I will actually do without pressure), I’d say Carlos Correa is more likely to be the Sox shortstop in 2023 than Bogaerts…
  17. Or it could simply mean no one is talking to the press during negotiations. Even in the Age of the Internet, not everything is public knowledge…
  18. I think we also underestimated that June schedule. The Sox played 8 series in Iune, but 4 of them are against teams that made the postseason. And the Sox did go 8-4 in those series. They didn’t just play Oakland for a month…
  19. I reluctantly agree with mvp. I don’t care about the AAV nearly as much as the years…
  20. He’s apparently into Hot Goat Yoga, less common due to the shortage of hot goats. Or even moderately attractive goats…
  21. The sad part is - he probably has one. Not to mention an elliptical, a Stairmaster and his own personal aerobics instructor named Cyndi who dots her “i” with a heart…
  22. You left out low-flying UFOs…
  23. Not according to Boston Celtics vs Mrs. Reggie Lewis…
  24. Who was the Colts’ player who tweeted “we could have played with balls made of soap and they’d still beat us”?
  25. Trot Nixon would do no such thing!!! I think!!
