  1. Actually I believe Hill is getting $9.5mill…
  2. Arroyo has been a pleasant surprise, but also a durability nightmare. If the Sox don’t land Story, I imagine Arroyo in a platoon with Bradley that involves bouncing Hernandez back and forth between 2b and CF…
  3. Possible. He’s also a much better player than Story, too…
  4. I’m not so sure that’s how any of it played out. For example, last September was the first time Iglesias and Bogaerts played together in Boston. Iglesias was dealt to Detroit 3 weeks before Xander’s MLB debut, and had been playing 3b (brilliantly) to accommodate Stephen Drew. Bogaerts reportedly did tell the Sox he was more comfortable at SS, but by then Iglesias and Drew were both gone, plus Xander did play 3b in the World Series. Story only recently pulled off his adamance at playing SS. And there have been stories for each side about whether or not Bogaerts would move…
  5. The Braves don’t care about spending? They let one of their most popular players walk away in free agency over barely more than they just spent on Jansen. (Also interesting side note, the Red Sox have outspent the Braves in free agency this off-season.)
  6. No need to remember him until July or August..,
  7. Correa to the Twins - 3 years $105mill…
  8. Someone said you had to…
  9. The important point is in that series of trades, we would have lost Jon Lester. Now the Sox are supposed to get Brandon McCarthy, which would have been a minute compensation at best…
  10. Pace yourself, Bobby D! Don’t peak in March!!
  11. Ok maybe. But only because he’s trying harder..
  12. Per the latest article on MLBTR, Story is open to changing position short term. They also cite he wants a “win now” team. San Francisco and Minnesota are also in the running let the article. Seattle seems to have settled their infield issues…
  13. On the Story front, MLBTR does paint a picture with Boston as a legitimate candidate to sign him. Of course, they need to be in the right financial ballpark first…
  14. Sox signed LHP Derek Holland to a minor league contract. I may have to dial back the sarcasm. Is it possible Bloom took my post about needing more southpaws seriously? Or he’s just signing them to MiLB deals to watch me go off?
  15. Shaw has now joined Jeff Suppan, Rheal Cormier and teammate Rich Hill on the list of players acquired by the Red Sox at least 3 times…
  16. So … not a fan of the automotive industry? Maybe Bloom is bringing Planned Obsolescence and the Toyota Way to MLB?
  17. Well, he is left-handed. So he’s on Bloom’s radar…
  18. Exactly!! Those of us who grew up in a world inundated with the TI 35 forget that there was a time when it didn’t exist…
  19. And my goal is to make $5 billion this year. But not every goal is achievable…
  20. Yes, but he often uses that free time to eat someone else’s…
  21. For the time being, at least one of Houck or Whitlock will be in the bullpen…
  22. Shaw is actually a good idea for a placeholder for Casas. An added bonus is he did actually hit pretty well for Boston last year. But this is a minor league contract, and as I have said many times, there is no such thing as a bad minor league contract…
