  1. It's the same in any industry. A prospective employee will consider earnings among other considerations in choosing a place of employment.
  2. Outside deals? Speaking engagements? Endorsements?
  3. That's akin to a fan of a small-market team losing respect for a player who signs with a big-market team.
  4. It could be worse. Another team with heightened expectations has lost 10 of its last 11 games.
  5. Or to snap MLB's longest current streak of consecutive losing seasons.
  6. September 19, 2020: https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/BOS/BOS202009190.shtml
  7. The Red Sox should have better days ahead.
  8. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/garrett-whitlock-is-bostons-most-valuable-pitcher/
  9. Is Connor Seabold ready? https://www.milb.com/player/connor-seabold-657756 https://www.milb.com/gameday/red-sox-vs-mud-hens/2022/05/04/664473#game_state=final,lock_state=final,game_tab=box,game=664473
  10. So far Seattle has a 2-4 record against Houston despite taking an earlier series from the Astros. At least the Mariners have a better record against the Astros than the Red Sox have against the Blue Jays. It should be an interesting season ... thanks for asking.
  11. Tough loss but the Red Sox can take the series against the AL West leaders with a win on Thursday.
  12. Only a road team's pitcher can record a blown save in extra innings.
  13. FWIW Roster Resource has Jaylin Davis and Tyler Danish on the 40-man roster: https://www.fangraphs.com/roster-resource/depth-charts/red-sox
  14. Anthony Bender has a career FIP of 3.46 despite the cited FIP in 8.1 innings this year.
  15. FWIW last week Anthony Bender posted four saves in four scoreless outings: https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/gl.fcgi?id=bendean01&t=p&year=2022 Bender has more saves this year than the entire Red Sox staff.
  16. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ But it's early.
  17. Please distinguish opinions from facts.
  18. Perhaps Seiya Suzuki did not want to play for the Boston Red Sox despite the urging of Koji Uehara.
  19. FanGraphs currently gives the Red Sox a 53.5 percent chance of advancing to the postseason while FiveThirtyEight has the Sox chances at 46 percent: https://www.fangraphs.com/standings/playoff-odds https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2022-mlb-predictions/
  20. Was five years at $115 million too much to pay for 30-year-old lefthander Robbie Ray coming off a Cy Young season? Over this first three starts Ray had posted only a negative 0.1 fWAR and 0.0 bWAR before posting his third quality start on Sunday. Ray's ERA of 3.91 would be about 2.55 but for a four-run second inning in a Chicago monsoon on April 13. Ray has gone at least six innings in all four starts but has seen his strikeout rate drop precipitously from his career rate of 11.1 per nine innings. The worth of Ray's contract may be determined by whether Ray helps the Seattle Mariners to the postseason rather than whether his production justifies his salaries in Years 4 and 5 of the contract.
  21. FWIW entering today's game Red Sox starters had posted a negative 0.1 fWAR in 49.2 innings this year while Red Sox relievers had posted 0.9 fWAR in 48.1 innings: https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=sta&lg=all&qual=0&type=8&season=2022&month=0&season1=2022&ind=0&team=0,ts&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&startdate=2022-01-01&enddate=2022-12-31
  22. Under the traditional QS definition, the Red Sox are among 10 MLB teams with no quality starts this year: https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/stats/team/team/extended-pitching/mlb/regular/?sortcol=qs&sortdir=descending The San Diego Padres lead the way with eight quality starts in 13 games. The game has changed.
  23. The Seattle Mariners have called up first baseman Mike Ford, who played collegiately at Princeton with the son of Seattle manager Scott Servais.
  24. Duly noted but the three players listed played for Penn, not Penn State (the latter has filled the NFL with many players).
